Personally, I had a very mixed reaction to the well-done article in Time about the Catholic priesthood.  In spite of the rather admirable qualities noted in the seminarians and priests showcased in the article, it also made rather clear that the same brand of clericalism exists in all levels of ministry of the Church, especially our seminarian.  It did note a modest increase in the number of seminarians and newly ordained clerics yet never contrasted it with the growing number of retired, ill and deceased priests in every diocese in the world.  And as Perriello notes in her essay here, there is a growing awareness among some of them of ministry based on commitment to serve the poor, live simply, and embrace the entire community in which they serve.  At the same time, the seminarians were overwhelmingly white, from only a very few seminaries (perhaps only two if I remember it correctly), and was never intended to be a revealing study of priesthood.  It was a snapshot of a very few.
