Wino Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 This is the first time I have heard a priest busted for cocaine. I hope it wasn't something he was going to share with the altar boys! PHILADELPHIA – A Roman Catholic priest from northeastern Pennsylvania is facing drug possession charges after police say he was caught buying cocaine in Philadelphia. Philadelphia police said Friday that 50-year-old James B. Shimsky, a priest in the Diocese of Scranton, was arrested last month. Narcotics officers said they saw a man in a Jeep engage in a drug transaction the morning of Jan. 30 on a North Philadelphia street. Police said they stopped the vehicle and found a small amount of cocaine inside. Diocesan spokesman William Genello said Shimsky is pastor of St. John Vianney Parish in Scott Township, Lackawanna County, and has been on a leave of absence since his arrest. A phone listing for Shimsky could not be found and he couldn't be reached for comment. Pa. police: Priest caught buying cocaine - Yahoo!

rucus7 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Maybe this Priest enjoys recreational use. A toot before Mass, to give him the Holy Ghost. Can I get an Amen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a loud "Amen" and, as a bonus, a "Pass the basket cause the Reverend Jimmy needs a new snort of coke!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
