lolol. Apparently they're "screening" for exactly what they get.

Look... I'm a seminarian. This is my world. You can laugh all you want, but I know that you don't know what you're talking about - because you never went through the screenings and you don't see what goes on in the day to day in the seminary. Perhaps if you did, you would believe it when I say that the screenings have been taking place, and the seminaries (at least the ones for the US) that haven't been reformed are in the process of being reformed.

Your suspicion may be sneaking, but it's also incorrect.

The authoritative text for a Church document, especially one in Canon Law from 1962, is nearly always Latin. Full Stop. That was the main reason for my suspicion. I still have my doubts that this is the authoritative text (even if it is a translation of the real text).

Ratzginer's letter in 2001 which was sent to every bishop in the world reminded the clergy that Crimen Sollicitationis was still in effect. Do some homework. This has all been posted for months, if not years, on Free Republic.

I don't have time to search all over the internet for something. If you want to show me something, link it.

As for the contents... I think Lorica covered it just fine.

I didn't know that. Thanks be to God! May He bless you abundantly and fill you with His Spirit!

Amen.

I've never been a postman, either, but I know when my mail is delivered on time

The "screenings" obviously aren't very rigorous or there wouldn't be this world-wide, decades-old (centuries) pedophilia scandal within the Roman Catholic church.

If you're a seminarian, then "good luck." You'll need it.
