From the Detroit Free Press: The pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn was suspended Monday
after the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit learned he had been arrested
on suspicion of drunken driving -- in the nude.
The archdiocese issued a statement Tuesday saying the Rev. Peter Petroske, 57, had been placed on administrative leave.
A
knowledgeable city source told the Free Press that Petroske was
arrested early Friday about a block from the church on Michigan Avenue
in Dearborn, and had a laptop computer with him in the vehicle....
The archdiocese statement said that when Petroske was arrested, he
was alone in his vehicle and "was charged with driving under the
influence of alcohol and indecent exposure. Archdiocesan officials met
with parish staff on Monday."
Archdiocese spokesman Joe Kohn said
the leave is indefinite. He said he could not discuss the laptop but
confirmed that Petroske was not dressed at the time of the arrest. http://www.freep.com/article/20120808/NEWS02/308080064/Pastor-in-Dearborn-suspended-after-arrest-on-suspicion-of-drunken-driving-in-the-nude?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s
And the understatement of the year:
"He has always been able to bring new insight," and Petroske "finds some
extra insight that you hadn't considered before," Nikodem said.
I bet he does.
Merry Christmas!
