A doctor friend of mine was tops in his class; smart as hell, never seemed to have to study, breezed through the toughest material. Went into psychiatry and hired onto a prestigious medical center.
Then his helpful hypomania became a full bipolar disorder, and he became, in clinical terms, nuts. One night he was fending off the clerks in a grocery store with a mop, telling them he owned the place, and they had better get out. He had an affair with his student. He talked like this priest; crazy stuff. Quit (or was fired), divorced, never heard from again.
"A Bay State priest accused of stalking late-night talk-show host Conan O’Brien traveled to Italy and California in an obsessive mission to confront the comic at every turn, police sources say."
Originally I was going to make a snarky comment that a nun needs to wrap him across the knuckles with her ruler, but after reading the article, this man needs some serious help.

What a shitty disease.
Something's missing here. He was only ordained 6 years ago [around age 40]. What was he doing from age 21-40?

Your tithe dollars hard at work.
