I was intending to write about my story at the Alice and the Rock. But no, this article seems to capture my mind at the moment. After deleting and picking the 100+ emails to read and catch up on....I got to the Catholic News and this article on this nutty priest with his nutty theory
http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=9772
From this, I see strong evidence (not conclusive proves) that we have 3 crazy priests. Amongst the many reasons some you would notice at first glance: -
1. They either don't read or they fail to understand the Bible in its context
2. They have not learnt or understand CCC (Catholic Catechism)
3. Further, they don't know Christianity or have a view DIFFERENT to Christianity, let alone the Catholic branch of Christianity
4. It never bothered them that they are saying vows to a religion which has different views to them
No wonder people think Catholics are crazy. Even I think these priests are.
Am I damaging my own religion? No. Rather, it is our duty to look after our Church and make sure we don't confuse those who are ALREADY confuse about God and life itself. Someone has to be responsible for taking care of the conducts and obviously it won't be those outside the Church because that's just stupid.
