Bluntly put, I am not sure if this borders on sensationalism or not. Recently, a colleague of mine decided to host a particular news video about a church hosting a sex addicts anonymous meeting, complete with pedophiles and a very close proximity to children. The presentation of the corresponding news article and video gave me the impression of sensationalism. Then again, this was cable news channel. This is not to say that I do not recognize the seriousness of the issue.

I hope everyone is aware of the ‘&fmt=18’ trick…
Why oh why did he call it “pedos sappin my church”? The title is not even funny, it is just outright stupid.

Too Close for Comfort
(06/02/09) NEW ROCHELLE - A special investigation by News 12 Westchester revealed that a New Rochelle church has been allowing a group of sex addicts to hold meetings side-by-side with hundreds of children.
The probe began in November 2008 after News 12 received several anonymous complaints from parishioners of the Holy Family Church.
Every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m., dozens of children are dropped off at the Catholic church on Clove Road to take part in a weekly basketball game. Just steps away from the church gymnasium, people suffering from various sex addictions are gathering to battle their demons on the same day and time.
The monthly four-hour gathering attracts a diverse crowd, including pornography addicts and pedophiles who cross paths with children as they file into the gymnasium.
When confronted about the sex addict meetings, Monsignor John Woolsey, the associate pastor of the Holy Family Church, denied any knowledge of the gatherings.
"This is the first I've ever heard of it," Woolsey said. "I'm not in charge of scheduling."
Monsignor Ferdinando Berardi, the pastor of the Holy Family Church, was not available for comment.
