Bureaucracy- a killer of souls
Superb letter in the Tablet this week from a Father Christopher Heenan, Parish Priest of St Pius and St Ninian, Fife, Scotland.
Saying extra Masses does not tire Fr Heenan, but
"What I find stiffles my ministry, frustrates and tires me is the increasing amount of paperwork that passes over my desk"
He asks
"Could our Bishops look at the huge amount of paperwork produced in their name and put a match to it?"
No shortage of paperwork means a shortage of priests.
