"So, I was like wow why is this celebate and impoverished priest in front of me and my wife and our two FRIENDS from out of town. He obviously likes to sit in GOOD SEATS like we do. Crazy."
I'm not taking sides in this but his has to be one of the stupidest statements of all time. I'm not fan of Mr Roxy's so before you start with that line of bs, don't waste your time.
It is rather interesting that a priest would be attending "The Boy from Oz", a show that happens to celebrate the life of a gay man. So I'm assuming you asked the priest if he was Catholic because to assume he's Catholic would just be plain ignorant because there are a good amount of priests in this world who are NOT Catholic. That's like seeing a cop in NYPD uniform and saying "That cop works in Brooklyn". This would be a strange assumption because anyone with common sense knows there are members of NYPD that do NOT work in Brooklyn. They COULD be from the Bronx...or Manhattan..or any other number of places, right? I mean, stranger things have happened. So, it may be worth noting that not all priests follow the whole "You're going to hell if you don't lead a straight life" thing because....not all priests think that way.
Also, the comment about this particular priest having decent seats to a show...for a moment let's pretend you know what you are talking about, I know it'll be hard but just try it for 1 second...I'm assuming you are trying to bring attention to the vow of poverty? I can think of half a dozen reasons just off the top of my head about how these tickets could have come into the possession of a priest and not one of them would be a breach of that vow.
For the sake of members who happen to come across your postings, please at least try to sound intelligent and if you can't, just shut up hell up. You're embarrassing yourself...and as amusing as it may have been originally, it starts to quite daft after awhile.
So what? A priest who, it would seem, has great taste in music got to sit in the same section of the theater as you....so unless he stormed out of the theater or made some other sign that he was offended, deal with it and move on.
