From NY1:
A Queens priest is under federal investigation for allegedly violating child pornography laws.
Monsignor Michael Dempsey of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Forest Hills, seen above, was placed on administrative leave after the Brooklyn Diocese learned of the investigation.
That means Dempsey cannot present himself as a priest, present sacraments, or wear his robe.
In a statement, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio said, "The steps we have taken are essential to maintaining our commitment to the bishops’ Charter and Norms. It is a responsibility we take seriously."
Dempsey has been the executive director of pastoral communications at the church since 1978.

Maybe DeMarzio will make a robocall to his flock to tell them he's going to support a full and open criminal trial which he'll broadcast on churchy channel run by this perv.
Who are they kidding? It's not normal to be "celibate".

What was it that one particular pedophile priest once uttered to one of his altar boys?
Oh yes..."Would you like to kiss God"?
Followed, no doubt, by a fine fondling.
Maybe De Marzio came up in the ranks committing the same sins.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Peepee.

it is a sad sad situation that these adults can not control their deviant impulses. if he acted out his thoughts with a minor,that is the worst betrayal to the
family, who raised the child to show great respect to the agent of God.
these sicko's must be excluded from luring the children who are so innocent.
The Church must rid itself of these deviants quickly.
i am really ashamed of these revelations.

Unfortunately the priesthood is a magnet for this kind of sickness.
They can be decent people but they are often a wolf in sheeps clothing.I would never let my kids be an alter server -- just too risky.
The Vatican is stuck in old way thinking - and when you cant shift with the times and the ever growing sentiment of hatred toward the church, they will soon be extinct. They will have no one to blames but themselves.
Same Father who wants nothing to do with the traditional Mass in Latin and all it represents in his Church. Maybe with a new leader we can get a Tridentine Mass going in this beautiful Church, which symbolizes all that is or was healthy in the Church at one time. The abusive nature in which the NO Mass in often presented needs to be balance with young tradtional Priests and the traditional Mass to combat such awful abuses and Priests in parishes. These orthodox Priests are often the watchdog in many parishes. Everyone, please express interest in the Tridentine Mass in Our Lady Queen of Martyrs as a way of healing and bringing a semblance of normality back to the Church. It is what the Holy Father intends with his issuance of Summorum Pontificum a few years back in regards to Holy Mass. Take advantage of this and put the spotlight back on an Orthodox Priesthood.
Thanks mate... just dropped by. Will look for BIKE STN when we get to Seattle. Still in Buenos Airies.
