New Report on Priesthood & Ministry

E-Bulletin

An NCR article by Peter Feuerherd (NCR online 2/5/19) draws attention to a Boston College report released in December 2018. The paper, titled “To Serve the People of God: Renewing the Conversation on Priesthood and Ministry,” argues that sacramental doctrine is a starting point in transforming seminary formation.

Further, the report warns against priests placing themselves above laypeople.
