[Tell It Right]

As long as Catholics believe priests to be the unavoidable link between them and God, there will always be those tempted to exploit that relationship.

Amen and that is exactly why the laity puts up with it

Unless it’s their child

I was born, raised and educated in my hometown in Germany. I am catholic and in our school we had twice a week religious studies. (Tuesday and Friday) The Lutherans had in one room, and we the Catholics had in another room. On Tuesday we studied the Catechism and on Friday the Bible.

I remember that we studied Genesis and our priest told us that we should never pretend to be God. We were six and seven years old, and I guess he thought we didn't get what he meant, so he pretended to be God.

A few days later there was an obituary in our newspaper that he had died.. I often wonder it was because he had pretended to be God?
