From my childhood I had been intended for the clergy. This prospect hung like a dark cloud on my mind.
People take sides on political things, such as the Vietnam War. War is immoral and war is wrong, but I don't think the clergy ought to bring it before the Church.
If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy.
I think the issue of clergy sexual abuse sparked people to look at their faith in a different way.
Individualism. Narcissism. Value-free choices. These are all key elements in the decline of the practice of mutual accountability in Western churches, among clergy and laity alike.
You know you're in a bad movie when the Catholic clergy is being played by Jews.
Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense.
Parents, teachers, clergy and physicians change lives with their words. It is hypnotic for a child or patient to hear an authority figure's words. As I am always sharing, 'wordswordswords' can become 'swordswordswords,' and we can kill or cure with either words or swords.
If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied.
Travelling childhoods are a common theme among actors. Army kids, embassy kids, travelling salesmen, clergy. Thing is, you learn about behaviour, that different places are separated by behaviours which are culturally driven.
