SO HE'S BEEN NAMED ...

... but is he guilty? Is this another case of moral failure amongst clergy leadership or is this another setup by a disgruntled spouse?

A Roman Catholic monsignor named in court papers as "the other man" in a divorce case resigned Thursday as rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the New York archdiocese said.

Cardinal Edward Egan accepted Msgr. Eugene Clark's resignation from the key church position despite the 79-year-old Clark's denials that he has been carrying on an affair with his 46-year-old private secretary, the church said.

The accuser, the husband in the divorce proceeding, claims to have video evidence of the infidelity.

Clark has been rector of St. Patrick's in midtown Manhattan since 2001 ...

A statement from St. Patrick's said ...

He offered his resignation for the good of Saint Patrick's and the Archdiocese.

Now let me get this straight, he's been Rector since 2001, that's an even four years. The trysts were supposed to have occurred during this time, that's from his 75th year to his 79th year ... wow! If it's true, his off and on celibacy hasn't diminished his virility.

I don't think it's true ... sounds like a convenient excuse for divorce.
