About This Quote
Most priests wish they were as righteous as they seem to most members of their congregations. They would like to be perfect in their moral goodness and upright in all their dealings, but the fact is that the vast majority of priests are sinners like we all are. They may not be as bad as we are, but they still do wrong things and make mistakes. It’s a known fact that most priests wish they were perfect in their righteousness and holy in all their dealings and yet they know that this is impossible.
It’s also true that most members of churches would like to think that their pastor is perfect, but he’s not. Since he is human, he can sin just like anyone else.
