Seminarian is the normal term. This is not a priest.

There are a lot of Polish priests coming into the US - some of them are great, and some of them just want a green card. We just removed one in my diocese, so you know that the (new) bishops are watching them.

I knew immediately who posted this before even looking at the byline...as did probably 2500 other Freepers.

As did I. Funny how those who lecture Catholics so often on discernment can never seem to practice it in their own lives and postings. In simpler terms; that boy needs a better BS filter.

Hve you tried trolling for Baptist preachers who have gone bad? Anecdotal, but in my small town community, there were at one time 18 congregations with the name Baptist in them, and just while I was in high school, I knew of three sexual scandals involving Baptist preachers.Now gossip of course included ,lawyers, doctors, dentists, accountants , local businessmen. “Peyton Place” was not all that untypical, just better dramatized. My school superintendent —I got this from my mother who got it from an acquaintance of the Superintendent’s family—took his daughter for an abortion in a nearby state. It was illegal in our state and illegal in that the other one, too but that was several hours away. Anyway the girl was left sterile.

News flash: Nice people sin, too.

Let’s not jump to conclusions. Perhaps he was planning to give up the temptations of the flesh upon graduation from the seminary and ordination.

Or, in the words of more than one fallen TV evangelist, he was ministering to the flock.

True. And yet they'll be the first to say "oh... Catholics are being mean when they point out the flaws in a denomination, yet nary a peep for the guy who continuously posts threads like these....

The wire-services are always on the outlook for stories like this. But even when they run storing about the gal teacher sleeping with her students they never tie it with the way that school systems still allows offenders to go on their way without reporting them to the authorities. That’s because the public schools are the Established Church of the national elite.

and some of them just want a green card This is a ridiculous claim. Every each priest belong to some congregation. Catholic church is hierarchical and they are obligated to obedient. They cannot move wherever they want.

They have to get incardinated in a diocese. Many of them belong to religious congregations, but some do not.

In a lot of cases, a priest who is “on the loose” may not be a good idea, and we actually have had some foreign priests in my diocese who were either (a) supporting their wife and children back in the Phillipines, or (b) bringing in their family members from Poland just before they had their nervous breakdown or terminal bout of alcoholism. And this is true of ones who were just free agents and ones who were members of religious orders (which obviously just wanted to get rid of them and dump them on the US).

You can get good foreign priests and you can get bad ones. But the same is true of native born priests.

The whole thing depends on the bishop. Good bishop: good seminary, good local priests, good foreign priests. Bad bishop...well, figure it out.

Sounds like this is the fault of the Reformation and those 23,495* Protestant denominations! < sarc>

*Number obtained the same way FRoman Catholics do, via a random number generator!
