Dear johnb2004,

At least a few times a year, every time I hear Cardinal McCarrick give a homily. I have never heard him say Mass without bringing up the need for vocations, and how wonderful, heroic, and adventurous can be the life of the celibate, chaste priest or religious.

He is very affecting in this. He will point out into the pews and say something like, "I know that there are young men and women RIGHT HERE listening to me whom God is calling!"

At the pro-life Mass on Thursday, he asked these men and women to stand, and hundreds did.

You are fortunate. I have never heard a single homily on the benefits of celibacy. Only on EWTN.
