A pope greatly disturbed with clerical madness

"I become an anti-clericalist in a flash when I am faced with an officious priest.

The church is or should go back to being a community of the people of God and priests, pastors and bishops should be at the service of the people of God."

The person who said this would have great difficulty surviving in certain strata within the clerical church in Ireland.

The words were spoken by Pope Francis.
