Just a thought.




"It would be far better for that man if he had never been born." - Matthew 26:24

What if Christ had said "never been ordained" instead?

While Blessed Mother Teresa was seeking permission to found the Missionaries of Charity, she encountered resistance and delays by her bishop. He explained to her what a great risk it is to give permission to found a new order, considering the souls involved. What would happen to those who dedicate their lives to the apostolate, having given up home and property? What would happen to them if the endeavor failed?

If that is the case, what about men admitted to seminary and ordination who maybe shouldn't have been?
