    So what? This is one of the least problematic things I’ve heard about a church. Maybe internet porn will save a bunch of altar and choir boys.

    I somehow read child porn but it’s just regular porn.

    Well yeah, I bet that’s true of most big churches that have staff.

      “Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I’ve masturbated 9 1/2 times since my last confession.”

      “And a half?”

      “Well, it’s 10 times, now.”

    I am not surprised, when I worked for a hardware company (late 90’s), the repair techs would fight over laptops that came in from churches because they always had the best porn.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    According to German media reports emerging early on Friday morning, staff members and clergy in the Archdiocese of Cologne made “mass attempts to access porn websites” on church-supplied computers.

    The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper, which broke the story, reported that the diocese leadership was informed as early as July 2022 about corresponding activities by 15 employees.

    Such activities, even if they are not punishable under either state or church law, are not permitted as part of the labor agreement with the archdiocese, which is located in western Germany.

    Within that one-month period, there were around “1,000 access attempts to pages that were blocked by a protective filter because of questionable, undesirable content and potential threats to IT security,” the paper reported.

    In June this year, the list came to light again after police raided an employee of the archdiocese who was suspected of having child abuse material.

    According to the report, although there were no indications that the material viewed on church computers was illegal, archdiocese officials turned over the information to Cologne investigators.


    The original article contains 327 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 49%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Why would you watch it on something your employer can see? At least be safe and do it on your phone.

      I can’t speak for the church staff, but personally it’s just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.

      Also, my employer isn’t allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don’t even disable the VPN to my office for it.

    Hopefully that’ll teach them to mind their own business instead of surveiling people’s activity.

      It’s the thrill of wondering whether today’s the day you’ll forget to mute the church PA system hooked up to your computer before the actors/actresses start praising the Lord and speaking in tongues.

    Why not? As long as it’s not too much, let them. I don’t see the problem, as long as it’s tasteful catholic porn and not that protestant-lutheranian trash.
