SAN ANTONIO — A Catholic priest charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy in 2008 in the rural parish where he worked west of here was rearrested last week in Dallas and charged with trying to hire someone to kill his alleged victim.

Father John M. Fiala, 52, was in Dallas County Jail on one count of solicitation to commit murder and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, officials said. A judge set bail at $700,000. The sexual assault charges were part of indictments handed up last week in Howard County, which brought to six the number of charges Fiala faces that involve the boy, who was 16 at the time of the alleged offenses.

The Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety troopers arrested Fiala on Thursday after he negotiated a murder arrangement with an undercover officer at his residence in Garland, DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said. A DPS investigation began Nov. 11, when a neighbor of Fiala tipped off Edwards County Sheriff Don Letsinger.

"I received a call from an unnamed informant who was having problems with the way Fiala was acting," the sheriff said. The neighbor "had been solicited (to commit the murder) himself, and he didn't want anything to do with that," Letsinger said. Fiala reportedly offered the neighbor $5,000 to kill the teen, the sheriff said.

- A priest offered a neighbor $5,000 to commit murder??? And here I thought priests lived under a vow of poverty?!?! Wherever could a priest get that kind of money???

Oh. Right.

1. I suggest a plea of temporary insanity caused by

condoms suddenly being OK.

3. But he assaulted him for two years prior....

...to Bennie's condom okey-dokey. Not to mention using the gun to threaten him, his family and his girlfriend. And remember, this is Texas.

- I don't think they do too many insanity pleas in Texas because it's so hard to tell from their normal behavior.






j/k Texas! Before I start being inundated.....;)

2. Diocesan priests have a vow of...

chastity, not poverty.
They can still have money and own goods.

It's usually specific ordered clergy who live a vow of poverty.

4. Then.....

...http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19%3A21-23&version=NIV">Matthew 19:21-23 doesn't apply to Diocesan priests? Not to mention http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2019:17-18&version=NIV">Matthew 19:17-18 or http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+16%3A24-28&version=NIV">Matthew 16:24-28.....

- So what you're saying is, Catholic priests from this order don't have to follow the bible. Interesting.....

5. Diocesan priests

don't belong to an order. Plus, the quote is: "“Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven." Getting a salary and being provided a place to live doesn't mean riches. Nor does the quote say it is impossible for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Either way, I don't think Diocesan priests aren't following the Bible because they are provided with a salary.

Regardless, rape and murder are problematic. (She says sardonically.)

This particular priest is a murderous and depraved thug. He deserves to go to jail and be defrocked.
