What's the most face-palm-worthy statement you have ever heard from a priest/preacher

[Randy Carson]

A couple of points on this one:

1. Circumcision WAS sign of Israel's covenant with God.
2. Priests tend to be reasonably well educated having a bachelor's degree and another four years of seminary.

So, this was probably either a wry observation, a bit of hyperbole about the circumcision covenant or both.

And in the context of his talk on the subject of circumcision in the early Church, it may have sounded stupid (to you), but he was technically correct.

Circumcision got started because some guy like giving BJs on baby boys and he needed an excuse.  So he claimed that it was a religious practice and he was able to keep sucking boys' bloody penises throughout time, even to this very minute.
