The church in eastern NC is growing; unfortunately, the pool of priests includes many "rent a priests" from South America and Africa. I have personally seen two examples of their attitudes: arrogance, demeaning to women, and to parish staff,  but also hard working, and try to write and deliver quality homilies. The result is a slow movement from the parish to another Catholic community; however, the angst and anger cannot be overlooked. The loss of individuals and couples is reflected in fewer social ministry activities, an even poorer music program(!), and a general dismal attitude in the pews. WWJD?
