If the seminaries weren't so hungry for candidates, they would be able to weed out the incompetent and homosexual seminarians before they receive their Holy Orders and send them packing.You forget that the worst of these pedophiles were ordained long before the seminaries were hungry. Geoghan et all were pre-V2 priests, and he and his predecessors were sheltered by pre-V2 Bishops. I know it is easy to think of all this as a post V2 mess, but prior to V2 the media never hyped it up. The predators were still there then, and the Bishops still made the same mistakes back then.

Yes, that's true, but I don't think they can be labeled the "worst" of these pedophiles - there is no comparative bad, worse, worst when we're speaking of child abusers and until the present house-cleaning is accomplished, we probably will hear similar stories about younger priests. It is a terrible crisis and very difficult to deal with especially for Catholic parents with young children and teen-agers. The Church will survive this, of course, it has survived great crises in the past, but it will be with us for a very long time.
