O'Byrne, Oh Brother (or is it "father"?)

Today's Metro section of the New York Times has an article about Charles O'Byrne, one of new-New York Governor David Paterson's closest aides. In the article, we find out he is a Kennedy family confidant, a former speechwriter for Howard Dean, openly gay, and, oh yeah, until 2002, a Roman Catholic Priest in the Society of Jesus.

That article was very depressing. I need to go put on my makeup (God abhors a bare face), comb my hair, and say some prayers for that poor man.

Fr. J,
Can you imagine the harm that was caused by this man as a priest? He was kicked out of the diocisan seminary than picked up into the Jesuit system. I have linked his Playboy magazine interview on my post, it is absolutely grotesque. This guy is now a public servant?

Gee was the poor man trying to hit very low point he could find?

"...openly gay..."

The eyebrows were a bit of a give away.
