Another brewing issue that could be involved is whether seminaries should enroll priestly candidates who are homosexual but willing to abide by the celibacy rule.

I believe canon law forbids ordination of known homosexuals to prevent the kind of problems the Church has suffered in th elast thirty years.

Let's hope it has some good effect.

The New Man in Rome seems to know spot on what's happening over in the Church in America.

He had any number of visiting people from the US address it and bring evidence to Rome, when he was the leadership (doctrine) post previous before he became Pope. He has no illusions about the "filth" (his own words) that has infected the Church in some areas of the world, and is going to root it out it seems.

Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, the U.S. coordinator for the review, said 117 bishops and seminary staff will visit more than 220 campuses, working in teams of three for smaller programs or four for the larger ones

The teams were appointed by the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education, which oversees seminaries, and in consultation with the U.S. bishops' committee on priestly training and heads of male religious orders.

Are the teams comprised of American bishops? How will that 'collegiality' translate into a wink and nod of approval for certain liberal bishops whose seminaries are not up to snuff?
