“Find out later she has a weakness for married men. Goes to hotels to meet them.”
Oh, my gosh! You mean she’s a . . . (gulp) s-i-n-n-e-r? Can’t be! We know that Christians never sin!
GPH, I expect more from you than that. We are all sinners. Sometimes those who outwardly appear to have - and encourage - the greatest virtues also struggle with the worst vices. Haven’t we all heard enough cases like that among Protestant ministers? I just saw an article about this guy yesterday:

Your nutty aunt and your neighbor - no matter what brokenness and sinful problems they have - might still have more of Christ’s charity in their hearts than you do.
It's the same excuse used for Catholic priests who molest boys.
Why am I not surprised?
And yet a non-Catholics would have to be pure as Jesus Himself to pass muster with a Catholic while when Catholics sin, it's blown off as not being particularly significant because *everyone is doing it*.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
