It does my heart good to see the use of cassocks at St. Joseph Seminary in Charlotte. I really do believe that such things have a place in our Catholic life – here, specifically, in the life of seminarians. Many in my generation were in a big hurry to throw away all signs of “being set apart”, but I think this attitude did us no real good and perhaps did a great deal of harm than we realized. Anyway, ever onward. Catholic Seminarians and priests of tomorrow. Tough days are ahead for us as the Church but your willingness to serve God and the Church as priests, if that’s His Will, makes me optimistic. God bless you all.
