In the parishes or convents he was used to see people simply for spiritual needs. Just for a few minutes or hours. He was the father who knew it all! At the same time he was used to be transferred from one place to another, just like a letter being sent from one place to another. In some cases the people know the local conditions better than the priest because the priest is just for a few years and then everybody expects him to get transferred.
Now he lives with a woman 24 hours a day. He is not the perfect man. His humanity is tangible. He makes mistakes. But this time, the married priest can have a healthy adult to adult relationship. He does not control everything. He exposes his defects and what hurts him. He speaks about why he is afraid of....or why he is unsure about... He is transparent. But he is living a normal life like everybody else!
