You're correct; the Catholic Church does not approve of same-sex marriages. However, gays are human beings as well. The Catholic Church has never condoned homophobia or mistreatment of people because of their sexual orientation. There may be those within the Church that have, but they do not represent the Church as whole.

Secondly, in response to a guest reviewer. The Church has not defended priests who sexually abuse little boys. There have been priests who've done horrible things, but again that does not reflect on the church as a whole. The unfortunate truth is that there have been abusers from all walks of life. Just look at all the scandals coming out of Hollywood. Sexual abuse is evil. And, quite frankly, a priest who sexually abuses a child is, I'm going to say, maybe even worse than a lay person, simply because of their responsibility to protect the souls of those in their congregation. However, the few do not represent the many.

I read this before but it's so cute I had to read again. Yes it's kind of CK common knowledge the Catholic church doesn't approve of gay relationship's at all. But yeah don't bother changing. Glad the boys got together always happy for them. Yes Rossi more like a dad to Spencer. Very cute and sweet

Cute. Loved it.

Loved it!

Really good! Please do a sequal!

Yeah, suspend disbelief is right, the Catholic Church has long hated gays, all the while protecting priests who have sexually abused boys. I guess I just figured that the priest was a "rogue" priest who had maybe been defrocked for just that reason, performing gay weddings. Good story, they always find each other, my fav, and I might add, only slash lovers. Too many to read anyway, so spreading myself too thin if I started with any other couple. I enjoyed this a lot

Sorry it has taken me so long to find the time to read this. Loved the whole Rossi element in this, really made me smile.

Awww that was brilliant!

Change it to an Anglican Church, if you like. They do allow same sex marriages.
I liked it very much. Sperek isn't canon, but I can SO see it happening.
Loved it. So much.

Ha, the awkwardness made me LOL. This was cute and funny and in character and all those great things. You rock!

My belief was willing suspended. Or maybe disbelief. You know what I mean, right?

Thank you so much for writing this! It was good, and very sweet :)

As a Trekkie I think I'm gonna go alternate timeline/universe to make it work :)!

Seriously though, this was hilarious. It had me laughing out loud at places. It's the perfect set up to get all the elements of the challenge in and then of course there is the Morgan/Reid element. Can't go wrong with that.

I loved seeing Morgan nettling Rossi at the beginning, and how you showed both Rossi and Reid being uncomfortable about the assignment for basically the same reason. Morgan's pokes at Rossi's age and the comment about thinking Reid was pretty were my particular favorites for that section. And then there is the Reid/Garcia section. Those two are perfectly in character. " Garcia gave him a cheery smile. "Yeah! I'm looking forward to that in particular."" - that line is just perfect for Garcia! And the exchange about whether or not Reid had kissed girls was lol funny!

"I think I'll tell him I'm looking into getting an annulment," Reid said with a devilish wink as he exited. "That should get a rise out of him." - I think that had to be my all time favorite line in this story. Kind of wish we would have seen that particular moment . (Sequel maybe *wink*)!

Nice job! going on my favs list!

hahahah, great! My one thought though was that Rossi needs to go ask Hotch if he does divorces :) because he has always done that when he needed a divorce and Hotch always tells him he's not that kind of lawyer!

LOL! Great fun dear!
Hard core Catholics wouldn't be reading FanFiction anyway. HA!

I am sure there are a few more liberal Catholic Churches that would, although not a regular one.

Great chapter, hope you do a short or long follow-up. The face on Rossi would be priceless if Reid asked for an annulment.
