To be fair, Boswell's hypothesis (the basis for this article) has been repeatedly repudiated, and the historical basis for these saints is questionable (as no evidence of them or their activities exists for more than a hundred years after their deaths). Regardless, the precise nature of their relationship is not known and not even really indicated until 600+ years after their death. Also, the Vatican's position should be explored using their documentation rather than the potentially aberrent behavior of priests in the Catholic church. 

This does bring up interesting ideas though, as it seems at least possible if not likely that there were groups of Christian leaders who have been debating this for millinea. At the very least we join in the conversation. I have not been able to find any of these documents online and I don't have access to the libraries that are likely to hold them. I would be very interested in finding the documents themselves if you know where they can be found.
