..... the priest, a guy about my age, ...

Until I know what that age is, I'm willing to cut the priest some slack.

If you have never been married, and never had children, you do not have a clue.

Guess that rules Jesus out. Thanks for playing.

Since Jesus is God incarnate and was present during creation, as all things were made through Him, I'd say He's not to be held to the same standards as we would hold man.

I respect that you might believe differently.

It’s the obligatory slapshot by a mindless drone.

So according to your way of thinking...

A man can’t be a obstetrician because he can’t get pregnant.

And if you’ve never had cancer, you can’t be an oncologist.

You can’t be a historian unless you experienced the event.

or...

Unless you’re black, you don’t understand racism.

That's what I thought.

You can’t be serious. Dante never left Rome but he knew the world. And if you’d been watching recent crime documentaries you’d know of pastors killing one another over adultery etc., to say nothing of the in-laws and issues of inheritance and property claims like what’s going on at Annaheim’s Crystal Cathedral. You don’t have to be married to know about issues of morality and scripture.

Luther was an ordained priest.

As “Mass” progressed I was both disappointed and annoyed. I wasn’t angry. I learned the trick long ago of moving into emotional “cruise control” when this stuff starts to happen. [...]

That's a discipline I wish I could develop. Whenever I'm present at a 'Mass'' such as this I leave in a state far removed from the State of Grace I should be in after Mass!

My wife and I vacation every year at a lake in SW VA and I have ceased attending Mass at all while I'm out there because I can't find anyplace to attend that doesn't leave feeling like I missed Mass.

This morning I attended Mass rather than concelebrated Mass. Earlier in the week I was unable to find a Saturday morning Mass anywhere in the area so I was pretty much going to have to miss Mass today.

Why would he miss Mass? Does he mean he'd miss a public Mass? Don't priests still carry a Mass kit with them so they can celebrate Mass everyday no matter where they are?

I never heard of a bishop who would miss Mass because he couldn't find a convenient one that meets his schedule...change your schedule if you must.
