"if this leads to better screening of seminary candidates and more oversight by the Bishops of the Dioceses it will be a good thing."

The problem is that it is not just the CANDIDATES who are corrupt, it is the administrations of many of the major seminaries in the US. The schools need to be shut down, all their staff fired, the homosexual candidates weeded out, and new, CONSECRATED seminaries set up in their place. This perversion of the seminaries has been ongoing for many years, since the "modernizing" and "liberalizing" bishops and cardinals put their agenda into practice.

It's interesting to note, as an aside, that it appears that the seminaries in the most conservative, orthodox dioceses are overflowing with candidates, while the seminaries in dioceses with bishops like Rembert Weakland can only manage one or two ordinations a year. I pray to Almighty God that this trend continues!

"...that this trend continues."

It will. No one is flocking and breaking down doors to join the liberal church.

Party Time!

Rembert Weakland's retirement date is April 2, 2002, a mere 12 days away!

The Holy Father is already waiting by the fax machine for his resignation.

This will at least stop Weakland from reassigning gay priests who have actually been prosecuted for lewd acts in public.
