St. John Vianney says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“The priest must realize that his vocation is to save souls – not to please people. Often, he must hurt egos by standing up for the Truth; but this is always towards the soul's salvation. Priests must never be at odds with what Heaven desires in favor of what man wants. Any power or authority given over to a priest must be used towards the welfare of souls, not towards any self-advantage or popularity.”

“Truth must not be a commodity of convenience. Faith and Truth cannot coincide with compromise. There can be no gray lines where Faith and Truth are concerned. Respect of authority also means holding authority accountable to the Truth.”
