"This is a valuable study, following up on Dean Hoge's groundbreaking study on priests ordained 1 to 5 years. This is a critical study of a critical time in a priest's life and, as always, Dean Hoge makes a critical contribution to our understanding, offering a solid basis beyond anecdotal impressions, for t he formation of helpful policies and programs to assist these servants of God."
