    Doubtful. It is supposed to be emptied of himself and the administration of a sacrament, and it is your fault Baring. Is not the place nor the time nor the players for romance.
      Some priests have been falling in love with the woman, and when they do, often have a sabbatical and faculty to pray for God's will. Some are aware of a shift from luxury to go over and return to ministry. Others may find that it is more involved and seek to be released from their vows to be married.

    I am sure that priests fall in love, are human. The thing is, that should not be acting on it. You can request the transfer (so you do not see it) or that may limit your time with the mass and confession alone. In a traditional confessional, you can not even see the priest and the priest usually not sure who you are, so it is unlikely that he falls into one absed confession. Like everyone else, love takes time and effort, so the priest can choose where to spend their efforts more.
      A priest who wants to marry can formally leave the priesthood, but I'm not sure you can be married in a Catholic service.

    It happens. How it varies. If they are intending to become a priest of the course of action is to not act on it and reach an agreement with the relationship that is not possible. Some priests have secret affairs while. There are cases in which women to demand support and paternity testing revealed that the priest was the father. Some of them choose to become a priest, to be with the person. Just resign his priesthood. They are not obliged to remain priests. The priest of my husband was a very loved and respected by the man care for his community service for over 25 years. Then announced that it was withdrawing as he had fallen in love with a man who met at a seminar on the theology of 15 years and has to correspond with. He decided that he wanted to be with the person he loved and spend the rest of her life with him. Since that conflict with their votes as a priest the more honest course of action was for him to leave the priesthood. They bought a farm where to take unwanted animals. They had a news program with her work with horses or jointly with the numbers mean that it could not be assembled or used for work on television recently.

    <<could a Catholic priest falls in love with a woman who comes to confess?>>
      That "could" happen, but that does not mean "must" or "not" happen.
      <<what to do so if love?or falls into this never happens things?>>
      It is very unlikely this will happen. This enthusiasm is based on a physical attraction, and in most cases, the priest is unable to see who is the confessor.
      <<could to give up being a priest or marry her or how?>>
      No. The priesthood and marriage are two different professions.

    If the whole world falls in love, and it is kind of strange Catholic arrest a man and will marry.
      Could be the priest, but had to be a little controversial.
      If you stopped being a priest who had married as any Catholic would be normal.
      It may happen, but I hear about sexual abuse by a preist then usually leave their jobs.

  6. CAPS LOCK = TRUTH says:

    Well, maybe if the confession is a bad thing …
      Probably considered unethical, such as a breach of confidence, just as it is unethical to hit pshychotherapists in patients.
      But I guess the worst thing you can do to boost the rate is what the church, and since that would leave the priesthood however if you want to marry, it may not matter much at that point.

    I think u fascination may be tempted … Lust … … but no … would not be true love … Love takes time … and would not make sense after that road … unless ur unhappy truth is that being a priest … perhaps more than the underlying motivation is ur … I think it would be easy to blame a woman for being the reason why ur not a preist … when in reality .. . all their feelings about what ur … perhaps through what you are saying is that u or ur lonely … may wish to pursue the benefits of an emotional connection … but I do not think that 100% of his true love in the first reunion!

    you are a woman and a Preist. Would have to give up the priesthood before he could marry. My Priest has 8 or 9 children. But his wife died and therefore decided to join the priesthood, as they always wanted. God Bless!
