I’m trying to point out that teachers have nothing do with Catholic Priests, how did that even get started?Teachers are people. Catholic Priests are people.
Well that was really deep. This thread is sure lowering the expectations and status of the leaders of the Catholic church.
Agreed. However teachers do not hear confessions, bind and loose sins, and reside and call upon sacraments as Catholic doctrine expresses. In your church priests are intercessors for the laity with Christ Jesus. They, I would expect, should be held to a much higher standard of conduct given the laity rely on their intercession for salvation according to your doctrine. But it seems many here are comfortable the Roman Catholic clergy are “not as bad” as the liberal leftists teaching in secular schools.
It is not my point that priests need to be perfect. They are not. They are fallible men who sin as we do. However your church puts so much on their shoulders to not only shepherd but perform the intercessions which your tradition says is required for salvation and participation in the holy sacraments.
