Re: ARRL - Political - was: Filament Voltage regulator

FRANCIS CARCIA
 

My next door neighbor growing up wanted to be a priest. In the late 60s he spent 3 years going to school then all of a sudden dropped out.?I asked him why he changed his mind a couple years later. He told me he was afraid to go to bed at night for fear of who would join him. Sick. None of this was news to me after learning that.
Church is too cheap to support priests who marry. It is all about money (sick).
Law (Boston)?should have also gone to jail but was promoted.

Correct. That a stack of Ben Franklins 44,000 inches high.

Take the case of Fr. Paul Shanley. His defense attorneys argued
unsuccessfully that he was unfairly seduced by a cute six-year old boy.

The total includes in court as well as out of court settlements -
a.k.a., "hush-money". Thus, the total is an estimate made by
attorneys who litigate such cases.

That's a question with a complex answer. As I see it, if they have a
job rule that priests can't do it with women, odds are that those men
who do not want to do it with women will be interested in the job.

Amen, however, some of my friends have told me I would make a good
priest. Maybe they were joking?...
