Who Is A Priest? by Nobody: 2:57pm On Oct 03, 2017
Pity the priest and what then shall the priest do
A man of misunderstood identity

<if the priest preaches over 20 minutes, he is too long winded, marathon
<if sermon is short, he is in a hurry, no substance
<if he takes time at the confession, he is sluggish
<if he doesn't, he is not a good confessor
<if he starts mass on the dot, his watch is fast
<if he is a bit late, he's holding up the congregation
<if he dresses neatly, he is a guy man, if he dresses shabbily, he is too archaic
<if he is happy and jovial with people, he is a joker or clown, if he doesn't laugh,he is a sadist
<if he is always with the old, the young feels he has no youth apostolate
<if he is close to the rich, the poor calls him an oppressive capitalist and a bourgeois, if he mixes with the young, the old frowns at him.
<if he is young, he is inexperienced, if he is old, he should retire.
<if he decorates the church, he is spending too much money
<if he doesn't, he is letting the church down
<if he visits the parishioners, he is nosey. If he doesn't, he is snobbish.
<if he wears his soutane always, he is tridentine type (old fashioned)
<if he mentions money in the pulpit, he is grasping, if he doesn't, he is milking the rich
<IF HE ORGANIZES ADORATION MASSES AND PRAYERS WITH PARISHIONERS, HE IS OUT FOR MONEY, IF HE DOESN'T, HE IS NOT SPIRITUAL.
<if he is generous and give freely, he is too extravagant, if he is not so generous, he is not spiritual and he is too stingy.
<IF HE SPEAKS OUT ON SOME ISSUES, HE IS TOO VOCAL. IF HE DOESN'T, HE IS A COWARD.
<if he closes his doors to people, he is too cloistered, if he opens them, he is too free, no privacy.
<if he mixes with people and dresses well, he is too social, if he doesn't, he is anti social.
<if he is very pious and prayerful, he is a monk and should have gone to the monastery. If he is not, he has no root: shouldn't have been a priest at all.
<if he preaches on the commandants, he is revealing the seal of confession, if he doesn't, he is involved.
<if he keeps his words and insist on the doctrine : he is too strict, too dogmatic. If he doesn't, he should be sent back to the seminary.
<IF HE IS SEEN WITH GIRLS AND FIGHTS FOR WOMEN'S AGENDA, HE IS FEMINIST AND NEVER SERIOUS WITH CELIBACY
<if he hates women, he is a male chauvinist, if he condemns heresies, he is too conservative
<if he is ecumenical and welcomes others opinions, he is a radical progressive.
<if he believes in mental prayer, he is a medieval contemplative ,not open to ,the spirit.
<IF HE GIVES ATTENTION TO PEOPLE IN HIS OFFICE, HE IS LISTENING TO GOSSIP
<IF HE USES A GOOD CAR AND KEEP THE PARISH UP-TO -DATE: HE IS TOO WORLDLY AND MATERIALISTIC. IF HE DOESN'T, HE HAS A PRIVATE ACCOUNT AND SPONSORING HIS RELATIVES ;if he dies, there will never be his equal and what then shall the priest Do?
<if he is generous, preaches prosperity and helps the poor, he's rich philanthropist, a man of the people.
<if he is out right outspoken and criticizes the social order, he is a radical Prophet, if he is gentle and prudent in criticism, he is a cunning diplomat. Note, do not discuss your priests rather pray for them.
