Well I do imagine my question was silly, and very shallow. I do know of course, it depends upon the priest as a person. I have experienced bad and good in ministers as well. Once while on tour for my college I had a seemingly very nice young minister to ask me out for a late supper. Scheduling didn't allow it. A few months later that guy showed up at college for a alumni reunion, with his WIFE!?!! I approached him and told him what a creep he was! He left town immediately. That guy went on to pastor a church in Illinois I heard. There are good and bad in all denominations of course.

I asked that silly question because the news anchors were even commenting on the priest and how he didn't fit the usual ideal of a priest. One teased about becoming Catholic. He laughed and said he got that reaction a lot. Since he was all "that" I wondered if he had problems with young ladies coming to confession not really interested in religion or salvation, but just to get to talk to him.

I thought you asked a very good question. I felt that your question was NOT silly or shallow. I agree that there are good and bad in all denominations.

All I kept thinking was WOW, Catie, it's a good thing your schedule didn't permit you to have that late supper with that young minister. He was really a JERK! Wonder if his wife ever found out what a jerk he is and divorced him?
