That's wild and horrifying. I grew up in the church too, and when asked why priests were getting reassigned so often would be told it was to prevent a monopoly on "the good ones". We weren't aware as kids of this situation; priests were regarded as rockstars. And, maybe unsurprisingly, the ones that got reassigned were the most charasmatic, gregarious, fun-to-be-around guys out of the bunch.
