I felt a little disloyal last night. Our parish priest, a good man, was explaining to us in advance of a public announcement in a couple of weeks , that the shortage of priests meant an even more radical shake-up for the Deanery. He is going to shoulder the burden for yet more of the surrounding parishes and obviously was dreading the extra pressure. I felt sorry for him but then had the disloyal thought that the same thing has happened to me over the last few years and indeed everyone I know in every other "industry" has come under the same sort of pressure. Even allowing for the unique nature of the priesthood, is the present rationalisation worse than anything the rest of us have had to shoulder? John |
