I will show you.
You said: You are surely not telling me that extreme pressure is and has not been put upon many a young man to fulfill his mama and papas dreams of becoming a priest, the height of prestige in the Catholic Church - which means that he HAS TO REMAIN CELIBATE. So, priests are DISALLOWED to marry and it has wreaked havoc on that organization and cost millions of hard earned dollars that ordinary, poor parishioners lovingly placed in the collection plates. Im sorry, but it is disgusting.
That is BS.
When we revert to corrupt communication coming out of our mouths (as in your “BS” comment), we have begun to doubt our own argument. BS clearly means “bullsh!t”, so don’t toy with me.
Simply admitting the possiblity that our sacred cows stink to high heaven isn’t easy, is it? What do you think Jesus would say about a stinking sacred cow - whatever it might be? - Only the Truth can clean up a situation. Hiding behind data and statistics, or the old “well, they ALL do it!” reply won’t clean up anything. Until the lay persons rise up in unison and demand accountability, it won’t happen; and most lay persons are powerless in the face of a hierarchy which they think to be “God’s men”. (This is also true of the “pastor/priest” in the Protestant arena.) Power is so heady. - Just ask Hillary!
