Priests in Love (10 of 11): Chance Encounter.



From Jane Anderson’s “Priest in Love: Roman Catholic Clergy and Their Intimate Friendships” (a book of interviews with Australian priests) (p. 186):

Fr. David also recounts a situation where he and his friend, Ruth, had been walking together late one night and encountered his bishop in the company of “a lady friend.”  The bishop just looked ahead stony faced and neither priest nor bishop acknowledged each other: “we were like ships passing in the night!”
