A male reader, eddie Canada +, writes (27 September 2007):

eddie agony auntIt's not wrong for you to love a priest or for him to love you. It is wrong to allow yourselves to get to the point where it's common knowledge. At some point you crossed the boundary of how a Catholic should desire to be with a priest and he crossed the line of appropriate behavior for a priest with a lay person...or any person.

The feelings are not wrong but the actions are. If he leaves the priesthood, it's OK. If he remains a priest, it's not OK.

At the end of the day, priests are human after all and have feelings like the rest of us. The only difference is the collar and their faith...

I agree with Phil's answer tho at the same time - if he loves you as much as you say he will leave the priest hood for you. If not he is only playing you and using you for sex.

What ever the outcome of this is I wish you health & happiness in your life and that you make the right decisions in your life :)

A reader, anonymous, writes (27 September 2007):

He won't be the first Catholic Priest to have been found tasting forbidden fruit, and he certainly won't be the last.

Personally, I never could figure out why Priests have to make a vow of celibacy. That goes against the grain for me.

If he's true to his religion he'll resign if he wants to continue with your relationship. If he doesn't he's a hypocrite and deserves to be exposed. Can you be certain you're the only one this has happened to with him? The answer to that is 'No', you can't.

I spy trouble ahead if you don't distance yourself from this 'Man of God'.
