Some people today criticise the Catholic priesthood due to some serious misconducts coming from some Catholic priests. In view of this unaccepted behaviour from some priests, it could be said that even some Catholic priests do not know the secret behind this priesthood. There is a hidden force behind the call to the Catholic priesthood, the life and ministry of Catholic priests. The knowledge of this secret is the only secret behind the success of any Catholic priest and the ignorance of it accounts for the failure of many Catholic priests and eventually the criticism of the Catholic priesthood by some people. What is this secret? It is really worth knowing. It will be a great discovery to you to come across this secret behind the Catholic priesthood.
