# How can you be sure that there are fake priests? After all,you are making blatant assumptions about a person,aren't you?Has any priest specifically,actually told you that they didn't get "the calling" and are in fact a faker/impostor? If not,how can you actually,honestly,clearly know?
What if you are making blatant assumptions on a real priest and God is getting angry at you as every minute passes by?
There are no fake priests. Once a man has been ordained, the sacrament leaves an "indelible mark" on the soul of the person who is forevermore a priest.
However, I suspect that there are men who did not have genuine vocations, attended seminary and got ordained. Some of them leave the priesthood, others struggle, and some may do quite well.
How many priests you know have told you that they entered priesthood without receiving The Calling?
