**said this month that the visits to the nation's seminaries and houses of formation for priests were finished July 14 and the reports were sent to the Vatican.**
My question is this:
If this was all finished in July, why are we just hearing about it in September. Something smells fishy.
Either the person who composed this paragraph needs to be sent back to 8th grade for comprehensive remediation, or he is a supporter of homosexual activity.
This post comes at a good time. I am currently reading a book called "Goodbye, Good Men" by Michael S. Rose, a Conservative Catholic writer. I have only just finished chapter 4, but it is enough to make one's hair stand on end. If what he writes is true, and it certainly has the ring of truth about it, then the homo's are DEEPLY entranched into the U.S. seminary system, as well as the rest of the Church clerical structure, even today. It will take a LONG time to root them out, unless those at the top are willing to start doing wholesale defrockings, and shut down entire seminaries (a few have already been shut down, but that seems like it is only a "good start"). I don't see any signs of this happening at this point.
The picture Rose paints is bleak. Homo's running several seminaries, with hetero's and Conservative Orthodox Catholics being screened out by their "gatekeepers" in the Admissions departments. No wonder we have the problems we have had within the church. According to this book, the homo's are still being ordained, and are well into the power structure of the American Church (who knows how deeply entrencehed they are at the Vatican??). In many seminaries, nuns who want to become priests are in charge of vocations and who gets admitted. They seem to work hand-in-had with the homo's and other liberals.
If his book is accurate, and I am afraid it is, the Church has a long difficult road ahead of it to get rid of these demons, and the fight will last long beyond Benedict's Papacy. I strongly recommend Rose's book to anyone interested in this topic.
God help us all!
