...Priests and priestesses have been known since the earliest of times and in the simplest societies. They exist in all or some branches of Judaism, Christianity, Shintoism, Hinduism, and many other religions, as well, and are generally regarded as having good contact with the deities of the religion to which they subscribe, often interpreting the meaning of events, performing the rituals of the religion, and to whom other believers often will turn for advice on spiritual matters.

because a priest sets himself
up as the provider of social
morality? You know, I recently
heard a priest talking about
the presidential election and
he mentioned his self assumed

The transgressions of a priest are not unlike the transgressions of a teacher, community leader, judge, or anyone else who has, by the nature of their work, opened themselves to public scrutiny. It is assumed (perhaps falsely) that a priest or minister will be concerned enough with upright behavior to actually attempt engaging in it. The primary reason that people were so disgusted with the fall of Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker is because they had set themselves up as moral guardians. It wouldn't matter so much if Swaggart had been a regular man on the street who sought out sex for hire, but since he had appointed himself as one of America's moral guardians, he was subsequently exposed as a hypocrite. No one should order people to stop engaging in certain behavior patterns if he's doing the exact same thing in secret. |

What are the words used by the In Roman Catholic Masses said
in English, if someone isn't
Catholic or hasn't had their
first Holy Communion, they
usually go up to receive
Communion like everyone else,
but with their arms folded
across their chest. When they
reach the Priest, he usually
bestows a blessing upon them.
Roughly what does he say in
this instance?

How do I become a Kosher As of 01-01-07, I began a
strict Kosher only diet and
have already lost 5 pounds. I
researched how a Kosher priest
cuts the fat as he blesses the
food. I'm not sure if he is
cutting fatty chunks off the
meat or removing the fat out
of eggs. Regardless how he
does it - none of them have
capitalized on it. How can I
become a Kosher priest so I
can become the next fitness
billionaire by marketing
Kosher recipes? This will
definitely be bigger than
Dr.Atkins, Jenny Craig and
weight watchers put together.
