Reflecting on Priestly Example

The Archdiocese of Baltimore has been doing a series of reflections on the Priesthood for the Year of the Priest. These are neat, because they come not from theologians but from regular folks - and many from young people. This week, Your Humble Blogger is the reflector, speaking about my childhood pastor, Msgr. Fortenbaugh - or "Footsie" as he was known. I talked about him this past Holy Thursday as well, and this video serves as my YouTube debut, I think, on that same priest.

Father Austin,

That was a very lovely and touching video. Thank you for sharing your reflections.

Where I live, we have a Monsignor who seems to have the same sort of reactions among people. He and my uncle exchange wits all the time.

The video is awesome. Even though we haven't officially met yet, you are truly a blessing to all the Towson students.
