I've no idea if its true, but I once read online that during training for priests, they spend considerably more time reading about bible scholars and their views on the religious texts, and less time reading the actual text themselves and getting their own opinions.

There again there is a reason why the holy hand grenade sketch doesn't simply say "count to 3 and throw it".
