"One well trained priest is worth more than many trained badly or
scarcely at all. For such would be not merely unreliable but a likely
source of sorrow to the Church. What a terrifying account, Venerable
Brethren, We shall have to give to the Prince of Shepherds, to the
Supreme Bishop of souls, if we have handed over these souls to
incompetent guides and incapable leaders."
