Hi Shar.  I don't think that being pastoral is a bad thing... I think, my opinion only, that it is insufficient in today's world.  People can go to any number of "churches" to feel welcomed and valued and still remain unchallenged.  Unfortunately, the bishops have done little.  I don't know whether it is from fear or from becoming administrators.  It's been going on for a while.  Tertullian raged against bishops and Chrysostom is supposed to have said something to the effect that the streets of hell are paved with the bones of erring priests and the skulls of bishops are the signposts.
