A friend of mine is a permanent deacon in a parish that recently received a new pastor, a youngish man (mid-thirties), ordained about six years. The man came to the parish with his cassock, biretta and a sense of mission -- to undo what was in place, to do it quickly, without attending to the culture or history of the parish, and without listening to anyone.  My friend the deacon -- who is fairly conservative himself -- makes this telling observation about the young pastor: He has no joy in him.  I think that does not bode well for the man or for the parish.
