I said "teenage minor" instead of just "teenagers" because I'm intentionally excluding 18 and 19-year olds.

This is something else that I recall someone here getting triggered about in the past, if said teenager is converting without their parents' approval, the notion being that teenagers can only belong to whatever their parents are, which is quite an authoritarian outlook. Like I've been to churches that have had teenage members who joined without their parents, and in some cases even without their parents' blessing, but of course we're not going to turn them away, that's kind of laughable.

If someone is stupid enough to hang around priests while underage, I say let them make their own mistakes.
We don't have priests.

Don't you adhere to the priesthood of all believers?
Never seen it mentioned in that exact terminology.
