Jonathan asks:

Hello. For some time I had been considering a vocation to the priesthood, but now that I am in college (freshman year at a catholic university) I have heard some strange things that are changing my mind. Our campus ministry priests seem very certain that the priesthood will change soon after we get a new pope. Supposedly there will be married priests and women priests.... Anyway, it all sounded suspicious to me until I talked over Christmas with a parish priest at home and he said that there will "indeed be changes" to counter the priest shortage, and that we must act in the spirit of Vatican II. I am very confused, not just because of this but because of a lot of the stuff that goes on in school. The Masses in the chapel don't even seem like Mass, like when they teach us to say the Our Father AND MOTHER. Is the church really changing like this? It doesn't seem right. Anyway, what is the point of me going into the seminary now if this all really going to happen? Are these rumors true? Please offer any advice you can.
