With the priest shortage, the grotesque sex abuse scandals, and the crisis in Europe with the declining Christian population from the culture of death and new threats from Islam, this selection provides a rallying point for the cause of Christian civilization in the West. Without that, the world is really lost. It makes sense on that basis. It WILL increase vocations to the priesthood. And many sill study in Rome. It strengthens Rome, the Vatican, the papacy,
and Europe.
How would the world have been lost if he wasn't from Europe? I think the Europeans have voted themselves as to what they want.
