Father Belsole expects at least two years to pass before hearing how St. Vincent fared.
"There is no exit interview. The [visitors] are going to present all of their opinions to the [Vatican] Congregation for Education, but we don't hear anything ourselves," he said.
How long before some leftish Catholic starts to call it an Inquisition?
Recently I read an article about a more left-leaning seminary somewhere in the U.S. that went through an inspection along the lines of this (although I don't think it pertained to this partiular process). I can't remember where I read the article, but it may have been New Oxford Review.
Either way, the article said that, according to some seminarians, when the people who ran the seminary knew they were going to be "inspected", all of the heretical books disappeared from the shelves of the seminary to be temorarily replaced by Orthodox books. Instructors changed their ways long enough to give the appearance of teaching Catholic Orthodoxy. After the inspectors left, the Orthodox books vansished, the old heretical books reappeared, and it was back to business as usual.
Assuming that all of this is true, and assuming that this will be done at many seminaries in the U.S., shouldn't a different approach be taken?? These seminaries are making a mockery of The Church. How about "surprise" inspections, without notifying the seminary in advance of the inspector's arrival?? It just seems like it will be too easy to fool the inspectors with tactics like those outlined above, and the liberal infestation will continue.
I am wondering if this entire exercise will be a waste of time.
