Part One of this session was presented in Fort Worth in 2023 with the hoped-for expectation of a follow-up conversation at the 2024 Atla Annual. The 6th edition of The Program for Priestly Formation is the governing document for Catholic seminary formation. This edition, based on the Ratio Fundamentalis from 2016, is a major shift in how seminary formation is being conceived. This session will provide a brief exposition of the context of Catholic seminary formation, explore two of the foundational documents governing seminaries, and provide ample time for conversation about how the PPF6 is being applied in local contexts.
