Grant Storms Arrested: Anti-Gay Christian Pastor Charged Over Public Masturbation
Rev. Grant Storms, a renowned anti-gay Christian pastor from Louisiana, was arrested last week for masturbating at a public park, in the vicinity of a carousel and playground where children were present.
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, one woman saw Storms parked in his van "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down...," the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office report read. After judging that Storms was masturbating, the woman and another mother who witnessed the event both alerted deputies.
After being apprehended by authorities, Storms claimed that he had been urinating into a bottle. He was then booked for obscenity -- charges that he denied -- and then released due to overcrowding in the jail.
"Pornography is destructive and it can ruin a person's life, and it ruined my life," he said at the conference, admitting that he had his hands in his pants, but maintaining that he wasn't masturbating. "Do I have problems? Yes. Did I do something wrong? Yes."
Despite his apology, which he also extended to the gay community, to which he has been a prominent opponent, Grants also denied claims that he had been "looking at the children" in the area.
The Catholic Church requires priests never to marry. Martin Luther believed that specific requirement was unnatural and went against human nature.
It's no wonder Catholic priests have so much pent up sexual drive. And then they are around "altar boys" who are at their beck and call, helping them dress for Mass. It's a screwed up religion.
I believe religions that base their beliefs on what you shouldn't do, and how evil everyone else is, have more scandals than other more positive inspired faiths.

Not looking to argue with you my friend, but can you name a Religion that doesn't say No to certain choices in life? There is a difference between Right and Wrong, and most Religions that I know of and have studied, do tell you which choices are right and wrong, That makes them all fall into the category of your exclusivism.
An anti-gay pastor in New Orleans who once called masturbation "immoral" was arrested recently for doing just that at a public park.

Storms initially claimed he was simply urinating into a bottle, but later admitted to pleasuring himself, WDSU 6 News reported. Although there were children in the park at the time of the incident, police did not believe it was related to the pastor's actions.

Such posts only expose the fact that you are ignorant when it comes to the Catholic faith kresspin. Would it surprise you to learn that there are priests who are married? Would it surprise you to know that Deacons can be married as well? Your prejudices are clearly evident, as is your ignorance on matters regarding the Catholic Church.
Pedophiles are everywhere kresspin. They are in the public schools, coaches of little league sports, police departments, fire departments, lawyers, judges, day care centers, child advocacy centers - one may even be your next door neighbor. Your condemnation of all based upon the actions of a few are as wrong when applied to priests as it is when others, equally as bigoted and ignorant as yourself, apply them to homosexuals.
Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt, yes? Perhaps you should spend a little time educating yourself on topics before you opine regarding them. In most instances, prejudice, ignorance and bigotry disappear when one becomes knowledgeable upon any given subject.

Yeah it would surprise me to know there are Catholic priests who are married.
Since you are so knowledgeable, are there any married Catholic priests in Colorado? What's the percentage of married Catholic priests to unmarried Catholic priests in the entire country?
It's not my condemnation. As I stated, it's Martin Luther's. And it's not a condemnation of homosexual priests. It's a condemnation of priests who don't marry.
No doubt a "family man and a devout Christian"....
