Ohio church: No kissing, tickling allowed
1 hour, 26 minutes ago

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children.

The newest version of the archdiocese's Decree on Child Protection also prohibits bear hugs, lap-sitting and piggyback rides.

But it says priests may still shake children's hands, pat them on the back and give high-fives.

Victim advocates who have criticized the Roman Catholic archdiocese for its handling of abuse cases say they support the new measures as a step toward better protection of children.

The Cincinnati archdiocese says it updates the rules every five years. The latest version, issued last week, also mandates background checks for contractors working with children.

Who doesn't like a little wrestle with their local priest?

We used to take it really serious and get all oiled up when I was a kid.

Why do I get the impression that for the first time you're actually being truthful and serious?

Because you want it to be true, because the sight of a pristine specimen like myself wrestling oiled up gets you wet.

Ya, but neither tears of laughter, nor tears of horror really count.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.     You'd have to post up a pic for me to decide which it is.
