I just call them all “Father.” Our Bishop is a nice man.

I have a tendency to be a little “sacriligious” with people who have titles before their names, like “doctor.” I end up calling them by their first names, because I realize they are people first.

It’s difficult for me to bite my tongue and say, “Father,” or “Doctor” or “Bishop.” Yah. “Pride goes before a fall.”

Anyway, all the priests I’ve ever met, regardless of their titles, have been “nice” and a lot of them have acute senses of humor. My Spanish teach was one of those. He was blond and blue eyed and really kept us laughing. He’s probably the only priest whose name I recall....
