Certainly he is not a monk and therefore there is no such vow as far as I know. So are all priests public persons? Let him eat and enjoy. Who knows if the meal was paid by himself after all? It’s not our business.

In reply to Tom Double Thumb. This obese and wealthy priest is a fine example of hypocrisy like his brother John.

In reply to Tom Double Thumb.

I fully agree that celebrating that Mass and speaking the way he did he opened himself to criticism and I did criticize him for it.

However, that error in his position as a priest does not make all his other actions targets for criticism.

Who of us can look back and not find at least one occasion which fills us with regret even as the years pass by?

Fr George has no public office and is not on the public payroll. He has a right to his privacy and like every other common citizen has a right to go to lunch whenever and wherever he wishes.

As a priest he can only be criticized if he does what is a scandal to his flock and brings his public profession into disrepute.

Eating in a restaurant, whatever the cost, is not a scandal.

Besides, the sins of the fathers (and brothers and sisters) are not passed on to every other member of the family.

I hope we are not making a hobby of spying on and mocking private citizens now.

[Daphne – He is not a private citizen, Tom. He is a priest. Priests are by definition public persons. The fact that they are public persons alone does not make them ‘people to be spied on’, but if they do something that people wish to discuss, well then. Gorg Dalli, unfortunately, put himself in the news again when he celebrated that infamous ‘thanksgiving mass’ when Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit decided to drop the case against his brother John.]

In reply to Peppa. Thanks for that seemingly insignificant detail, Peppa. But actually it is almost like having a new pair of eyes when putting things into perspective with this fundamental 'tidbit' in the equation.

Dun Gorg didn t pay the 120 euros as he was a guest, and while he was there he changed the water into wine..because you know it runs in their blood. His brother changes water into whisky.

In reply to Mike. The food falls on his lap, where he picks it up and shoves it into his mouth. He can't get his knees under the table. Look at that napkin.
