The public interest?

We've all had a laugh in the office today at the revelations of Fr. Hogan's indiscretions. He's moved swiftly to apologise and has requested time away from his responsibilities which I think you'd have to say is the right course of action. But I can't help wondering what The Sun feels its role in a story like this is. It's deeply embarassing for the man and he's going to have to live with his shame but is it really newsworthy? Is it really in anyone's interest to see a full page photo of a middle-aged man standing in his underwear on the cover of a daily newspaper? Even if it is The bloody Sun. I'm not sure..
