    The future pope began the conversation with a personal anecdote from his years as a seminarian.

    "I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle's wedding," he said, according to Aleteia. "I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance ... and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.

    "I kept thinking and thinking about her. When I returned to the seminary after the wedding, I could not pray for over a week because when I tried to do so, the girl appeared in my head. I had to rethink what I was doing."




    He said he had to choose between the girl and the priesthood, and though he picked the latter, he knows not everyone would.

    "When something like this happens to a seminarian, I help him go in peace to be a good Christian and not a bad priest," Bergoglio said.
