You have to know that it is scandal for a priest to act in these ways. A lot of times we feel that if we leave that will solve the problem...but the nature of sacrifice for his soul and the other souls he is responsible for is to challenge him with love (sometimes this takes a couple days to cool off with prayer). You are not the only one that feels that way...remember that. Remember to pray for all priests daily and if you see anything...think of what Christ would see in what is happening, then you will know what to do. If they don't respond, go to their vicar, superior or priest administration in your archdiocese.

Been there...don't give up, offer it up.
Praying for you and all of us.

Thank you...

For a long time, I did think it was just me (actually us). Hubby and I talked and we were trying to understand what happened... One week, everything was fine, the next, wow, new priest and things changed.

But we stayed for over a year there, talking to others and listening, watching. I'll admit we never did directly confront him. We found another place where it was fine for awhile, then same thing.

I should have done something at the time, but much of it was that I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. No excuse, I know.
