PRIESTHOOD
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
If
the priest preaches more than ten minutes, he is too long-winded.
--
If
his sermon is short, he is too easy-going.
--
If
the parish funds are low, he’s a bad businessman.
--
If
he mentions money, he’s too grasping.
--
If
he visits his parishioners, he’s never home.
--
If
he doesn’t, he’s snobbish.
--
If
he runs bazaar and raffles, he’s bleeding the people.
--
If
he doesn’t, the parish is lacking in social life.
--
If
he takes time in the confessional, he’s too slow.
--
If
he doesn’t, he has no time for people.
--
If
he starts Mass on time, his watch is fast.
--
If
he is a bit late, he’s holding up the congregation.
--
If
he decorates the church, he’s spending too much.
--
If
he doesn’t, he’s letting it run down.
--
If
he’s young, he’s inexperienced.
--
If
he’s old, he should retire.
--
If
he dies, there will never be his equal again.
