After reports of a Catholic priest having a sex party with a call boy in a Catholic parish in Poland, the Vatican has accepted the resignation of the bishop in charge. The Pope has accepted the resignation of Bishop Grzegorz Kaszak, the Vatican announced on Tuesday. No reasons were given. Polish media had previously reported on several scandals in the southern Polish diocese of Sosnowiec.
In September, a clergyman ordered a male prostitute to hold a sex party. This became known because the man lost consciousness and the emergency doctor had to come.
The diocese then commented on this on its website: “Father Tomasz Z. and two other non-clergy are guilty of a serious violation of moral norms, which the church strongly condemns,” it said. The incident upset many believers and rightly caused public outrage.
Bishop Kaszak himself informed the parishioners of his resignation and asked them to forgive him for his “human weaknesses.” The diocese had previously made headlines because the head of the seminary was noticed having sex in a club for homosexuals. In another case, a 46-year-old priest is said to have killed a deacon 20 years his junior and then thrown himself in front of a train.
