(Reuters) - A Roman Catholic priest was arrested on charges he viewed child pornography in the rectory of his Pittsburgh-area church, the diocese said on Sunday. The Rev. Bartley Sorensen, 62, pastor of St. John Fisher Church in Churchill, Pennsylvania, was arraigned on charges of possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony, according to the Diocese of Pittsburgh. He was being held on Sunday in the Allegheny County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond, jail officials said. Sorensen was arrested after a church employee walked into the rectory on Friday and saw Sorensen viewing a computer image of a young boy naked from the waist down, with the words "Hottie Boys" on the screen, police said. She alerted diocesan officials, who immediately contacted police. Allegheny County detectives found pornographic images of young boys on his computer, police said. During an interview, Sorensen admitted to possessing at least 100 pornographic pictures of children, police said. He has not been charged with abusing children. Accusations of child abuse and sexual impropriety against Catholic clergy in the United States have rocked the Catholic Church since 2002, and the church has paid out some $2 billion in settlements to abuse victims. The pornography arrest also comes amid a series of separate scandals that have seen a steady march of men make abuse accusations in recent weeks against coaches at Penn State University, Syracuse University and most recently against a top official at the Amateur Athletic Union. The Pittsburgh diocese said in a statement that Sorensen had been placed on administrative leave. "The viewing of pornographic images involving children is a disturbing and criminal act," the statement said. "The Diocese of Pittsburgh is cooperating to the fullest extent in the investigation of this incident." A priest for 35 years, Sorensen had been a pastor at St. John Fisher only for several weeks, having been previously assigned for nine months to St. Anne Church in Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania. His past includes an assignment as chaplain at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh. The Rev. Ronald Lengwin, diocese spokesman, said the diocese had provided Sorensen with the names of several possible attorneys after his arrest but it was unclear who he had retained for the criminal case. Poster Comment: He must be one of them "Satanic infiltrators" that christians are always babbling about.

I'll bet he isn't much different than those slimey perverted pedophilic joos.
You got it exactly right!! WHat other kind of perv would do such a thing? That is why I think you have it wrong. Your anger or dissilusionment with organized religion, motivated by your research on the criminal jews, was not resolved or addressed by claiming you are a satanist. That is beyond absurd. satan, the father of lies, is a fallen angel (an angel which was created by God and who rebelled and was thus cast into hell). Since satan and his henchmen devils hate God and goodness and honesty, decency, etc,. they work to trap people and trick them into doing evil. Since I dont believe you love evil, then i dont know why you would call yourself a satanist. However, I am sure you will say that all my definitions, the story i told, and the context of all this are incorrect and were all made up by those in organized religion whose aim is to 'control everyone'. I've heard that for years. folks who claim that 'organized religion was merely a control mechanism thought up by the rulers to control everyone'. rulers would not want people to be moral or righteous. they want people to be weak scumbags, which they are, which much further helps the controllers cause. "Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
the freemason (satanist) infiltrators allowed all the modernists, pervs, and fags into the church. it was a long term plot. it was written about centuries ago, warned about by popes, and there are recent books on many of the seminaries which were hijacked by fags and athhiest psychiatrists. they reject the good normal holy men and promote the pervs. it is the devils work, literally. they have done a pretty good job of it, but in the end, they will lose.
"Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
Its absurd only if you use the christian definition of Satan. They're a tad biased. For example, look up the word "daemon" and study it's roots. What does it mean? And why was the definition changed by the church? I am a blood dedicated Satanist, precisely because of what Satan represents. You say that satan represents evil etc. Well, read the bible and see who is evil. It's not satan. I find it interesting that some people that call themselves christians can rightfully rail against the jews and their actions, but they keep the jew 'god' and completely overlook that psychopathic 'gods' actions that are plainly spelled out in the bible. The kikes are only following that "gods" example. rulers would not want people to be moral or righteous. they want people to be weak scumbags, which they are, which much further helps the controllers cause. In my sigline there is a link that specifically addresses your point. Ingersoll says it better than I can. I'd only be reinventing the wheel. People are NOT "weak scumbags". People are humans that are made weak by listening to preachers tell them how weak they are, and they actually believe them. If you're told you're a weak POS enough times, you will believe it. Tell me, who is harder to control, a christian that doesn't even know the bible and actually refuses to read it, ALL OF IT, or a Satanist that questions everything, including authority? -------------------------------------------------------- Rulers can appeal to the sense of morality most people have, by convincing them that to obey their rules and believe their words is the will of God. They can have books written that become the "word of God", and those who refused to call it that and view it as such were delt with by torture and death. How holy and good were the "men" who tortured people to death in medieval prisons?
