My apologies.
I should perhaps have gone back and completely edited out the personal questions, because in fact I did not want them answered. That's why I said it might be better to just answer them in principle - not that I want to know what's going on with that couple but what ought to be done.
Maybe even that question was out of line. Please forgive me.
I'm having a slightly difficult time in church myself - not the same problem, but a more minor one. It is an issue that one person demonstrates, that is pretty much publicly obvious to everyone. The priest has corrected the person. And the person has given me just slightly a hard time - teasing maybe really? - on the issue. I think my behavior is as it should be, but I am unsure how to respond to the person. And I am trying to mentally remove myself from the situation entirely so I am not faced with having critical thoughts toward someone - but it's near-impossible to pretend not to see/hear what's right in front of you.
I'm sorry. I was hoping some discussion of principle might prove helpful. But I did not wish to ask what was inappropriate. Please do forgive me.
