From the new Running Man movie:
Guy on street: Father?
Fake Irish Priest: Yes my son.
Guy on street: Will I go to hell for using condoms?
Fake Irish Priest: You might go to hell if you dont use them. My sister has 8 children. She says she is in hell every day.
I almost peed myself. Yes, there really are priests like that. You do your best to follow the rules but you can only do so much. Like you shouldn’t get drunk, but its going to happen. I’ll see you in confession. Takes a drink.
Growing up, our Catholic church had a family friendly casino night. The only thing that made it family friendly was letting the kids come. It was real booze and real gambling. The priests drank more Irish whiskey than the parents. Of course they did. The parents were spending money. The priests were earning money to keep their church going.
Over celebrating might be a sin. But if their hearts were celebrating a righteous cause, I think god will forgive it. See you in confession.
