Sir: When a Catholic priest, or even bishop, is known to have consorted with a woman, all opprobrium is heaped on him. No one says that she is at least equally responsible.

Every Catholic woman should be aware that a priest is a man dedicated to God, and should maintain the same reserve that she would have in dealing with another woman's husband.
