Priest in sex abuse case blames first Jews, then Freemasons, for his woes

A beloved Italian Roman Catholic priest under investigation for pedophilia has apologized for saying that "a radical-chic Jewish lobby is stretching out to weaken the whole Church..." in a public statement while defending himself on the sex abuse charges.

Father Pierino Gelmini added that he had misspoken, and had meant to say "radical-chic Masonic lobby."

Jewish leaders in Italy demanded an apology, which is what prompted the padre to say "Oops, I meant the Masons."

My thanks to Bro. Kannard of Grail Seekers for the heads-up on this story.
