"For Pope and Dope"

Such possibly could have been the ordination vow of Norton, Ohio Roman priest Richard Arko. The Cleveland, Ohio 'Plain Dealer,' in a Jan 23 article titled, "Norton Priest Arrested on Drug Charges," reported that Arko:

"Has been charged with cultivating marijuana after police found 35 plants in the closet of a spare bedroom of the rectory next to his church...Jensen Powell, an unemployed man living in the home with Arko, was charged with trafficking marijuana."

It's amazing what's being found in the "closets" of Roman priests these days! The article also said:

"officers found the plants - ranging from 6 inches to 4 feet tall - in the closet, along with grow lights, air purifiers, and books on how to grow the plants."

One has to wonder - if Arko has the "power" to say a few magic words and turn wafers into Christ, why didn't he employ his sorcery in commanding the marijuana plants to turn themselves into tomato plants?

This is yet another episode in the unending saga of Roman priestly wickedness. May the Holy Spirit use this latest story to grant more Catholics repentance from Romanism, and bless them with saving faith in Christ ALONE.
