Oh, for sure, being a minister of any religion is a tough job that involves a lot more work than many people might assume. That's the role GP was clearly referring to, there, though.
More usefully, GPs point, or something adjacent to it, might be stated like this: in our modern age, certain roles that were previously fulfilled by religious groups are now either being commercialised, taken on by the government, or left to fall by the wayside. As we navigate modernity it's important to understand the larger context so we can make better decisions about how we handle the resulting changes in our social support structure, and what we might need to intentionally add back in.
But yeah, don't become a priest if you're looking for an easy job. I didn't mean to imply that.
They really have Monday morning and Monday afternoon mass? Friday afternoon? This seems like a lot more activity than the Catholic churches that I know.
