Not all priests are smart.
They are still fallible to this thing called sin of this world. People of the religion goes to him for a confession stand and he too must go to another priest for his confessional stand as well.
I remembered a high profile murder case where the court forces the priest to testify. He refuses due to that rule that governs his line of work.
I also had one told me to go return that music deck that I boasted from some random car. You must be joking. i"ll get shot for sure that way.
I also had a few that asked me the value of such stolen item and take that amount and put it in the giving basket that is destine for the poor. You see, in some church, the first collection is for the church. The second one is for a charitable organization.
I also heard of a story coming out of vietnam. The kid had nothing to confess as his mother forces him to go get a confession as the church urges all to go get a confession at least once a year. So upon kneeling in front of a priest, he stole his slipper and then confesses that he did so. The priest forgave him and the kid walks home with the priest's slipper.
