The Diocese of Portsmouth, England, will have 14 seminarians at the start of the new academic year, the highest number of seminarians in living memory, writes the Catholic Herald. Not surprisingly, Portsmouth Bishop Philip Egan is not part of the secular-liberal wing of bishops close to Pope Francis. In April he stated that Amoris Laetitia does not allow divorcees to receive Communion.
"The highest number of seminarians in living memory"!? Anyone interested in the Church flourishing would want to know why this very good news has come.
