Monsignor Eugene Clark
There's a saying religious folks use to keep each other from getting too high and mighty. In fact, Jesus first said it to a group of townsfolk all hot to stone a woman accused of adultery. When Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," the mob backed off. It's one of the many teachings of Jesus that right-wingers who call themselves Christian seem to frequently, and conveniently, forget.
This week's Creep, and Division I Stone Casting Champ, is Monsignor Eugene Clark, former rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Clark has made a career out of flinging stones with one hand while, well, banging his secretary with the other (metaphorically of course). But hey, when you're a Catholic Priest, you live by rules which can be summed up in layman's terms using MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This."
