It’s out on DVD and CNS reports on what’s happened since the series ended – including the news that the one young man who thought he’d be going to seminary…isn’t.

Of the four men featured this spring on A&E’s reality show "God or the Girl," three of them decided against entering the seminary to pursue a priestly vocation.

The fourth, Steve Horvath of Virginia, who has been on a student missionary assignment in Lincoln, Neb., said he would apply to a seminary. Then he got stuck on the application.

"The last parts that I ended up not completing were … ‘What do you think a Catholic priest should be’ and ‘What is calling me to the Catholic priesthood?’" Horvath told Catholic News Service in a July 27 telephone interview from Fairfax, Va.. "I needed some more subjective and personal reasons (than what he had been writing). In taking that to prayer, I really didn’t feel that calling."

Horvath instead will spend a third year as a lay missionary at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln for the Fellowship of Catholic University Students.

As the CNS story reports, the God or the Girl website has resources for youth ministers and others who might want to use the show in their programs.
