NATIONAL CATHOLIC REGISTER : MISTRESSES WRITE TO THE POPE!

This link has the actual letter (In Italian) that was written to Pope Benedict singed by Antonella Carisio, Maria Grazia Filippucci, and Stefania Salomone.

The author of the article at this site, Jimmy Akin, is a convert to Catholicism, andhas a lot to say about the subject.

An excerpt:

"My heart also goes out to the mistresses, because they have a human desire to marry those to whom they are romantically attached and are genuinely pained at the situation in which they find themselves.

That’s the position in which mistresses commonly find themselves.

But the thing is . . . they’re mistresses.

They are living a life that is objectively sinful.

They are violating very basic and well-known elements of Christian morality. It’s hard to claim innocent ignorance in this case.

The same thing goes—even more so—for the priests with whom they are involved."

HE WAS A GOOD BOY...

STEPHANIA SOLOMONE - IN LOVE WITH A CATHOLIC PRIEST : MISTRESS OF THE MONTH OCTOBER 2011

Should Catholic priests be allowed to marry? And is it time for the Pope to allow this because at least 40 mistresses of priests in Italy wrote to the Pope last spring telling him so?

I learned about one of the 40 who allowed herself to be photographed, named Stephania Solomone. Although I think this group of mistresses are the type who want to be married, and many mistresses do not want to be, what I see is that these women have managed, also like many mistresses, to find themselves men who are absolutely unavailable for marriage because of the vow they took when they became priests! These frustrated women are not taking on a wife but an entire Church that has endured for hundreds of years.

By my way of thinking, the priests who have mistresses should be relieved of their vows and their priesthood (but not their Catholicism), and go ahead and marry these women. These men knew what the terms and conditions of priesthood would be and now they cannot, if actions speak louder than words, keep to those vows. So they can make another vow - to be married - and never divorce.

I know this subject of priests being able to marry, seems to be all about celibacy or self restraint - about sex - but sex is only part of the story. Love for someone that becomes carnal is another. Many mistresses do not have sex or no longer have sex. And if it becomes so that priests may marry, why would we think that they will wait until marriage to marry or not have many affairs themselves?
