In the third grade, a nun stuffed me in a garbage can under her desk because she said that's where I belonged. I also had the distinction of being the only altar boy knocked down by a priest during mass.

You know, I've got a confession to make myself. I'm not really a priest, I've just got my shirt on backwards.

I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.

Hey, I was raised in the church. I was an altar boy and a choir member. I almost became a priest - until common sense grabbed hold of me.

I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.

I have never had demands on me as acute as when I was a parish priest.

I have nothing against priests. In fact, I tried for a time to be one... It should be clear, then, that I respect, and am often fond of, the many priests in my life.

I briefly thought of becoming a priest but quickly saw that would be ridiculous.

Every kid that goes to Catholic school believes he's going to be a priest one day.
