Sadly in this day and age so many people have little or no respect for their own Father or anyone else's for that matter.<BR/>A priest is there to do God's bidding would these bullies treat God himself in this way if he appeared in human form on the altar? No they would not, they would be crying and begging for his forgiveness, they don't appear to realise they will have to answer for their ways on their own day of judgement. I agree with the statement "perhaps they think kindness equals weakness"., How wrong can you be, would they have the stregth and determination to answer God's call to the priesthood I think not. I am fed up with these so called Christian's moaning and demanding their wishes be met, but where are they when the Priest of the Parish himslef requests some help and support, off like a shot that's where they are, they don't wish to know. Yes I agree a few good punches in the mouth may shut them up. God forgive me, but they too also need to beg his forgiveness for their cruel words and actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-72236549148149157422008-04-14T13:22:00.000+01:002008-04-14T13:22:00.000+01:00Et expecto, I didn`t think it was the only interes...Et expecto, I didn`t think it was the only interesting thing.

Excomunication of the offending lay person, and if necessary a good punch in the mouth.<BR/><BR/>No one gets more angry about certain priests than I, but I know better than to act on it, you respect the position of Priest like you should respect your own Father.<BR/><BR/>If you ever have any trouble like this Father you can count on my support just email me and I'll be on the first train to Newcastle.<BR/><BR/>If they want to run a parish they should make the sacrifices a priest makes for God. There is alot of truth in the saying that some people take kindness for weakness.<BR/><BR/>Father Kuyte would have known how to deal with them ;)Volpius Leoniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273209983337706262noreply@blogger.com
