The Bride of Christ appears on The Bachelor

Spero News:

God or the Girl captures the tension, terror, and triumph of Joe, Mike, Steve, and Dan, four 20-something men at the most important crossroads of their lives, as, over the course of this series, they decide whether or not to enroll in the seminary and become Roman Catholic priests, or to find the love of a woman and settle down with a family. This is the ultimate struggle between the choice of two goods.

Coming on A & E April 16...a detailed preview is here.

Who is in charge of the spiritual life of these men? Who thought it would be a good idea to let a whole country muck around in the most serious decision they can possibly make? I suppose that if alleged clergy of the allegedly-secret religion of Wicca can make utter fools of themselves on Wife Swap, the Catholic Church (which historically owes so much to paganism) might as well follow.

If somebody proves to me that vocations increased as a result of this show, I will publicly on this blog Eat Crow. But I can't believe that this is a good idea.

Tip o'hat to WorldNetDaily.

Can you expand on you thoughts further. What harms can it cause even if the number of potential priests does not increase?
