I know a priest who was censured for being Western Rite to the extent that for over a decade he was kept from fellowship with other priests. Likewise he heard nothing from his bishop for many years. What few congregants he had finally left. He imploded. His marriage ended. All from lack of love and neglect. Many people think that a priest has to be some kind of hero who can withstand that kind of treatment. He is a true saint if he can. Most of us can't.
