I just want to talk about that priest

The priest finally said at the end of the film that he finally found freedom is ink and pen. The priest has always abide by religious norms, abide by self-restraint, and finally find freedom. This shows that the religious adherence to the previous ones has suffocated the priest, and the priest's feelings for Martilian in the film also fully express this point. As a Christian, I actually doubt that the relationship between the priest and Jesus is real and intimate. I doubt that what the priest upholds is religion, not faith.
At the end of the film, the priest said that his text would be very dark to prepare the reader to know the full human nature. My question is shouldn't priests have a deeper understanding of the true sinful nature of people than the average person. It is because everyone has a darkness in their hearts that they cannot extricate themselves from, so they need redemption. For me, if it wasn't for Jesus, I wouldn't have a true understanding of human sin in its essence, and full humanity. But recently, I have seen many churches only talk about beauty and not about sin. I didn't pay attention to this before, until yesterday I watched goodtv's exclusive interview with Fan Weiqi in the heart is not closed. The pastor did not mention anything about human sin and Jesus' redemption in the entire sermon in the final challenge. Not even in the last prayer of resolution. The whole thing is that as long as you believe in Jesus and leave your troubles to God, you will have joy and peace. There is no difference between Jesus and the Bodhisattva at this time. It’s just that you believe that He listens to what He says and does good things according to what He says, and you will be blessed. Isn't this a typical religion, this is not a belief.
The first time I heard about the lakewood church in the United States was in a sermon at Mars Hill church. Later, I watched Humu's sermon video, and a core of goodtv. Talk about beauty, not sin. According to Wikipedia, Humu, the main theme of the sermon is prosperity theology. I finally understand why Tim Keller said in his sermon on the God of the Prodigal Son that most of the church today is the eldest son of the father.
I didn't even know what to say. It's been two years since I came to Beijing, and I haven't had a good gathering for a year. During this period, I have experienced chicken soup-style churches and prosperity theology churches, but maybe it is more of my problem, and I don't want to stay any longer. In the wandering, I also realized the problems that I did not find in the church before. Today, I still want to be committed to the church, which is what Jesus asked me to accept. Committed to what kind of church I have a preference for drifting, I don't know if I should compromise.

    "You must write, or you will die if you don't write." If you don't understand your vices deeply, you won't understand morality, and you won't understand human nature.
