For example, you might suggest one, two, three, four, five priests and they'll be like, no, I don't want to talk to them or why am I going to go tell some other man wearing black, I'm going to tell him my mistakes or, you know, like what encouragement would you give to someone struggling with those thoughts? Yeah.

Elijah IskanderGUEST
For somebody who's struggling with confession, perhaps because of a bad experience or because of some trauma, then I feel for them.

Elijah IskanderGUEST
you know but at the same time we have to recognize that we are missing out on something marvelous we are missing out on something marvelous so if and look at it like any other kind of trauma okay if somebody you know is hit by a car and they're traumatized and they can't get behind the wheel of a car which happens all the time all the time Does anybody just say fair enough, that was horrible.
