Priest-rapper a hit with Catholic youth at US conference. A rap-singing, grey-habit-wearing Franciscan priest with a funky gray beret reached out to young people at a national conference of Catholic youth in the United States.

Fr Stan Fortuna’s concert at the Indianapolis Conference included music with lyrics touching on masturbation, pornography and sex. His songs include an eclectic blend of rap, hip-hop, traditional and jazz melodies.

Key phrases in that article: “funky gray beret,” “rap-singing,” “touching on masturbation.”

And of course, the rapping priest also has a web site. (If this guy hasn’t been Metafiltered yet, someone please get the ball rolling, please?) Sections include JPII - 4 - U (to bring the Pope to the homies) and MP3s (natch).
