“Once the priesthood becomes exclusively cultic, sacramental and ecclesial, it loses its mission to those not of the fold and to a world ‘on tiptoes awaiting redemption’. On the other hand, the reaction from the priestly to the worldly alone, turns priests into politicians, clerics into sociologists, and religious into sad-eyed visionaries. Christ is both Priest and Victim. The two were never meant to be disjoined.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Those Mysterious Priests)
