No, liberals do not hate authority, but abuses of authority (including the presumptiousness to exercise it, especially if such presumptuous personnel have neither gift nor knowledge to exercise it justly and effectively).

You have contradicted yourself . In your first response , you asked why a priest's fatherhood should mean that his parishioners are thereby inferior to him. Now you ask why a priest's 'leading' a parish should be offensive. Can you not decide which way to turn? If a priest is leading, his parishioners are, ipso facto, his inferiors, in the sense that they must follow his naturally 'superior' lead.

You keep missing my point: priests are commanded by Christ to be servants, not masters. Since when has a servant lead his master?

Clericalism is a cancer in our Church. And it is rooted in the delusion that a priest, by dint of 'ontological transformation' at ordination, is now a natural leader. Someone most special. This is why Catholic children were sacrificed.
