McGreevey to attend seminary
Father McGreevey?
Oh, c'mon. This is too easy.
Make your own damned joke.

About Me
- Name: Michael Riley
Michael Riley is a feature writer and columnist for the Asbury Park Press. An ordained American Baptist minister, he pastored three congregations over a period of 20 years before being lured from the pulpit by the secular humanist, heathenish world of journalism. The Baptists were only slightly sorry to see him go. Riley was born in Camden and raised in a South Jersey trailer park in the shadow of a truck stop. He is a graduate of Eastern College and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, who will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in May, have four sons. The only really honest work he has ever done was a stint as a clam shucker at a place called Cap'n Cat's in South Jersey. Riley has been said to assume that he is usually the smartest person in any room he happens to be in. The man has opinions.

This is Jerry Springer's dream show come true: "former married governors who came out of the closet and decided to be priests".
as an Episcopalian, I refuse to accept Communion from him..who knows where those hands have been lately? (He confessed in his tell-all book that he made secret gay liaisons with strangers on NJ roadways - who knows if he still does?)...I am sure he will insist on an all-male dorm at the semenary, sorry, freudian slip, I meant seminary...
God help us all..can he perform his own marriage with his partner?
As your favorite NJ singer would say: he's livin' on a prayer...
it's my life..it's now or never..
Let's see: Come out of the closet, then become a priest. Isn't that exactly the opposite of the way it usually goes?

He can perform whatever he wants with his partner as long as I don't have to watch.
amen to that!
The objections to McGreevey as a potential priest sound like neo-Donatism to me. If the efficacy of the Sacraments depends on the sinlessness of the celebrant, then we're all at risk.
Yes, he's an individual with a troubled past -- but so were Peter and Paul and Judas Iscariot. Let's see where he goes from here. We might be surprised -- or not.
He's also still married as of this writing.
doesn't matter in Episcopal religion if married..cannot be married in Catholic, but can enter priesthood if divorced.. I believe only if from another religion and then convert ,,,how hypocritical is that?
Father McCreepy!
