When I was a young boy I thought I would be one of the first priests who would also be a professional golfer. Never imagined that a seminary could be the starkness that your story speaks of.

I think religious institutions should be abolished.

One can serve God without being a priest or nun and take the vows of celibacy.

The Vatican is corrupt and it hoards immense wealths while children are dying of hunger.

Those that should give the good example instead are involved in endless scandals.

Everyone knows the Vatican has links to the mafia involving murders , money laundering etc.

It?s rotten to the bone.

Due to health issues he could not continue.


I guess it was a silver lining situation , where
getting seriously ill saved him from taking his vows.

Thank you for reading and reviewing

Keep safe!
