Oops. A Roman couple caught in a moment of amore chose a very unfortunate place to express their desire for one another.....a confessional box in a Catholic church. While the priest was giving a morning Mass. Bless me Father, for I have sinned.....am sinning.....will continue to sin.....
As only an Italian could do, the bishop made peace with the couple under the stipulation that they'll refrain from expressing their carnal passion in church. (The article makes no mention of their marital status, so I'm going to assume they weren't married.....oops, I'm pretty sure adultery is one of the seven deadly sins....) Apparently the couple had been drinking the previous night and - this is the part that perplexes me - decided sex in the confessional was a good idea. To me, this begs an interesting question - did they go to the church with the intention of, uh, intimacy....or did they just sort of get carried away in the passion [paging Mel Gibson] of the moment?
Presumably to purify the church, the bishop recently conducted a "Mass of Reparation" to make up for the sacrilege. In times like this, it's important for passionate young Catholics to remember - the question is what - not who! - would Jesus do?
