Thankfully, priests are better trained and more knowledgeable than you apparently are.
Neither of your posts to me made sense, we know that the taxes are collected for Protestant churches also, the thread is about the Catholic church’s religious actions taken against non-compliant Catholics, such as refusing them confession.
As far as humans knowing life and death with certainty when someone is ill, and Priests, I have know a lot of Priests, and that is why I made my statement, “I don’t know how a Priest can determine with certainty whether a baptized Catholic is in danger of dying from illness, or whether he should even be trying to do so, over taxes.”
Rather than just insult me, explain it to me.
