I'm asking twitter priests in all honesty. Why is it so important for you to stress to lay people that your vocation is inherently superior to ours? What lesson do you want us to learn from this? What spiritual value should it hold for us?

Because the lesson I'm GETTING can't possibly be the lesson you want me to get. Idk.

Do you want me to feel some kinda way about the sacrament of marriage? Do you want me to feel less joy in my sexual relationship with my husband? Do you want me to have like a weird nagging regret or to think a God's plans for me are inferior? Because like... I don't.
