Hypocrite Alert: Paraguayan President Admits to Fathering Child While Bishop

Why is that those who preach chastity and abstinance and purity are the ones who are least likely to practice it – even when their profession supposedly requires it? Take the case of none other than Fernando Lugo, President of Paraguay, who

…has publicly recognized the paternity of a child of nearly 2 years, after last Wednesday he was presented with a paternity suit. The child was conceived when Lugo was still a bishop, though he left the order in December 2006 to pursue the presidency, which he won last year.

“It is true that there was a relationship with Viviana Carrillo (mother of the child)”, said Lugo, recognizing the paternity of the child in a message to citizens in which he assured them that he “assumes all responsibilities that could come from that fact.”

26 year-old Carrillo “categorically denies” having filed the suit, even though she allegedly signed the document. Paraguay’s La Nación newspaper reports today that Carrillo’s family has left the town where they leave because of death threats.

The video above shows his confession at around 4:30. Why is this dude still wearing a priest outfit when he’s no longer a priest? What a hypocrite.
