Just Curious about Desi's beliefs... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok...don't jump on me or anything but I remember reading on here that Desi got a reconciliation on the first divorce because he was Catholic and it is all against the Catholic church to get a divorce...but isn't it against the Catholic church to commit adultry because I remember that being one of the ten commandments? I was just curious because this doesn't make sense to me that he believed in the Catholic church enough to get a reconciliation but not enough to stay faithful?? This is just out of curiosity and trying to get all the questions answered with other opinions so don't get mad...

I'm not Catholic and I sure don't know anything about it, but from my experience, many Catholics (and people of other religions as well) are only Catholic when they feel like it or it will benefit them. I really doubt Desi was a faithful Catholic.

Divorce is not 'allowed' on the Catholic faith as adultery is not either but I think that he went more for his family traditions of hanging out with prostitues than his faith on that case. He followed both his earthly beliefs and his faith to an extent. Probably Lucy wouldn't do certain things so he had to depend on someone else to get it done?

Such as Cesar Romero?!

Sorry. That was below the belt.

And that didn't really come out the way it was planned either...

Look at it this way. The Mafia claim to be Catholics, and donate a lot of money to the Church - but I seem to remember it being pretty much forbidden to kill people! Everybody (well, most people anyway) follows their Faith in a lot of different ways, basically interpreting things to best suit themselves. Adultery, according to the Islamic faith, is one of the worst sins you can commit, but Catholics don't seem to have worried about it all that much in years. It's one of those things that's just officially frowned on, like divorce.

Practically everybody in Hollywood seems to claim to be Catholic - and yet practically everybody in Hollywood seems to be committing adultery with each other. The Pope can't excommunicate all of them!

Or maybe he can, I don't know.

The Pope needs to "ex" himself if we go there too. Just because he's Catholic and he's the POPE doesnt mean he's a saint

SPLAIN · 10-28-2003, 02:12 PM

Those were great Mickey, doing stand up anywhere? LOL! And Karen, i doubt that there was anything Lucy would NOT do, Hollywood actors are a versatile bunch, he was just looking for variety and youth i guess.

Kazza · 10-28-2003, 02:16 PM

Looking for something different was already on him because he was following his father's example to an extent

What kind of family tradition is that???

Kazza · 10-28-2003, 02:49 PM

The one that he was taught by his father

SPLAIN · 10-28-2003, 03:40 PM

I never did get the hang of that one, if a man does it, he's macho, if a woman does it, she's, well, you know, it's just not right and you'd think it would have changed by now!

Mickey · 10-28-2003, 03:46 PM

It's ridiculously outdated, yes, but men like to insist that they need it more! Hence the suggestion that it's more understandable if they stray. How far that works in practice, of course, is an entirely different question!

SPLAIN · 10-28-2003, 04:03 PM

I really meant the societal idea that a woman is a tramp if she's had too many speriences as Ricky would say, yet if a man does that, we look up to him.

crazyredhead · 10-28-2003, 04:40 PM

I know Desi was a faithful believer in God from what his kids say and his book..but his life doesn't show it.

SPLAIN · 10-28-2003, 04:44 PM

Hey crazy, did you get the tape yet? It left yesterday you know! And i agree about what you said about Desi, he just could not control his URGES, that's all!

crazyredhead · 10-28-2003, 04:57 PM

Yeah..leave it to Sex-Engine Desi. lol That's what I call him.
