He would get this for no cost because the organisers of the pilgrimage want a chaplain. So, to link with embezzlement is not right and misleading. However, the argument could be that is kind of endorsement by the priest Searcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028269155426303411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348240626909863719.post-31284875627495351382017-06-04T15:25:23.290-04:002017-06-04T15:25:23.290-04:00Excellent food for thought.

It has been scandalous to me how they live compared to ordinary folks, to the point that I now see them as entirely irrelevant. Gradually, this has eroded my faith in organized religion. Although I strongly believe in organization, it seems the more organized religion gets, the more corrupt it gets.

Example, when ordained, you are automatically accorded four weeks of vacation and one week of retreat. In the working world, how many years would you have to work for a company before being accorded the same benefit?
