It always turns me off when local bishops voice their disdain for our Pope. The other day, I was visiting a church when the focus of the conversation was why woman couldn't be priests and how unfair it was. Adoration seems like a side line in some of the politically correct churches.

I am grateful that my home church is very conservative and the church is bursting at the seams. They are so devout and we actually have home grown seminarians! It is a joy to attend Mass where JESUS is the name in which we pray! There is so much charity for the poor because JESUS IS THE FOCUS!

Any time a church or even a diocese is conservative, it’s bursting at the seams and there are seminarians galore. I just got back from Madrid, which a few years ago had virtually no seminarians. A new bishop (Cardinal Archbishop, actually) came in and immediately devoted himself to encouraging traditional devotions, personal piety, pro-life activities, etc. and now...at the Corpus Christi procession last week, there must have been nearly 100 seminarians filing in. Amazing what a difference orthodoxy makes!
