Just an anecdote. Take it as you will. About 30 years ago an acquaintance decided he would go into the priesthood. So he left collage and went to whatever school it is that wannabe priests go to. Anyway, saw him a few mo’s later. He had decided that the priesthood wasn't for him.

Why not? He said that “all” of the other candidates were “fairies”.

I can give you a long list of seminary links that prove that the emissaries sent by Pope Benedict XVI did indeed happen and the seminaries were cleaned out.

Now future seminariarians have to undergo a two day psychological exam, multiple interview (4 or 5), having parents, priest mentors interviewed, etc., etc. even before he is accepted into the seminary!

So not to worry, OK. Tell you acquaintance that he can go back to that seminary now and find a completely different culture!

My sister has a friend who told her the EXACT same thing.

And he IS gay.
