[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not like the old days when churches had 5 priests.  Most chuches now have 1-2 priests and they are often on the older size.  Adding a holly day of obligation back to back with Sunday — in addition to all the weddings, funerals, confessions, announcing of sick that must take place on weekends — is really crushing for the priests.  It’s less about the faithful being lazy and more about the church just being really stretched thin already.  Give these poor guys a break!  I remember seeing a priest that had done something like 7 masses in a 36 hour period because he was the only priest assigned to the parish.  He stood up for the last homily and he looked like he was about to have a heart attack.  He apologized and said he was too exhausted for a long homily so would get right to the point and said just love one another.  And we all said a big Amen.

It sounds like going into the priesthood is not a god career move for good Catholic boys anymore.   Maybe they're better off becoming social workers, but then they have to  look after people of all religions and no religion at all - not just Catholics.[/quote]
