32 Years In A Monsetery Can Do That To You

From the Chicago Tribune:
A judge set bail today at $50,000 for a long-time Benedictine monk accused of trying to abduct a 14-year-old girl in far north suburban Antioch this week.
Thomas M. Chmura, 57, of the 12600 block of 224th Avenue in Benet Lake, Wis., appeared in Lake County court today in Waukegan where a judge set the $50,000 bail and ordered him to have no contact with anyone under the age of 17, according to a statement from Antioch police.
Chmura was charged with one count of felony attempted child abduction and one count of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, according to the statement.
 Chmura said he is a monk and has been living at the Benedictine Monks, St. Benedict's Abbey, in Benet Lake for the past 32 years, the statement said.
Barbara Girton of St. Benedict’s Abbey said this afternoon she was unaware that Chmura had been arrested and they’d been searching “all over’’ for him.
Girton said they knew their car was missing and they were going to be contacting the Abbot, who oversees the abbey, to let him know about the incident.
When asked about Chmura, Girton said: “He’s a very nice person; this is completely out of context. This doesn’t sound like him.’’  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-benedictine-monk-accused-of-attempted-child-abduction-20130427,0,6336364.story
I kind of feel sorry for the guy because he has led a very sheltered life and when this goes national, he probably won't be able to handle it.
But of course, he should not have done what he did.
