Yup, it's time we paid our priests a decent wage. Adding more priests will be expensive too.
About 2000, I had dinner at a restaurant with a former seminary classmate. He complained that the SSPX had not increased priests' salaries since the early 1970s, and that it was thanks to his brother (a doctor), who had given him an AMEX card and met any charges incurred, that he could survive. The SSPX leadership have no idea about running an organisation.
This reminds me of the saying, "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys".
Did I dodge a bullet, or what?!?
