Yep. A person walked up and peered through a window and spotted the individuals before making a nonconsensual video of the consensual act makes me think that a good lawyer could get the charges dismissed.
Sanction or termination? Yes. Arrest? No.

Yep. The way I parse the report is that the cops didn’t arrest the priest for an unauthorized use of someone else’s building; they arrested him for “obscene” acts visible to a peeping tom.

I don’t want to be cast as an apologist for the Catholic church or any other religion.
I was addressing the point raised by @cepheus42 about the two women being the real problem.
@subextraordinaire To be clear - In a similar situation involving the arrest of an office worker or a fast food employee for consensual sex acts in a workplace, some kind of sanction would be expected from the employer.

Ah, but then God would get them re-instated.
Granted, they’d be dismissed again after Jesus confiscates the video evidence for ”research purposes” and then refuses to come back out of his room.

At least they were consenting (probably paid) adults!

Good ole nola!
One of the women is a pornographic actress that came to town for this and was told by the pastor that the point was to defile the church.

How long before it turns out that the random passerby is a peeper? (Check the neighborhood security cameras to see how long he was watching before calling the police.)

What else do you think that basket is for?

The implied rest of the comment was that a fast food or office employee would be facing sanctions in both situations, whereas the catholic priest would not. The fast food and office employers would regard both situations as bad, with the under-aged one being worse, where catholic church regards the adult situation as bad, and the under-aged one as business as usual.
To the catholic church, the adult status of the women (and getting caught of course) was the problem. That is why to the rest of the world, the catholic church’s attitude is the problem.

Sacrilegious? That was an immaculate conception!

There’s the name of the movie. The Christian term for an illegitimate child.

The late governor and U.S. senator Huey Long of Louisiana said it best: “The only way I can lose is if they find me in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.”
