"Anyone thinking about becoming a priest today needs to learn how to deal and talk with strident liberals, homosexuals, and wide variety of odd characters."

In other words priests need to succumb to the holy grail of political correctness?

No. Rather, pastors need to know how to talk to all sinners in a way that might catch their mind and win it over to repentance and life in Christ. Christ did not walk up to every sinner and condemn them cold. Rather, he befriended them, showed them his compassion and empathy and then leveled with them about the wagesof sin.
