The new priest hears a couple confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand."The new priest tries this.The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on, and I understand. How did you feel about that?'"The new priest says those things.The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee and saying 'No kidding?!? What happened next?'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
