Abstract

According to "Council Jottings" in America, an eminent catholic layman, when asked in what area he would be most concerned to see the Council take action, answered, after a moment of reflection: "The Seminary."1 He was convinced that every effort to bridge the gap between church and world, cleric and layman, would come to nothing without serious reform of seminaries. Their principal defect, he feels, is isolation from the real world. After years of separate existence, the cleric is returned to a world that has become strange and foreign to him, a world that finds his clerical language curious and incomprehensible.
