<br/><br/> "Even as the American Catholic Church grapples with a scandal that has turned clerical collars into marks of suspicion, a quieter transition has taken place: Just who's joining the priesthood has changed dramatically since the priests snared by today's scandal were first ordained....Nationwide, most new seminary graduates are over 30, and a quarter are over 50."
