YOU don’t have to be crazy to be a Christian – but it sure does help, as defrocked Catholic priest Neil Horan has proved on a number of occasions.
Back in 2004, the Roman Catholic priest stripped naked and chased a seven-year-old girl around a room.

This led to an Old Bailey indecency trial, but Horan was acquitted. He agreed he got naked during the incident but denied getting the child to touch him.
In 2005 he was defrocked after being jailed TWICE for taking God’s Word onto the track of several international sporting events, including the Silverstone Grand Prix in 2003.
Defrocked he may be, but Horan, 61, still has a penchant for frocks – something millions of TV viewers witnessed when the witless god-prodder appeared at the weekend on Britain’s Got Talent to dance a similar jig to the one he performed outside the Old Bailey when he was cleared of the indecency charge.
After he was defrocked, Horan said he was stunned by the news:
I now cannot preach, I cannot give out communion – I am little more than a pagan.
The Irishman added:
I completely reject this decision. I appeal to the much higher court of heaven and the court of Jesus Christ.
You can see Horan’s BGT performance here. Hope y’all have a high pain threshold.

Does the Girl Scout uniform help him get closer to god?

Priests do not become childfuckers as a consequence of having access to an unlimited number of choirboys. Rather, childfuckers become priests in order to gain access to an unlimited number of choirboys.

Paedo's and the RC church. Now who would have seen that one coming?

I love the slogan about the second coming, the idiot should do some research into past end of the world predictions, what those predictions were based on and what their track record was for being right.

No Buffy – the little dress means that he can dance and play the castanets at the same time!

That placard about the "Second Coming" is just too funny for words – he can`t possibly have seen the potential interpretations of it (especially under the circumstances!) or he`d never have worn it!!

Priests aren't all going to raise their hemlines to this degree I hope.

I suppose if he runs off stage he starts his own applause?

Goes like the clappers!

That would definitely lend weight to the theory that the Latin Mass ("hoc est corpus") was the original inspiration for the "Hokey Cokey" – hahaha!!!

According to Anglican prelate John Tillotson, writing in 1694, "In all probability those common juggling words of hocus pocus are nothing else but a corruption of hoc est corpus, by way of ridiculous imitation of the priests of Rome in their trick of Transubstantiation."

Take that one with a pinch of salt.

We shouldn't pity the catholic afflicted !!!!
But they're bloody funny !!!! I could just see Benedict doing this in his Prada slippers after a hard session with gorgeous George !!!

I wonder if they new about his priestly shenanigans. would they have given him the stage if they new he chased 7 year old girls around the room while naked?
May 19th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
They`d probably have asked him to do THAT as an act instead!!

Isn't he the prick who disrupted the marathon at the Athens olympics? He jumped on a leading runner and totally messed his form up. I remember the look of anguish on the runner's face – a lifetime of hard work ruined by a silly Irish twat in a dress. Pity the crowd didn't lynch him.

You`re right Mr G – the guy is actually a serial disrupter of sports events! This is all suppposed to have something to do with his belief that the end of the world is near – though just what I can`t imagine. However, I should think that if he persists in pissing off sports participants in the same manner, the end of HIS world may be much closer than he actually believes!!

This guy just has to be deranged – or a fundamentalist Christian. Same thing, of course. Another excellent contender for the daftest "person of faith" eligible for five minutes on Thought for the Day. He should try that dinky skirt in some pubs in Glesga'. I would pay serious money to watch the consequences. Probably start with something like, "Are you aff your heid, Jimmy?" That would be the hight point. Next step, "Are taking the piss, pal?" The descent after that would be swift and possibly terminal. Prayer would be unlikely to help.
