Priest busted for selling drugs at church!!! A High priest?

A Catholic priest on the University of Illinois campus has been charged with selling cocaine from his church office and rectory.

The Reverend Christopher Layden pleaded not guilty Thursday to two counts of delivery of less than 1 gram of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church and one count of possession with intent to deliver 1 to 15 grams of cocaine near a church.

The 33-year-old was arrested Wednesday at St. John’s Catholic Newman Center after investigators found 3 grams of cocaine and drug paraphernalia while searching his home and office. His bond was set at $50,000.

The arrest followed a two-week police investigation of local drug sales, according to CBS affiliate WMDB-TV

The Catholic Diocese of Peoria says it has suspended Layden.

His attorney, Mark D. Lipton, did not immediately respond to an after hours message seeking comment. in Peoria.

  1. Tony,
    I am quite sure, that the Portuguese church used the drug Ayahuasca in Fatima.
    This drug provokes Entheogen Fantasies.
    And this is what happened on 13.10.1917 to the 3 little children and many others.

  2. Thanks for your comment, Ralf! I linked to this article mainly because it was hilarious and not because a priest uses or sells drugs!

    As for the mind-expanding Ayahuasca and Fatima, I'm not so sure about that... I need to look it up...
