The Bible teaches about the virtues of turning the other cheek, which means submitting to those who wrong you, for you shall be rewarded one day.

But a Catholic priest in Western Kenya has a more nuanced interpretation: men with unsupportive spouses should waste no time and take a second wife!

Ordinarily, I’d be inclined to fact-check the source of such wisdom, seeing that the priest wouldn’t be speaking out of experience. After all, his job description precludes marriage. And those who do are kicked out of the church.
