It’s become a bit of a trope these days: a gay priest being caught in the act of coitus, and the ensuing scandal. What makes the case of 60 year old Father Bernard unique is that his 69 year old partner, identified as Andrew Wagstaff, died during their little tryst, and police are now investigating.

The two were in Belgium in anticipation of Pope Francis paying a visit. Apparently, this is their version of Woodstock, and so for good measure, the two took a bunch of pills, and shagged like bunnies:

The two men had used ecstasy and poppers while having sex together, police said, leading Wagstaff to feel unwell during the early morning hours of Friday, September 27. His sexual partner, identified in the media as Father Bernard, called the police after Wagstaff fell unconscious and couldn’t be resuscitated.

Now his church doesn’t know what to do with him, and the police are investigating to make sure there were no signs of foul play. Honestly, Bernard should just consider a different line of work. When you enjoy designer drugs and gay sex, the clergy is not a place for you. You’re better off being a bouncer at a gay bar by the sounds of things. Sure, the man is 60, but it’s never to late to change!
