I'm pretty sure this isn't at all what the priest was insinuating a parent should do, but I think you know that.
You took away something else from it? He said point blank that if you're not devoting the greater part of your time, money, and energy to god, you're not living your life right. Meaning things like your health and family come second, if even that. If you had to choose one week between giving your tithe of ten percent of your income to the church, and making sure your children got enough to eat that week, what do you think is the correct choice?
