Personally, I think that the laity should have some input on the suitability of candidates to the priesthood

Its called our baptismal responsibility. All too often we laity are lax in our participation in the faith. We have had seven priestly vocations and one diaconal vocation come out of our parish in the last seven years. Three priests are already ordained, one more this June, one next year and two the following year. One permanent diaconal ordination this October. All were called out by and approved of by the faith community. Very early church...its been wonderful.
