France: Bishops Plan to Close Down 17 Seminaries
During their November meeting in Lourdes they decided that a seminary with less than 17 to 20 seminarians or deacons is too expensive to run. Only 15 of the 32 French seminaries meet this benchmark today.
A problem consists in the fact that many French seminaries are Modernist and therefore fail to attract vocations.
