I don't think you people are familiar with how Pope Benedict XVI cleaned out the seminaries. It started with Pope John Paul II. In my opinion, it is disgraceful to post these statements without verification.

A seminarian must now take a two day psyche exam, have multiple references, undergo days and days of interviews before he is approved for the seminary. Here are the FR links:

It`s a bunch of propaganda- A lot of the seminarian deans and teachers are homosexuals- They never cleaned out those guys- I know coz i was there in Baltimore and Albany seminaries=

been there, saw them, watched them, avoided them at all costs-

even in the minor seminaries those homosexual priests teachers are still there-

Quis custodiet custodes?

In the seminary those admission rules/test do not apply to the homosexual priests already there .

YUP Please do not make any remarks about this unless you have been in on the inside of a seminary for 4 years, my friend,. otherwise it is all hogwash

Do you not know that some homosexual priests teachers are administering "two day psyche exam, have multiple references, undergo days and days of interviews:"

Are you actually in favor of letting the foxes guard the henhouse with all the little chicks?

Gimme a break!!!

Please quote the article wherein it states the number of priest-teachers at US seminaries have been fired for being homosexual-

C`mon show me the facts, Jack.

FACT _ THERE HASN`T BEEN ONE PRIEST_TEACHER AT ANY US SEMINARY REMOVED/FIRED FOR BEING HOMOSEXUAL.

prove me wrong, please- I`M FROM MISSOURI- show me.

The Church doesn`t have the guts to grandfather the new rules into the seminaries.

They always protect their own, and they always will. PERIOD.
