Priest raped us in an orgy, says nun

[ECH1969]

A PRIEST whose devotion to saving the souls of prostitutes and porn stars has earned him celebrity status in Italy has been arrested on charges of sexual violence and group rape.

Father Fedele Bisceglia, 69, was arrested after a nun alleged that she and other women had been raped at their Franciscan hostel at Cosenza in Calabria, southern Italy. Antonio Gaudio, 39, Father Bisceglia’s assistant, has also been charged with sexual harassment. Both men deny the charges.

He is probably best known for having converted Luana Borgia, a porn actress, to Christianity ten years ago, persuading her to enter a convent on a retreat to reflect on her life and “purify herself spiritually”.

3. I just looked it up, it looks like a really good movie

But I don't see the connection with Priests and Nuns.

11. Ever see the movie "The Devils of Loudoun"?

Is this nun, possibly, a hunchback?

"Grandier . . . Grandier!"

2. Wow. And at his age, too. 69

6. What a relief that he's not a homosexual. n/t

[tabasco]

7. Now that's a headline !

Either nuns are lying or the priest was raping.

Either way - more lurid press for the Catholics.

[Critters2]

8. And again I ask

why does ANYONE still belong to this organization?!

[superconnected]

16. All organizations have crap in them.

Good luck finding one that doesn't.

That's why I still belong to the DU.

21. Beats me! I quit it 40 years ago. Some are quicker learners than others.

9. "Best known for converting Luana Borgia, a porn actress, to Christianity"

Surely that alone merits a place in hell for the old bastard. ;-)

More seriously, the act of "converting" and "saving" is revealed, once more, as something less than its manufacturers claim. And sadly, something more, too.

10. My eyes are playing tricks...

I thought for a moment that headline said "Priest Raped in an Orgy"

[951-Riverside]

12. Wow two nuns at once....

...I'm text-less. :shrug:

[lagavulin]

13. I guess even at an orgy, "No means No"... n/t

[LisaL]

15. Well, now we know why he wanted hookers in a convent.

:shrug:

[Geo55]

17. Ohhh.....yeeezzz....

....persuading her to enter a convent on a retreat to reflect on her life and “purify herself spiritually”.

I'm suuure he "purified" dat spirit !

[LisaL]

18. Yes, he probably did a lot of purifications on that porn star.

[mitchum]

20. Did he think they were boys?

Maybe his eyesight is pretty bad at 69
