Prepare to be impressed:
Debt was always a horrific problem in the seminaries in which I taught and was a formation advisor. If there was a debt of any real size, which a diocese would pay off upon ordination, the question was whether the candidate was afraid not to be ordained because of the debt, but would otherwise discern out of the seminary.
Laboure Society is a very welcome service. These guys are professionals and are totally aware of such dynamics, and know how to deal with them, and won’t be taken for a ride. If you have the wherewithal… just sayin’…
We don’t want a situation in which only elite rich people can apply to a seminary or house of formation. Sure, some elite rich people, like Saint Matthew (the tax collector), were called by Jesus. But some were not known to be rich. Should it be different today?
Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 
A similar problem exists for newly ordained priests. Many of us may not have had debt going into seminary, but we do have debt coming out of the seminary. Many of us had to go into debt in order to pay for our seminary education (not every diocese pays all expenses) and then we spend years and years of our priesthood trying to pay it off.
