Autism and Holy Orders: How to help seminarians with autism become effective priestsI have been waiting for decades for such a book to appear. I have taught men in pre ordination formation at several seminaries and universities, in the United States and in Rome, and I have seen far too many men suffer needlessly because of misunderstanding of their condition Autism and Holy Orders will be useful for faculty and formators, bishops and abbots. But my hope is that it will gain a much wider audience. It should be read by parents of boys

 

“I have been waiting for decades for such a book to appear. I have taught men in pre-ordination formation at several seminaries and universities, in the United States and in Rome, and I have seen far too many men suffer needlessly because of misunderstanding of their condition … Autism and Holy Orders will be useful for faculty and formators, bishops and abbots. But my hope is that it will gain a much wider audience. It should be read by parents of boys and men with autism who are considering the seminary. It will be useful to the candidates themselves, for their own self-understanding and for their experience of community life. It can be tremendously helpful for parishioners who wish to understand the priests with autism who serve them.”

— Scott Hahn, from the foreword

“Thirty years ago, St. John Paul II outlined four “pillars” that are essential in a seminarian’s preparation for the ministry and life of a priest: human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation. He intentionally began with human formation for the following reason: “The whole work of priestly formation would be deprived of its necessary foundation if it lacked a suitable human formation” (Apostolic Exhortation, Pastores Dabo Vobis, 43). Deacon Sutton applies this key concern of JP II as it pertains to assisting seminarians with autism, a developmental disorder that may be overlooked or misunderstood. I have consulted with Deacon Sutton on human formation issues for more than 10 years, and I have seen his insights applied in concrete situations. Vocation directors, seminary formators, and bishops will appreciate his professional and practical insights. I highly recommend Autism and Holy Orders.”

—Most Rev. Mark L. Bartchak, Bishop of Altoona-Johnstown

“Dr. Sutton has done a tremendous service to all who minister in religious formation and to the Church at large. Every vocation is a gift from God and, now more than ever, dare not be squandered. This book masterfully identifies autism not as an insurmountable barrier to a genuine vocation, but as a condition that can in most cases be easily managed for the benefit of the person, his religious community, and the Church.”

— Archabbot Martin Bartel, St. Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, Pennsylvania

Fun toy
Pattern Name: Checkered
This was a very fun toy but didn't last too long with our 1-year-old lab who is an aggressive chewer.

Comfortable and convenient
They are awesome socks. Perfect for slides or flip flops. I used them traveling by plane. When you have to take your shoes off in security you can wear slip on shoes while still protecting your bare feet from the floors.

One pair too small
The two solid color pairs were good quality and fit well but the cute patterned ones didn’t have any stretch and were way too small to get on my feet. I was pretty bummed because they were the main reason I purchased this 3 pack.

Comfortable
I like these partial socks and how they keep my feet warm while I wear flip flops around the house I also use a pair to moisturize my heals at night
