It was our understanding if there was a founded claim that it would be reported to the cardinal. They said in their policy that it would be reported to [the person's] employer. Even though the cardinal is not a technical employer of a priest or pastor, he's the closest thing to it.
Colleen Dolan
I'm not saying he's Priest Holmes. But I'm sure he had some of that in the back of his mind, too. That was a selling point.

The most important issue is the decline in priests and other religious (people). I hope a new pope would consider allowing married priests.

Claudia Vercellotti
Labor movement's parish priest.

Rev. Virgilio Zea
As a parish priest you're formed much by the people you serve and live with.
David Reed
SACERDOTALIST, n. One who holds the belief that a clergyman is a priest. Denial of this momentous doctrine is the hardest challenge that is now flung into the teeth of the Episcopalian church by the Neo-Dictionarians.
Ambrose Bierce
If someone were to come to a Catholic priest and to confess to a murder in a confessional situation, which is between that person and God -- using myself in this case as a medium -- there is nothing absolutely that I could say, ever.
Joseph Towle
I'm a priest, not a priestess. ''Priestess'' implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world -- it's better than being invisible.
Carter Heyward
I guess if anyone wondered if Priest has anything left, ... they don't have to wonder now. That was classic Priest.
Tony Richardson
For someone who is mature and has psychological and emotional maturity . . . I just don't see that this document is going to discourage that person if he is called by God to be a priest, ...

Lamarcus Aldridge
It could be the tomb of a king's wife or son, or of a priest or court official.
Kent Weeks
Of all of my assignments, that was the most wonderful. The people were great. But most people don't realize the seven to 10 jobs that priests are doing as one job. That is a contributing factor to priest burnout.
Rob Willmann
We obviously are looking for the best way to approach things. However, a laicized priest is completely severed from the diocese. There is no longer a legal obligation or an alternative path that the diocese could use to monitor him.
Marianna Thompson
Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.
