That’s why they’re not taken serious.
In reality growing up there were a few good priests with idiots below them.
Anytime I have to attend church now, the few good priests have either retired from old age or reassigned out to rural areas and the idiots who were once kept in check are now in charge and have an even bigger idiot under them.
Growing up there were so few decent priests. The two I remember, one left and got married, the other one just disappeared. They all were robots going through the motions. At 10 years old I could do the service. The good priests 500 years ago became Protestants. Cognitive dissonance keeps my family under the Roman Catholic spell. Seeing through it is a gift from God.
