Read this tonight in a book called "The Queen of the Big Time" by Ariana Trigiani. Never in the 45 years since I was in the seminary, studying to be a priest, have I ever seen my own thoughts put so succinctly:
"When I was in the seminary, I would look around at my classmates and wonder what we all had in common. You would think it was a love of God and a desire to serve him, but it wasn't. It was a detachment. It was if we were comfortable being separate. I had my excuses... I can't speak for my fellow seminarians; they had their own reasons for choosing a life that meant at its very core you could not have intimacy with another person."
