All that is fair

Mumbai, India - 300 priests gathered with Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, to work on a fairer policy regarding postings to churches and access to to the Archbishop's time. Transparency is key. A cloud of favoritism has been suspected by many priests when it comes to assignments to "better" churches. 

Public relations officer of the diocese, Father Anthony Charanghat, announced, "To ensure that transfers are just and equitable, the conference of diocesan and priest will advise on transfers." The average tenure at a parish is 6 years. Priests were also encouraged to spend more time studying the scriptures and less time exploring the latest technologies, i.e., the web. Charanghat said, "People can seek professional guidance elsewhere but spiritualism is something we impart."
