Frank Hovis Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 "You've sinned? Rubbish, you're a total lightweight." When asked which embassy would grant him diplomatic immunity, the Anglican priest said "the Vatican" and swore at officers. Jones, has previous convictions for a bomb hoax, affray, possession of cannabis, fraud, and criminal damage, now faces formal church disciplinary proceedings. His lawyer, Dominic Hockley, told the court that Jones had consumed about 53 units of alcohol before the incident and was seeking help to deal with alcoholism. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36445522 Somehow I feel that the entrance standards for the ministry are no longer what they were in the 1950s.

They probably just don't attract the same quality of applicant since the cream of the perks package became taboo and sometimes even arrestable.

Quite, no self respecting member of the clergy would have lost self control after a mere 26 pints of beer back in the 50s. These newbies are total light weights!
