In 2016, Buenos Aires -- which has more than 3 million inhabitants -- will see only three of its seminarians ordained to the priesthood.

Some guy commented at the bottom of the Tres Lineas article..."why become a priest when Francis says that conversion to the faith is not necessary for salvation".

Good point.

Research indicates that conservative Bishops fill seminaries in the USA - progressive Bishops do not.

Is that then Cardinal Bergoglio in the cartoon character chasuble? If so, I find it incredible. Is is any wonder vocations dropped so far.

What’s a minor seminarian? Is that where you get sent if you don’t make the majors?

Coincidence or the real Francis effect?

Easy question: Francis effect.

Bergoglio taught literature and psychology at Immaculate Conception College in Santa Fé in 1964 and 1965, and also taught the same subjects at the Colegio del Salvatore in Buenos Aires in 1966. He studied theology and received a degree from the Colegio of San José from 1967 to 1970, and finished his doctoral thesis in theology in Freiburg, Germany in 1986.

He later returned to his alma mater, the Colegio of San José, where he served as rector (1980-86) as well as a professor of theology.

Pope Che has spoken. All bow to the Red Pope!

He’s a mouthpiece for the global elites, BTW.
