Question:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Do you have to confess to a priest who is a mayor, a communist, and opens as a sack wherever he goes?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"I do not see any problem that a priest has become a mayor, especially if he\u00a0uses this position to tell people about Jesus Christ and to\u00a0direct their eyes toward God.<\/span>\u00a0I know that many do not agree with me, but I think a priest should be involved in the community life to tell people the Gospel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worse\u00a0are the other two qualities of so-called priest, to which you refer. By the fact that he has agreed to\u00a0be a communist he rejected the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, because communism is evil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, you can not confess sins and sick advice from a person who can not keep the secret and then exposes you in front of others. In this way, he will not help solve the problems, but will add to them.<\/span><\/p>\n
