Now I see mostly lonely middle-aged or old men. Who wants to end up like that? Turn out to members of your family (your parish), share their grief, support them through it, go home to the presbytery, close the door. You are alone. Get the flu. Vomit, nobody there to make you a nice hot drink. Clean it up yourself, even if you are in a fever. Not good is it? If a town has two or three parishes, each with one priest, why can't the priests live together? The parishes could share the costs of a housekeeper, even if he or she only came in during daytime.
