And the story goes...

Thank you for your comments on the question and for all the thoughts you had about the story, but didn't put in here.
What is my opinion? Well, it's true that human beings are only human beings sometimes, and no-one lives without struggles. I think we learn about ourselves for our whole life and we cannot ever say: in this situation I would do this or that, because we just don't know it for sure until we face the situation...
More about religion - apparently the story was told on a theological conference and the same question was asked. One of the representatives of Church condemned the couple severely, and the other called him apparently a "fascist bastard"... What I am trying to say here is, I think, that Chrisitianity contains a huge variety of beliefs, worldviews and attitudes to tradition, scriptures and personal experience... It's not possible (and hardly ever was) to talk about Christianity like it is a monolithic religion, same for all its followers. I think that today this mixture is even more diverse than ever before, partly because in the late XX century people started choosing their personal experience, thoughts, interpretation, feelings over one shared tradition. I guess for someone from a diffeernt religious or cultural background it would be hard to embrace Christianity as a whole! I wish though it could re-unite one day, in its very basic fundaments. Probably that's way the spirit of Taizé community is so close to my heart.
