Huh. Our church is staffed by Dominican priests whose numbers of new entrants are steady even in the US, and everyone who has come through has been a well-spoken, intelligent and approachable person. I guess we’re lucky!

I would rather see a documentary on this subject.  
I dvr’d 2 episodes and fast forwarded to erase real quick.  
It was to me a spinoff of the “reality” shows real housewives of xyz…  
If I’m going to insult my intelligence with these types of shows I’d rather it not inlclude Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I’m good with nene, Brandi, and Vickie.
