Yes, well it is Lent, and yes, maybe he would prefer something stronger, but how about buying your priest a beer this week?
Here’s the deal: Catholics need to be nicer to their priests. It used to be that priests were members of a happy, bustling community—almost universally respected, pampered and well-fed by the empty-nesters of the parish, and they had plenty of company from priests their own age. That has changed. The priesthood has always been a demanding life—but I don’t think it’s ever been as lonely as it is today.
So get him a beer!
