A CATHOLIC priest from Connecticut, suspended in from his diocese in 2011 for “erratic behaviour”, faces a maximum of 20 years in the slammer and a $6-million fine for dealing crystal meth.
What a drag! Wallin faces prison and a huge fine if convicted of drug dealing
Monsignor Kevin Wallin, who later resigned from his post at Bridgeport’s St Augustine Cathedral, was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly tried to sell drugs to an undercover agent.
According to a statement this week from the US Attorney’s Office, Monsignor Kevin Wallin and four other men were indicted in an alleged drug operation that involved sending shipments of methamphetamine from California for sale in Connecticut.
The indictment said 61-year-old Wallin had sold as much as $9,000 of meth per week.
It was also reported that Wallin enjoyed cross dressing, “bizarre sex toys” and having sex in his rectory with “odd-looking men”.
Diocese Spokesman Brian Wallace told the Connecticut Post that officials began receiving complaints about Wallin’s appearance and erratic behavior in the spring of 2011.
We approached him and he admitted he was struggling a bit and shortly after that he resigned (July 2011) and the bishop granted him a sabbatical.
Wallace added that the priest was later suspended after he failed to show up for follow-up examinations.
The Connecticut Post reported:
While pastor of St Augustine’s, sources said he often disappeared for days at a time; and rectory personnel became concerned and notified diocese officials when Wallin, sometimes dressed as a woman, would entertain odd-looking men, some who were also dressed in women’s clothing and engaging in sex acts.
The report said that diocese officials also:
Found bizarre sex toys in Wallin’s residence.
After leaving the priesthood Wallin purchased a North Haven adult film store call Land of Oz. The business, which sold X-rated videos and sex toys, may have been used to launder drug money, investigators said. A September Facebook post said that Land of Oz was holding a “going out of business sale” and “everything must go.”
I am desperate to know what constitutes a ‘bizarre ‘ sex toy….
Oh lucy1, no. Now we’ll have Barry & barriejohn posting links to all manner of whimsical butt-plugs.
Take your pick, Lucy 1: Me? I’d say the Barack Obama dildo:

Well… There’s always this:

“Cross-dressing (Catholic) priest” – tautology.
“Head of State” dildo: that’s a good one.
Remigius: “Cock”(2). (As if I would!)

barriejohn. Some priests do wear men’s clothes. There was one on ‘The Big Question’ this morning. He looked almost normal. You just couldn’t tell.
After taking Mass,
A priest who had some class
Said: “See my dildo
Beats yours, I know –
Jesus up my ass!”
Remigius: Jeebus warned us about them. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Minus the $9k of meth he sounds like my kind of Catholic priest.
Thank you gentlemen!
@Lucy 1: I required enlightenment as much as yourself. I have come to realise, and not for the first time, that I have led a very sheltered life. Probably the result of staying married to the same woman.
Always interesting to expand one’s horizons,,,
I suppose one would have to do drugs to make the babble understandable.
It’s probably has a clearer meaning after crystal meth.

I’d like to decipher this one – for “odd-looking men” read CLERGY.
And talking of whimsical butt-plugs – anyone seen Ken? He usually turns up on these naughty priest posts to offer his divine forgiveness.
ROAS: It has been suggested that some of the writers were partaking of “substances” at the time. Just look at some of the prophetic books, like Daniel, Ezekiel and The Revelation!

Barriejohn.
Interesting article. I wouldn’t be surprised.
many stone age peoples and aborigines, witch doctors and shamans take drugs or hallucinogens to communicate with their gawds.
why wouldn’t a bunch of useless hill top living goat herders be any different. I mean what else would there have been to do there save get stoned talk shit and make up fairy stories.
Rabbit, perhaps you have uncovered another major inaccuracy of the bible, it should have read: ‘And on the seventh day god spliffed up’.
They were all at it in the OT, anyway. There’s a passage where Rachel “lighted off her Camel” somewhere in Jenny-sis …
Yeah. Cos, going back to that Eye of the Needle stuff, camel means rope. And rope was made of hemp. And hemp comes from…
Surely as a secular website, we could refrain from posting a picture until proven guilty, and use a headline minus the word Catholic. I as much as anyone would like to see the back of Catholicism, however this has yet to go to trial and regardless of creed is it not more important just to state he was a prominent member of a community?

It is easier for a rich man to pass a camel than to enter the eye of a needle.

I kinda think their priestly dresses they wear everyday is a form of cross-dressing.
I imagine the meth sales was to makeup the losses for lack of donations, so he couldn’t DIP into the collection box for his drug money.
Not sure what the “odd-looking men” were up to…any altar boys complaining of sore butts after their appearance?

…I’m guessing that all the prayers in the world could not change his desires, as to why he prob went into the priesthood in the first place, since he was taught at a young age that such desires were evil.
(many stone age peoples and aborigines, witch doctors and shamans take drugs or hallucinogens to communicate with their gawds.)
…exactly! The modern followers of religion don’t realize they are worshiping the hallucinations of ancient cliff dwellers, high on shroons. And the reason the religious leaders don’t want the followers to USE, is because the followers would than have the same holey experience causing the leaders to be, not so special…hence, no reason to worship them and give them money. The ancient religious leaders would loose their free ride and have to work like everyone else.
With this simple con, they elaborated it to, “Give me all your stuff now, and after you die you will receive great rewards”
