What VaticanNews.va doesn't say: The diocese that, compared to its size (700’000 Catholics), has the biggest number of seminarians (45) and ordinations (7) is Alcalá de Henares.
The reason: Alcalá Bishop Juan Antonio Reig Pla, Bishop, 71, is the most Catholic among the Spanish bishops and no friend of Pope Francis.
