gridironmike Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 They are investigating why he served underaged individuals. Is it lost on everyone that he is a priest... serving alcohol to anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canyonero! Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Priests aren't allowed to drink or serve alcohol? Since when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 C'mon. Really. What kind of moral example is a priest setting by serving alcohol? No funny answers here, I'm serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endzone_dave Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 If a priest handed me a cold one, I wouldn't consider him a bad priest. I know enough priests to know that a lot of them are regular guys. They watch football games, drink beer, go on vacations, (and make mistakes) just like we do.

redman Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 First of all, he violated the law about serving alcohol to minors. But on the point gridironmike brought up, I've never been one to equate a vice with immorality. Does smoking make you a bad person? Is drinking sinful? Is it even so bad to go to a strip club? Obviously, if you are compelled to do these things because of addiction, or you otherwise do them to excess, then that's a seperate issue. But in and of themselves I don't see the problem.

WallyG3 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Why can't priests serve alcohol? Wasn't Jesus' first miracle turning water into wine at a party? He served alcohol to a lot of people on that night. Didn't you guys see The Original Kings of Comedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASMTrainer Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yes, they drank wine, it was what they drank back then. Now alcohol is used to get drunk and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjinhan Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 i dont think drinking alcohol is a sin but anything in excess is always bad... on the side note... i drank with my priest before... but i guess the difference is that we are korean and we korean have little different view on alcohol then Americans... in korea its really more of a social thing... we all drank around the table talking about life and such and also sang songs with priest banging away on the guitar... but most importantly if you are serving alcohol to anyone you better take responsibility if anything happens to them... i think this priest needs to be held responsible... not sure about all the way to manslaughter but something...
