I believe I heard something about Maria Teresa not treating his patients and telling them pain were caresses from the lord or something like that and moving donations to private accounts.

I basically have stopped listening to what they or any religion has to say That said, many priests here almost never talk about god. They mostly function as coaches. They can have any sexual orientation they want and may even not believe in god 🤷

I don’t spend a lot of time dealing with churches. I certainly don’t believe in any of what they say anymore. However, I have gone to some weddings. When my youngest cousin was getting married, we arrived at church and were greeting family that we hadn’t seen in years. The priest yelled at us because we weren’t behaving in a way he felt was respectful (hugging, laughing, experiencing joy). I don’t know what he learned about Christ, but the Jesus I was taught about would have laughed in his face. When my wife’s brother was getting married, the priest lectured the entire wedding party at the rehearsal about his belief that children shouldn’t be at weddings. As the parents of the ring bearer, my wife and I felt a bit attacked. However, I just assume he didn’t want to be too close to temptation.

I was invited to a church pool/bbq party. When they asked everyone to get out of the pool, I thought the food was ready. Nope. It was for baptisms.
