My most recent life has been a period of priestly conflict. I have a great deal of respect for the priests I lived with, but we agreed about almost nothing. I used to joke about the fact that the two things Jim and I agreed upon was scotch and Jesus.
This is why, when it happens, that true priestly fraternity, a sharing of similar ideas and common goals, along with the communion in the suffering and the struggles of those working together in a divided church, when this fraternity is experienced, it is remarkably refreshing. Both in Pittsburgh and in Rome I have had these experiences and it has been wonderful.

3 priests, 2 members of societies of apostolic life (me and an Oratorian), 1 Dominican brother, 1 Benedictine brother, 2 New York seminarians, and 2 lay men open to the priesthood (Dennis Vu and another gentleman).
With Fr. David Spencer, a Mercedarian from the USA studying Liturgy in Rome.
