It's about time. Consider what we are going through in our diocese this weekend, concerning church closings and consolidations, I would say it's long overdue. Hopefully it will make people aware of how much we need to pray for our current priests and for vocations.

Yes. If it does nothing more than encourage the faithful to pray for vocations, it will have been worth it. (And I'm sure it will accomplish much more.)

Oh sure...it's all about you :)

Seriously though, I think it's a great time for the laity to understand/rediscover the beauty of the priesthood. As I tell my boys, no priest - no Eucharist.
