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

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.

She can and should.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
