This self-confessed mistress is revealing the four distinct lies that men tell their wives when they’re cheating. Amy Kupps, 32, only sleeps with married men and “doesn’t care” that she’s a homewrecker. “Cheaters are a thrill in bed, mainly because they haven’t been pleased in years so they are willing to do whatever it takes to get me excited,” the brazen brunette told Jam Press.

Stan Pulliam, 40, told the Willamette Week that he and his wife of 12 years, MacKensey, had “explored relationships, mutual relationships with other couples, for a brief period of time before ultimately deciding that it wasn’t for us.” Pulliam, the mayor of his hometown of Sandy, fessed up to the outlet after a 2016 screenshot from a page titled “Swinger Facebook Group PDX” made its rounds...

[Catholic Caucus] Marital Nullity, Farewell. Doors Open for “Catholic Divorce”Pope Francis is known for speaking without restraint during in-flight press conferences, saying everything and the opposite of everything. But he also wings it when he meets with the Italian bishops behind closed doors.Proof of this are the two hours of confidential conversation he had with the Italian bishops gathered in plenary assembly at the end of November (in the photo). Officially, nothing has been leaked to outsiders. But there was just one topic on which the pope lambasted the unfortunate audience. The same one that on November 26, at the...

Pope’s Italian crackdown suggests he’s more irked by sloth than ideologyROME – Early on Pope Francis may have played down most of the traditional epithets of his office, such as “Primate of Italy,” by instructing the Vatican to print them on a separate page of its annual yearbook. The fact he avoids the title, however, clearly doesn’t mean he dislikes the gig.On the contrary, few popes in recent memory have been quite as aggressive in seeking to reshape the Italian church in their own image as Francis, who may be Argentinian but whose family roots are in the northern Italian...

Pope ensures application of marriage annulment reforms in ItalyPope Francis issues Motu Proprio, setting up a new commission to verify and implement new rules for marriage annulment cases in Italian dioceses. Vatican News Six years ago in September 2015, Pope Francis issued the Motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus (The Gentle Judge, our Lord Jesus), introducing new rules to streamline the process for obtaining marriage annulments, addressing complaints that the proceedings in marriage tribunals were too cumbersome, complicated, and expensive. Motu Proprio On Friday, the Pontiff made a further move in this area, issuing a motu proprio to establish a...

Is John 7:53-8:11 Authentic?The account of the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53-8:11) has a textual history that makes heads spin. Michaels in her commentary on John [146] offers the details: It is not in the earliest manuscripts (with one exception); in those manuscripts where we do find it, it is not found in one place. Some have it at the end of John. Some put it after our John 7:36; one puts it after 7:44. Some have it in Luke, after Luke 21:38. So what's happening here? Do we maybe have a bit of an otherwise rejected gospel, or...

[Catholic Caucus] ‘Amoris Laetitia’ RevisitedPope Francis' novel approachCatholic doctrine, courtesy of Christ Himself, holds that "anyone who even looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). Adultery is, in itself, evil. Anyone in an adulterous relationship is living in a state of grave sin (sin that, if committed with full knowledge and consent, leads to damnation). There is no half-grave sin or one-third-grave sin when it comes to an action that is, per se, evil. Saint Paul warns, "Adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9). And again, Christ...

President Biden on Thursday received a warm welcome in England from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson — but dodged a handshake from Johnson to instead greet his new 33-year-old bride after telling the British leader he “married up” — amid a reported dust up over Northern Ireland policy. “Wait a minute! Wait a minute!” Biden said, waving off Johnson as he emerged from his motorcade. Biden, 78, walked past Johnson with a beaming smile on his face. “Good to see you! Best wishes!” Biden said, bumping wrists with Carrie Johnson, the Prime Minister’s 33- year-old bride. Turning to Johnson, Biden...

Dads are taking parenting much more seriously. But according to a new study of sitcoms, the stereotype of the foolish father remains stubbornly in place. From Homer Simpson to Phil Dunphy, sitcom dads have long been known for being bumbling and inept. But it wasn’t always this way. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, sitcom dads tended to be serious, calm and wise, if a bit detached. In a shift that media scholars have documented, only in later decades did fathers start to become foolish and incompetent. And yet the real-world roles and expectations of fathers have changed in recent...

Dear Reader: The Associated Press Stylebook, aka the Bible of journalism, has decreed that the word “mistress” shall no longer be used by journalists because “it implies the woman is solely responsible for the affair.” Instead — and much to the relief of unfaithful men everywhere — we are to use “friend,” “companion,” or — if we dare — “lover.” How many divorce actions, filed for the cause of adultery, will use those terms? “Mrs. Jones found out Mr. Jones was keeping Stankyho, a long-term friend, in a New York apartment for 10 years.” Nope, the legalese will say “long-term...
