Catholic Priest Sells Cocaine From Church
THE Reverend Christopher Layden, of St. John’s Catholic Newman Center on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana, is listening.
You enter the confession box.
Confessor: “Forgive me father, for I have sinned, it is ten days since my last hit of cocaine.”
Father Layden: “It’s thirty bucks a snort and be quick.”
Someone is listening. Someone tells the cops.
Father Layden pleads not guilty to “two counts of delivery of less than 1 gram of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church and one count of possession with intent to deliver 1 to 15 grams of cocaine near a church.”
Bail is set at $50,000.
Say three Mary Janes and hallelujah!

I hope that it’s also a crime to go recklessly proselytising within 1,000 feet of a centre of learning, or a felony to forgive someone within the environs of a good-ole-boys bar crouched like a sullen concrete gargoyle beneath a sheltering sky just off the dusty Interstate somewhere in Texas. She’s carrying a balance, America!
