Yeetle Box - Absolution

A woman and man in Italy said they have apologized to church authorities for having oral sex in a cathedral confession box. To be exact, they did not apologize for the oral sex, but for the oral sex in the confessional rather than the rectory.

Via the bishop's private line, the couple requested a meeting with Cesena Archbishop Antonio Lanfranchi to say they were sorry for their indecent behavior. Lanfranchi has agreed on the condition they meet him in the confessional for absolution.

The man, 31, and woman, 32, are facing charges of indecency and the bishop had to hold a purification ceremony in the church as a result of the Sunday morning incident. The purification ceremony consisted of the traditional "burning of the testicles" in full view of the parishioners, as well as the "spitting on the floor." Both symbolize the purification of the church and the couple as fire and water are symbols of purification..

The pair's lawyer said the bishop accepted the couple's apology after their Tuesday meeting - which lasted only 5 minutes before the bishop felt they were truly sorry.

The couple's lawyer said the amorous couple ''felt better'' after ''getting it off their chests." He plans to appeal for leniency, claiming the defendants were "very drunk" after going to a rock concert and one thing led to another.

The "one thing led to another" defense has been used with great success in Italy for many centuries after the church ruled that the "Adam and Eve" defense was indefensible.
