At the beginning of Christianity to be pope, bishop, consecrated etc, meant to be the first candidate to be devoured by wild beasts, the first candidate to suffer and die as a martyr.
But today, in my country, priests, religious and other consacrated person, have a good social status, even if they are not rich, they are not poor either and many poor people may well wish to be in their situation.
So, i find that, the official consacreted life in that context doesn’t no longer necessarily a proper way to reach effectively the christian perfection life.
