[QUOTE="discombobulated1, post: 77662307, member: 455320"] But I am interested in their particular stories. Here's one of mine: I went to confession once to an out of town priest because my regular priest was gone. The unfamiliar priest didn't even hear 2 sentences, literally, before jumping on me in an agitated way, and God knows why but he began recommending psych drugs, of all things! He didn't know me from Adam and besides, was a priest, not a shrink. The other priest he was taking the place of? He wasn't any better. I mean, I began to wonder: What the devil is wrong with priests these days? When I was young, the priests I knew were cool, for lack of a better word. They exhibited charity. This one was really friendly and we had him to dinner once. The regular priest once said that it doesn't matter whether you are Catholic or not! He said that if you are raised Baptist or whatever, well, I can't recall exact words but thegist of it was that you don't have to become Catholic! Well, Jesus only established ONE Church and the only Church that goes back to the Beginning is the Catholic Church, which began to be called that in AD 107 (probably earlier, but we know how documents don't always survive thousands of years). And Jesus specifically said that there is only ONE way to Heaven and it is HIM, which means His Church, not the human ones that came after the 16th century. Anyway, again, I was wondering about other Catholics. Why are they seemingly reluctant to tell"bad priest" stories, for example? [/QUOTE]
