In our parish, we've had nothing but dud priests come thru for the past several years. At one time you had to get there 15 minutes early to get a seat. Now you could shoot a cannon thru the place and never hit anybody. Needless to say, we've gone from very financially solvent to deep in the red, but somehow they just don't get it. Now they want those of us left to dig deeper.
It seems public speaking is the least emphasized course they offer in the seminary.-- if it's offered at all.
Keep those great stories coming Pat
I despise the current occupier of the Chair of Peter. The man is a communist. However th Curch has seen worse in the past and has survived. In the meantime cutting their spending money is one way to show resistance to the church's current stupidity
