Well, thanks for the heads-up.

I think it’s sad, really. You know what I think about clergy talking about “MY ministry.” Bad stuff.

Any time the ego gets in the way it's bad, not just in the priesthood -- but the consequences are so very bad there.

In the business context, my dad calls it "Believing your own press releases."

This poor priest (and I really do feel for him) has gotten his personal opinions and desires all messed up to the point that he thinks they have primacy over the teachings of the Church he promised to obey and serve.

It all comes down to that in the end, doesn't it? "Non serviam."
