Catholic Priest Seeks Massage With Happy Ending

A couple of years ago a priest named Bernard McGarty couldn't resist taking a sly dig at atheists. In an article he wrote for the La Crosse Tribune he asked:

What if La Crosse had been settled exclusively by atheists? What would La Crosse be like today?

He came up quite a list:

• All of the outdoor lighting of private homes in the city and countryside would be dark
• The symphony would not have a theater with perfect acoustics
• Any of the religious music of Mendelssohn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Bizet and Verdi would be offensive to atheist ears.
• If all citizens were atheist, there would be no Christmas presents
• No Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center
• No Mayo Clinic Health System-Franciscan Healthcare
• No Viterbo University
• No Luther High School
• No Aquinas High School
• No Lutheran or Catholic Social Service
• No YWCA
• No YMCA

He came up with much more than that, and concluded by asking the question:

Are atheists getting a free ride on we believers?

At the time we atheists were laughing because Bernard McGarty provided a list of composers whose music (he said) the non-believers would find offensive because those composers were Christians. But he included Verdi on the list - and Verdi was famously atheistic. He resisted all attempts by family members who tried to convert him or convince him to regard himself as an agnostic rather than an atheist.

Giuseppe Verdi: 
Translate his name into English and you've got "Joe Green"

Now, two years later, Bernard McGarty has appeared in another La Crosse Tribune article; this time as a sexual pervert! He popped into the local massage parlor and late in the proceedings he lifted the towel from his crutch and asked the woman to play with his cock.

He was fined $250.

He called the masseuse a bitch.
