Catholic Diocese Of Joliet

Bishop Conlon talks about Vatican II Council's Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests -- in Latin it is called "Presbyterorum Ordinis" -- and how priests lead with spiritual power and authority -- in the sense that they are leading people on a pilgrimage, as shepherds representing Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. to God the Father. The priest also should serve those who are in the greatest need and should maintain objectivity and shouldn't dissent from Church teaching or discipline when it comes to the liturgy.
