Robert Pattison twilight star and catholic morality

[Adamski]

I saw a video on tv with Robert Pattison the lead in twilight saying the reason he took the lead in twilight is because as a practing catholic who is waiting until marriage the movie series character did the same thing.

Waiting until marriage…for…?
Not to have sex, I don’t think. He’s been living with his girlfriend for a year or two…and I don’t think as brother and sister.

That was my first thought too.

Yes that’s the video that was on tv

We should not make assumptions.

Then again, there’s lots of incest in the bible…so maybe it could still be considered like “brother and sister”?

Cheeky.

 

[VeritasLuxMea]

Well, they’ve been photographed kissing passionately on the lips a lot. I don’t know about others, but i sure don’t kiss my brother like that. Then again, there’s lots of incest in the bible…so maybe it could still be considered like “brother and sister”?

Kissing passionately on the lips is not the same thing as having pre-marital sex. Living with a boyfriend/girlfriend is not the same thing as having pre-marital sex.

We can go back and forth as to whether those things are wrong and to what degree, but neither of them is the same as having pre-marital sex, so…

 

[PatriceA]

Yeah, I agree. Kissing and sex, two different things.
My response, tho, was if their relationship was like a chaste brother-and-sister duo.
Doesn’t look like it is.

Maybe we shouldn’t speculate until he confirms otherwise. Not saying one way or the other, but still you’re buying into the Hollywood gossip if you want to discuss what goes on in his personal life.

I’ve heard they’ve since broken up because of her cheating on him. I’m not sure if that’s true. But whatever the case, I think Edward is a terrible argument for morality. He’s about a century old and he’s dating an 18 year old girl!
