Yes, one is certainly more important than the other. As long as our Pastor says the Mass properly, and as long as he does confessions and other needed things, I can live with it. It’s the Catholic Church, even if I sometimes have to plug my ears in order to think.
He does ad lib once now in the Mass (used to be a little more often):
“Look not upon our sins, but upon the faith of your Church—the faith of each and every one of us. . . .”—he seems to be a “we are Church” sort of guy—but he’s basically very well meaning and does nothing out of line to undermine the sacraments.
You really have to weigh things. We have one priest here who is an absolute flake most of the time, gives long rambling homilies full of jokes - but, oddly enough, he occasionally says something excellent - and has actually only recently ceased to ad-lib (he’s retirement age).
I think he’s quite orthodox and one of the sad things, I think, is that he’s felt apologetic about it for all these years and knew he was not one of the “in-crowd,” that is, they were not orthodox and mostly gay and he would not have been acceptable to our former (female) vocations director.
So I definitely cut him some slack.
