In another survey, less than one-third of Catholic clergy said they had specifically suggested that young men enroll in seminary.

Archbishop Bruskewitz in the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska started getting LOTS of young men entering the Seminary in his Diocese. When asked why he thought they were willing to consider the priesthood, he replied "Because I asked them".

So true. How many of us do something for the first time only because we were asked to try it?

It's great to hear about a bishop who cares more about preaching the Gospel & the truth of the faith instead of honing his administrative skills.

I think our archbishop here in Indianapolis was somewhat gunshy when he was first appointed ten years ago. In the last 2 or 3 years, however, he has done a marvelous job of preaching and writing.
