The authors of malicious comments will be covered with exposé. And the authors of positive comments will receive a blessing. Have you met clergy who derive satisfaction from a sense of control, moralizing, inducing a sense of guilt, humiliating, dominating, having authority, lacking empathy, inability to listen, frightening with apocalyptic visions, provoking attacks on themselves through controversial statements and actions, in order to then play the role of the victim, not apologizing, taking offense, aggression in response to criticism, hitting the sensitive points of the interlocutor, using reprimand and praise at the same time to induce submission, focusing on their own appearance, engaging their strength and resources in renovations of the rectory and church buildings? At the same time, a narcissistic clergyman is able to gain the favor of his superiors? In my opinion, a priest should be a mature, responsible, strong and wise man in life, not an infantile youth. Jesus was a mature man when he began his public ministry.
