Glad I can help brighten something up.
Oh, if only that was all I had to do on any given day. My one release is the internet, and even that I can usually only retreat into early in the morning prior to the beginning of my day or now, late at night. My activities are many and varied, and it is a vocation that I dearly feel blessed with every day. Beyond the sacramental functions, baptism, weddings, confirmations, there are visitations to homes and hospitals; ministries to Senior's Residences, etc..etc..etc...
I remember, a few years ago, doing a baptism. After which there was the obligatory visit to the reception the family held. Before dinner I went to the men's room and was doing my business at the urinal when a little boy of around 10 and his dad came into the washroom. The little boy stood looking at me for a second and then said to his day, in a very loud voice ,"daddy, the priest is peeing just like a real man!"... I remember this because of how hard I laughed. There is an expectation that somehow we are above the normal needs of other men, and certainly after Mass we must be put into a closet until next Sunday
Certainly mapleleafgirl, but please allow me to do so tomorrow morning. It is 12:30 am here and I just got home around 11 so I am about to head off to bed.so tomorrow I'll gladly do my best to explain each commandment for your benefit.
Must be a bugger when you're wearing all those gowns n dresses n robes.
(Um, in reference to your post before last. )

hah hah, actually no since we rarely wear liturgical robes outside of Masses/Services. I was dressed in my "uniform" at the urinal, the basic black ensemble with the white offsetting neckpiece
Hmmmmmm. Can one part the "white sea" when wearing them, or does one have to lift the whole issue and then squirt? Just curious.

One can part the white sea, for luckily they are slit in the middle
LOL Sanctus ...... we are playing the "Questions You've Always Wanted to Ask A Priest eh?
Keep a bit of mystery about you my friend.... you aren't expected to bare your soul to belong.
It's all a bit of Kubuki anyway.

Thank you. Very true, isn't it!? I rather enjoy watching Kubuki, or is it Kabuki??(I'm not sure to be honest). Such a ritualized performance. I like to watch it even though I, as a westerner, don't "get" it.
Funny thing about this site my friend. Damned if I make a religious observation, and damned if I don't
Dear Sanctus
As I wrote yesterday - there may be a reason for your presence here.... enjoy it.... if being damned is this much fun! It's an education for some of us who know very little about priests or devout humans.
Kubuki is all male I think.....where they play dual roles... somewhere stuck in the back of my brain the answer is lurking...

Geeeeeeeeeez. It's kabuki. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2090.html
Originally for male audiences kabuki were exotic dances and had both men and women in them. Now they are caricatures of life. (The actors who are all male, really ham it up).

Kabuki is Japanese Theater..... so is KUbuki.... they are interchangeable depending perhaps on the more common western use - and I understood KUbuki to be more traditional. It doesn't matter as we know what it is:

Re your remarks about Sanctus - I think he takes the messages directed at him with good humor and kindness .... certainly many of them are way too personal.... but he doesn't seem to get upset with
sinners like me....

Hi :
If it is required to steal to save your life or someone else's then it is justified.

That would be formed by societal habits, and it's intent isn't disrespect, but, it does dispose one to possible liberties later. In other words if one excuses himself an inch this time, does he have the will power to prevent himself from taking a foot later?!!:angel8:

You make a very good point.
Cases like these are the most difficult trial for the children and they need help through prayer. Something similar occured in my own family, but the girl placed it aside even though the torment still lingered, and now she expresses longing for her elderly father who passed on many years ago. In her charitable way I was taken in admiration of her when out of the blue she requested a mass be said for him and her mother; "...and mother" caught my attention. It occured to me that even though she could justifiably disconnect from him, she still saw them as one. This seemingly weak woman displayed a remarkable strength and will to remain in relation with her father, and it meant so much for her even though she had nothing to lose by just forgetting about him, even to keep it secret from her younger sibling males who would have immediatlely have direspected him. that is not to say that on occasion she doesn't display some bitterness, but now it is fleeting and she can quickly collect herself.
It is a misconception that there is no effect to the male members of the family in such a case. As role model the males find theselves shattered, and left without a foundation. All the mores they have been taught is taken in review and restudied. The effects are disasterous.
I myself was shocked when one day she confided in me after he had passed on, and that went to a feeling of coldness for a while. Then I came to reflect on the good he did, and that he was always a good provider and had many good traits. I can honestly say I miss him and would welcome him with open arms.
Personally, I don't know how victims can obtain consolation in such a disaster, but I imagine perserverance and giving oneself a timeout to reflect and bringing the problem to the Blessed Virgin through the Rosary is guaranteed to assist one greatly.

That's BS..thou shalt not steal does not have grey areas. A sin is always a sin, regardless of the circumstances.
So excluding "grey areas", and there is no way to protect your child from an agressor other than to kill him, your saying it would be a sin?
