Jobs for the prayers

Double meaning in the Diocesan newspaper in Linz. Vorbeter are those who say the bidding prayers. The headline could mean "Jobs for the prayers" or in the article it means work places (fully equiped with the latest technology!).

It picks up on a degree of resentment that has built it between the priesthood and the self-appointing pseudo-clerical elite, especially in the form of pastoral assistants who now are in power in parishes.
