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.
