Therefore as "another Christ," they are entitled to whatever comforts they desire.

LOL. Yeah, even the innocent ones get the "comfort" of living alone in a old rectory, being on call 24x7 ("you're sick ... that's too bad, Father ... please come right away ... I realize it's 3am"), and having to deal with every sort of trouble sinful men and women can dig themselves into.

Not to mention having to say funeral masses for children.

And for that, they get paid well under $20,000 year, out of which they have to pay for -- among other things -- their own car, which they use for work.

And out of the pittance that's left, they can pay for "whatever comforts they desire".

Here's the comfort and ease to which "another Christ" is entitled, according to Scripture. (Executive summary: same as the first one).

Looks like fun, doesn't it? Just a barrel of laughs.

I've known too many holy priests who poured out their lives for their people until there was nothing left, to put up with any more of your vicious, unChristian slander of the Catholic priesthood as a whole.

My former pastor ministered to us until he was 84, and toward the end, he was so frail it was a bit scary to shake his hand ... you thought something might break. He's one of the holiest men I've ever met.

Part of the "comfort and ease" with which he was rewarded to have the crazies from Westboro Baptist outside his church one Sunday with a big sign that read

FAG PRIEST

I'm curious. Were you there with them?

I wasn't there. I'm not Baptist. But you know what they say...where there's smoke, there's fire.

And with the horrific number of pedophile priests in the RCC, the fire alarms have been sounding for decades.

Centuries.

Any man who calls himself "another Christ" is not of Christ, but somewhere else. Somewhere far from the truth.

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." -- Matthew 24:4-5

It doesn't seem too difficult to understand. Anyone who believes the Bible to be the inspired word of God should be equipped to rebuke those pretenders who seek the glory of God for themselves...at their peril.

And those who foolishly follow such false prophets cannot say they weren't told.

Wake up.
