Colorado Priest Faces Charges After Nude Jog at High School Track

Thursday , August 09, 2007

FREDERICK, Colo. —

A Catholic priest faces an indecent exposure charge after police said he went jogging in the nude about an hour before sunrise.

The Rev. Robert Whipkey told officers he had been running naked at a high school track and didn't think anyone would be around at that time of day, a police report said.

He told officers he sweats profusely if he wears clothing while jogging. "I know what I did was wrong," he said in the report.

Whipkey did not return phone messages. His attorney, Doug Tisdale, told the Longmont Times-Call that Whipkey had no comment.

Whipkey, 53, was arrested June 22 in this small town about 20 miles north of Denver. An officer said he saw a naked man walking down the street at 4:35 a.m. The U.S. Naval Observatory Web site said sunrise that day in Frederick was 5:31 a.m.

The officer said when he shined his flashlight at the man, he covered himself with a piece of clothing he was carrying.

The Archdiocese of Denver said it takes the incident seriously but is awaiting the outcome of the case. Whipkey, who also officiates at parishes in the nearby towns of Mead and Erie, remains an active priest.

If convicted of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, he would have to register as a sex offender, prosecutors said.

I don't think I would like that much freedom down there while running. That might chafe.

Yeah, seems like the...uhh..."bouncing" could get painful.

Yep. Gotta secure the cargo in the hold.

No smack against Catholics (a ton in my family), but I think one of the hardest jobs in America today is the public relations office of the Catholic Church. Seems like there's a news item every week about some priest pulling goofy stuff like this.

Well, when they preach to the congregation that no one can get to God but through them, I could imagine that puts the in a bit of a power trip...

Actually, I was alluding to the fact that Catholic priests are the most overworked and isolated people on the planet--which just invites crackups like this. I know a guy who became a Catholic priest. Straight out of seminary, he was thrown into a parish with 2000 families. All he had time to do was marry, bury, and baptize. He burned out after five years, and became an Episcopalian priest.

Well, OK, maybe that too

In fact, this is a great argument why Catholic priests should marry. Because no wife on the planet would allow her husband to go out for some nekked jogging at the high school track.

Being a Catholic priest is kind of like being in a celibate fraternity. They all dress alike, the only vice allowed is drinking, and they keep pulling stunts like this.
