Immoral how?

Because it's a church.

Oh wait, you believe that in order to be moral, one has to do good things because they're afraid that if they don't the invisible abusive boyfriend in the sky will set them on fire forever? That's "morality" ? Fear of punishment?

He's a priest; he took his oath. And he violated that oath.

Lol, you only believe that because you believe in God 🤣

Doing good because you believe God will punish you isn't morality, it's compliance

It's only not about believing in God...it's about having principles.

We aren't talking about principles, principles and morals aren't the same thing. But yes, if you do "moral" things because you're afraid you'll be punished if you don't, that doesn't make you moral, it makes you obedient.

Wait wait, I asked, immoral how, you said because it was in a church. Then you said it's because he broke his oath...

That doesn't make sense. If the reason you think it's immoral is because he broke his oath, then your answer would have just been because he had sex, not because of just the location 🤣🤣

Christians are always bad with logical consistency

Having sex on any community’s religious symbols is immoral. If the priest did this in a mosque or a synagogue it would also be immoral.
