This means we have twice as many Catholics per priest. 50,000 churches have no priest. Seminary numbers may be increasing a little here and there but overall, they are declining when we look at national, global, and long term trends. The Holy Spirit is no longer whispering, she is yelling loudly and clearly -we need to expand the priesthood to married and celibate priests to keep God's commands to love God and neighbor and to serve all God's people.Rosannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939172017720413751noreply@blogger.com
