Priest broke his vows. No matter her sins, that's not cool.

[–]Dragonerne 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (6 children)

She can't really fault the priest for doing that. She broke her vows too.

I'm sure the priest feels just as guilty about it as her.

[–]QueenBread 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She can't really fault the priest for doing that.

She can and should.

[–]hfxB0oyA 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

The priest has an arguably greater responsibility to keep his vows to the church.

Maybe god sent him a vision telling him to do it? Checkmate.

If he's having hallucinations, he should see a shrink.

Pretty sure two wrongs do not make a right. Just because someone rapes your daughter does not mean you get to rape someone's else's daughter. She should talk to someone above his head, and if Catholic that should be pretty easy.

[–]William_World 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

just kill the rapist don't rape his daughter. thou are supposed to not kill but who cares

[–]Musky[S] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (11 children)

Would you want the priest to tell you if you were in the husband's place?

[–]ID10T 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I would but that doesn't matter. It's still highly unethical for the priest to break his vows on this. Weird, but both are true. As a husband I would want to know. But I can also appreciate the ethics and what the priest did is wrong.

Just like if someone stole from me I would like to beat the shit out of them, at the same time I understand why that is illegal and don't think it should be legal to beat the shit out of someone who steals from you. Does that make sense?

[–]Musky[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I get ya. I agree the priest acted unethically, he should be defrocked, and I understand why vigilantism isn't ideal however desirable it might be -- although that father who famously shot the guy who raped his daughter totally gets a pass from me.

But say you love your wife, truly love her, would you really want to remove them from your life for fucking up when you could simply not know. Knowing would likely forever fuck up your relationship. I think that's a difficult question.

[–]weavilsatemyface 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Look at it this way:

  • the guy just assumed the priest was telling the truth even though he (the priest) had already proven he could not be trusted by breaking confession;
  • the event was a single event, an anonymous one-night stand, not an on-going pattern of breaking of trust;
  • it was many years ago when the marriage was rocky;
  • and the relationship had been repaired since then.

Why would you not at least talk to your wife first and see if the two of you can move past it?

I guarantee that hubby has been cheating on her for years and years and years.

There is nobody who over-reacts so badly as somebody with a guilty conscience. Believe it.

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Now I'm thinking maybe the wife spun a whole story about how she told the husband and they made up so the priest was legitimately confused when the husband didn't know.

This is the issue with one getting one side of the story, people paint themselves in the best light to get sympathy.

[–]Dragonerne 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I would've reacted the same way.

[–]weavilsatemyface 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I would've reacted the same way.

I too believe everything authority figures say, no matter how untrustworthy they are. I'm also completely insecure, judgemental, and have no impulse control.

[–]hfxB0oyA 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Not the point.

[–]Musky[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm just curious, I agree breaking his vows was bad.

[–]WoodyWoodPecker 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If the wife does it, she is a victim, if the husband does it he is a monster.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]weavilsatemyface 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Why would I believe the priest in the first place? A priest who breaks confidentiality over something so trivially unimportant cannot be trusted, so anything the bastard says has to be taken with more than a grain of salt.

If I knew it was a one-off fling many years ago when the marriage was on the rocks? Why would I give a shit? The past is past, no harm done.

If it was an ongoing affair done behind my back? That's a tricky one. I guess it would depend on whether my wife and I had an expectation of monogamy or not.

I'd be more upset to learn my missus was going to confession than to hear about her screwing around behind my back.

My wife once said to me, "I don't care if you're mowing the neighbour's lawn, so long as you're mowing the lawn here too." Words of wisdom.

[–]jet199 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (11 children)

To be fair that isn't how confession is supposed to work.

The point is to individualise family members so they can be more easily controlled by the church.

[–]DirewolfGhost 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

To be fair that isn't how marriage is supposed to work. Bros before hoes.

[–]weavilsatemyface 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Bros before hoes.

Only for gays. Not that I have anything against them, some of my best friends are pillow-biters, but if you're putting your boy friends ahead of your girl friends, you're definitely gay as fuck.

[–]DirewolfGhost 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Wrong. That is a gay psyop used to push homosexuality. Not all fraternity is faggotry. They do not get to claim it.

[–]weavilsatemyface 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's what I'd expect a screaming queer to say to cover up his gayness.

"Just because I like hanging around men more than sex with women doesn't make me gay!"

There's no need to be embarrassed dude, we're all friends here. Its okay to be into guys you don't have to make excuses for it.

[–]Musky[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Would you want the priest to tell you if you had a husband who cheated on you?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Is jet a women? And how did you know.

[–]Musky[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

She said she was a woman and can confirm. She posted one pic to chat of her "danger hair" (it looked good), and later accidentally doxxed herself, but I don't think anyone besides me noticed.

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm anti Catholic.

But the power comes in keeping secrets.

[–]Musky[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Why are you anti-Catholic? I appreciate your points. I'm just curious if people would want to know. There's two dynamics at play here, the breaking of the priest's vows, and ignorance being bliss. I heard some advice long ago, they say if you cheat, you keep that to yourself, because telling the other person only serves to unburden yourself onto them.

