Becoming a priest for the money?
#2
RE: Becoming a priest for the money?
I think there are probably many priests working within various churches that are not particularly religious ... obviously there's the evangelist type who is primarily a snake oil salesman (in it for the money), then there are those who do it because it gives them the opportunity to get close to vulnerable people (paedophiles and similar who might be religious or not) and then there are those who simply join because they see in the church a tremendously powerful tool to do good things. There are, I'm sure, others too.
