Psychics and Witches: What Scripture Says

[AmberEyes]

I think that people often forget that their leaders are just as human as they are. I don't think it's entirely on purpose, either. When I was a child I always thought the same thing, but then I realized that they're the same as you and me, they just have a different job, a different role in society.

No its lol its the religion. I used to believe the same way until Father Canuel. LOL Oh boy was he human! Rode a hog, gave communion in sandles LOL Well the diacies didnt like that and off he went to South Africa LOL He even had a beer at my Moms graduation.

We had a priest when I was younger that had long hair and he got all sorts of comments about him made to the Bishop. I think the internet is great, but maybe gives us a one sided picture of people based on the comments we make.

Well, to be fair, the only way I ever see them is either at Mass or official parish functions.I never have stopped to think of how they were feeling. I just assumed they were above normal human emotions, and obviously I was foolish to think so.

Not really, Mary. A bit funny, though. Couldn't really get a good pic of a priest being anything other than human in my mind's eye.

Yes, but you are personal friends with a priest if I recall, aren't you? I know they're human, but one sees them doing things for others all the time, or saying Mass. why do they wear those cold black outfits? I think it seperates them somewhat.

Ever invited them over for dinner?

I have no doubt that Sanctus is a good person. It's in the job description I'm sure. I have yet to meet a priest of any faith who was not a kind and generous soul willing to turn out at anytime of day or night to give solace, aid and comfort. There are bad eggs in any basket. Can't go tossing out the whole bunch because of them. A good cooking rule is to break your eggs individually aside from the other ingredients so as not to contaminate the all of them. May be our experiences should be treated the same. Let each stand or fall on it's own merits before being folded in to the batch.

True. Like you said, I'm sure Sanctus is as bad as the rest of us on the internet, spouting off stuff to elict reaction. I bet he's totally wonderful live and in person.

Yes, but our parish priest seems so formal even at dinner.

Yes, I am friends with a couple priests, but I don't think I ever looked upon them as being any different than anyone else. Well, some wear grey, some wear normal clothing sometimes. I'm not quite sure about their uniforms uses and when they are used or not.

LOL Im going to hush.

Maybe you make him nervous.

Maybe it's what he thinks you expect.

I was deep in yet another opposing post and scouring web for ammo and missed his thread about his mum. The use of the eff word caught me totally off guard. Never thought to see those words from him. This thread here is true to his beliefs and he was hiding his grief well. Even at times like this we all move forwards, we may look back but only as we walk away from the grave of our loved ones. Life goes on. I am sure he will be his opionated self that I enjoy sparring with in time. It took me a year to even talk about death after losing my mum. I had to be strong when my dad died as his second wife needed our support. Yet I stll deeply feel the loss of my brother 4 years ago unexpectedly.

I think I am rambling.

Fair enough...let's all agree on one thing though, our prayers and good thoughts go out to Sanctus and his family....I lost both my parents and it is awful. Yes, they are expected to die before us, but it is never easy when they do!

 

[marygaspe]

Maybe it's what he thinks you expect.

You know what. You're probably right. I do expect a certain way of being for them. thanks for pointing that out.

I was drinking a Pepsi and spit it out when I read his words!!!

m. This thread here is true to his beliefs and he was hiding his grief well. Even at times like this we all move forwards, we may look back but only as we walk away from the grave of our loved ones.

Ramble away. did your brother leave a wife and children behind? Was he your only sibling?

Agreed. Candles lit and energy sent. I lost my Mom when she was 45 and I lost my 22 year old son last May. I know that pain and I reach around everyone here in pain and I send you all the Love in my heart to warm your hearts.

Much Love

Oh my LORD....I'm so sorry to read this! I have 3 adult children and even the thought of one of them dying is beyond my understanding...would you be terribly offended if I said a rosary on his behalf?

My dads second wife lost her husband to lukemia at same time we lost our mum to heart attack. She taught kindergarden at the local RC seperate school and is a regular church going anglican. i was out for a bicycle ride to see my mum (2nd mum) and was passed and overtaken by the female anglican priest at the church in my stepmum's village. She slowed when she recognized me from my helping with my dad's death. We had a conversation how a carload of teenagers had "broomed" her and she wiped out in to a ditch with some choice "non-professional" words hurled at the car.

I didn't realize Anglicans had women in their ministry! Anyway, strong words! So Sanctus isn't an anomaly in that regard
