One of the many contagious sicknesses plaguing priests and religious is a sense of entitlement. Unfortunately, the sense of entitlement is not in any spiritual aspect (son of God)! The entitlement is purely on the basis of being a priest or religious… of wearing a cassock or habit. Not on the basis of one’s merit, hard work, depth of personality, confidence, or any other virtue, but just because ‘I am a priest/nun’. By itself, this sense of entitlement is bad; coupled with ignorance, incompetence, lethargy and power, it is lethal!
