Not many people respect priests anymore. If priests were stronger and more authoritative than the average wimpy dudes the seminaries are putting out, more people would respect the profession. Seriously, what kind of man wants to sign up for a life time of parish council meetings run by menopausal women and effeminate men who have no power in their day jobs so they exercise it on Wednesday evenings in the local parish pastoral center?

Many priests don't even respect themselves. Many are afraid to tell people what they need to hear. Many are afraid to stand up for the Church and Her teachings. Many have as their main goal, to be popular and well liked. For many, salvation of souls is secondary.

Please note, I said many priests, not all priests. Unlike the ICEL, I can distinguish between many and all.

Come back to the Church. I can't take you seriously until you do.
