Memories of another reason in the long list of reasons I quit the Catholic church in 8th grade. The priest was angry the kids had bangs so instead of moving them over or having the kids hold their hair out of the way, he put a line, not even a cross down their noses.

With all due respect, it seems rather petty--both of the priest who allegedly did this, and someone who would leave the Church Christ himself founded over such a small thing. To know that Christ's Church is filled with imperfect human beings is no big revelation. Christ himself told us it would be so.

too bad you made a choice about church based on one man/priest’s action, anger.

I am sorry that you left...those types of priests are pretty much dead and gone. I pray
you will return to the Mass someday.
