<p>Agreed. Diocesan Priests are often a little protective of their turf and don’t get into talking about different order priests. My parish now frequently invites them as guest speakers, to run small weekend retreats etc: Jesuits, Redemptorists, Franciscans, Benedictines.</p>
<p>I have HUGE respect for many of these order priests and their interesting and colorful history going back hundreds of years. Its fascinating. </p>
<p>I’m Jesuit educated, btw.</p>
