this is not going to end well

Probably not, in the first place it did not start out right, a young lad who was most likely brain washed into thinking he wanted to be a Priest with out thinking of the sacrifices the Church put on that duty.

The Church recruiting young people to help run the Church at an age when they are not mature enough to know what they want, much less what they can do.

The shame, if there is any lies in the religious society who care nothing about common sense or right or wrong but only pomp and prestige.

The man most likely had good intentions and how long did he fight his natural inclinations before he gave into them just because he was bound to his commitment to the Church.

Yes he should have quit the Church first, but the Church should either stop the unmarried Priests rule or quit recruiting men too young to even know any thing about it.

There is so much wrong with your statement I don’t know where to begin

It sounds to me like it was the woman who wanted to horrify and mortify her mother by screwing a priest.

He was ordained when he was 32, if I'm reading his bio correctly. That's hardly a naive child.

What the heck? Thomas Merton fell for a nurse and almost went the same route, and he was no stripling when he joined the monastery.
