I agree. I think many don''t particularly like that part of the job, which would generally be better done by a layperson with more practical experience in any case. However, the post VatII Church seems to expect them to do this while the laypeople to do the jobs formerly done by the priests.
Oddly enough, I do remember, way back when at the dawn of VatII, that there was talk of making the laity more responsible for the nuts and bolts of plant maintenance, etc. and freeing the priests to devote more time to spiritual tasks in growing parishes. Strange that it turned out almost the opposite.
That's interesting.
In some parishes, there are finance committees that really do run things. When Father keeps his mitts off, things usually end up alright. It's when they start meddling...I know too much about a few parishes.
The other thing that is a problem is that you get volunteers from all over and there are some that drive away others, sometimes very good ones. It's a pitfall.
