From what I've seen of it here in London most of the older priests are already disgracefully overloaded with all sorts of worries and responsibilities. It's only my opinion but the younger ones don't seem to have such heavy burdens to carry. But then they have further to go. Year in and year out the responsibilities must be more burdensome than the actual work. I'd like to see some periphoral parish responsibilities - redundant property, for example - transferred to the diocese, and then contracted out to professional firms, under the supervision of professionally qualified laypeople employed by the diocese. You'll remember that in the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 6, it is recorded that the Apostles handed over some of their workload to deacons, one of whom was Stephen. |
