The local parish had a fairly new priest. He had wonderful, innovative ideas
that were, for the most part accepted by the congregation. His mentor, a “higher
ranking” priest, came for a visit to see how he was doing.
After looking the parish over, the senior priest said, “Father John, your idea
of a drive through confessional is wonderful. That makes it so convenient for
your church members. And, Father John, it was a really good idea to have the
confessional open 24 hours a day, for those who work “shift” work. However,
Father John….that flashing neon sign that says ‘TOOT and TELL or GO to
HELL’….well, it has got to go!!”
