DEARBORN PRIEST: Drunk and Driving Naked...



DIOCESE SUSPENDS ARRESTED PRIEST; Dearborn pastor charged with DUI, obscene conduct.

This is a headline that is bound to make you read on especially when it is in a nearby area such as Dearborn.

PRIEST TOLD HE WAS HOT - LIKES TO DRIVE NAKED (headline on day two).

It seems the Reverend Peter Petroske (57) who is pastor at Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn was stopped by local police after a motorist called 911 to report a naked driver at 11PM on Telegraph Road near Michigan Avenue.

He was drunk and naked and told police he was embarrassed.

Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn has a school and 1,900 member families and he is their leader.

I can understand the drinking but I really can’t understand the driving naked part. If he was that hot he should have turned on the A/C; obviously there is something else at play here.

Priests are human and have problems like other humans do but I think priests are under more pressure and stress because they cannot live like other humans and in the end, some just snap.

The lives of priests are abnormal and my point is that their lives do not have to be abnormal if the Vatican would just allow priests to lead normal lives by allowing them to marry and have families.

I am speculating of course as to what made the pastor behave in this very aberrant manner but I think I am not far from the truth here.

I wonder how many priests reflect on their lives especially those in their 50s, contemplating their final years in this abnormal environment. Many just suffer quietly but some maybe not so quietly as in the case of Father Petroske…
