Comments on: Pope declares a special year for priests http://ubipetrus.4rivals.com/2009/03/pope-declares-a-special-year-for-priests/ The blog of sinner trying desperately to become a saint and a geek trying to become an uber-geek. What a combination.

It's so long and intricate most people haven't even read and many don't even know it exists. Every year in RCIA I get asked about the priesthood and comparing it with the common priesthood of the people. Having something "recent" and targeted would be most helpful. And I'd be the first one to offer any help possible in setting up presentations on the issue.

I agree that this is not only a good idea, but one overdue in light of the "Spirit of Vatican II (we've never actually read the documents, however)" crowd and their complete misunderstanding of the very real differences between the ordained priesthood and the priesthood of the faithful. St. John Marie Vianney, ora pro nobis. I was very pleased to hear this news.
