In Ireland the priesthood was for the clever son (provided he wasn't son to a doctor or lawyer). The idiot got to labour on the farm, or become a nun if a daughter.
Maybe in Ireland that was the case; I have heard that it was different in other places (maybe in England).
Always was good money in priesting in this country. And if you were clever about it there was always a comely lad (or lass if you were a weirdo) to warm your bed at night.
