In the Complete Works of St. Teresa de Avila
http://archive.org/details/SaintTeresaOfAvilaCollectedWorksComplete pdf page 1230 concerning the first foundation of discalced friars we read the following:

6. On the First or Second Sunday of Advent (I don't remem­ber which of these Sundays it was), in the year 1568, the first Mass was said in that little stable
of Bethlehem, for it doesn't seem to me the house was any better. The following Lent, while on my way to the foundation in Toledo, I passed by there. When I arrived in the morning, Father Fray Antonio was sweeping the doorway to the church with that joyful expression on his face that he
always has. I said to him: "What's this, my Father; what has become of your honor?" Telling me of his great happiness, he answered with these words: "I curse the day I had any."

The Spanish reads "respectability". Although it is something I read many years ago this lesson has never been lost on me. The desire for respectability in clergy is a true curse; and I often wonder how this desire can affect our vision and judgement of Rome!
