What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
He leadeth the priests inglorious, and overthroweth the mighty. The great glory of the priest is the righteousness of those that are subject to him. Whence the excellent preacher saith well to his disciples; For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord? …
Thomas Aquinas
Priests excel by the reverence in which they are held, concerning which he adds, "he makes the priests inglorious." The first men and counselors in a kingdom or a city seem to excel in the prudence of their advice, and he says regarding them, "and he dispossesses the nobles," that is, he deceives them.
