I guess nobody could speak at Catholic universities in France, or for that matter, much of Catholic Europe, where mistresses are common and accepted. I once had a French client who said he would not trust a politician who did not have a mistress.

Well it's still adultery no matter what the French do in France.

Who really cares what the custom is over there? Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it OK.

The term "Catholic Europe" is an oxymoron, for a number of reasons including the one you mentioned. The Catholic Church has had little or no influence in Europe for decades, and in France the church is nothing more than an arm of the secular government (all church property is owned by the state).

Dear Torie,

"I guess nobody could speak at Catholic universities in France, or for that matter, much of Catholic Europe, where mistresses are common and accepted."

The Catholic Church distinguishes between those who commit sins (all of us), and those who uphold crimes against humanity as a fundamental right.

In one case, the sinner sins. In the other, the individual proclaims publicly that what is gravely evil is actually good and worthy. In one case, the sinner contravenes the moral law. In the other case, the individual rewrites the moral law and publicly proclaims his enormity.
