I don't know what to think about your story. Poignant or shocking? Maybe both.

... though maybe a touch irreverant to the dear man..... Wonderful though it may have been, he'd never have allowed it - for which I think the Catholic church is in error.
You call this a love story? It was just plain freaky. Why didn't you have them falling deep in love while Barbara lived with him. A mutual love , where they were together under the same roof and sharing the same bed (without the mother there). THis ending was grossly disrespectful. TO have the two woman doing that to him on his death bed, without ever having a sexual relationship with him before the hospital encounter. It didn't feel like a love story while reading it.
I'm holding off on voting. I usually have no issue with taboo stories, but this just really seemed like a violation of the priest -- just as it would have been if he'd touched a parishioner in a coma.
Still it was not badly written. I just couldn't get beyond the plot point.
love reading about priest and nuns. Could have more details about the sex.
