Not just a "bishops" problem, but clearly the laity want to be led by guys picking up guys on the internet. I wonder when he'll be declared "healed" at St. Luke's and sent back to do parish work?
From ABC30.com: Farewell Mass For Lastiri:
"St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Merced held a farewell mass Sunday for outgoing Father Jean-Michael Lastiri.
Supporters of the priest are collecting signatures on petitions and hope to present the names of 2,000 supporters to the Fresno Diocese.
The priest is facing allegations of using the internet to solicit sex with men.
Although the priest was not at Sunday's mass, he did leave a statement to the parish vowing he will return.
Supporters hope he'll be forgiven for the alleged misconduct.
Lastiri has been removed from the parish. He is expected to leave the area next week and will then head to a Maryland treatment facility for psychological and spiritual counseling."
