    All I'm gonna say is there are asshole priests but there are priests that are decent people. You probably shouldn't judge an individual person that you don't know based on other people in that person's profession.


    I don't like most cops but that doesn't mean there aren't good, decent cops out there.

    It used to take 8 years, 4 college & 4 theology to become a priest. Madcrappie have they shortened it to 5 years?

    i just don't understand all-inclusive hate despite evidence to the contrary. it makes no sense to think you can judge a vast collection of people based on some bad things. it would be just like saying you can judge an entire collection of people based on the good things. i say give people their individual attention. some people join groups to help change them for the better instead of rejecting them entirely. brainwashing comes in all forms, obviously.

    We have a priest living at the old folks home.
    He goes out and gets hammered, then comes back to the facility, & lies about his drinking.. He swears very loudly.
    If you mistakenly use the words 'used to be a priest' he gets very violent, & irrational. He tried to punch one of our aides in the face repeatedly one night. This guy is big too! Fortunately, his aim was off, & he only succeeded in hitting the walls.

    I think priests are people too. People perhaps expect too much of them when they refuse to except the fact that they are just as human as everyone else.

    my alcoholic dad used to do the same thing, and he was never a priest. and he still refuses to think he's not the second coming. piresthood has nothing to do with, denial and shame do.
