Maybe the author uses the term "pastor" in a general way, like a pastor of a flock. I guess, he wanted to say that he confronted his spiritual guide if I can put it that way. Someone who guides him spiritually.Lunastella wrote: ↑18 Dec 2020, 12:09 Does anyone else find it strange that the author talks about a pastor when he was raised a Catholic?
I quote: "When I confronted my pastor with this observation he said to me, “most people don’t think that deeply”(p. 3).
I was raised a Catholic too and we refer to religious leaders as Priests or, more commonly, Father.
Did I miss something?

by their congregation as Father. I have never heard them being referred to as a
Pastor. For me the term Pastor belongs to the Protestant church.

I don't think he missed anything, I just feel he decided to just imply the term pastor instead of a priest. Although we all know priests are for the Catholic church and pastors are for Orthodox Church.María Andrea Fernández wrote: ↑18 Dec 2020, 12:09 Does anyone else find it strange that the author talks about a pastor who was raised a Catholic?
