APR 14, 15 .. THOSE ‘OF-THE-CLOTH’ .. CAP AND PATTI .. ENJOYING HONG KONG .. PART 1 OF 10

The above title .. THOSE ‘OF-THE-CLOTH’ .. refers to what I consider to be religious ‘professionals’. In this sense of the word a religious ‘professional’ is a person basically committed to the full time formal pursuit of carrying the message of their religious belief system to others.

In a vastly oversimplified statement religious ‘professionals’ are divided into two very broad categories. 

Category I – Religious ‘professionals’ in this category are SINGLE and WITHOUT a family. Roman Catholic Priests fall into this category. One of the main reasons for this category is that the single person is much freer to totally devote their life pursuits to their religious belief system because they have no one outside of their religious order to account to for their time and endeavors. Basically there are fewer things between them and God. They are also less financially expensive to their religion because they are not supporting a spouse and/or a family.

Category II – Religious ‘professionals’ in this category are MARRIED. As but one for-instance .. the Jewish faith highly recommends marriage for a Rabbi so that they know from actual living experience the trials and tribulations .. joys and sorrows .. of the married life. I also found reference that the married Rabbi with children of his own may be a better teacher of children.

“What Captain does this have to do with anything?” .. “I thought you would never ask ‘Zilla!”

It has EVERYTHING do with my own personal life! Luckily I am able .. throughout the year .. to live in each of the above categories. Each of them have enormous advantages!

Right now I would not trade one single moment of the valuable time that Patti and I are sharing together here in Hong Kong! It is pure and simple such FUN AND JOY to have Patti right with me .. holding on tightly behind me .. as I am riding My Horse Of Life.
