(CNN) -- A man and a woman have been charged by police in Italy after they were found having sex in a confession box, it was reported Wednesday.

The Italian ANSA news agency said the young man and woman were taken into custody by police in the northern city of Cesena following a telephone complaint from a man attending morning Mass in the city's cathedral.

Authorities were alerted after a parishoner heard "rustling and groaning" coming from inside the confession box and pulled back the curtains to reveal a goth-rock couple engaged in oral sex, ANSA said.

The agency said the pair -- a 31-year-old laborer and a 32-year-old teacher -- defended their conduct saying: "We are atheists and for us, having sex in church is like doing it any other place."

However, Bishop Antonio Lanfranchi of Cesena-Sarsina took said the couple's behavior was "an outrage of notable proportions which bespeaks unutterable squalor."

1. Gotta agree with the Bishop on this one

Dammit, get a ROOM!

2. They must have been playing Priest and Altar Boy. nt

3. Forgive me, father, for I am sinning

This was pretty reprehensible behaviour, and their excuse won't convince anyone. But the bishop's comment seems over the top, and almost guaranteed to encourage other goths. "Outrage? Unutterable squalor? Cool, we must try it!"

4. The "atheist" defense for having sex in a public place is interesting

"We are atheists and for us, having sex in the produce aisle is like doing it in any other place." I don't know about "unutterable squalor", but definitely gross and tacky.

5. I'll keep my sex life out of your church if

You'll keep your church out of my sex life.

6. Baha!

:spray:

That's a great idea for getting religious whacks to stop opposing all forms of birth control. "Stop it or we'll start fucking in your churches!"

10. ROFL n/t

7. Yeah, there is obviously some other issue at work here,

fucking in church is some recognition of the power of church and god and religion. It would never occur to me to do it. In a car? on the beach? But in church sounds like these "goths" are trying to exorcise some ground in beliefs.

12. I'll admit it.

I've wanted to do that myself. Just can't get a partner to go along with it.

Actually, there was this Suicide Girl who was down with doing it in a cemetery, but she blew town before we ever got a chance. It's probably just as well; that'd be behavior seriously unbecoming of, well, anybody.

8. Sounds fun.

"an outrage of notable proportions which bespeaks unutterable squalor." Oh please!! sex in a confession booth is nothing compared to the countless numbers of people the church has tortured and murdered.

9. Oh come on. That was just a little bloodshed.

But this...this...this is SEX! Oh the horrors...

[moggie]

11. It might lead to... to... to DANCING!

[progressoid]

13. A 32 yr old goth rock atheist teacher.

You don't see that everyday.

Let alone having sex in a confession booth.

[onager]

14. Did anyone get her phone number?

I'm just doing research...

[comrade snarky]

15. That's terrible

Awful, disrespectful, blasphemous and wrong.

You have to go through the whole church first to make sure you're alone the way my wife and I did. :evilgrin:
