Related: About this forumDNA test tells man the bittersweet truth: His father was a Catholic priest
PAXTON For decades, James C. Graham was tormented by a simple, but profound question: Why did his father seem to dislike him so much?
On Tuesday, the South Carolina man confirmed the bittersweet truth: The man who raised him wasnt his father at all.
Grahams extraordinary 25-year effort to find the truth about his father ended when a forensic anthropologist told him that his DNA matched samples taken from a deceased Catholic priest who grew up in Lowell and graduated from Boston College.

Yet more awful behavior from this awful institution.

Vows of chastity are easily broken, and can be forgiven in confession, with only a penance to do and a "good act of contrition."

What's his harm, having been born?

No recourse, really. Just a piece of information.
