Yes, that is what happened.
But you see, it is unique to me and my experiences with religion throughout my life. I have always had trouble with authority, and as a child I went to a jesuit high school.
Didn’t work out so well, I was an ass at the time, ended up becoming an atheist and such. Eventually though, I started to find my way back to God as well as church.
Ended up going to an episcopalian church where this reverend was. He was a married man, and he did much to renew my faith I suppose.
He was also the former disciplinarian for a school for troubled boys. Then one day, as I entered the church, he tried to kiss me straight on my lips. I thought I had misinterpreted what happened, didn’t see it right or something. Went back to church about a month later, and he blew kisses at me loudly in front of a number of people.
That was the last time I went to church. Actions have consequences. As far as I can tell from this and a couple of other experiences, it seems to me that the clergy is full of perverts, and there is nothing for me there.
I worship and love The Lord in my own heart and mind. I don’t need anyone at all to help me do that.
In re: your experience with the repulsive “priest” -
“The gospel’s most dangerous earthly adversaries are not raving atheists who stand outside the door shouting threats and insults. They are church leaders who cultivate a gentle, friendly, pious demeanor but hack away at the foundations of faith under the guise of keeping in step with a changing world.
No Christian should naively imagine that heresy is always conspicuous or that every purveyor of theological mischief will lay out his agenda in plain and honest terms. The enemy prefers to sow tares secretly for obvious reasons. Thus Scripture expressly warns us to be on guard against false teachers who creep into the church unnoticed (Jude 4); wolves who sneak into the flock wearing sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15); and servants of Satan who disguise themselves as angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).”

I post it to encourage you that God condemns this “priest’s” behavior and has warned us all about such “priests.”
I hope some day you will enjoy the real joy that comes from being in a good fellowship with a REAL pastor.
