The pope has accepted the resignation of a Polish bishop whose diocese has been rocked by reports of a gay orgy involving a male sex worker in a priest’s apartment, as well as previous violent incidents involving his clergy.

The Vatican did not give a reason why Grzegorz Kaszak was resigning as head of the diocese of Sosnowiec, in south-western Poland. At 59, he is several years shy of the normal retirement age of 75.

But his diocese has been in the spotlight after one of his priests was placed under criminal investigation for having allegedly organised an orgy at his apartment in Dąbrowa Górnicza involving a male sex worker. Polish media reported that one of the participants of the sex party collapsed after overdosing on erectile dysfunction pills.

I mean…at least it wasn’t kids this time and presumably everyone was consenting adults…so….that’s a step in the right direction, right?

In the Catholic Church that’s worse, much worse

Now if only he'd accept the resignation of all the pedo-priests they protect (and maybe turn over all their evidence so real justice could be served?)

It just gets better: A prosecutor said the priest was suspected of “failing to provide assistance to a person whose life is at risk” for having allegedly tried to bar paramedics from entering the apartment.

one of the participants...collapsed after overdosing on erectile dysfunction pills.

No mention as to whether or not he landed on his kickstand...
