Dear Jeff,

Priests can be administrators of the church works (chancery
officials, schools, et al.), writers and editors, teachers
and researchers, scientists, lawyers, fund raisers, preachers
and lecturers, psychiatrists and counsellors -- in fact,
practically any work which advances human well being and the
gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely in Christ,
Father Mateo

- Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit -

Sysop note: Sorry for the delay, as always it was this sysop who
misplaced your question and Father Mateo's answer. Happy it is
now found and finding its way to you.
