An Irish man who was allegedly dismissed from the national seminary after complaining of homosexual activities will meet with police to discuss a formal complaint.
The man, who has sought to preserve his anonymity, told the Irish Independent that a faculty member at St. Patrick’s seminary in Maynooth made homosexual overtures. He eventually left the seminary and married, but testified that his experience left him “severely shaken” and troubled by depression.
The possibility of policy involvement and formal charges comes at a time when the Irish news media are reporting multiple complaints of homosexual misconduct at the Maynooth seminary.

‘Probe’?
I work with a guy who was going to go into the priesthood.
I ask him way he didn’t he said he found that 90 percent of the men at seminary were queer.
He is happily married with 3 children now.
Coming soon to the Unites States Armed Forces.
It began in earnest in the 1960s, among Vietnam draft dodgers who were homosexual. Going to the seminary worked for them in several ways.
First they were exempted from the draft. Second, they no longer faced family or societal pressure to date and get married. Third, in the job they had lots of slack time and ability to pick up partners out of uniform.
And fourth, it provided great cover for those with pedophile tendencies.
