Everything in my life comes up a little shorter than I want it to be. I've got all these high aspirations for myself, my career and my faith and it would come up not even close to what I want it to be.

I don't believe less in American government because of a bad politician. I don't believe less in the Catholic Church because of a criminal priest but I wish we were doing more - and had done more in the past especially - to do something about these things. It doesn't harm my faith but it gets me just mad that these things have existed.

People sometimes focus on the red button hot topic issues and I'm, like, you know, who cares about priestly celibacy? I'm thinking about how am I forgiving my enemies? How am I turning the other cheek? How am I loving my neighbor as myself? To me that's 10,000 times more difficult than to say should priests be married or not be married? I'm, like, I think we're wasting all out energies on the wrong thing. Let's work on the most difficult stuff.

I don't know any saint who wanted to be the patron saint of kissing.

Everybody is called to become a saint. Not everybody's gonna be canonized by the Church...The only thing about being canonized is you're already dead so you don't even get to go to the party.

I think the best part of being Catholic, strange as it might sound, is that I know it's right. It's true.

If all the priests go we all want to be married and the pope goes all priests should be married than I say go for it.
