Now keep in mind...only nuns take a vow of "chastity "...(no sex) ..priests on the other hand take a vow of "celibacy " ( no marriage) ..so there is no vow stopping a mistress or male partner ..just no legal tie that would allow inheritance .

Interesting, that......

Inane that.....Celibacy means no marriage....in the Catholic church "no marriage means "no sex" and that goes for everyone, even those who don't take the vow of celibacy.

Of course both of you know that
