"World
Meeting of Families Philadelphia 2015" flashing on and off on their webpage and no
pics of men’s penises from the church’s men room. Typical Catholic church in
America?
A Catholic
priest is under investigation after a parishioner found a camera hidden in the
men’s restroom at his church. The camera disappeared after being reported to
the priest – and it is still missing.
The device
was found in April by a 15-year-old boy who noticed an electrical outlet in an
odd place – at waist height next to the toilet in a bathroom near the church
altar. He pulled out what appeared to be a camera and brought it to Father
Ysrael Bien, who assured the boy and his parents that police would be called
immediately, the Oregonian reports.
At this
point, the parents became suspicious. The teen’s father emailed the priest and
church deacon asking for the police report. If Bien didn’t have it, he’d ask
the police department for a copy. This is when Bien’s story fell apart.
He admitted
he had not called police because he was afraid of the consequences once he
realized the camera had gone missing, according to the Oregonian.
Search
warrants were served at the church, on Bien’s home, car and computers, the
paper reports. He has been placed on leave by the Archdiocese of Portland.
