Perhaps, but I was self-conscious enough about dressing different from everybody else

Your hurt feelings really don't matter. Let leftists whine about their feelings.

Pushing, laying hands on, a priest is simply wrong.

Unless a priest is actually trying to kill or physically injure you there is no reason to ever put your hands on him.

This kind of behavior is simply vile, disgusting, beneath contempt.

I'm not suggesting that I'm proud of what I did. Thankfully, I've come to the Lord since then and this, and other sins, have been forgiven. But don't you think that words like "vile, disgusting, beneath contempt" are a bit too harsh? There I was, a life-long Catholic who was going out of her way, literally, to attend Mass and I'm been turned out at the door because I don't follow the "dress code" (which I couldn't do, given the circumstances). Yeah, there are more Christian responses than mine, but save some of your self-righteous indignation for the priest who was turning people out at the door! On the other hand, we know that everything works for the good of those who love God, don't we? That priest was the straw that broke the camel's back and I stopped going to church. I was not happy that way, so when a friend to whom I had confided my story invited me to worship at his Southern Baptist church, I accepted. It was the best thing that has ever happened to me! Now I am a baptized believer, not because of my parents decissions but my own, I study the Bible regularly, teach a Sunday school class... The Lord brought me home through a very hurtful experience, and I thank Him every day!
