My friend, there is no such thing as an honest day's work for career obsessed clericalists.  Yet exceptions do exist: There are a few in the Curia who work very hard, and with great personal integrity and genuine humility.  They truly practice spiritual discernment as modeled by Pope Francis, and are pastorally active not in fancy places, but in regular parishes.   Most others, however, have been sent to Rome because they are of no use in their own dioceses.  They should, in fact, never have been ordained simply because of their utter lack of pastoral and interpersonal skills.  Their condition is incurable.  Nature alone can terminate it.  Until then, what is one to do with these poor sods?  Send them home and unleash them on the people?  Heaven forbid!  The real cause -important, but not the only one - is that in their home dioceses the emphasis has been far too long on quantity, not quality, of those who enter seminary.
