Too many priests today (not all, of course, but too many) have succumbed to luxuria. Dr. Hildebrand has addressed the problem of clergy who have the best entertainment centers, drink the best wines, and some of whom read Playboy. They dine in the best restaurants and live a soft life. Unlike Our Lord Jesus Who worked as a carpenter.<br /><br />I knew a priest who would take two week long vacations to the Virgin Islands. This scandalized many of the laity who cannot afford to do the same.<br /><br />This same priest would go with another man, with whom he was having a sexual relationship, and was later found guilty of molesting a teenage boy."<br /><br />I agree. We need a culture change in this area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-60237376474797964782016-05-14T08:28:34.157-07:002016-05-14T08:28:34.157-07:00Saint Paul supported himself as a tent maker; the ...Saint Paul supported himself as a tent maker; the Benedictines have as their motto: Ora et Labora - Prayer AND work.<br /><br />A sure remedy!Rita Jeannine Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201052057169125407noreply@blogger.com
