And I wonder why it is such a big deal. I don't know, holding the priesthood is an awesome responsibility don't get me wrong. But then, do we REALLY respect it for what it is? If we did, would we harbor ill will about it if we didn't have it? It's a double edged sword when you think about it. Why get mad at men - if you REALLY believe it is the power to act in God's name? And if you don't believe, you just don't believe it, that's all. Is it easier to get mad at men about their beliefs and practices than it is to face your own difficult path?
