Conscientious clergy, formidably knowledgeable (in liturgics, dogmatics, history, and in canon law), and also very pious and humble. It is these people that made me understand why the laypeople are calling the clergy “fathers.” This presents a unique opportunity for me to grow; an opportunity that is not available to many clergy.
