I hope and pray that this increase in candidates is true and that good men now feel "safe" in becoming a priest. How sad that many good men may have left the seminary, or not even gone into a seminary, because of the gay take-over. We can only hope that they will continue to be vigilant about who is accepted and that there will then continue to be an increase in the number of men wanting to be priests.

I was one of them. In the early '80's, I knew something was wrong. But was too young to know the depths of depravity ....
Now, my priesthood is centered around my wife and family, rather than the Church as my bride and family (In persona Christi). If God calls me later in life after my marriage, if He wills it, I will serve Him.
