He also spoke of the importance of training seminarians and candidates for the priesthood. He proposes that selection criteria not just the negatives, for exclude problem peoplebut also "positive to offer the appropriate candidates a path of balanced formation, oriented towards holiness and in which the virtue of chastity is envisaged".

In addition to self-criticism of the institution itself, the Pope focused on the dangers of the digital world. "The protection of minors must take into account new forms of badual abuse and abuse of all kinds that threaten them in their living environment and through the new instruments that they use", he said, especially regarding sites that distribute badgraphy
