Who says priest should be saints? I know many who, in my book, would not qualify as saints when put up against such saintly priests as St. John Vianney or Padre Pio. The Roman collar worn by priests does not make them automatic saints any more than a football jersey of the Dallas Cowboys makes a fan a member of the NFL. If anything, priests are held to much higher standards than the average lay person as they are responsible for so many souls. A bad priest can turn many people away from God.
