Church Turns To Facebook To Find Priests

crimeandpunishment writes "The Catholic church of France isn't looking for friends on Facebook, it's looking for priests. The church has turned to Facebook as part of a campaign to attract young people to the priesthood, in an effort to combat its drastically dwindling number of priests. It may be working. The Facebook page attracted more than 1,200 fans in one week."

    Give me a break, those are all piss-poor examples. ...Would you go to a relationship counsellor who was never in a relationship?

    Male ob/gyn's never experience the condition they monitor and offer advice on, don't they? And this is a poor example, then again... why?

    the job of divorce lawyers is to offer legal services, something they are indeed very experienced in.

    which is exactly my point: priests are experienced in offering pastoral counseling/services, which is something they are indeed very experienced in. Thanks for proving my point.
