Very perceptive.
In his masterpiece “The Soul of the Apostolate”,
Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), Trappist Abbot of Sept-Fons,
expressed this maxim: “A holy priest coincides with a fervent populace;
a fervent priest - a pious populace; a pious priest - an honest
populace; an honest priest - an impious populace” (Italian version,
Rome 1967, p. 64).
So does an impious priest coincide with fervently impious people?
