AN 80-year-old retired priest allegedly bit an ear off another elderly clergyman during a violent brawl over a parking bay in their block of units.
Sure there are priests that are great people, honest human beings. I'm not disputing that. Merely disputing the sanctity of the cloth.
They're just men, they're not saints. They get indigestion, lose their hearing, get arthritis, feel cranky, they're just men. Did you expect every priest to be a sinless, bodiless, spirit who spends his time contemplating eternal truth?
These are the men, that speak on behalf of God. These are the men, that are holier than thou.
These are the men that absolve sins, and claim a moral high ground.

You made the point, yet you missed it. May I emphasize for clarity?
