The seminarians from the diocese I live in seem to an impressive group of young men. Many of them already have college degrees from great schools.

It is reassuring to hear that. For too long we’ve been willing to settle for whomever was willing to apply.

I have heard lefty types bemoan the fact that the seminarians today are so "backwards."

Praise God!

This shift comes at a time when Pope Francis, who became the Pontiff in 2013, is calling for a new kind of priest to serve in parishes across the world.

Just leave out the commie part.

>> Forget the old stereotypes of the priesthood—reserved men, removed and dogmatic, who present themselves at the lectern to guide their congregations. <<

When was that EVER what priests were like... apart from Monty Python sketches.
