Hmmm. It's not that I expect everyone to be models of nobility every instant of every day, but when your title is "Reverend" and it's part of your name, you should refrain from pelvis-on-pelvis activity in public if you expect anyone to find you reverend.

Doin' the loose booty while publicly celebrating the life of a child molester isn't engendering my "adoring awed respect" for you, Al.
