Some Clergymen Lose Faith But Continue Career

Lay Catholics who lose the faith, stop practicing and disappear from the Church – “unless they are Church employees”, Father Ray Blake notices on marymagdalen.blogspot.com.

According to Blake, clergymen who stop believing but carry on “in many cases become even more concerned about developing their own careers”.

Blake underlines that when the faith goes, so too do the other theological virtues, hope and charity, “The result is people who are depressed and bitter or cruel or those who are aggressively destructive of faith”.
