But you might have become a burnt-out case after a few years. Fr. Andrew Greeley, who used to write a regular column before he turned to churning out books with red covers, had a unique idea about the Catholic priesthood. he thought it should remain celibate, but that priests should be able to serve for a few years and be released from their vows if they so chose. Priests would not face a lifetime commitment to service and to celibacy. I suspect that it's healthier to be a social worker for only a few years, unless you're saint like Dorothy Day.steve on the slow trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257811143869341854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808394751443360145.post-31838996089221033422009-02-18T11:03:00.000-08:002009-02-18T11:03:00.000-08:00Interesting thoughts.Interesting thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808394751443360145.post-1569430554593797622009-02-18T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-18T08:26:00.000-08:00Don't think I could go into social work, despite h...Don't think I could go into social work, despite having a psychology degree. I was a much stronger and more resilient person back then. Now, I am too sensitive, easily touched, and things I see or hear could get to me and stay a while.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.com