A person doesn't need to afix a title of "satanist" upon themselves to question authority and rebel against injustice. In fact, a person who does so is simply falling for the other side of the same coin. To the "church", anyone who does these things IS a Satanist. Questioning authority and rebellion are serious sins. There are people, christians, right here, that have much more in common with satanism than they do with christianity. Plus, the kikes did not invent "Satan". Satan is a title, not a proper name. It's not the same coin. It's a different coin. What you describe is called "inverse christianity". That is not satanism. -------------------------------------------------------- well, for the record, I do not speak for the church when i refer to these pervs as satanists. I have never heard the church actually call these pervs satanists. many people do though, because these crimes are some of the sickest and worst one can imagine. But generally, people who SIN are just that. sinners, or in the case of child molesters, they are pervs who deserve scorn and worse. because they are hurting innocents. i call them satanists because i believe that is who inspires them to do these things. "Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
there have been a lot of bad things done by those who are Christian, yet their acts do not invalidate Christianity. As a matter of fact, sinners are the ones who need Christianity the most. The tenants of Christianity, the teachings of Christ, are something to strive for, and are not invalidated by the fact that people's human nature is sinful. "Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
Well, if that is your belief, then that is your belief. It's certainly not an uncommon belief. -------------------------------------------------------- I looked up the word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(classical_mythology) The jews bad actions do not reflect on their God. That is as I said above., peoples bad actions do not relfect on the religion they aspire to adhere to. People have free will. they can choose to do whatever they want. if humans were not given the option to do bad, then there would be no virtue in doing good, would there? They were given free will. God is not a dictator. I dont read the bible and find all sorts of horrific things that God allegedly did. I suppose it would be a full time project just to go over and properly your accusations though, which may be why our discussions never seem to get anywhere. For that, I am sorry. Maybe someday i will have the time to work on it. But a larger issue, and perhaps more importantly, is that my religion is not focused solely on the Bible. That's a protestant thing. "Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
Always remember that Satan has been given dominion over this world, until Christ returns to claim his own. Always remember this whenever some insanity happens. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Sweet Jeebus, JT! What the hell's going on over there in your neck-O-the-woods? On the bright side we ain't got no coloreds or Joos, except those who dwell in academia. To the "church", anyone who does these things IS a Satanist. Questioning authority and rebellion are serious sins. In some extreme fundamentalist congregations, perhaps, but not in the average mainstream "church", at least not Catholicism. Plus, the kikes did not invent "Satan". If you mean the ancient Hebrews, well actually they named a LOT of "fallen angels" as well as the names of the archangels and lesser angels. Satan is a title, not a proper name. It's not the same coin. It's a different coin. What you describe is called "inverse christianity". That is not satanism. Wrong. Satan, in modern terms, is the name of an evil entity who is the "master" of all evil beings and deeds. Such a being is the personification of evil itself. Whether or not there actually IS such a being is irrelevant. It's like taking the word "nazi", calling yourself a nazi, and claiming that nazi really means someone who is kind of heart and loves cute fuzzy animals. You can't change the definition of a word just because it pleases you or suits your interests. You have your beliefs. Thing is, most of the wars and suffering over the past several thousand years were brought about by so-called "Christians". Ever hear of the phrase, "By their deeds ye shall know them"? Yes, there HAVE been many people who were truly spiritual and blessed who have done good deeds. Thing is, those with the power of government, those who performed their deeds in the name of Christ, brought bloodshed, misery, and terror to entire populations of Europe and elsewhere. And Rome supported most if not all of these actions. Who was behind the Spanish Inquisition? What happened to the Jews, and those of other faiths, back in the early years of the Church? Whatever happened to the Essenes? Ever hear of the Crusades? And actually, there were more inquisitions than just the most well known one, the Spanish Inquisition... Then there's the Roman and Roman Catholic persecution of Jews... And then there is also the persecution of "pagans" by the Roman Christian Empire. Persecution of Pagans by the Christian Roman Empire Ye shall know them by their fruits. No. It is mainstream. At least in protestant churches. I know little about catholicism because I wasn't raised in it. If you mean the ancient Hebrews, well actually they named a LOT of "fallen angels" as well as the names of the archangels and lesser angels. They didn't name Satan. Some say that they did in Isaiah, calling him Lucifer, but that refers to the king of Babylon. In that same chapter, that king dies etc. The kikes have their own brand of occultism. That is what you are speaking of; jewish occultism. It's very popular. Wrong. Satan, in modern terms, is the name of an evil entity who is the "master" of all evil beings and deeds. Such a being is the personification of evil itself. No, I am right. The belief that you state is based on christian beliefs. It is a christian invention. You can't change the definition of a word just because it please you or suits your interests. I was not the one that changed the definition of the word. They turned everything upside down, and if numbers matter, they pretty much won. The left hand path is a lonely path, but I'm still in better company. This religion stuff really doesn't matter that much, imo. Until someone comes along and makes demands of me, based on their religious beliefs. Then we have a problem. And christians are pretty good at making these demands on others that do not share their beliefs. Time was, they'd just fucking murder you. Now, they send in the bombers, and let others do their killing for them. Or they pass laws, restricting others freedom. -------------------------------------------------------- The kikes have their own brand of occultism. That is what you are speaking of; jewish occultism. It's very popular. Lucifer in terms of the Latin text translates to "light bearer", and in Hebrew it translates to "the morning star". It wasn't till the 3rd century AD that the term was associated with Satan. As far as the word Satan, it is based on the Hebrew word "ha-Satan" used throughout the Old Testament in contexts ranging from an "accuser" appointed by God to test men's faith, to an actual adversery of God. In Christianity and Islam it was changed to mean the actual chief of the fallen angels... In terms of the Book of Enoch (the source of angelic and demonic names which can be traced back to Babylonian origins), it refers to Satanael "as being the prince of the Grigori who was cast out of heaven", and an evil spirit. Google is your friend, perhaps you should get to know it better... Lucifer Anyone else notice what the first letters of each word put together spell out? LSD. I wonder if the chemical name (Lysergic acid diethylamide) was intentionaly formed to spell those letters when abbreviated... [Edit] Oddly enough, a US Navy landing ship involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco carried the designation USS San Marcos LSD-25 LOL! With google, you too could be a high priest! (That is sarcasm on more than one level. You'd have to be a satanist to appreciate it though) It wasn't till the 3rd century AD ... In Christianity and Islam it was changed... Thanks for confirmation that it was changed. --------------------------------------------------------He must be one of them "Satanic infiltrators" that christians are always babbling about.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll
