The wording is a bit ambiguous …
I suppose it does not mean “his love for a writer” in the sense that he really likes her writing (which happens to be “satan-themed erotic fiction”, hence not really appropriate for a bishop to love) … right?
Rather, it means he is “in love” with the writer (which also happens to write “satan-themed erotic fiction”, which – at this point – makes the whole thing just a little more inappropriate for a bishop).
(Not saying these are my opinions about appropriateness for bishops. Just trying to get what’s going on here )
It seems like what she writes is not even the central issue, it’s the relationship period. Vow of celibacy and all that.
His girlfriend’s body of work just makes it news worthy because of the lulz.
backing of bullshit “conversion therapy” to “change” a person’s sexual orientation
good riddance
Well yeah, especially because he was a renowned exorcist. It’s a little too on the nose.
Well, it may also mean that, and still be entirely consistent with his regressive, sadistic, exorcism-loving views. Sounds like her books simply fetishize elements of his world-view.
Seems ligit.
If this is not definitive proof that we are living in someone’s simulation, I don’t know what is.
I see everybody took the opportunity to bash the bishop.
Shame on you all!
Please note his gay-hate was OK but once he showed love for a fellow human being it was over…
Weird lot.
Curious if he tried conversion therapy to make himself celibate again.
He should pray the straight away
But honestly, sounds like he’s on a better path now than he was.
My thoughts exactly. I hope he becomes a better person than he was
