Jenny O’Connor, 47, said she was dismissed Saturday after acknowledging to the Rev. Fred Adamson, a vicargeneral, that she and her boyfriend married without the sanctity of a Catholic wedding because he is dying from cancer and they did not believe there was time to plan for and hold a church wedding.

Pretty damn stupid of her. Assuming this is the full story, that is. Just cause the bulletin says to arrange at least 6 months in advance with the parish priest for a wedding doesn't mean that things can't happen quicker in cases of emergencies. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Well, there have to be priorities.

1. Enforce the Rules.
2. Protect the children.
