WAS HE A FORNOCOLIC?

A recent story from the daily newspaper read as follows: "In Brazil a document dated 1481 has been found in state archives detailing a list of crimes committed by a priest that suggests he even outdid the famous Italian lover Casanova.

The document annulled a death sentence passed against Rev. Fernando da Costa, 62. He had been convicted of fathering 299 children by 59 women, including his own mother, five of his sisters, 29 adopted daughters and three slave women." It seems likely that he didn't have time to be an alcoholic. Perhaps he could have been called a Fornocolic?
