I love the Holy Father.

Fernando Botero

Rigidity – which wrecks one’s interior life and even psychic balance – goes hand-in-glove with worldliness: 

“About rigidity and worldliness, it was some time ago that an elderly monsignor of the curia came to me, who works, a normal man, a good man, in love with Jesus – and he told me that he had gone to buy a couple of shirts at Euroclero [the clerical clothing store] and saw a young fellow - he thinks he had not more than 25 years, or a young priest or about to become a priest - before the mirror, with a cape, large, wide, velvet, with a silver chain. He then took the Saturno [wide-brimmed clerical headgear], he put it on and looked himself over. A rigid and worldly one. And that priest – he is wise, that monsignor, very wise - was able to overcome the pain, with a line of healthy humor and added: ‘And it is said that the Church does not allow women priests!’. Thus, does the work that the priest does when he becomes a functionary ends in the ridiculous, always.” - Pope Francis

Today's homily actually reminds me of a very good priest I know - he's very important in the Church now - although he never wanted to be.  He once said something to me about a very rigid priest, that though it may sound uncharitable, he hoped this young priest would experience a fall, so that he could learn humility.  A few years later he did fall - not into sin - but something happened, causing him to resign his position.  He's still a priest, but inactive.  My friend became a bishop.
