Priests are not immune from that temptation, as sometimes it is too much for them. The resentment that foments within that part of the service industry is legendary. Given that the one who signs the check is also the one that the priest serves, perhaps a better comparison would be with the waiter who relies on tips.
#When does a priest get multispec plus#
If you’ve ever worked at a job where they asked for perfection (in this case, this can include requiring a graduate degree, bilingualism, and always-being-on-call, plus the normal PR, management, teaching, preaching, singing, etc.) but paid less than the market suggests it should, less than you expected, or less than your family needs, then you know how it can affect your attitude towards the one who signs your checks. This is a touchy subject among priests, and it won’t apply to all of them. It is about some of the temptations most parishes offer most priests much of the time. This blog post is not about cases like those (although it should be noted that one of the tactics people use is to demonize their priests/parishioners as if they were “terrible outliers”). Those are terrible outliers and it is the responsibility of deans, bishops, and all good people to step in, stop the behavior, and heal the damage. My last essay was not meant to excuse the kind of abuse that wicked pseudo-startsi (pseudo-elders), would-be gurus, narcissists, predators, and psychopaths inflict on parishes nor will this one excuse the intentional physical, emotional, and financial damage that far too many parishes intentionally inflict on their priests. As with complaints of the laity about their priests, some are so well-founded as to brook nothing but sympathy and support.
The complaints priests have about difficult parishes and parishioners are legion.
