My Life in Argentina and Beyond

I think that the fact that this is a sex drenched society has nothing to do with how ridiculous the Celibacy Ruling is. Priests having lovers and girlfriends on the side is something that has gone on for centuries. There is nothing new about someone wanting and needing love. Eugenia Renskoff

I know only too well what the former Reverend Bob, now married, is talking about. And about Padre Cutie. The priest I fell in love with in Argentina was very good looking. I am sorry to say that we gave each other up. Ms. Paliekiera interviewed me in March about my novel Different Flags and the real life story behind it. Eugenia Renskoff

know full well about the complications of a man and a woman falling in love if the man is a priest. Please google my novel Different Flags. It is the story of my Forbidden Love. What I care about is people. The rest, all about rules and regulations is not important. Once you have fallen in love, it is too late to think about such things. Besides, if the Pope or whoever wanted to, they could allow optional Celibacy. Not every priest is going to find a woman who will love him.

As a woman who was once very much in love with a Catholic priest and who wanted to marry him, anything that can help do away with Priestly Celibacy is welcome. I am also completing the screenplay based on my novel Different Flags. DF narrates my feelings as a woman in love with a priest. Eugenia Renskoff

I believe that it is time for Optional Celibacy. I also believe that it will come. It's going to happen. People, whther they are priests or not, are going to fall in love. If they fall in love, they will want to be with that person. It is a very painful experience and I would not want anyone to go through it.

It will take a long time to get used to it, but it's in the future. There are many priests from well to do or rich families. Most mothers from those families do not want priest sons. I have known/heard of a few. Statistics will not work as far as I am concerned. The experiences of real people with similar experiences are what I most care about.
