ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE BUT MYSECRET LOVE’S NOT SECRET ANYMORE

Posted on March 16, 2013 by Jonathan

A Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a seventeen year old girl has been secretly married for 13 years, a stunned court heard. William Finnegan, 59, broke his vows by marrying one of his parishioners in a civil ceremony abroad and then continued to do his job. ‘Father Bill’ went home to his wife Beverley Dawson, 48, after finishing his duties every Sunday and returned to his parish base 20 miles away in Bradford every Tuesday.

Well, the new Bishop of Rome has his work cut out for him in all sorts of ways, doesn’t he?

Married 13 years before he turned to 17 year old? Why, I believe he beat the Husband Average!

[OK, this story isn’t funny. Justice for that girl.]

Enforced celibacy really works well, don’t you think?

The Saint Laika online Christian community is the sole (soul) ministry of the Reverend Jonathan Hagger and his only source of income. It is always a struggle paying for the upkeep of the Saint Laika website and Facebook page as well as having to find the money for living expenses. Jonathan relies on the donations of the friends of Saint Laika's who donate generously (some of them every month) to keep him afloat. At the moment (December 2015) he makes do on about £500 a month. He would love to double this so that he does not have to worry about unexpected bills and the like. Please consider supporting Jonathan's ministry either by making a one off donation when you can afford to or committing to a monthly subscription of your own choosing. You can also help by buying your Amazon products through the widgets below this post. It costs you no extra and Jonathan gets a reasonable commission on the value of your purchases. Thank you.
