And the kicker is how they refer to the relationship as "a solid and beautiful bond". How can mortal sin (added to sacrilege in the case of a priest) ever lead to anything "solid and beautiful"?
Kasper the Friendly Heretic will find a way to accommodate them, I'm sure.
You know, sin is one thing. People are weak and then sin. God knows that we have all sinned. What's irritating is the attempt to LEGITIMIZE sin.
St theresa of Avila described an incident in which a priest was in one of these relationships. The woman used witchcraft to bring this about. The only thing beautiful about this was when Jesus told her that his love for her (Theresa) was so great that he was willing to allow himself to pass through the hands of this priest in order for her (Theresa) to recieve him (Jesus) in Holy Communion.
