That was back in 1978. The priest soon left the priesthood which was probably a good thing.
Actually Heard That in a Homily

“Bible scholars tell us…”
Never went back to that parish.
Read off a paper…or so my daughter told me after last Sunday Mass. A visiting priest co-celebrated the evening Mass and contrary to the Parish Priest who regularly talks to the congregation during his Sermon, this visiting Father read his sermon from a paper. And although it was about putting your worries in Gods hands (and I didn’t mind it as his speech was good)… according to my teenage daughter, she didn’t find it genuine. 🤷🏻♀️
“Everyone goes to Heaven.” Heard that one withing the last year.
“Only God can sin.”
A very orthodox young priest, he was delivering a good homily, I’m sure he didn’t mean anything heretical, but he highlighted this sentence as the centerpiece of the homily, and “Only God can forgive sin” wouldn’t have fit in the context, so I have no idea what he meant.
“We can pray God the Mother.”
Sorry, six words….
We Pray, Mother God
…but it’s all good.
…the spirit of accompanyment…
As Pope Francis said,…
…so called traditional Catholics…
…thankfully, Vatican II changed…
“Racism: America’s original sin. “.
I’ve heard this multiple times over the past few years. I want to know: doesn’t baptism cleanse us of original sin? Why is only one race born with racism as original son? How are we redeemed? Who forgives this sin? Why wasn’t racism mentioned in scripture? Are no other countries affected by racism?
Do they have to be ones actually heard? If you want to go dark and silly…
“I was browsing pornhub…”
“Let us pray: Satan…”
“Everyone got their kool-aid?”
“All must roll initiative…”
“Anyone else seen Rollergator?”
“…wise man Bill Maher…”
Ok I’m done for now.
