Powerful story of what happens when a priest starts reading the Bible ...All Catholic priests do read the Bible, every day at Mass (and on their own as well).
The most difficult repentance for us dyed-in-the-wool Catholics is changing our mind from thoughts of "meriting," "earning," "being good enough," simply to accepting with empty hands the gift of righteousness in Christ Jesus.
I do not believe that any "former priest" wrote those false and phony words.
“When a priest starts reading the Bible.”
I have a friend who works at the archdiocese and arranges for daily masses there. She is disgusted with some of the clergy who seem to have forgotten a lot of their education when they preside, some clergy who have never volunteered to do a mass for their co-workers in years of working there, and some who are downright surprised when she mentions Jesus in the context of conducting office business.
(Not everybody is like that. She works with some really excellent priests, too.)
I have no idea whether this story is true or not, but I don’t underestimate the potential for ordained priests to misunderstand or forget what they’re supposed to know and care about.
Out of context in in sound bites
And they have to read it before mass to do the homily. What A crock of bull crap. This man has quite a mental problem. It’s like a non catholic help write this drivel.
