Trier, Germany (dpa) – A Polish Catholic clergyman on loan to Germany has been suspended from his priestly duties because he refuses to move out of a presbytery and go home, a spokesman for the German archdiocese of Trier said Monday.
I found the headline for the story rather funny "Immovable Polish priest in Germany suspended."
It brings to my imagination a priest frozen in position that nobody and lift up and move. Challenging people to lift him up if they can.

I have a friend in seminary for the Diocese of Trier. Unfortunately, I think it’ll be at least two years until his deaconate ordination and three until his priestly ordination…
Ah, the age-old question: can God make a priest so big even He cannot move him?
Not only is he frozen in place, he’s hanging from the ceiling, maybe with some pretty lights draped in his hands? hee hee
Just remember what Jesus meant when He said ‘faith can uproot mountains and throw them to the sea’. Apparently it might work on that priest, though I do not mean thatwe actually throw him to the Rhine or the Mediterranean.
