Ecce homo.
I think they showed love, compassion and mercy on a poor dying soul. Wow..

If it was nobody's business then it shouldn't bother you.
You have to admit that it's a shame to have a full lantern and no matches.
This Sister is not Catholic, nor was the Catholic Church involved in this in any way.
But I agree with your sentiment; this story is repugnant.
It's quite a different feeling for a 22-year-old loser who has never had it.
Only the cabin-boy knows for sure!
Sorry, but it's just plain wrong for a nun to involve herself in a deliberate sin and in the scandal of publicizing it.
Who made the decision to call in the Telegraph and publicize this story? The young disabled man? The nun? Somebody else?
I am not going to criticize this young man, unless it was his idea to call the newspaper and make this business public. We don't know that he is Catholic--probably not. We don't even know whether the nun in question had the power to say yes or know to his request. But the nun was stupid to let herself get involved in the public and scandalous perception that she approved of this business and maybe approved of publicizing it.
Let's hope she was just stupid--that the story got out because someone leaked it, and not because the whole thing was some kind of crazed publicity play intended to undermine the Church.
If what you say is true then we have no chance to stop global warming.
Absolutely, would make a good movie. I'm very happy for him, no man should die a virgin.
Looks more like an itchy homo.
This one had a head start.
A woman.
Immorality is immorality. They know right from wrong. This was wrong.
Probably.

I saw what you put next to your screename in parenthesis.
I've had this conversation with another Alpha-Male friend of mine and our women, we broke it down this way.
FOOD, MONEY, SEX, SLEEP
If women would like to understand us better, this is how we operate. Sex is only third because you have to have food to stay alive, money for shelter and a bed, sex, you need 1 and 2 first, sleep-after sex, often immediately.
Are you so certain that there are no virgins at FR?
Perhaps the Pope might disagree....and then again perhaps not.
I agree with your post and was thinking the same thing. Why is this being blabbed to the media? And for the Church to be involved and then apparently not care about it being made public seems bizarre.
I can understand this young man's situation - G-d knows I was a young man once, too - but I can't help thinking about people like Warren Zevon and Stephen Hawking* who, knowing they were soon to leave the world, put their remaining time and energy into doing great things.
[*When Hawking was diagnosed, he was given 2-3 years to live. Incidentally, he married after he was diagnosed, and fathered four children.]
