Too bloody right I'm ageist-the older the better.
Be assured, O Mousethief,that the average priest's housekeeper (and God knows they are few and far between these days) is a widow of impeccable character who is not going to bother with after-hours clerical fumblings! Now how do I know?-from the horse's mouth (various geriatric aunties and whatnot).
cheers,

The problem is that she played the organ to well and that is why he was duped.

I don't understand this priest's contention he was "duped" into sexual intercourse. It's like saying he was "duped" into dancing ballet.
Now, I *do* have several theories that might explain his claim, in order to make things more clear, at least to me:
(We must assume this vicar knew nothing of sexual intercourse.)
1) HYGIENE: He was eating tacos in the nude and dripped Cholula sauce on his willy and his housekeeper offered to clean it off for him. (However, this contradicts Pyx_e's wonderful "hot sauce as a sexual aid" experience in T'n'T, so perhaps not.)
2) RELIEF: His housekeeper complained of itching in a highly sensitive area and asserted that nothing but the Vicar's "personal finger" would suffice as relief.
3) EMPATHY/VISUAL AID: Obviously, vicars have to interact with community youths, and what better way to appreciate their questions and concerns about sex than to "try it out once or twice"?
4) GAMBLING: He lost a wager.
Other theories may occur in time.

Well after several years of married life Marie Stopes discovered that she was still a virgin and so decided to set up those sex clinics, so perhaps the vicar had no prior knowledge of what he was doing. (While his wife knew what he had not been doing )

You could dupe a vicar into having sex as follows:
1) Show him some egg shells filled with damp cotton wool
2) Give him a packet of mustard and cress seed and asked him if he would mind putting some seed into your eggs.
3) Once he has agreed, insist on having sex on the basis he has promised.

.. if you use baby oil you get babies, so if you use vegetable oil do you get vegetables? (Or just Tory MPs).
FWIW I think he meant "duped" about the possibility of a baby. The only reason most vicars do not blow apart at the seems is that we can not bear the thought of being caught.
Has he at any point said sorry ?

Andrew Brown in Zezebel's Trumpet (the Church Times for those who don't know the term) makes the sensible point that Fr Gray has either been massively deceived and placed into an impossible position by one of his parishioners (ie that she drugged him and, under the influence of that drug, cajoled or 'duped' him into having sex with her presumably without taking any precautions against contracting an STD or a child that he now has to pay for) or that he is an astonishingly persistant liar of great magnitude. There seems to be no middle ground.
That being said one can understand why he might be tempted to lie even if the affair had been consensual. His job provides him and his family of a wife and five children with a home and income and pension. If he steps down from that job he has no home, no income, no prospect of getting work anywhere else (he has, as far as I can see, no professional qualification to try to move into a different field of work) and is a figure of fun for the rest of his life. If he is lying, then one can see why the stakes might be high enough that he might do so.

We have to feel little bit sorry for Mr Gray since he is going to be impotent as a vicar for years to come. If he starts any change that is opposed by a parishioner, all they have to is write to the Bishop and the process for depriving of his job could be started. There will be a number of subjects he won't be able to preach on with out people laughing at him and indeed as Cosmo he will be a figure of fun for years.
It is of course possible he really was duped.

But how?? I know it's what we've all been saying but HOW does a man get duped into having sex? It does seem from the article that's the bit he feels he was duped into.... and I'd love to give him the benefit of the doubt but I just haven't heard any feasible explanation...

Pyx e. Good one that! I'm not sure that many of ny clergy friends would appreciate it though.
Cosmo. I see what you're getting at. Fr Gray probably doesn't have qualifications which would enable him to earn a living in any other sphere. This is perhaps the best argument yet for not allowing anyone to be ordained until they have spent at least 10 years earning their bread in secular employment and know enough about the world of work in order to make a return to it later on in life if necessary. At the same time however, it is clearly inappropriate in my view for Fr Gray to continue in parish ministry and, were I his Bishop I would see to it that he was removed from office if he didn't choose to resign. Behaviour unbecoming of a clerk in holy orders is a serious matter and, in this case, a cause of grave scandal. Apart from anything else, Fr Gray's actions have lost him the moral authority to teach, preach and lead the people of God.
Surely to goodness he could be offered early retirement with the offer a full pension? Not many clergy would refuse that unless they were particularly obstinate.
Much sympathy has been spent on Fr Gray over this issue. What about Mrs Gray though? Doesn't she deserve some sympathy? She must be feeling pretty betrayed I would have thought.

Yeah, you know what they say: "Dupe me once, shame on you. Dupe me twice, shame on me." What do you want to bet he falls into the latter category?
I'm sure there was some dupe-licity involved on someone's part, don't you?

The story was also in the Mail On Sunday ( ). The article, iirc, said that the fact that he'd had a child with the ex-church organist was common knowledge in the community and most people were happy to turn a blind eye until he'd either written or contributed to a piece railing against clergy immorality. After that someone felt compelled to grass him up for being such a hypocrite.

In the interest of academic research, I tried diligently all week-end to be duped into having sex. It is far more difficult than one would think. Despite my best efforts, I failed to be duped. After my experiments, my considered opinion is the vicar is lying.

What this issue really needs is not only the intrepid investigators Sine and ken, bravely putting their little all on the line in the name of scientific inquiry, but we need volunteers to actually attempt the duping of these brave lads.

Who, who amongst our flock here will step forward and, in the name of sweet Reason, help our stalwart, handsome, virile, yet lonely young pioneers Sine and ken get to the bottom of this issue, tearing aside every encumbrance, until the tall, hard Truth is revealed in the glorious Light of Reason, until the sweet Valley of Ignorance lies open before the exploring hand of Science, aching for the first of many thrusts of knowledge, striving to pierce to the bottom of this delectable well, to plumb the very depths of this pearlescent mound of tender, Deepest Mystery?

This suggests a modification to kenwritez' experiment. We need:
- a person drugged with whatever this miracle drug is,
- a person to be duped into sex and
- a person to be duped into sex having been drugged with the miracle drug
. I believe we have our volunteers for the last two - toss of the coin for who gets to take the drug, boys - but the first two are waiting to be filled or otherwise.
Of course we need to know what might sucessfully dupe them and what wiles they can see through. It's the difference between:
"Avaunt, scheming lothario/seductress - you can't dupe me into your bed of shame." and
"What the??? Why am I lying in the wet patch?"

I know! I know! Please miss! (sticks up hand and waves it in air).
It wasn't the woman parishioner who duped him into having sex. It was his, er, heat-seeking missile. He hadn't had its function explained properly by his daddy so he didn't know it had a mind of its own. Er, at least I've heard that but my NCG mind doesn't understand it.

Actually, ken is not a vicar, so is a suitable candidate to do the duping. Obviously, he has so far failed to dupe his own vicar - who is, I believe, a woman - so perhaps we should see if ken can successfully dupe Sine into having sex.
