Former porn star Ronald Boyer has chosen to retire from his carnal commercial activities and become a priest in the Episcopalian Church, the US version of the Anglican Church. This is not the first time a bona fide sinner turns around, of course, but this guy is no Augustine of Hippo:

He [Boyer] has tired of performing in sex movies, but even now doesn't condemn it. "Not one time did Jesus refer to pornography, or homosexuality," he observed on the Internet show, which he began as a co-host in May. "Jesus could have commented. He didn't."

To be fair to Boyer, Augustine may have had it somewhat easier. There are no videos of  Augustine excercising his pre-conversion activities.

Boyer’s quitting porn because he’s tired of it, not because it might be contemptible or less than Christian behavior. He was spooked by some of the satanic themes in contemporary porn.  I liked the part when Boyer suggests that Jesus didn’t condemn porn movies and porn magazines. That Jesus fellow was certainly lacking in the area of foresight, according to the would-be priest. With that kind of interpretive theology, Boyer is ready to be a Doctor of the United Church.

Then again, if he follows this bishop, he might find a nice home in the Anglican Church.
