As I was writing the post I felt sort of smug about my life...at least I don't fight like those priests. But then it hit me like a plank in the eye that I am just just like them only in a different way. Yikes. :) DClark,

Until the last paragraph, I really thought it was about fighting priests and the ridiculousness of it all. How often do we take note and opin on the hypocritical faults of others when we are SO guilty of the same though perhaps in a less ostentatious manner? "Priests are SUPPOSED to be kind. It's their JOB." Why do we expect so much from our so called leaders, yet not feel compelled to live up to those same expectations? It's amazing how easily we lose our focus to watch the sins of others. A prime example of my plank eyed vision focused on the splinter of those I think should be pure as the wind driven snow. Thanks for the commentary on my life. I'd lost sight of it. I think this is one of your greatest posts.

Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. And anyone who leans a latter carelessly in the wrong section of the church is probably beyond salvation. Such a man you must sweep out of your life." See, they were acting like Jesus... “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.