It does bother me the woman didn't have the decency to feel bad when she cheated, only much later when the relationship was better. She's a fair weather wife. Maybe the husband dodged a bullet finding out and not wasting anymore time on her. Or maybe they could have had a long perfect fairy tale life together, and he would ultimately have been better off not knowing.

I'm not sure I'd want to know. It's a tough call.

[–]Dragonerne 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Why are you anti-Catholic?

It's a jew

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I think if it was one one night stand, I wouldn't want to know.

If it was a longer thing or repeated behaviour, then I would.

[–]QueenBread 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Wow, that priest's a jerk. He literally broke his vows.

[–]Musky[S] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

He did, but don't you think the husband had the right to know his wife was unfaithful? She didn't even feel bad about it for years. That's so heartless.

[–]QueenBread 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, of course I think the husband has a right to know. But it's not the priest's role doing that, in fact, he is the LEAST apt person to do that since he has a vow to not spill the secrets told in confessions.

[–]Maggotus 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

She got what she deserved. Once the trust is broken there is no going back. She didn't care when she cheated, but now she cares she got caught. She also lied to the priest when she said she would tell her husband and didn't. Maybe the priest should have followed up with her first instead of the husband. Either way kick the bitch to the curb.

[–]UbiquitousCultOfSelf 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This. But it's really curious the lack of understanding the incels here have for what marriage entails.
It's like they're so hard up for the pink that they don't mind another man's semen in their sea cow? Like, wut?
You're not shooting a skin flick for Penthouse letters, you're sharing your bed and life with someone you expect to always be truthful to you.
But the world doesn't get marriage, no large surprise there.
The what-the-fuggery of it is they think they understand religion enough to call the priest out. I'm not catholic, but the Good Lord done said, what deeds are done in the dark will come into the light.
Thanos did no, er the priest did nothing really to the marriage or the woman that shouldn't outta be done. Her goal is probably to fund the divorce from the catholic church rather than her, 'hitting it on the side' slush fund.
Any of these people saying they don't want to know, it was in the past, a one night stand.... yikes!
Hey, they're a cannibal, they ate one person... it was many years ago on a trip to Madagascar, and everyone was doing it, sure it's revolting but it was only once! No one ever had to know.
Oh, they produced CP, but it was only that one time with an indian tribe in canada that would later be wiped out by the catholic church anyway... it's all in the past, say no more!
There was the time she did it with a pack of wild mules, but like, that was in Vegas and everything that happens in Vegas.... Doubya-Tee-Effe folks. Get your heads screwed on straight (pun intended) next you'll be saying, it's ok she's a malaysian ladyboy, that was in the past, what matters now is her name is Caitlyn. Brah...

Here's the thread, this lady got some serious downvotes in the comments. https://old.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/v42kao/priest_broke_confession_seal_and_told_husband_i/

[–]Luminato 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

"Apparently the priest followed up to see if I'd told my husband...". How odd that a priest would break the Sacramental Seal without even following up with the Confessor first.

[–]weavilsatemyface 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Surprise surprise, the misogynist haters on Reddit are out in force.

Its Reddit, and we know what the demographics are like. 70% of the downvoters are troons who "identify as lesbians" and are mad that real women don't want to suck their 2 inch girl dick, and the rest are incels who spend all day jerking off to waifu porn and eating family-sized serves of chicken tendies while bitching online that women don't throw themselves at their feet and beg for cock.

Prove me wrong.

I remember when we played baseball and another kid hit the ball and broke the window. He confessed to the Priest who told the owner of the window who broke it and his parents had to pay for it.

[–]UbiquitousCultOfSelf 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I guess I’m confused because if a doctor or a lawyer exposed something I told them in confidence, wouldn’t I be able to sue? My husband is trying to lock me out of the house because of what this priest did.

My, but she's a self aware wolf.... Yes, yes it was the priest who uhh, checks notes, "cheated on your husband"? Wait, no, that was her.
Well, but she didn't even know his name, or keep in contact, that clearly absolves her!

I know selfa werewolves are a meme in the stupidest parts of reddit, but it's incoherent on that site too.

[–]UbiquitousCultOfSelf 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

selfawarewolf (plural selfawarewolves) (Internet slang, derogatory or humorous) A person who recognizes their own flaws, mistakes, or faulty logic, but does not see them as a problem to be addressed or connect them to their own behaviour and beliefs.

I don't usually reply at this hour on this day, but you rose above the frey.
Lady was willing to call out a priest for giving the husband an inadvertent heads up, but then blamed all her woes on the priest instead of realizing the problems were all her own creation.
She is ironically the one calling out infidelity. But to her logic, it wasn't a big deal because she didn't even know the bloke's name.

Ah, ok so you're drawing a comparison between the priest's vows of confessional secrecy and her own marriage vows. I guess when framed thusly I kinda get the point. I still think the werewolf thing is a very poor attempt to convey any sort of meaning. It seems like someone came up with a bad pun first and then tried to force it into meaning something.

I'm gonna take a stab at this and say not Catholic, probably some form of evangelical protestant.

if more priests were based like this and not pedos i'd get into religion more
