| Summary: | Although a seminarian's superiors realized that his intellectual qualities were limited, they did consider that he had done sufficiently well in his theological studies to be ordained to the presbyterate. His bishop was cognizant of the seminarian's intellectual weakness and ordained him as a deacon and assigned him to a parish to exercise pastoral ministry. The question concerning his intellectual talents and whether he should be ordained as a presbyter has been raised again. May his bishop now refuse his access to presbyteral ordination? |
