There is a correlation between the prayer life of a priest and his ability to function as a priest.

Understatement of the new year!

“Older priests can tend to be more inventive with the liturgy,” said Father Schmelzer, a former educational psychology professor. “They may see the young priests as too dogmatic and not creative thinkers.

...said Bishop Carlson[:] “If they were ordained in the 1950s, the emphasis was social justice. Today, it’s orthodox teaching.”

Sounds like we're going in the right direction.

Fr. Gemme is Pastor at my Uncle's Parish and did my cousin's wedding.

The first thing he did when he got to St. Bernadettes' was put the Tabernacle back where it belongs then stop that stupid redundant hand holding.

Before it looked like a Unitarian Church, now (at least more so than before) it looks less like a suburban prayer barn and more like a Catholic Church.

He has a wonderful Marian Devotion.....hmmm orthodox and Marian and a good Priest....could they be related???
