“She verified her posts, claiming both a two-plus-year direct relationship with Father Euteneuer based on an ongoing exorcism case involving a family member, as well as what both she and her husband claim was a Dec. 23rd phone conversation with an HLI board member who told them that Euteneuer’s Aug. 27 recall from HLI came as a result of letters sent by two women to the priest’s presiding bishop claiming sexual indiscretions by Euteneuer against them.”

Sexual indiscretions that ALSO didn't involve “the” sexual act?

And yes “The violations of chastity happened due to human weakness but did not involve the sexual act” is not the words of a contrite man, but one saying ‘What I did was wrong, but it wasn't THAT bad’ (i.e. as bad as “the” sexual act would have been presumably).

I think you may be trying to graduate the sin to the sex act, to make this add up, when in reality for a Catholic priest he is held to a higher standard, and held far more accountable for much less. His accusers probably know this.

I am not saying that it is not possible that he is lying, but he is held to just as much accountability for having done far less, so to him it is going to be just as penalizing.

Using hearsay? LOL! The article that you excerpted from was written before his statement, his bishop’s statement, and HLI’s statement came out.
