Are Catholic priests never allowed recreation? Are they to spend every minute of every day in prayer and reflection? How much prayer and reflection do you do every day?

Which part of the "public" aspect did you miss? And which part of the fact their their priests did you miss? "Recreation" is built into most religious rules. It's not about recreation, but about public displays of frivolity leading to disedification and disrespect for the priestly state. Next let's have the priest knocking back pints at the local pub sitting next to immodestly-dressed females looking for one-night stands.

I thank God that I'm not a Puritan.

So that's your best "refutation", declaring me a Puritan. You're failing to distinguish between the instrinsic nature of the act and disedification caused by it. It's not sinful to flatulate either, but if a priest were walking around blowing farts, belching out loud, and laughing about it, would that not be an offense to the clerical state? There's a dignity of state that must be upheld. Theologians are quite clear that certain things are dependent upon one's state in life. It's no sin for some hillbilly living in a trailer somewhere to belch and fart in public, but it would be for a priest or nun to behave the same way, due to the dignity of their stage. But you're not capable of making "distinctions," as you've proved over and over again here.

A priest is a human being, not a god. I just don't believe that going on rides at Sea World is an occasion of sin for them.

Still no substantive response. False dilemma. Priest is not some average run of the mill individual either. He's a man who's dedicated and consecrated to God, and an Alter Christus. He acts in persona Christi, so in a way he IS God, because he carries around the character of Our Lord.

You make no allowance for their state in life, throwing out this false dichotomy between a human being and God, as if all things permitted to human beings in general would be permitted to a priest.
