   They should do some group couples counseling with the boyfriend and girlfriend over on the peninsula. The ones with the dog, that the guy wanted to include in a shower together.

   If Karl Wojtyla were there, he’d have them back on the right track in no time:

   “Look, you’re both sinners here, obviously, but you already knew that. It’s just that now the truth of your private sins has been made known to the other. And the rest of the world, thanks to Reuters.

   “But never mind that; it is perhaps significant that you share a similar weakness, making it quite possible, even probable, that you will be especially helpful to each other in struggling with your weaknesses.

   “Surely there is room left in your hearts for forgiveness. Remember that Hosea’s wife Gomer was a prostitute, and that this is commonly understood as representative of God’s relationship with Israel.

   “Life and marriage are not easy. Take Hosea and Gomer as your guides, if not your patron saints, and do as you must. And preserve this marriage, which was given to you by God himself.”

   What upsets me is that Reuters makes him out to have the higher moral ground. She was there for commerce, he was there for pleasure.

   I’m sure he wasn’t complaining all those months about the extra income she was bringing in from her “part time job”.
