The NYTimes printed a fairly inflammatory story about a priest who had an affair with a separated woman who came to his retreat for counsel regarding her failing marriage. They had a child, and now she is suing the Franciscans for assistance to pay for the child's cancer treatments. They, like any business, are avoiding payments. However, I have to ask, "What would Jesus do?"
A) Not have an affair with a technically married woman.
B) Not try to cover it up, especially when there are children involved.
C) Let priests get married.
D) Let women be priests (though that one really doesn't have to with the story - it's just true.).
For the record, the mother/woman he slept with is now a Methodist.

And this is, once again, why Lutherans use grape Koolaid.
