Reflection 263
Based on the Vatican II
document (Comments welcome here) |
One
line from this article stands out:
Bishops
should regard priests as their brothers and friends
Priests are not a bishop's altar boys or servants or branch managers
In several of Joseph Girzone's "Joshua" books, the above theme is often mentioned with sadness since in many parts of the world, the Church is run more like a business than a community of faith
Jesus,
you said to your apostles "I don't call you servants, but friends".
May bishops and priests be genuine friends, not just business associates
