It's my experience - and this is a huge generalization, so don't send me counter-examples because I know of several - that in general, the best priests now are either the very old who came up before Vatican II or the very young who came up during the reign of JP the Great; but it's the ones in-between that are most likely to cause you trouble.
Exactamundo!
Which means: Rely on the old guys for wisdom and guidance--or even just common sense! And take hope in the young crop coming up.
