A Francis (George) Generation? by Stephen P. White

Note: Amid all the bad news in the Church and the world — which, painful as it is, has to be faced and resisted —  there’s also good news sometimes to be found. Steve White found some in a place many might not have suspected: among American priests. For all the problems of the Church in America, we’re doing relatively well in attracting and training priests. Numbers continue to erode slowly, but that’s all the more reason to increase efforts to enliven the Church and defend her teachings. That’s very much in our minds daily at The Catholic Thing, and it’s largely what keeps us going every day. And then, of course, there’s all of you. We’re doing well in our fundraising, but it’s getting near time to make the push to finish the job. You know what to do. Just do it. – Robert Royal
