Ideally, a person becomes a priest (and we'll assume catholic priest here) because they want to help people. Sure, sure, reverence for god and all that, but fueling all of that is supposed to be a love for their fellow man and real emotional investment in their well-being. That's how it was taught to me anyway. Priesthood can be a shortcut to familiarity and trust which allows you to be a positive force in other peoples lives...or, as Min has so adeptly pointed out...priesthood can get your pecker buried in a little boys ass just that much more easily..
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
