Let Us Prey

A Roman Catholic Polish priest was sentenced to one year in Federal "pound me in the ass" prison for groping a 16-year-old girl on a flight to Newark last year.

Yes, a girl.

The girl was on her way here from Belarus for treatment of a medical condition in Pennsylvania. No, the priest wasn't performing a legitimate medical exam. He reached under her blanket to grab her thigh and groin.

The Rev. Tomasz Adam Zielinski, 33, was here on a religious visa and was serving as an associate pastor at a church in Manville, NJ. In case you didn't know, almost everyone who goes to church in Manville is Polish. I used to work there and the old Polish ladies would just as soon kill you as look at you if you beat them to the pigs' knuckles in Foodtown.

I digress.

He said he regretted his actions.

"I pray for her," he said.

Yeah, nice going Padre. You probably wouldn't have to pray for her if you'd kept your hands to yourself.
