I get the sense Joe feels beleaguered and that's wrong/ he does a lot for us. we should be grateful and respectful.

he belongs to an organisation that will only employ you as a priest if you forswear sex. now I think even the most devout catholic would agree - you're bound to get more than a few odd coves - applying for jobs like that.

nevertheless Joe believes and identifies with the broad aims of the church. obviously gets some spiritual sustenance there - so leave him alone!

good guy!
