SORRY, MR. KASHATUS. THAT DOESN'T COUNT. BING WASN'T A REAL PRIEST. HE JUST PLAYED ONE IN THE MOVIES. THE REAL ONES ARE ALL BAD.

Some good news to report. Not all priests are bad

By WILLIAM C. KASHATUS

When I was 14 years old I saw Bing Crosby portray Father Charles O'Malley, a fictional inner-city priest, in the 1944 movie, "Going My Way." O'Malley befriended at-risk kids, appealing to their love of sports and popular music. In one, especially gripping scene, after catching some local gang members stealing, he forgave them and let bygones be bygones by taking them to a baseball game.
