My Archdiocesan vocations director responded to my email! i'm on my way to discerning the priesthood formally!
I am happy for you. I hope you get it.
as a novus ordo priest?? Isint there enough of them around?
Any sense of tradition he has will be breeded out of him.
He will be a liberal sponge just like the rest of the novus ordo.
No, the only way for him to nurture his Catholicism was to join the SSPX SSPV or CMRI, especially at such an impressionable young age. The novus ordo will brainwash him with the "spirit of Vatican 2".
If he really values tradition and ever becomes a priest (not ordained properly) then he will be heading for a split with the conciliars, either that or he compromises his principles, which if he had done so for the 8 years of priest training, he will find easy and will just go with the flow.
No benefit to the true church and no loss to humanity what he does.
