Something very wrong with priestly formation

It's as clear as the nose on one's face that there is somethng profoundly wrong with how the church 'forms' its priests.

There is something profoundly worrying about the 'attitude' to formation.

There is something profoundly wrong with how church authorities appoint people to care for men studying for priesthood.

There is nothing one can do about the past. Maybe we can learn from it. But the Catholic Church seems impervious to what has happened.

Indeed, there are many in the church who genuinely believe that the church is being attacked.
