He says in his dream Jesus came back to earth and proved beyond doubt that he was the son of God, the savior, the light. "I had nothing left to live for," the priest says.

>>>>At the majority of Catholic masses I have attended the Priest will end the mass with a blessing and say, “Go forth to love and serve the Lord”. One priest would say, “Go forth to love and serve the Lord and each another”. I like the latter and feel it helps us to realize that we are a community and should help each other.

Aren't you forgetting the other side of the coin, and all the witnesses who have different experiences? Sure, if the judge hears witnesses from only one side, then you are right, but in a real court of law, there is usually an opposing position. Then it becomes a little less black and white.
