The old woman and the knee

My grandmother is perhaps 85 years old and spends most of her free time at the local Catholic church doing laundry, maintaining the altar, etc. Her Polish immigrant family was quite poor when she was young, and as a result she was placed in a Catholic orphanage. She has returned the favor to the Church her entire life, even now that she is approaching Pope-like frailty. The new priest, however, really drove her up the wall. She thought for sure that he didn't like her, and she also thought he was a perv. Well, turns out that grandma was right:

GARY — A Northwest Indiana Roman Catholic priest, accused of sexual misconduct that allegedly occurred while he was serving in Florida, has been placed on administrative leave.
Gary Bishop Dale J. Melczek took the action against the Rev. Richard Emerson, 52, of Hammond after the diocese’s response team reviewed the allegations...

He is restrained from public ministry or contact with minors pending a Vatican review, the release said. Emerson, who was ordained in 1978 in the Gary diocese, has been pastor of Michigan City’s Notre Dame parish since July 2003.

According to the allegations, Emerson engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor in the late 1980s while he was a priest in the Diocese of Orlando.

It is rumored that Grandma's weather-forecasting knee also tells her which priests are perverts.
