It is so aggravating to hear continual negative comments about "most young priests."
The priests ordained in the last 10 years (14) in my diocese are, almost to a man, filled with a will to serve their people and they do so with fervor.
They are the ones who propose new ideas, consistent with Church teaching, regarding evangelization. They are the ones who often lead in this work.
They are the ones who actively seek to do pastoral work among our people and are especially involved with youth and young adults. They seek ways to reach those who have wandered from the Church.
Many are willing to visit the hospitals and the homebound, not only to offer the Sacraments but stay for a while, visit and offer the presence of Christ the Priest.
Personally, I don't care if they wear cassocks, albs with lace and birettas. I don't care if they wear Oxford shirts, khakis and Sketchers.
I care that they are men who love Our Lord, the children of the Church and their share in Christ's priesthood. That's what matters.
This is my experience of our young priests as well. They inspire me! And they are versatile with their Catholic worldview (as in, not locked in, but well equipped to engage various worldviews while solid in orthodox Catholic identity) passionate for Christ, and willing to.
