Next time you want somebody to talk to about your marriage troubles, you might be better off confiding in a bartender than to your local Catholic priest. At least, that's the way it turned out for one very disillusioned Joliet, Illinois man.
When he and his wife started having difficulties in their relationship, the couple opted to go to their priest for counseling, with the hopes it would help improve things between them. At first, their counseling sessions were held in the sanctity of the church rectory and the two were counseled together. However, perhaps the husband should have been a little suspect when the seemingly sincere priest suggested counseling the wife individually.
Thinking things were improving, the dude went on a church trip with his wife to Rome, where he believed their wedding vows would be renewed, except that she hit him with a request for divorce. He later discovered that his spouse and their sainted "counselor" had fallen for each other. The priest is no longer a priest and is "living in sin" with his former congregant.
Naturally, the husband is angry as a hornet on a hot roof and has filed suit against the horrendous holy man.
