To think of the lore dished out to clerical students on the values of celibacy by many men who have the most suspect connection with their own affective aspects is worrying.
How many men involved with the formation of priests have no social graces?
How many of these men are spoofs and charlatans, who are in their jobs because they are considered to have a
'safe pair of hands'?
With a few exceptions, it seems people in charge of priestly formation are careerists, with little or no vision, who are embroiled in the nonsense of clerical shenanigans and gossip.
Ever spot that pathetic cleric with the perfect black suit, large roman collar and sparkling white cuffs? Nearly forgot, the shiny shoes. The cufflinks too.
It was the uniform of the Legionaries of Christ. What a bizarre name.
We now know a little of what their 'holy' founder and leader was about.
It fits.

I saw Bishop Casey on a plane once. He passed me in the aisle. I noticed the very high quality material in his civvies dress.
We also had a Christian Brother in school whose unifrom though orthodox was clearly cut from a higher class of cloth.
Amazing the differences that can be achieved under the cloak of conformity.

Is there anything wrong with someone dressing well?
No. But you can spot the guys who think they are a cut above the others.

But would the world survive if people did not believe they 'were a cut above the others'?
The only sport I was any way good at at school was running and I was delighted to know I was faster than others. Surely nothing wrong with that.
