Why did he do this....?

Question

When my priest left the church...for better things I guess. He said I was a such a good soul & gave me a hug. I left his office turned around and went back & asked him what he was going to do now. He seemed annoyed at my question but answered it anyway, I told him that sounded good & finally said bye. He didn't give me any contact info=(

Answer 1

He is leaving his old life behind and its scary for him. I don;t think he was annoyed at you, just a bit worried by your question. He probably just knew he wanted to leave being a priest, and is not all that confident about the next step.

Answer 2

So, what's the deal here?  The man is going to start a new life.  There's nothing mysterious going on here.

Answer 3

because hes starting a new life, maybe doesnt want to make it harder then it is with leaving.
