    At first, Mobile authorities said they did not believe the relationship was sexual in nature, but they’ve since released two letters Crow wrote that suggest otherwise, including a love letter to the teen for Valentine’s Day. In that note, he professed his love for her, claimed they’re married, and said he tried to steal her some flowers from a Virgin Mary statue, “but there were too many people around.” (…) “Before we fell in love,” the priest wrote, “I promised to always care for you and protect you, like a father. I still look at you and see a child, but in the best way imaginable. You are mine - no one else’s, and I will always be a father to you until I die.”

    Holy smokes, the Virgin Mary and fucking Mickey Mouse, this guy couldn’t make it more obvious that he was a pedophile from the very start if he hired an aircraft fleet to explicitely skywrite it.

      Hopefully, a witness will come forward and out him for having done something he shouldn’t before she was 18 so that they can try to have him extradited. He’s a predator and she needs to be removed from his creepy clutches.

        He’s already being shuffled around by the church. Probably to some where that does have extradition treaties. Like the papal enclave.

    What the fuck is a priest doing “hearing confessions” at a high school in the first place? I know, it’s Alabama, but… Hello?

      That’s a normal thing in catholicism, actually. And there is a wall between priest and the community member confessing. A wall with a hole in it to speak through. A hole where you can receive the glory of god through… Wait a minute!

      Basically inevitable wasn’t it.

      Some parts of the US still operate as if it is the 18th century.
