Priest's retirement speech
« on: March 14, 2018, 20:31 »
You don't need to be a Roman Catholic and go to Confession to appreciate this story. Make sure you live by the last line! 

A Priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish.   A leading local figure and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.    However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:

I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here.   I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place.   The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.   He had stolen money from his parents; embezzled from his employer; had an affair with his boss's wife; had sex with his boss's 17-year old daughter on numerous occasions; taken illegal drugs; had several homosexual affairs; was arrested several times for public nudity and gave a STD (sexual transmitted disease) to his sister-in-law.   I was appalled that one person could do so many awful things.    But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.

At least it wasn't the important bit.   ;D
