PadreSJ is expected to spend time caring for the poor. He will console those in need. He will provide comfort to those who find themselves in dire straits. He will shelter those without homes. He will offer care to those who have no one to look out for them.
On second thought, he will continue using the money donated to the church by hardworking Catholics to supply slave labor to a man who hates Catholicism. A man who needs more commandments from god to make it a challenge to violate all ten decrees on a daily basis.
I used to like Padre back when he first started at TWIT. Then again, I used to like Leo too…
It seems that since he’s become the de facto #2 around TWIT after everyone else flew the coup he’s gotten darker.
Watching him now is like watching some overpaid, overfed hipster who often acts like a teenage girl on camera.
I’m having a lot of trouble finding his piety. Seems like he’s just milking the collar for all its worth. Without it he’d be lucky to have a YouTube channel and a job flipping burgers (most of which he’d probably eat)
Speaking of that, since when does obesity signify religious humility? A fat priest ministering to homeless kids just seems wrong.

And what is pious about pitching commercial goods while wearing clerical garb? Is the Catholic Church implicitly endorsing that same product? Do Mr. Laporte’s sponsors have God on their side?
Just askin’ and best regards

He lives with crankyhippo. Isn’t having a roommate in your forties kind of pious?

I join you in finding him doing commercials a very strange thing

How is he so fucking fat anyway? Isn’t anyone concerned about his heart giving in? Guy isn’t merely overweight…

will he help the hungry by carving off large chunks of his fat and then melting that down into soap then designing each bar of soap in the vain of the twit logo so that CeHo can then sell the bars of soap to fans for $5 a bar ???…. funneling $4.50 of each bar into her and Soup’s Laycation fund while only donating $.50 of each bar to sally struthers who then takes $.40 per bar for herself while donating the remaining $.10. Sure, good fucking job everybody.

The only Poor Padre helps is fattening is waste line.

I’ve been in enterprise IT for close to 40 years. When TWiET started, I emailed over there to offer some real business perspective to Tech. Got told to pretty much fuck off. And the show ended up exactly like I thought it would. 80 percent useless bullshit and 20 percent applicable to business. The swamp guy is kinda on the business page, but he sounds like a typical sales guy that I’ve kicked out of the office about a 1000 times. And I’ve always considered the wearing of the priest garb as an attention grab. It offered NOTHING. Sort of like my police officer friend wearing his swat gear to teach excel at a night class.

The swamp guy has the fattest tongue I’ve ever seen.

Can someone explain to a non Catholic: Is Padre assigned to a Parish? Why does the Church allow Padre to work at TWIT? How did Padre “even” get on TWIT? Exactly what does Padre do for the Catholic Church?
Just something I’ve wondered since he showed up at TWIT.

“Since 2009, Robert has been the National Director of Vocation Promotion for The Jesuit Conference.” Before that he was a competitive Twinkle eater.
He wears his frock almost always because it’s a meaningless costume to give him some sort of air of authority. What other profession wears their uniform 24/7? Not cops, nurses, army personnel… dictators wear their garb ’round the clock though.

Did Padre contact TWIT and offer his services out of the blue? Or did someone at TWIT contact him?

Padre started out in the chat room, TWiT got to know him via chat. If I remember right Jammer B started out in chat then moved over to the cottage. Several other present employees started in chat, I don’t frequent chat, so not exactly up on the details.

The little that Leo has talked about the relationship between TWiT and the Jesuit Conference is that the Padre is employed by the Jesuit’s and is assigned to the Shit House. This arrangement has the Lisa slit of approval …no withholding or workers comp taxes, the Jesuits pay these.

Padre reminds me of that woman who insisted on wearing her Starfleet “uniform” during jury duty or some such. Or Cliff Claven.
