The OP is between a rock and a hard place, because if everything he/she said were true, he/she would be guilty of detraction (and considering the subjects of the detraction are priests, it would probably constitute grave matter).

But if what the OP has reported is not accurate, then the priests are calumniated in a serious matter.

The saving grace of the thread has been the revelation of the pipe/tobacco website.

This whole conversation is rather silly. What business is it of yours what they consume? Besides, if you're worried about the expense, I wouldn't necessarily assume the parish is paying for all of that stuff. It's quite possible the rectory provides the priests with some moderately-priced wine, and then expects them to pay out of their own pocket if they want 100-year-old scotch. And if priests want to spend their Mass and baptism stipends on a nice bottle of vintage port, what is that to you? I remember something about casting a speck out of someone else's eye.



The one that is a snowbird that even admits he’s only been to Sanford once is the poster quoted.  He copies and pastes from the internet and thinks he knows Florida.

Really, now?  It's plenty obvious to me that whoever is the "Anonymous" whom I quoted immediately above is full of manure.  The "poster quoted" is actually none other than AlligatorDicax (who is also the author of this posting): An at-least-4th-generation native Floridan[*], who was baptized into the Roman Catholic faith as an infant in Florida.


The OP has lived in Florida for well over 50 years.

Sooo, you've "lived" in Florida for "well over 50 years"?  Uh, huh,  Well, 50 years ago, I had already graduated from the parochial school in Orlando, then 1 of what might be called the traditional high schools in Orlando.  And I had been serving Mass for several years at the Catholic church that's now the regrettably Novus Ordo cathedral in Orlando.

This  "Anonymous" subforum, which accomodates anonymous posters of obviously unknowable degrees of honesty or deception, really ought to be plowed under by Matthew.

Note *: "At least".  Or even more generations, depending on the path followed for counting ancestor generations; I do need to review my family's genealogy files.

Many years ago when I was a child the county where I live was a dry county. There was an event at the Catholic church where beer was served. A Protestant who was at the event took out her bible and said something to the priest about how drinking alcohol was some kind of a sin. The priest replied by saying something very undiplomatic.
I believe that played a part in me being in trouble in school later that year.

It's hot in Florida and they get thirsty too, what seems to be the problem?
