By Phil Lawler, CatholicCulture - The primary duty of priests, on the other hand, is to provide their people with the sacraments and with orthodox teaching and counsel—to nourish the army of evangelizers, and then send them out into the fields to bring in the harvest. The fact that so many Catholics are not attending Mass regularly, that so many Catholics apparently do not feel that they are nourished by the Eucharistic liturgy, points to an urgent need for priests to fulfill their own primary role, rather than looking for new fields to conquer.
