Brian Higgins with Fr. Bryan Small, who now is at Emory's Catholic Center (http://www.emorycatholic.org/tp40/page.asp?ID=61125). Regardless, I agree with your point: Fr. Bryan was awesome and I was sad to see him transfer, but I bet he's great working with the college students now! RZ –

A priest can be so wonderful in so many ways and stumble in this area. Unfortunately this is also one of the most public of their jobs and the one most people judge them by (many times harshly - I too am guilty). A priest that struggles in this area might be really great in the confessional or many other areas that don't get near the recognition. Also, when new priests start out they need time to develop their style and get used to the public speaking. It is just a shame that sometimes priests are taken out of a parish just when they are hitting their stride. (Father B - just getting good when transferred.) Oh this is so true.

Hitler would have been a fantastic priest! Wait, I may have missed the point. You are so right. Hitler would have been a fantastic priest!
