Unfortunately this quote is famous because several knights who were drunk and lingering outside the door overheard this and went to go "help" their king. They killed Thomas Becket and it is said the cut his head off.  The King grief stricken by his good friends death sent the knights to the holy land (Jerusalem), an effective death sentence, to make penance for their crimes against the church and god.\nG

Go see your local priest, whichever your faith may be. Tell him your concerns and ask his advice. I shall say no more. Good luck in your endeavours.\n\nCheers, L

Sure, go join the Church of Scientology and get brainwashed... of course, then you may not believe you want to talk to him anymore and might be obsessed with Lord Xenu. LOL

Try to find it in your heart to see this person as just a sad someone who will never be as fabulous as you are.  Cultivate compassion and forgiveness for him or her, and be happy that you are nothing like him or her.\nDo not forget this person though, or the harm he or she has done to you, and recognise the lessons that this person has taught you about your own feelings.  \n\n"Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do".\n\nLove is always the stronger force, and hate leads to your own personal destruction.  Let go of the anger and find the peace and you will be all the more a better person for it.

Ignore him. He's feeding off your frustration. Just look the other way and pretend he's invisible. Good luck.

No, you can ask your local priest to kill him if you prefer.

i didn't even know about him until i read your question. i read a bunch of stuff about him and i must say, i feel kinda sorry that people won't leave him alone while he meditates. when asked why he left his spot under the tree, he said "there is no peace here". anyway, i don't blindly believe in miracles. but i will be following this story from now on. i just hope he gets some peace and quiet so he can figure out what he needs to. i'm sure all this hoopla isn't what he is trying to accomplish. hopefully he can figure out a way to get his messege across to people without all the usual crap that springs up whenever a prophet appears somewhere. and i hope noone tries to hurt him. it would bother me very much if he became another victim of ignorant violence.

I remember that story also his name was Father Ronald Dennis Pickering heres the article.\n\nSex predator: the priest who got away\nBy Gary Hughes, Larry Schwartz\nMarch 24 2002\n\nA Roman Catholic priest who sexually abused young boys in Melbourne for more than 20 years is unlikely to ever face prosecution after fleeing to Britain.\n\nThe Catholic Church has so far paid out more than $50,000 in compensation, provided counselling and made formal apologies to victims whose lives were shattered by Father Ronald Dennis Pickering.\n\nA Sunday Age investigation has revealed that Pickering moved from parish to parish around Melbourne, selecting vulnerable boys. His preferred victims were members of church choirs or altar boys.\n\nA number of deaths from drug overdoses and attempted suicides among suspected victims have been linked to Pickering's activities.\n\nBut despite detailed statements having been given to Victoria Police by two of Pickering's victims, it is unlikely he will ever be extradited to Melbourne to face charges.\n\n\nOne victim said police told him the case was not serious enough to justify the cost of extradition proceedings.\n\nThe Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne said it was prepared to "fully cooperate" with any extradition.\n\nBut Victoria Police refused to say whether the Pickering case had been investigated and refused to comment on why there had been no attempt to extradite him.\n\nThe Sunday Age has traced victims dating as far back as 1966 through to the early 1980s. One of the victims says he believes up to 100 boys may have been abused by Pickering before he fled to his native Britain in 1993.\n\nPickering, who was ordained in the Melbourne archdiocese in 1957, served as a priest in Essendon, St Kilda East, Warburton, Clayton and Gardenvale.\n\nThe Vicar-General of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, Monsignor Christopher Prowse, confirmed that three victims had so far contacted the church, with the most recent application for compensation being made earlier this month. The church was satisfied in each case that abuse had occurred and has made two ex gratia compensation payments, with an offer being made in the third case.\n\nA further suspected victim, who was befriended by Pickering during the early 1980s, died of a drug overdose in 1992 at the age of 22. In a letter to the man's mother in November, the head of the Melbourne archdiocese's Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse, Peter O'Callaghan, QC, admitted Pickering "had a proclivity for child abuse".\n\nMr O'Callaghan wrote to the mother, Rosemary Gaudin, who is receiving counselling paid for by the Catholic Church, that her "suspicions that Matthew (her son) was a victim of Pickering are well justified".\n\nMatthew had been a member of the choir and an altar boy at St James in Gardenvale, where Pickering worked before fleeing Australia.\n\nMs Gaudin said another Gardenvale choir boy had died of a drug overdose a year before her son and a third had attempted suicide and was receiving psychiatric care. She believes they may also have been victims of Pickering's abuse.\n\nTwo of the victims who have received compensation payouts from the Melbourne archdiocese also received written personal apologies from the former Archbishop of Melbourne, George Pell, who is now Archbishop of Sydney.\n\n"On behalf of the Catholic Church and personally, I apologise to you and to those around you for the wrongs and hurt you have suffered at the hands of Father Ronald Pickering," Dr Pell wrote.\n\nLast week Pope John Paul, breaking his silence on a wave of child-sex scandals in the United States, said Roman Catholic priests abusing minors were carrying out the worst form of evil possible. \n\nThe Sunday Age believes that Pickering fled to England after lawyers representing one of his victims began making inquiries.\n\nMonsignor Prowse said Pickering left his parish in Gardenvale "without warni

I am Christian, and I don't like him either. I would keep pushing the abuse button. If people would only stop answering his questions, he would go away after a while. Perhaps you could get up a petition against his avatar, so hopefully any avatar like his would not be allowed on.
