HONESDALE, Pa. -- A New Jersey priest was trying to get revenge on God for poker losses when he collected computerized child pornography at his weekend home in Pennsylvania.

The Rev. Kevin Gugliotta, of Mahwah, was sentenced Thursday to 11 1/2 to 23 1/2 months in the Wayne County jail, receiving credit for 10 months he's already served. He pleaded guilty to a single count of disseminating child pornography.

Pretrial records show Gugliotta told probation officers he felt God was attacking him when he lost poker tournaments and games, and got "revenge" by collecting the porn.

Gugliotta was parochial vicar at Holy Spirit Church in Union. Newark Archbishop John J. Myers removed Gugliotta from ministry.

Defense attorney Jim Swetz confirmed revenge was the priest's "reason" for collecting the porn.
