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.
