It's a shame that they aren't reviewing this St Thomas Aquinas Seminary first and using it to set the standards for the others. =D

Fascinating. And just WHY should a schismatic SSPX seminary be a model for others? One cannot very well enroll in or serve on the faculty of or in the administration of the SSPX schism without adhering to the schism. Therefore, you propose a seminary in which all are excommunicated schismatics as a model for other seminaries.

Does this schismatic seminary of the excommunicated hand out doctorates in disobedience? Appoint revolutionaries as rectors? Use the services of excommunicated bishops to ordain other eccentric ecclesiastical oddballs who wouldn't be able to find the actual Roman Catholic Church with the actual Pope St. Pius X as their guide? He should only be with us today to nuke the group that dares misappropriate his name.

Why should the Vatican be any more concerned with SSPX seminaries than with Unitarian seminaries (if any) or Episcopalian seminaries or Islamic seminaries (if any)? None of these are Catholic and none intend to be Catholic on the evidence to date, regardless of their respective ancestries.

They're not investigating Episcopal or Lutheran seminaries, either.

Only Catholic seminaries.
