Open Policy Bishop Furey attributed the •very fine" ora' t;ituation at San D~go to his constant op nne s to hi~ priesb. "Personal contact is the beot means of establish!n,; good relationslups be- tween a bishop and his priests," he said. "We definitely have a high morale here. A good spirit is very important. When you have it, that !pirit is reflected by the parishioners. "Very few of our priests have left. We haYe had a few. We have had prob- lems. But we ham had 1 ery, very little trouble. '\ ·o one in thi diocese has any reason to keep hi~ problems to him~elf. If a priest is about to blow up, he can drop in and talk his problem ovet'. \Ve fre- quent1 can $ettle Jt out of court." 1 e ited an instance of a prIB t, a~signed to teach in a high school, who grew more and more unhappy and finally around to confess tha teaching is just not my cup of tea." "His problem was solved instantly," the bishop re- called. "He was given an- other assignment; he was happy, the problem fad- ed." He said that the priests of the four-county San Diego diocese, including Irish, Dutch, B e 1 g i an, :Mexicatt, E n g 1 i s h and .American clergy, had been •a~al amated successful- ' i one solid group." He hoped he could do the same thing at San \ntonio. Eishop Furey favors ch i n n o ' a t i o ns as prie ·ts' enates and pas- 1oral councils and said they harl proven "very ~ucce~:ful" at San Diego. He hoped rqual success ,vould attend them at San Antonio.
