Priests go on hunger strike against Bishop

Why you may ask?

because they didn't like him "arbitrarily" assigning them to parishes. Most wanted to keep their suburban and country posts and not be sent to work in the cities. They also resented the fact that he has curbed their exorbitant and luxurious lifestyles financed off the backs of parishioners. They didn't like having a smaller pot to spend from and having to clear the larger amounts with a finance committee.

so...they are going starve themselves in front of a coffin they have inscribed with the name of their diocese.

no! FOR REAL!! they have written the name of the diocese on a coffin and have posted themselves in front of it to starve. I mean, what does that imply? is it death to the bishop? the diocese? themselves?

aaaaaahhhh gimme a break.

you can read one of the several articles about it here:

I suppose it is very Ghandi-ian of them.
.....and ridiculous.
