Priest engages in hanky-panky. Gets charged.

Tis a priest this time. Perhaps a "full blown" priest...

A Catholic priest has been charged with patronizing a prostitute.

Father Andrezej Pawlel Skrzypiec was arrested Aug. 24 near 200 North 900 West in Salt Lake City during an undercover prostitution sting where police were targeting "johns," according to a probable cause affidavit filed in 3rd District Court.

Fr. Skrzypiec initially accused the undercover officer as being a "cop," but eventually agreed to pay $30 for a sex act, the affidavit claimed. After making the agreement, Skrzypiec was arrested and charged with one count of patronizing a prostitute, a class-A misdemeanor.

The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City told FOX 13 that Fr. Skrzypiec is currently on administrative leave pending the outcome of the charges. Over the weekend, a statement was read from the pulpit at Saint Ambrose Church in Salt Lake City and at J.E. Cosgriff Memorial School, where Skrzypiec worked.

following the precedents of the last two thousand years, I'd say he should be forced to go without his chasuble for a week.

It should instead be a regulated business and the priest should not have been publicly shamed for his activities.
