    I somehow read child porn but it’s just regular porn.

    Well yeah, I bet that’s true of most big churches that have staff.

        My thought as well. The porn industry is full of exploitation and I don’t support it in that form though. Maybe we should start manufacturing inflatable alter boys for the clergy.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    According to German media reports emerging early on Friday morning, staff members and clergy in the Archdiocese of Cologne made “mass attempts to access porn websites” on church-supplied computers.

    The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper, which broke the story, reported that the diocese leadership was informed as early as July 2022 about corresponding activities by 15 employees.

    Such activities, even if they are not punishable under either state or church law, are not permitted as part of the labor agreement with the archdiocese, which is located in western Germany.

    Within that one-month period, there were around “1,000 access attempts to pages that were blocked by a protective filter because of questionable, undesirable content and potential threats to IT security,” the paper reported.

    In June this year, the list came to light again after police raided an employee of the archdiocese who was suspected of having child abuse material.

    According to the report, although there were no indications that the material viewed on church computers was illegal, archdiocese officials turned over the information to Cologne investigators.
