Fla. Priest Is My Babydaddy: Ex-Stripper

Woman took payoff over 'inappropriate relationship' with same father 3 years ago

Share

(Newser) – The Vatican famously frowns on randy clergy, but Rome is surely burning over this one—former stripper Beatrice Hernandez tells CBS4 that a Florida priest fathered her baby, and she's seeking a restraining order after he attacked her for demanding a DNA test. Hernandez, who says her relationship with Father David Dueppen began while she was taking it off at the dubiously-named Porky's, took a payoff three years ago from the local diocese over an "inappropriate relationship" with, you guessed it, Dueppen.

“David said to me that if I go to the media, he would make me disappear and take my baby,” Hernandez says. Dueppen—who once pastored the same Miami church led by “Kissing Priest” Alberto Cutié—has been on administrative leave “for personal reasons” for a month, says an Archdiocese spokesperson.

The Holy Catholic Church. Man, if only there was a real hell. These bent bastards would burn for sure. With their "popes" roasting in the hottest spot. Evil incarnate, the Holy Catholic Church. Watch for this priest to turn up in a new "diocese" (read: hunting ground) soon. Reply

Obviously we have been told for a long time by biologists-psychologists-and scholars dealing with the brain and human drives-that at best even being in a relationship with one person for life is difficult-now take that a step further-no sex (except masturbation of course because Rome doesn't say much about that and maybe lap dancing) for life-not very likely it will happen-and when you have an all male clergy it tends to attract men that have a proclivity toward males and pedophiles since such a career choice provides easy access to satisfy such needs-it will probably be too late bythye time RC church gets over its own sexual hang-ups.

I agree with you except that religious people will never get over their sexual hangups. Having sexual hangups, and trying to regulate sex, is a primal part of their system.
