I somehow read child porn but it's just regular porn.

Well yeah, I bet that's true of most big churches that have staff.

With any luck this was instead of diddling the choir boys, if so then have at it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

My thought as well. The porn industry is full of exploitation and I don’t support it in that form though. Maybe we should start manufacturing inflatable alter boys for the clergy.

It's sad that I was surprised it was just regular porn.

I was cheering.

The church and clandestine sex. Name a better duo.

[–] Buddahriffic 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what? This is one of the least problematic things I've heard about a church. Maybe internet porn will save a bunch of altar and choir boys.

Maybe they watched them together.

These are the sins Jesus died for, lord forgive me, I'm gonna crank my hog again 🙏

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I've masturbated 9 1/2 times since my last confession."

"And a half?"

"Well, it's 10 times, now."

They're just seeking insight on why the second coming takes so long to achieve.

Jesus: "Oh I'm coming, alright?!"

Without sin they would be out of business so it's good they can contribute.

Man I'd love to know how to break into the pro circuit of watching porn at work

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 4 points 1 year ago

If you know how to edit video, I can think of one way to do it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Amateur porn is indeed the best.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes but which ones? There are so many! Like I need names.

[–] CatPewpMeyhem 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am not surprised, when I worked for a hardware company (late 90's), the repair techs would fight over laptops that came in from churches because they always had the best porn.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


According to German media reports emerging early on Friday morning, staff members and clergy in the Archdiocese of Cologne made "mass attempts to access porn websites" on church-supplied computers.

The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper, which broke the story, reported that the diocese leadership was informed as early as July 2022 about corresponding activities by 15 employees.

Such activities, even if they are not punishable under either state or church law, are not permitted as part of the labor agreement with the archdiocese, which is located in western Germany.

Within that one-month period, there were around "1,000 access attempts to pages that were blocked by a protective filter because of questionable, undesirable content and potential threats to IT security," the paper reported.

In June this year, the list came to light again after police raided an employee of the archdiocese who was suspected of having child abuse material.

According to the report, although there were no indications that the material viewed on church computers was illegal, archdiocese officials turned over the information to Cologne investigators.


The original article contains 327 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Why would you watch it on something your employer can see? At least be safe and do it on your phone.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Because people are fucking stupid

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 7 points 1 year ago

They already think their boss's boss who is also his own father plus a ghost can see so why not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can't speak for the church staff, but personally it's just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.

Also, my employer isn't allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don't even disable the VPN to my office for it.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Putting the cum in ecumenical matters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hopefully that'll teach them to mind their own business instead of surveiling people's activity.

[–] sagrotan 1 points 1 year ago

Why not? As long as it's not too much, let them. I don't see the problem, as long as it's tasteful catholic porn and not that protestant-lutheranian trash.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get viewing porn at work..it's like goint to a restaurant to watch other people eat? Wait till you get home, idiot.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 6 points 1 year ago

It's the thrill of wondering whether today's the day you'll forget to mute the church PA system hooked up to your computer before the actors/actresses start praising the Lord and speaking in tongues.
