I know someone who drinks a lot, and got caught watching porn twice by his wife within the last month. Then has the nerve to go to church!

He'd be a hypocrite if he spoke stridently and publicly against those things, but then proceeded to do them covertly. As is (and without knowing him), he could be a sinner who is trying to change. Jesus told us that the well don't need a doctor as much as the ill. Just my opinion 
Sounds like he has some problems he needs to work out with God maybe that's why he is still going to church.; I pray that he receives the spiritual help he needs. The booze prolly removes any inhibitions thus the funny pictures.
Tha Jeebus made wine out of water and consorted with prostitutes, so no problem with the posted scenario for me.
Jokes and fables aside, I agree with the first two responses.

Hey, when I lived in South Lake Tahoe back in the late eighties, our mayor went to church every Sunday. And it was on a Sunday that they arrested him for drug dealing and money laundering. In his case, attending church helped him look like a pillar of the community and throw people off his trail. Sometimes bad people hide in churches.
Not a fan of people who are hypocrites. I think you can do whatever you choose but no need to try to pass yourself off as something you are not.

Remember what a rowdy bunch some of those men Jesus befriended were? He'd reach out to the dredges of society and then bring them to your house for dinner. I'm not the best example of a good Catholic, but I'm at Mass every week trying to refocus, repent, do better. Forgive, be forgiven and try again.
"...got caught by his wife." I found this funny. She should just watch it with him and then have some fun.
Find me a man who has not viewed some porn, in church or out. I would guess that most have looked at it at one time or another.

More than likely he's made to go . . . I think he needs to attend.
He's not made to go to church, he goes of his own accord.
I call him a 'poser'. Trying to act like he is a good church going person to his parents, and the church members.
I lost all respect for him some time ago.

Maybe he felt the need to confess his sins (but that would only be in a traditional church with a priest, a confessional etc.)
"Let he who is without sin be the one to cast the first stone" - I think I may have just misquoted Jesus there
Then as nicely as I can put this . . .let him be. It's one of those things that you can't change and everyone knows the type of person he is and I still say he should attend.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Is it that he was already a church-goer, or that after he got caught he went to church?
May God's grace help him out a bit. How much drinking is "a lot"?, I do like beer, some wine, some Jager - drinking is not a sin as far as I know. But if you lose control and beat your wife and kids or chase girls (or boys) every time you drink, then mayhap it's time to reconsider.
Maybe he goes to church to pray for forgiveness and guidance? What person who crosses the threshold into church is not a sinner?

Think you are looking for "dregs" of society.. Dredges are those big machines that scoop earth out of waterway bottoms..tho both are bottom feeders so..
