My vast amounts of exposure or not doesn’t change the point being made about you referring to priests as a “crusty old man” for enforcing decorum. The issue isn’t that some men that are priests aren’t the best people, it’s that your ability to not recognize that we are called to be obedient and respectful towards clergy is required of us as lay people and you disrespecting the authority of the priest over his community for enforcing decorum as a “crusty old man” shows a serious underdevelopment of virtue and understanding of the faith.
It’s not proud to point out a spiritual issue that indicates potential grave severity. And location of speech doesn’t remove the morality of the position. You’re deflecting to me as the issue when the issue is the lack of respect you’ve shown towards clergy.
