Carpers!

Everywhere, says Cardinal Manning, we meet with whisperers, murmurers, critics, censors, and carpers who spare nobody, and least of all those whom they should most respect, if not for what they are, at least for the office they bear. Such minds invoke their own Nemesis. No priests are so carped at as they who carp at their brethren. No priests are so turned into ridicule as those who ridicule Superiors. Carping in a priest betrays the absence of the gift of piety. (The Eternal Priesthood, Chapt. XVI.)
