Regarding this last posting (Chestnut Hill College, St. George, Blue Bell, PA), which looks, on the surface, like good news: It’s a shame that Philadelphia has made this man into a “local gay icon.” I would prefer we be represented by someone of nobler spirit. This is the guy whose tag line is “Hey, I don’t look gay, and I don’t act gay.” (This is good?) His other tag line is less well-known” “Remember, you can’t con a con man.”
Recently, on another LGBT blog, was found a posting from “Thomas Q.,” who has apparently known this “icon” for a few more years than the rest of us:
Thomas Q says: Since Philly.com won’t post my comments about this story, I was wondering whether Ms. P [the Daily News reporter] will answer a couple of questions I have about her involvement with Jim St. George:
1. When did you find out that he is a convicted felon?
2. When did you find out that he was fired by Albert Einstein for impersonating a Roman Catholic priest?
3. When did you find out that he was fired by Lehigh Valley Hospital for impersonating a Roman Catholic priest?
4. When did you find out that your column about St. George “concelebrating” the Cassidy Mass with the “permission” of Rigali was predicated on a complete and utter lie?
5. When did you find out that Jim St. George stole over a million dollars from people who invested in his casket business?
6. When did you find out that he was dishonorably discharged from the Navy?
7. Ask him about why he was expelled from the Episcopal seminary (Virginia Theological). It involves forgery….Or did you know that back story already? It’s quite something…
8. Do you know about all of his bankruptcies?
9. What is it like to be played by a 21st century version of a snake oil salesman?
You see … the reason he “settled” with CHC is that he didn’t want to answer questions about these things…for good reason.

What is the so-called “Old Catholic Church” putting in collars these days?
