Fr. Z's flight home.
I so wanted a cocktail after seeing this.
I'm not envious, but I must admit, sometimes I wouldn't mind being Fr. Z.
Seriously.
He's a priest on his own, he can say Mass and live in great intimacy with Christ in the Eucharist. He lives very well, he doesn't have a lot of responsibility, and he travels a lot, he eats quite well and drinks well - he wants for nothing a gift card can't obtain. Not a bad gig.
Father is on his way back to the United States tonight.
"Not a bad gig"
ReplyDelete"It's not such a bad way of getting through one's life," Cordelia on Sebastian in Bridehead Revisted.
Not many would envy Sebastian's way, but of more interest, which is the more Catholic?
I occasionally wonder what the deal is with him, but manage to remind myself that it's none of my business.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess if folks want to subsidize his life style, it's also none of my business.
At least he gets his theology right and doesn't lead anyone astray.
Adrienne writes : "At least he gets his theology right and doesn't lead anyone astray."
ReplyDeleteIn other words, when a priest does better than being a heretic leading the sheep astray, he's praised and subsidized as if he was the wellspring of heroic virtue.
