Episode 29 -- Life of St Philip Bk III.29 -- Persecution of Newly Ordained

Did everyone like the newly ordained Fr Philip Neri?

Having read about St Philip"s life as a newly ordained priest in terms of his offering of Mass, hearing confessions, and daily distribution of the word of God, we read in this episode about the hatred the two sacristans at St Jerome"s church felt towards St Philip. We will read how they persecuted him and tried to make him want to leave. Their tactics are somewhat surprising!
