It's another sad day for men when a personage such as Arnold admits to adultery.
Not only does it destroy a 25 year marriage, stress and embarrass the children, give a black eye to his "family values" political party and disgrace himself, and all for what?
Powerful men, men of all ages, social status or wealth generally share the same drive to lay with women other than their current wife.
Some maintain the secret, some get a divorce, regardless of financial or social consequences, and some get caught and some take matters into their own hands.
But why voluntarily admit it? That's what I don't understand.
In our society such infidelity is wrong, and confession is good for the soul and all that but why not keep the confession between you and your priest.
I'll bet the farm that Father Joe didn't tell Arnold to go and blab this around the world or even tell his wife. He probably council ed him on the benefits of self control, promise not to do it again, say three "Our Fathers" and three "Hail Mary's" and an act of contrition.
