True, but only in the Catholic church is it a scandal for a single man to fall in love with a single woman.

Interesting choice of words.

Substitute "fall in love with a single woman" with "engage in fornication with a woman who was still married in the eyes of the Church" and you'll have the truth of the matter.

Add to this that he was not just any "single man" but a man from whom she had sought pastoral direction.

No traditional Christian denomination approves of such behavior.

I did not see in the article that she was married. If so, that would change things as far as they’re concerned.

However, I still stand by my original statement.
