ASQUITH’S COMMENTS

 

German bishops’ report: laity want change in Church teaching; many priests do not pray regularly 

 

Let us be clear about such matters and not shilly-shally around like fools and worse. Priests who do not pray are not welcome in the Church, ever! You are what Christ describes as "false shepherds." Go and get a secular job, and don’t trip up on your way out of the Church!
