Brendan, who has perfect attendance at CCD and goes to Mass every week, informed me last week he wasn’t going to go because, “It isn’t any of the priests concern what I do with my business.” I explained that the priest was acting as God to which he matter of factly responded, “But he isn’t. When I do something wrong, I talk to God when I say my prayers at night and God always forgives. So why do I need to tell a priest?”
