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.
