Kinky man of the cloth Rev. Peter Miqueli just can’t seem to quit his unholy habits.

The alleged S&M-loving, urine-swilling, collection-plate-stealing priest still has his muscle-bound “master” Keith Crist as a regular house guest at Miqueli’s Jersey Shore home, neighbors told The Post.

He also lets him tool around in a $50,000 red Lexus convertible registered to Miqueli. During a Post visit to the Brick, NJ, home last week, the flashy sports car discreetly wheeled straight into the garage via a remote-controlled door-opener.

“He’s here all the time,” said a neighbor, referring to the 41-year-old Crist. “Sometimes he takes in the groceries, the trash.

“They have no shame,” she said.

Miqueli tries to keep a lower profile, keeping the shades to the ranch-style house drawn, driving a gray SUV and refusing to come to the door when The Post visited him on Wednesday.

Miqueli, 52, who was known by parishioners for always being neat and immaculately coiffed, was spotted earlier in the day looking grungy and stubble-faced, wearing baggy jeans, and a hoodie inside an oversized flannel shirt.

Perhaps trying to change his luck, he was buying $10 worth of Powerball tickets at a ­7-Eleven. He didn’t win the jackpot.

Some neighbors said they’re fed up with the randy reverend living the low life on their block.

“We are all like, enough is enough’ with this guy,” said one angry dad. “We don’t need this s–t in the neighborhood. He’s gotta get out of here.”

Miqueli, ordained in 1991, was assigned to five parishes in Staten Island and Yonkers in his first 12 years as a priest, routinely angering the flock with a holier-than-thou attitude.

A lawsuit accuses him of stealing more than $1 million from St. Frances de Chantal Church in The Bronx and ripping off donations for a new pipe organ at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini on Roosevelt Island.

Crist’s girlfriend, Tatyana Gudin, 45, said some of the money paid for the priest’s peccadilloes, which she claimed included $1,000 sex romps with his bought-and-paid-for “master” Crist; $300 bottles of Scotch; and doses of the powerful pain killer Dilaudid.

Last month, after The Post exposed the scandal, Miqueli resigned as pastor of St. Frances. The New York Archdiocese said they have not substantiated allegations that Miqueli stole church funds and turned their findings over to the Bronx DA, who is still investigating.
