In fact it said she could go to CONFESSION and Holy Communion, which is worded ambiguously but at least implies that she should confess and renounce her sins. That would include renouncing the illicit sexual relationship.

This is what the Pope said:

Francis said: 'Just tell her the Pope said that she can'.

Ms Larumbe, 39, told MailOnline she was 'speechless and emotional' after receiving the Holy Father's personal dispensation to partake in the key Catholic sacraments.

There was no report of the Pope ordering the adulteress to cease her fornication. Otherwise, it would not be called a "dispensation".

If the Pope had told her the proper course of reconciliation with the Catholic Church, Lombardi would be shouting it from the rooftops, not playing cat and mouse about "private conversations" are not Church doctrine.

And finally, why did the adulteress state:

'I've decided to wait until it's official for every Catholic, not just for me. I don't want it to be allowed just for me, I want it to be allowed for everyone.'
