If a married man fucks a catholic?
What exactly happens if a married man fucks a catholic?

The Catholic might be the married man’s wife, so, presumably it’s fine?
It’s not my fave Richey lyric by a long shot.

think about the reasoning that follows ("does that mean you have gone to seed? or does that mean you owe him nothing?"); things are that bad in a relationship so as to fuck a catholic? a catholic might not be seen as being as sexual liberated as they abide within a constrained religion.
additionally catholics were prohibited from divorce within the doctrine; so if your partner is cheating with someone who can't divorce then that is a more complicated quandary. there is a pecking order even in christian denominations; catholics might be seen by some to being more repressed. (unless you're clergy where the organisation permitted 5% to commit more than cardinal sin.) isn't this besides the point? who is asking these questions? i like to think it's jackie collins asking these rhetorical questions. all this happening in the summer of '76, or '83-onwards looking back on '76 when jackie was at the height of her powers Last edited by taxexile; 09-01-2020 at 20:15. |

None of it makes any sense. I'm sure he was drunk. |

I thought the lyrics were about ridiculing issues and questions that have no actual meaning, rather than the song not making sense.

Not really a criticism so much as an observation. I'm very glad they did the album. |

Does that make him unfaithful....cos he fucked a Catholic
Existential headache The world is full of married men to quoteth Jackie Collins Maybe it's about society's attitudes to sex.... Or maybe he was working his way through Jackie Collins...nothing wrong with existential escapism....

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that. I must admit that I don't listen to JFPL much. I loved it when it first came out but I tried to relisten a few years ago, and it was lyrics like this one we're discussing that made me switch it off quite quickly. I'm a bad Richey fan these days I guess!
