Some very heart-rending stories from women who just can't control themselves.

Never mind that the Church has NEVER allowed priests to marry AFTER ordination.

At the very least Francis might consider letting them receive Holy Communion.

Quote

"We love these men, they love us, and in most cases, despite all efforts to renounce it, one cannot manage to give up such a solid and beautiful bond," they wrote. "We humbly place our suffering at your feet in the hope that something may change, not just for us, but for the good of the entire Church," unnamed women continued in the letter that was first reported by the website Vatican Insider.
...
"Very little is known about the devastating suffering of a woman who is deeply in love with a priest." The women write.

Isn't this how "Communion" in the hand started? It wouldn't surprise me if Francis "studied" it. After all, he's so full of...surprises.
