John Laubach regularly had sex with other men, wandered around his neighbourhood with a parrot on his shoulder and met his demise tied to a bedpost with electrical wire while engaging in a little recreational – if unconventional – sex. In his spare time he was studying to become an Episcopal priest. Anyone surprised by this? No? Me neither.
I want to know what happened to the parrot.
From here:
Police hunting new suspect after Chelsea businessman, 57, who ‘liked to bring young men home’ found bound, gagged and dead in his home.
Known in the Chelsea neighbourhood for carrying his parrot Bolo on his shoulder, Laubach was tied to a bedpost with an electrical cord.
He was found by a female friend with his hands and feet bound and duct tape over his mouth in what may have been a sexual tryst gone wrong.
Sources told the New York Post that Mr Laubach often met young men for sex and cops are investigating whether his death was part of a sex game gone wrong.
Unfortunate, New Hampshire was looking for a new bishop.
Of course this is very sad and tragic. And while I’m a firm beliver in personal responsibility, choice, decision, and discipline, I do feel that the general drift, and culture, of the Church – and that largely means its leadership – has overall responsibility. And just who selects ordinands, or possible ordinands?
Rayond Gravel was a male prostitute before becoming an erstwhile Roman catholic priest.
I’m confused – unless Gravel was mentioned in the linked to article, which I haven’t read. Could you elaborate your point a little, please?
