Another take on it from Catholic World News. In their private subscription thread, the overall take is positive. I suppose those who read more "Vaticanese" need to check this over to see how strong it is.

"The call to Orders is the personal responsibility of the Bishop or the major superior. Holding present the opinion of those to whom the responsibility of the formation is entrusted, the bishop or the major superior, before admitting a candidate to ordination, must reach a morally certain judgment on their quality. In the case of a serious doubt in this respect, they must not admit him to ordination. "
For more than 2 decades, our bishop has called to orders only homosexual men. Since the sex abuse scandal when it was discovered that in many of these 'liberal' dioceses, one found the greatest number of abusers, the bishop has placed a very heterosexual and manly priest in charge of eliciting new recruits. The very orthodox catholics distrust anyone who acts on behalf of this bishop. I know of one family where the son felt called to the priesthood, and he explored multiple religious communities before selecting the one where he would attend their seminary.
This will be an immense challenge to those who support a different agenda from that of the Holy Father.
The approbation-line of B-16 does not include "forma specifica," meaning that this doc will NOT over-ride norms of Bishops' Conferences (and maybe even Bishops.)
So (if this is the real doc) we're kinda where we were 120 days ago. Bishops can and will do what they damn well please.
