DEAR HARRIETTE: Every time I see a particular woman in my wife's friend group, she looks at me, says hello and asks my name. I want to say that I have been in her company for a good 15 years — though not closely. We do go to the same parties every year and share many of the same friends and associates. I find it baffling that this woman doesn't ever recognize me. I see her anywhere from five to 10 times a year.

When popes talk about sex, it tends to make headlines. This was certainly true when Pope Francis told the Associated Press last month, 'Being homosexual isn't a crime.' He said the Catholic Church opposes criminalizing homosexuality and that, 'We are all children of God, and God loves us as we are.' The pope then noted that homosexual activity is 'not a crime. Yes, but it's a sin.'
