My Current Readings #5

Wcco.com offers a variety of news, including religious news. November 1st this was brought up.  "New Trial Set For Convicted Priest," written by The Associated Press. John Bussmann is a priest that has been convicted previous to his job now but in Hennepin County in 2005 a third degree criminal sexual conduct for his sexual relationships with two different women in his congregation. Now he is convicted of sexually abusing women that he was supposed to just be counseling. To me, this entire sexual convictions and such seem absolutely out of the question that they should not be tolerated. This man is a priest and the actions he is making i do not see anything even remotely related to God or his religion in that. This man needs to not be allowed to be a leader of a church, i only say this because not only one conviction did he have, but two. Religions play an entirely large role in society and within that religion there is rules, rules of which not only the followers of that religion have to follow, but also the one's leading and proclaiming it.
