I have...

great respect for people who are in the parish clergy.

I think they have real gifts and they do an excellent job, at least the ones I've been privileged to know.

Um, the idea of me being a kind of a counselor or a pastor, it just wasn't a good fit for me.

And then the other option would have been teaching religion.

And I didn't have that sort of, I guess, theological mind to do it.

So I reverted to something that I thought I could do, which was going to law school and being a lawyer and then being in politics.

Well, in short,

religion is not politics and politics isn't religion.
