I'm not the one who made an outlandish charge based on a Free Republic representative survey of one person! LOL!

Since you're expressed that this is a strong interest of yours, I suggest you go to CARA and look up their research. http://cara.georgetown.edu/ (Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate)

Maybe you'd like to compare and contrast it with the seminary training provided by your denomination, which you still haven't identified, making it impossible to attempt any process of compare-and-contrast.

I stated from the beginning that if "what we see on FR" is representative of the training of catholic priests is normal, it is inadequate. I've only ever seen on FReeper say he is a priest.

I stated I examined the curriculum of three Catholic seminaries and observed how little training in Scripture is required.

You stated all the priests you've ever met had much more extensive training.

I asked for anything objective to back that up.

So, your answer is that you don't know of any, but I can go search and maybe find some?? Well, if you had anything definite, I would compare.

This is starting to sound like our discussion of teachings during the Apostolic age. You didn't have anything to back up your claim.

Are these the Jesuits?

This doesn't look like a seminary. I don't find a list of classes. It look more like a social policy research group.

CARA is a non-profit research organization that conducts social scientific studies for the Catholic Church. It is listed in The Official Catholic Directory and is affiliated with Georgetown University. CARA’s goal is to deliver high-quality applied research or consulting services on Church issues. Members of CARA’s research team have graduate degrees in their academic specialties and are Georgetown university faculty members. Their objective is to deliver practical answers to real pastoral questions and provide Church policymakers with the factual basis for informed decisions. CARA conducts major studies of Church-wide significance, but much of its work is custom designed for individual clients. A brief overview of the history of CARA is provided below.

Is this the same priest who has had a significant number of posts pulled?? I recall one very specifically but we cannot publish. I will send the topic via freepmail to you.

I checked Notre Dame's Seminary's Master of Divinity Requirements for Fall 2017.

I did not see one class for either Greek or Hebrew. I did see a class on Christology and...wait for it....MARIOLOGY!

There were a number of classes in Ecclesiastical Spanish.

Looking at St Mary's Master of Divinity program:

This appears to be a bit better than Notre Dame's.

22.5 hours are spent in Sacred Scripture.

And yes...there's a course on Marian Theology.

However, no requirement involving Greek or Hebrew.

If you're going for the Licentiate in Sacred Theology there is a requirement for Greek and/or Hebrew. There seems to be a more urgent requirement for fluency in Latin...understandable considering the Roman Catholic reliance upon Latin.

The seminaries I'm familiar with require at minimum two Greek and two Hebrew.

1 John 2:27

As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.
But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him.


NIV 2 Corinthians 1:13-14
13. For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,
14. as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
