    Most priests I have met just consider it a job, not so much a reflection of their own holiness. Some of them are true shepherds, but a lot of them are sheep themselves. A few are wolves, unworthy of the office at all. Going to seminary opened up my eyes to a lot of things behind the scenes that are both inspiring and unsavory. The best kinds of priests I have found are usually the ones running retreats. I think the Bishops know and try to get them to be a good influence on people SENT to retreats… Anyway, do not confuse the faith for the shoddy work of a few old guys who answer to more old guys. Remember, Jesus Himself picked Judas and look what he did.
