A man applying to be a priest now must undergo a battery of tests, among them a two-day psyche test. Parents, priests who knew them, friends are also interviewed. Then the applicant goes through additional interviews.
You can thank Pope Benedict XVI that this was put in place after he sent emissaries to inspect all seminaries.

And, of course, we all know that teachers top the list.
What are the homosexual abuse cases by denomination, do you know?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Not even close. Parents and other relatives top the list, Please stop spreading this false rumor about teachers.
