No disrespect intended. If you re-read my remark, I didn't use the past tense in regards to your priesthood. What you stated is nothing new to me. I'm aware of the indelible marks of the sacraments. Other than a few saintly people, we all fall short of what and who we're called to be, that includes those who are swayed by ambition in the Church hierarchy and those who are motivated by grinding an axe against her.
