Priests and Mistresses

5/20/2014

I have no idea if you guys have seen this or not, but when I read this article, I felt sick to my stomach.  

Some anonymous women got together and petitioned the Vatican to allow priests to marry because they are already in relationships with priests.  They basically played the victim in crying over their secret lives as mistresses.  

Ya know what, ladies?  You're not victims.  There is no real way to "accidentally fall in love with a priest."

You see a collar, you move on.  That's common sense.  However, much like those women who ignore wedding rings and then complain when their lovers don't leave their families to continue shacking up with them, common sense doesn't really come into play, does it?

Obviously the priests who participate in these sorts of relationships are also at fault, but as a woman, I am always so angry when I hear of other women being stupid enough to do this sort of thing (with married men, priests, etc).  

I mean, c'mon now.  This is like running a red light because you thought the cops weren't looking.  You've officially caused a five-car pile up because you were too selfish to care about anyone else, and now you're demanding that the officer change the law so that the injury and pain you caused is somehow no longer your fault.  

My mind is officially blown by such arrogance.  

In their letter, they wrote "Very little is known about the devastating suffering of a woman who is deeply in love with a priest." 

*Rolls eyes*

Actually, quite a lot is known.  Ya know why?  Because your ridiculous sob story is the same exact one that's played out in every other marriage plagued by adultery.  You are "the other woman."  Just because he's a priest doesn't make this fact any less true.  You purposefully went after someone who was off-limits.  Maybe he even made it easy.  Maybe he pursued you.  I don't care.  You're still wrong for allowing yourself to become entangled in such stupidity.  You are no better than the woman who knowingly sleeps with a married man (or the man who sleeps with a married woman).  You're both committing adultery and you're both causing one another to be unfaithful to yourselves, your communities, and God.

You will find no sympathy from me in this regard.  What you are doing and what you have allowed to happen is evil.  You are a pliable pawn being used by satan to take down God's representatives on earth.  You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves.

Maybe one day the Church will allow Her priests to marry.  Until then, be mindful of the incredible sacrifices that these men make on your behalf and be charitable.  Do not let yourself be a temptation to them- no matter how innocent your supposed intentions are. 


Ugh.  Seriously.  Just... ugh.  You love him, you say?  Then respect the fact that he took vows and support him upholding every last one of them.

Pray for your priests, people.  And pray for women like this.

I have no comment about these women- they're all clearly dunces. But I was surprised by the prior at the Cistercian abbey- he admitted his adultery as rather than being reprimanded or told to end it, he was told to keep it quiet! That clearly does nothing to stop the behavior and is more likely to encourage it.

No sympathy. I understand loneliness, I truly do, but as you said, priests are married men, and collar is the ring. And yes, I do understand that mutual attraction is human... But if you feel it, you pick yourself up, turn your back, and walk away without freaking looking back. Anything else is masochism, foolishness and vanity.

These relationships are nightmares. Pray for those trapped.
