In a sermon/homily this morning, a priest was talking about enemies and how we should love them. Overall, it was a good sermon about Christ's love for us, how we should love those around us, etc. But the priest said at one point that "the priest who molests small children is more in need of Christ's grace and forgiveness than any of the rest of us." Doesn't that go against Paul's statement that we should repeat (and do repeat in the pre-communion prayers) that "I am the chief of sinners"?
