GREG and JULIE ALEXANDER'S story is called: "Sex, Lies, and the Catholic Church"
This tells Greg and Julie's true story of being entrapped by the 1980's era of the so - called American Catholic Church while attending St. Edward's University together in Austin, Texas, starting in 1984.
Page 41:
"GREG: We met in college in 1984, at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas.
"St. Edward's was a Catholic University, but that had nothing to do with our choosing to go there.
"I was there only because I had a basket ball scholarship."
"JULIE: My parents were excited about St. Edward's because it was a Catholic school, but I chose it because I liked Austin.
"There was a church on campus, but our Faith was not a part of who we were.
"I went to Mass because I was afraid that my dad would find out that I was not going."
"GREG: I felt obligated to go to Mass because I was dating Julie.
"But from the beginning, almost everything that we did was incompatible with the Faith.
"Premarital sex, living together, chasing after money and material things."
"JULIE: I was doing what everyone else was doing, so I did not think I was doing anything wrong.
"I certainly didn't know I had to confess premarital sex or living together.
"I didn't think about the way we were living..."
Then, one fine day came and it was like this:
"WE NEED TO GET A DIVORCE !!"
"JULIE: We even called the kids into the room and told them.
"They were seven and nine.
"The news devastated them.
"I remember them both balled up in a corner, crying...."
