Priest Sex-Abuse Case Hits Church of Pope's Adviser. Time reports: Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sexual encounters with young and vulnerable boys. "I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues," he allegedly said.
Naturally his parish is in the archdiocese of the cardinal who is advising Pope Ratzi on how to purge the pedophiles from the priesthood. Talk about a big fucking fail. That said, this final bit of the article was the perfect ending to this horrible story: Seppia is currently being kept in a confinement cell in a Genoa prison. He met the jail's priest and psychologist. "He has read the newspapers, and he is pained by his parishioners' comments," says his lawyer.
I hope he suffers in jail. I know, not very christian, but either is he.
