A priest must be entirely for God
A priest must be entirely for God ... For this the Church clothes him in a long tunic
The priests cassock must show that the consecrated minister has almost no body and is turned to God with all his heart, seeking only the salvation of souls. Now, if the priests cassock has a worldly cut, if his head is styled fashionably with fringes and even perfumed curls, if under a scanty soutane you can see trousers
what then can a Priest represent for his people? That kind of exteriority does not favour him, and in itself is a very evident sign of too little spirituality and scarce renunciation of the world.
If he dresses fashionably, he extinguishes his light and shows himself far from the souls race towards God.
(From In the radius of the greatness of the priestly life by Dain Cohenel [pseudonym of Don Dolindo Ruotolo] published 1940)

So strange that the first thing that comes to mind when I hear PRIEST....is pedophile. Sad

This year has been heartbreaking in regards to my Church.

That’s what happens when folks let Big Media form their minds.

The media didn't make it so....you got it wrong.
The fact is....the church hid it. They were common criminals.
To: Sacajaweau
This is a catholic caucus thread. Are you a Catholic?
