This IS an interesting discussion - as is the whole discussion about
priests, etc.

I've always thought this was literally a pornographic watch, but a pocket
watch, not a wrist-watch.  One of those ones that opens at the back to
"hide" a picture of some kind.  Maybe he found it, and kept it out of
curiosity!

As far as priests go, I've meet good ones and bad ones.  When I first went
to high school, it was a private boys boarding school (run by the Roman
Catholic Church, although I'm not Roman Catholic) that had just started
accepting day students, and girls.  It was a much "better" school than the
public schools in the area.  But then they integrated with the state school
system and it all went down-hill.  Discipline was non-existent, and the
principal (a priest) was rumoured to be having an "affair" with one of the
older male students, so I left (or rather my parents removed me) half-way
through my high school schooling.  Ironically I ended up at the same school
where my mother was a teacher, and she taught me for the next three years
.... but that's another story!

But there were some wonderful teachers (priests and nuns) and some terrible
ones.  I guess all I'm saying is there are good and bad people in every walk
of life - unfortunately the good ones just don't make the news as often.
