I forgot to include this in my previous reply:

We are ALL called to sanctity and holiness, Orual, not just priests and those in orders.

Please, sinkspur, get real. If you think you are on a equal basis of sanctity and holiness with a priest, then you possess an arrogance beyond my comprehension. You know exactly what I mean - priests are held to a much stricter standard of behavior than we are because their work is to inspire us to become the best we are capable of, hopefully, by setting a perfect example for us. We follow, they lead.

Your comprehension is obviously limited, as you do not recognize the holiness that ordinary laymen like you can achieve, as compared to the mundane spiritual life that most priests achieve.

You've got an inordinate view of priestly sanctity.

I don't follow any priest. I'm as educated as most of them, and have more life experiences than many of them.

As I said before, you have an aberrational view of the holiness of the priesthood.
