The really solid priests I know definitely don't expect it. But these are also the priests who will pick up a meal for a person they go to lunch with, even though they live very modestly.

When you run into a really good priest, you realize that those guys really go the extra mile and work harder than most people. It's the lazy ones that give them a bad rap. And the really good priests just never stop. They end up saying weddings every single weekend for their whole lives on top of having meetings all week because of the priest shortage and the number of people who feel like they are a part of their family.

I gave $500 per child and a Ruth Chris gift card. He told me he used the special secret holy water.

Jesus didn't say anything about tipping after John baptized Him. Tipping a priest for baptism is as bad as the moneychangers in the temple.

What is the point of baptism in the Catholic religion if you are expected to tip? How is this biblical? I always thought baptism was a way to publicly show the church that you have accepted Christ as your savior.

Does the money assure their salvation?

Be careful - you will be negged by the defenders of phaggot priests who pray on little boys because Mother Mary decided that priests should not marry. You tip to pay for these sodomite priest when they have to go to trial. It is a damned shame

We totally forgot cash or a check at my son's a few months ago. Priest got like $37 and half of it was ones .

Its also really awkward to hand them money. Its like a back room deal to get your baby into heaven.

I donate a lot of money to the Catholic Church and find it crazy that tipping for a baptism is Ok


So you donate money to the Catholic Church yet make tired, unoriginal and unfunny jokes about priests?


You sound like a delight :roll eyes:

Ridiculous that catholic priests who are supposed to live a megar life expect a tip for one of the most holy times of a child's life.


You're one cheap bastard, and you can't spell.
