The religious education received by Catholic priests DWARFS anything received by the average of protestant pastors.

Catholic priests must have a four-year university degree in Catholic philosophy plus an additional four to five years of graduate-level seminary formation in theology with a focus on Biblical research. A Master of Divinity is the most common degree. Many have PHDs.

Too bad that teaching doesn't include a basic knowledge of Scripture.

Indoctrinating them in Catholicism doesn't accomplish much except making them loyal purveyors of Catholicism.
