We expect some people e.g. those attracted to children, animals or corpses, to control themselves but priests who have taken totally VOLUNTARY vows, can't be expected to show any control whatever and indulge in drug fuelled orgies? <br />I would also be interested in seeing a source for your Martin Luther quote, I don't believe it.

(For reasons of length...Thank you for your query! <br />(For reasons of length of my response I will confine us to "will" and "shall" here but can return to "would" and "should" another time..) <br />In Ireland and to some extent in America and some other English-speaking countries, "will" and "shall" are now largely interchangeable, with "will" being by far the most commonly used. So then generally speaking, when you use the word "will", to describe your future intentions, it will be regarded as correct. But what was the original strictly correct usage about which you enquire? Well, the rule was that "shall" was used for what is often described in English grammar as the "first person" --that is whenever you are referring to yourself or yourselves. In other words, the sentence would beginp with the word "I" or "We". <br />Examples :-<br />I shall do my best. I shall not travel that that way again. <br />We shall be back on Tuesday. We shall not need our raincoats. <br />But when you speak TO or about ABOUT another person or persons, you should use "will" as in these examples :-<br />You will find your key in the door. <br />You will never guess who came today!<br />Will you all leave the building please? They will be the last to go. Will they be late? <br /><br />However, there is another interesting point to make on the now accepted correct uses of these two words. In sentences where you want to really stress your opinion, be forceful or lay down the law (and indeed in some of our legal documents), the situation is completely reversed! You use "will" for yourself and "shall" to or about the other folk. To make the point extra clear in the examples below I have used CAPITALS to draw extra attention to the intended emphasis. <br />Examples of "shall" and "will" deliberately in the "wrong" places as a way of being forceful or extra formal :-<br /> I WILL have my share and nothing will stop me. <br />We WILL be still there when you come back <br />We WILL stand firm on this. <br />You SHALL do exactly as you are told! <br />You SHALL not walk on the grass. <br />They SHALL not get the better of you!<br />In respect of an accident, the employee shall immediately report to the supervisor. We will not tolerate any deviation from the agreed contractual obligations. <br /><br />I hope this has been of help to you.

Divine grace is greater than its prevalence. <br /><br />Corrupt clergy are part of the weeds the Lord said were sown among His wheat. They will come to their proper end and will not prevail. <br /><br />Listening to your "theology", one would have to conclude that the Lord did not keep His promise to be with the Church until the end of the world - that He abandoned His Church to a completely corrupt priesthood. <br /><br />This is simply untrue - a gross exaggeration on your part for entirely subjective reasons. You may see yourself as "tainted" and that is a matter for you to come to terms with. I am confident that millions of Catholics like myself have had a good experience of priests, without being blind to the sins of some. It is a question of fairness and balance as you yourself have admitted. <br /><br />As regards the "provocation" you received on this blog. Some people (not I) reacted to your over the top insults, foul language, contemptuous dismissiveness - you have only yourself to blame. It is good to see you adopting a more balanced and less belligerent attitude and approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-71852269555740395452017-07-08T23:03:53.413+01:002017-07-08T23:03:53.413+01:00Yes, best to get it over and done with soon; he wi...Yes, best to get it over and done with soon; he will be today's news, tomorrow's chip paper in no time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-87957760010970359732017-07-08T22:52:41.493+01:002017-07-08T22:52:41.493+01:00Oh, good, I'm glad you're back.
