Are you aware that the screening has completely changed after Pope Benedict XVI sent emissaries to investigate the seminaries?

Any man applying for the priesthood must undergo a two day psychological exam. His parents are interviewed. His priest is interviewed. Friends are interviewed. And it goes on from there.

Then he is put on a probationary period while he attends the first part of his schooling.

So we can all say, “Thank you, Pope Benedict!”

Time will tell whether this was actually enforced. So far it seems to me that we still have way too many gay/gay friendly priests.

Indeed!

Just like Peter was!
