text: I agree ordination candidates should be well-educated, theologically trained (using documents later than 1200 maybe), trained as counselors, trained as business and personnel managers (most will end up as pastors or administrators), but why the double heck do so many need to get that all-powerful "Canon Lawyer" degree (whatever it's called)  and why do so many hang around Rome wallowing in extensive education they will NEVER need pastorally? 
  
  Don't we need loving, caring, compassionate, merciful, wise, true followers of Jesus instead?  
  
  One more example of clericalism gone amok.
