Hi, can I ask your opinions on this
www.newpolandexpress.pl/pdf_copies/newpolandexpress_188_2012-09-21.pdf

It's the first story regarding the priest and School initiation.

To be honest it's made me feel rather sick. I'm not saying that the priest is a paedo or anything but imo he has seriously crossed the boundaries of what is acceptable. Anyway read for yourself.

The question really and my point for posting is to ask AIBU for what I've just said to my Polish husband.
Basically he doesn't find much wrong with it, initiations are very common in Polish schools and while he's never licked cream from a priests knee's he has had to participate in other things.
I have said today if any of our future children are subjected to something like this then I will immediately remove them from the school- end of story. He disagree's and firmly believes it was just for fun.

Deeply disturbing!

Oh no wait it was shaving cream not whipping cream, well that makes it all right then. Shock

UnnamedFP, how could you have missed that first time around?

Birdsgottafly · 22/09/2012 18:53

Just to clarify, my post wasn't saying it was right, it isn't, in a way, if anything, it looks more like a 'cum shot' around their face, than having it in their mouths (sorry for any offence).

AhForFeckSake · 22/09/2012 19:50

Thanks for all the replies guys - I feel I'm justified in what I said to my DH and believe me I 100% meant what I said about any future children we have. I think he feels I'm attacking his religion (I'm protestant and not very religious) but I'm not.

I understand he wants to keep the innocence of his own upbringing - religious education, lovely and friendly priests who had the children's' trust as well as the parents, but he really needs to open his eyes to the fact times have changed (especially the brave souls found the courage to speak out about abuse) We know about the priests who have been accused/charged of abuse but how many more are there that have been swept under the carpet.
Anyway, thanks again.

Oh My God

phantomnamechanger · 22/09/2012 20:04

bloody hell, I had to look again but OMG he does appear to have an erection.

And as for the "the tin of squirty cream is not the stuff on my knee, that was just shaving foam" bit, who's he kidding - and why would that make it any better that they were sniffing his knee not licking it

utterly disturbing.
No idea why people continue to see some roles eg priest/doctor/teacher/nursery worker - as unchallengable

the photo being on the website must have been a mistake? it's made me shudder

MamaMary · 22/09/2012 20:08

Yes, he definitely has an erection.

How disturbing.

The poor girls. :(

thebeesnees79 · 22/09/2012 20:12

absolutely grim is all I can muster.

thebeesnees79 · 22/09/2012 20:14

aibu to want to wash my eyes out with acid after also spotting his hard on.
Shock

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 22/09/2012 20:17

How much more abuse must children take from the Catholic Church??

Shesparkles · 22/09/2012 20:18

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to spot the erection.
This is just beyond words, I'm the very last one to shout about paedos on every corner, but bloody hell- I really don't have the words for this

dottyspotty2 · 22/09/2012 20:47

come out today that australian catholic church has admitted to 600 cases since the 1930's there only the ones known about and covered up

dottyspotty2 · 22/09/2012 20:51

here

FreudiansGoldSlipper · 22/09/2012 20:51

Just revolting. That is abuse, it's sexual and it is abuse of power

RaisinDEtre · 22/09/2012 21:19

ugh just ugh

depraved disgusting behaviour from the priest

poor poor kids

this is recent, yes? the catholic church are beyond reprehensible

rogersmellyonthetelly · 22/09/2012 22:18

Ok so here we have a photo of a child in a submissive position, with a wet t shirt on, a bloke with a cane and a hard on? Which part of this is acceptable or appropriate? As has been proven many times to the detriment of a lot of children, the fact that he is a priest is no guarantee that it's innocent fun. It certainly doesn't look bloody innocent to me, and the most worrying thing is that if this is what is going on above board and being published, what in Gods name is going on behind the scenes with this man? A man who is clearly aroused by a young girl on her knees in front of him should never ever be allowed to have unsupervised contact with young girls! Surely that's just common sense?

hmc · 22/09/2012 22:23

It's sick - no question.

Seenenoughtoknow · 07/10/2012 01:11

That is hideous! And it does look like he has an erection. You are right to be concerned - don't compromise your children's safety if you are concerned in the future...trust your instincts - mine were bloody screaming as I looked at that photo!

Lilka · 07/10/2012 01:24

Jesus Christ Shock

I can't believe they even published those pictures. Use some journalistic common sense (or moral sense) maybe? I feel really sick, revolted and very very angry now, for those poor children

And it's the good old Catholic church again...how surprised I am Hmm

Lilka · 07/10/2012 01:26

In the context of this thread, perhaps 'Jesus Christ' wasn't the best exclamation...that really wasn't intentional btw, I typed without thinking about it

winnybella · 07/10/2012 01:29

I'm not actually sure that he does have an erection as in a few of the photos there is a similar 'bump' around his chest- I think it may be just a zipper/fabric sticking out like that.

Nevertheless, it is absolutely inappropriate and he should be sacked. It won't happen, though.

I'm Polish and tbh have never heard of initiations being that common, certainly not at schools. It does happen in summer camps but it's only between the children and consists of eating bread with jam and mustard etc, certainly nothing like this.

musicalendorphins · 07/10/2012 02:52

AhForFeckSake if your husband sees nothing wrong with a grown man with an erection having children lick his knees, you have some serious problems ahead of you.
I would like to shove that stick where the sun doesn't shine. That man has an erection. What a filthy pig.
I hope the publicity will put a stop to this.

Brycie · 07/10/2012 02:55

I don't know why you don't want to say he's a paedophile, he looks like one to me.
