Please...I’ve had quite enough of most Boomers and their kumbaya influence on the Church. They’re usually the ones clamoring for married, multi-divorced, and women priests. Believe me there are some ex-priests who wanted to have their cake and eat it too who would love to get back in front of an altar now that they have an expired bottle of Viagra on the bedstand with one foot in the grave and are once again inclined toward the spiritual rather than the temporal. I would rather have Holy Mass once a month offered by a humble, holy priest than daily Mass by a vacation condo-owning, shark suited, gladhanding priest who’s in it for power and prestige. God bless Pope BXVI!!
Grrrr.... I sat at table with a parishioner the other day who expressed she believes priests should be able to marry, because then we wouldn’t have to donate to their retirement fund! Ugh. I consider it an honor to contribute, and we did so yesterday.
LOL! Definitely. Furthermore, the priesthood shouldn't become just a second career for retirees. Enough already.
You couldn’t be more correct. Speaking as a Baby Boomer myself, we need to keep those of my generation as far from the clerical ranks as possible. They have been smoking the dope of women priests, married clergy, Kumbaya Catholisism, contraception, abortion and voting for the Democrat party, etc etc for a long time. Let’s let the new generation of young men take to the ranks and let’s keep ordaining bishops like Burke of St. Louis. That’s the hope for the Church. To quote a 30 year old orthodox priest in our parish when making referecne to the Baby Boomers: “They’ll all be dead soon.”
