[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]but then they have to  look after people of all religions and no religion at all - not just Catholics[/b].[/quote]

Catholic charities and ministries serve people of need regardless of those people’s religion or lack thereof. [/quote]
