AnswerNot really, a man is supposed to have a vocation, and the six to 12 years that a man will spend in the seminary is technically to "try" his vocation and make sure that it is from God. Only if he spends this time and discerns that it actually is God's Will for him, AND the Bishop thinks so, then, at the ordination ceremony, the Bishop will "call" him to the priesthood.
