《中英對照讀新聞》Italians who had sex in church confessional repent 在教堂告解室做愛的義大利人感到懺悔

◎羅彥傑

An Italian couple who were caught having sex in a church confessional box while morning Mass was being said have repented and made peace with the local bishop.

被抓到趁晨間彌撒在教堂告解室做愛的一對義大利夫婦,據說已表達懺悔,而且與當地的主教和解。

The couple, in their early 30s, were detained by police earlier this month after they had made love in the confessional box in the cathedral in northern Cesena. They were cautioned for obscene acts in public and disturbing a religious function.

這對年紀在30歲出頭的夫妻,是因為在切塞納北部教堂的告解室做愛,於本月初遭到警方扣押。他們因為在公共場所行為不檢及擾亂宗教儀式而遭到告誡。

Their lawyer said they had been drinking all night and realised they had gone too far.

他們的律師說,他們通宵飲酒,後來才曉得自己做得太過分了。

The lawyer told the area’s local newspaper on Wednesday that the couple met with the local bishop on Tuesday night, asked for his forgiveness and that he had given it.

這名律師週三告訴這個地方的本地報紙,這對夫妻在週二晚間與本地主教會面,請求獲得他的寬恕,而他也給予寬恕。

Last week the bishop celebrated a "Mass of reparation" in the cathedral to make up for the sacrilege.

這位主教上週在這間教堂主持一場「補償彌撒」,以彌補此一褻瀆神的行為。
