I understand your point but some say St Thomas Aquinas as well as St Theresa of Avila were a bit “round”.  St Padre Pio as well as some Friars at San Giovanni developed a belly in their later years.

We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.  Father Feelgood with the large belly, nice car and confey rectory may carry a heavier cross than you can imagine.

That's never made sense to me. I haven't been in any town in twelve different countries where there is only junk food with no healthy options for miles. On the contrary, in the US there are always Walmarts and other supermarkets with plenty of salads, fruits, and wholesome meals available. If a free person eats junk food, it's almost always their choice, particularly because many don't even want to prepare their own food. Either they want a "party in their mouth" every time they eat or they are flat out too lazy to cut fruit, too lazy to assemble dishes, and if available, too lazy to wash produce and too lazy to cook! There are 24 hours in a day, don't give me the "I have no time" excuse.

Do you have any idea what some of these priests' schedules are like, especially on the weekends?  They barely have time to choke down a sandwich.  It has nothing to do with being "too lazy to cook".

I don't understand the point of this thread. Are you the same genius who started the other thread about how much priests drink? Now it's how much they eat? What business is any of this of yours? Honestly people ... :facepalm:

Yes, I think it would be good if priests would be skinny as a good example to others. I understand now that I am older that it is easy to gain weight without even overeating. So though it would be nice if priests were perfect and skinny, I just heard about another traditional Catholic priest who raped a twelve year old boy multiple times, so I am happy that as far as I know my current pastor seems like a good guy who is willing to go out on sick calls, who is merely twenty pounds overweight.

The true virtue is what kind of a person you are rather than whether you are a fat or skinny person. What good would it do you if you have the "perfect weight" and still go to hell?
