Agreed.
I found the survey was done in 1550, of what were then Anglican priests, although they reverted to Catholic priests when Mary took the throne - unless they had married, in which case they were thrown out.
The Anglican Bishop who did the survey pushed for better education, but was himself executed by Mary in her attempt to make England Catholic again - which it largely still was, in the countryside.
FWIW, I’d rather have an uneducated priest with a sincere heart, than an educated one with a lot of pride. That goes for Baptist pastors, too. One of the finest Baptist pastors I’ve met had a high school education, but a heart for God.
Me too, but what an extraordinary joy it is to find an incredibly intelligent and well educated man of God with the heart of a child. FWIW - Many of the Baptists I have known have had that kind and sincere heart. They have embraced the Beatitudes better than a lot of Catholics I know.
