True, Marty, apparently they did not meet "our" standards, which were really not ours but those found in whatever document on priestly formation was then in effect. But, as you may or may not know, each case is judged on its own merits, with substantial discussion and dialogue with a student, a vocation director and the particular diocese. As to the particular discussion topic you raise above, I agree, it certainly would be interesting, even fascinating, given that the life of faith, the area about which I mentioned that some folks experience stunted growth, is one that grows organically, raises questions, doubts and disappointments. We all grow and develop as believers. Not even Jesus was exempt from that.
