In the wake of last fall’s disclosure that some biological females had been admitted to seminaries, Catholic formators, canonists and doctors discuss precautionary steps seminaries need to take.
With a rise in social acceptance of “gender-reassignment” procedures, some U.S. seminaries have already been forced to deal with applicants who identify as men but are biologically women — and bishops and seminary formators have been warned to prepare for a potential increase in the number of such cases.
News of the need for additional screening broke late September after Archbishop Jerome Listecki of Milwaukee alerted U.S. bishops of instances in which “a woman living under a transgendered identity” had been admitted for seminary formation, according to a memorandum published by a Sept. 29 CNA report.
Archbishop Listecki urged other U.S. bishops to take steps to ensure that applicants are biologically male — a requirement for valid ordination — after an undisclosed number of individuals who were admitted to seminary or houses of formation have been discovered to have been born female and living under a male identity, unbeknownst to their formators. At least one case involved a woman who had falsified her sacramental records, the memorandum advised.
This fall, Catholic News Agency and the Register investigated the cases of two individuals who were identified in public records as females until after they graduated from high school who subsequently “transitioned” to male identities and later gained admission to U.S. Catholic seminaries. Neither of these persons is still present in the seminaries into which they were admitted.

one word, two letters... NO!
I think the problem has to do with how far along do the seminarians get before caught? The Baptismal Certificate should be the dead giveaway.
then it is a certainty one can't play by God's rules as are plainly written and required in His Holy Word. There is a final ending to one's life on earth. Choices do matter. Heaven or Hell. Perhaps no one spelled it out to these individuals. Those enabling this sinful behavior are accomplices.
Not only ordinary queers like they’ve had all along, but now undecideds?
GRAPPLE?????? REALLY??? TURN THEM AWAY....NOW!!

Dreher has an article on AmConservative, warning pastor not to be naively taken in by trans activists whose aim is to destroy the church.
Link is to Anglican site Virtue on line.
Apparently there have been many reports of people joining conservative churches... and then several months later demanding to be accepted. This is not once or twice but numerous times. The aim is lawsuit threats: Even if they lose, the churches may face expensive court battles. And if the church doesn't cave into their demands or they may be threatened for being transphobic, and in the future this may lead to losing their bank accounts etc.
At the heart of “transgenderism” is a rejection of God and God’s Divine Creation.
