What a lot of cradle catholics don’t get is this: A lot of priests are not in parish ministry. Let me repeat: A lot of priests are not in parish ministry. Let that sink in.
Many, many priests teach, work in offices, are even groundskeepers & bookkeepers for church properties.
Your Bing Crosby mental image is a figment of your imagination.
Get a grip and some perspective, people.
A note to about 3/4 of the Catholics I know: Please get past being in the 6th grade when it comes to your religion. Grow up. It won’t kill you. It may help you and it will certainly help the church.
