Maybe Shakespeare wrote from his own experience of the wrong kind of
priests.

Marlowe certainly was plagued by this type.

The Shakespeare Code

Watching the Met's presentation of "Romeo et Juliette" on PBS and it
comes to me, yeah verily, that crafty olde bard of Avon hath left us
lessons in codes a plenty.

First lesson that one should learn from "Romeo and Juliet," as well as
from "Much Ado About Nothing" and even from "Twelfth Night" is when
one puts one's trust in monks, friars, or priests, one ends up dead,
pretending to be dead, or wanting to be dead. No good can come from
consorting with the religious caste in Shakespeare's plays.

Let this be a lesson to us all.
