A Catholic priest is accused of stealing over $1 million in donations for years of dirty sex with a muscled homosexual S&M master.

Rev. Peter Miqueli, 53, who is currently a pastor at St. Frances de Chantal in Throggs Neck is accused of taking from the donation plate at leading churches on Roosevelt Island and in The Bronx where he led the congregations.

A lawsuit filed on Thursday in the Manhattan Supreme Court by furious parishoners claims that Miqueli would spend $1,000 at a time for bondage sessions with a ‘homosexual sex master’ named Keith Crist.

The lawsuit also claims that the Archdiocese of New York and Timothy Cardinal Dolan knew about Miqueli’s ‘illegal scheme’ and did nothing to stop it.

‘This lawsuit seeks to finally put an end to this truly sinful conduct so that St. Frances de Chantal parish can regain the strength, spirituality and faith it once had before Father Miqueli arrived,’ court papers say.

The New York Post reports that during sex sessions, Miqeuli was forced to drink Crist’s urine. Miqeuli and his ‘lover’ shared a home in Brick, New Jersey after Miqueli paid $264,000 six years ago. Miqueli also $1,075.50 a month for Crist’s East Harlem apartment.
