A LOT has changed since this article was written in 2003, especially the reception of some of the most powerful Protestant theologians into the Catholic Church. Why are you posting it now?

My diocese had only a couple of seminarians in 2003. Now, under a new bishop, we have 15 or maybe more. We've also received several ex-Episcopalian clergy, some of whom will pursue ordination to the priesthood.

For Pentecost I was at the church of the priest who is the priest to call for vocation (sorry, having a brain cramp on what that title is). The two young men assisting him were both seminarians. One was from Vietnam -- he had spent 2 years in prison for his faith (his uncle is still in prison in Vietnam). The other was from that parish, had finished High School last year and was now fulfilling his dream of studying for the priesthood.

The Holy Spirit is answering prayers for vocations.
