A Polish bishop has apologised as he confirmed his resignation weeks after a sex worker passed out at a hidden orgy, allegedly organised by one of his clergy.

...

It's alleged the orgy was arranged by Tomasz Zmarzly, the parish priest, and with several other clergy showing up to take part.

Polish press alleged that a participant, a 27-year-old male sex worker, passed out at the party after "overdosing on erectile dysfunction tables" at around 1am.

...

The individual is claimed to have recovered in hospital and later discharged himself.

A shame he wasn't able to discharge himself during the orgy, but glad the story had a happy ending.

What do you do at a rectory if not gay sex. It's called a rectory, for Pete's sake.

I thought it was for the sake of Jesus?

Clergymen get upset when you use His name like that.

Wait a minute, clergy almost sounds like orgy, these dudes are bound to bang each other.

Well done, though I would prefer

Of course that requires mixing both American and British idioms

I have questions...

Like would the bishop have been bashed if the orgy had gone right?

I'm sorry to say I clicked on the link.

"overdosing on erectile dysfunction tables"

I have more questions.

They're like times tables but harder.

[–] NatakuNox 11 points 8 months ago

They mean it when they say, "please call 911 if erection last more than 4 hours." by the fifth hour of salad tossing and having to hold his breath, he was near death.

There is always a danger when taking hard drugs.

[–] LazaroFilm 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That… that was my question.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 5 points 8 months ago

Probably a typo of "tablets." They mean Viagra.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

The bishop resigned, but the priest who organized the orgy is taking a different route.

Zmarzly has protested his innocence despite being suspended and made a public statement to Deon, a Polish Catholic news website.

The statement reads: "I regard this [allegation] as a blatant attack on the Church, including its clergy and followers, in order to disparage its position, its work and its mission."

Dude. Just come out of the closet. God didn't ordain your orgy.

Priest Defends Missionary Position Following Gay Orgy

LMAO you can’t do orgies as a priest, dude. Take that shit up with the pope LOL

As long as all participants of that orgy were consenting adults, I have no problem with that.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I have a problem with all of them telling others that they are sinning if they don’t remain abstinent until marriage and even then never use protection or birth control and obviously only the hetero kind is allowed in both cases.

I have a friend who is a gay man and was happily out of the closet. Then his mom died and he blames himself and his “deviant” lifestyle for her death. As a result, he turned to hardcore Catholicism and is at church every day atoning for his “sin” and trying to lead a life of abstinence. It’s fucking disgusting how much he’s changed in just a few short years because of this ancient bullshit.

It's just the hypocrisy that's an issue for me

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Well they did try to prevent paramedics from entering the church after one of the sex workers OD'd on viagra.

However I would like to add that the Express is basically a far-right hyper nationalistic paper in the UK that only the most Brexit pilled simpletons read. I almost think they're only covering the story because it's a Polish priest and most of their readers despise people from Poland.

Granted I think think the web version of the Express is less crazy than the physical newspaper, and I'm sure the story is pretty much entirely true. It would just be good to use essentially any other news publication as a source instead.

Rectory: portmentau of “rectum” and “sorry”

Seminary: portmanteau word of "semen", "in" and "Harry".

There's just enough ambiguity in his apology that you can't be sure he's apologizing for the orgy or just the guy that OD'd on Viagra.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Another participant who had allegedly been ejected from the party, rang the emergency services for help, but on arrival, a team of paramedics were barred from entering.

I have more questions. What’d this guy do to get kicked out of a Catholic gay orgy?

Used the Lord's name in vein? Rosary anal beads?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

😂😂 I choose to believe it was rosary anal beads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

You have chosen... wisely.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

This is amazing.

Not sure how making a sex worker take an overdose of boner pills is supposed to go right but whatever.
