Excellent article! It reminds me of George Weigel's The Courage to be Catholic, wherein he describes steps that must be taken by American bishops to regain the confidence lost through the homosexuality scandal.

I agree that this is an "A" list article.

One statement bears repeating again and again: "It's no exaggeration to say that the health of a diocese is often reflected in the number and quality of its seminarians. In fact, it appears to be the case that when a diocese is faithful to Church teaching, vocations arise naturally."

If our churches provide leadership, inspiration, and are faithful to Church teachings, vocations sprout like flowers in spring.

It isn't the celibacy, folks. It's whether you inspire men and women to do and be something more. The Diocese of Arlington, Omaha and Lincoln are living proof.
