Whacked Home Coach.......Probably not deserved.....

[Rob1968]

A few years ago, I got a call to do some inter-faith youth games, at a local Catholic gym, that's attached to a chapel. During one of the games a young man was upset with his performance on a play, and let out with a "G** d*** it!
I got his attention, and issued a T. His demeanor worsened, and he repeated the phrase, upon which outburst, I asked him if he had driven to the game. When he replied that he had, I told him to go home and think about his actions.
As I reported the T to the table, a priest, seated at the top of the bleachers, behind the table, arose and came down to talk to me.
Not being catholic, I was a bit concerned, as he asked me why I had sent the young man home. I replied, "Father, he took the Lord's Name in vain, twice." To which he said, "I know the young man. I will have a talk with him. Thank you for helping us uphold our standards." As he turned to walk away, I breathed, again . . .
Different situations,/circumstances - different standards.
