How very telling.
And what an indictment against the Catholic church.
They were saved, forgiven, new creatures in Christ, not subject to the bondage of this world any longer. They were free to do whatever they pleased, and if the Catholic church didn't or doesn't like it, it can go pound sand.
They were not. He was a priest, she was a nun. Neither was free to marry. It was ugly fornication, no better than the homos "marrying" one another.
