A part of the reason why Bishop Serratelli is writing these articles is because of an incident at a recent ordination Mass. There were some parishioners in attendance who wanted the Bishop to keep one of the newly ordained priests at their parish. They thought it would be a good idea to tell him that directly. So, during the communion procession, instead of saying "Amen" when they received the Eucharist, they told the Bishop they wanted him to keep Fr. so and so at their Parish.

He was livid to say the least. He almost denied them their request. I believe that is certainly one catalyst to him writing this wonderful article.
