I like and respect the low level clergy that I've interacted with, for the most part. It's troubling that when they attract negative attention from higher up, they're picking a fight with their employer and land lord at the same time, and they can't just find another company to work for. And most of them have no savings to support themselves with, if they come to a parting of the ways with the bosses. On the other hand, the clergy who have money don't have any reason to disagree with the bad moves by the bosses.

I'm willing to give Pope F. a chance, after opposing the last two strongly. I would like to see any info regarding his actions during the Argentine gov's fascist death squad era. I checked Penny Lernoux's book Cry of the People, but didn't see him mentioned.
