Yikes!! Piety in seminarians!!! What a disaster!!!!
It's time for a counter-revolution to throw out all these jokers like the professor.
Since the concept of genuine piety and devotion is foreign to this professor, all piety must be superficial piety. Sheesh.
Amazing, I wonder if he can pick lotto numbers too
Too bad, kind of like the Church keeping it's light under a bushel basket or something...
The JPII legacy grows!
And this is a problem how?

The more one reads from the article, the more it becomes apparent that the reporter REALLY tried hard to get one of them to wander away from doctrine.
Must have really had the reporter PO'd when he couldn't...
I personally know 13 seminarians - two of which were sent to Rome under this very same program - and let me tell you, the Church in the next 20 years will be in very capable hands. The true affect Pope John Paul II had on the Church has yet to even be realized yet...
As opposed to the professor's piety? Lead by example, my good man!
Right on, deacon!
Can we now begin to question reporters' obsession with making anal sex 'safe'? What's up with that? Is that all you think about? It's never gonna happen, reporter dude!
What person in their right mind imagines that HIV victims were obedient on condoms but not disordered sexual relations? Completely insane!
"I heard with my own ears someone say the pope was a thief because he didn't fight AIDS," Dobos said. "But if everyone lived the way a Catholic should live, there would be no AIDS."
A Roman Catholic seminary is the only institution in the world that can take in a man and turn out a boy.
Pastoral experience will change these young priests. They will also be serving under pastors who are tempered by life, and human encounters.
Sounds wonderful to me!

This is good news, my friends.
I pray the next Pope will continue his legacy. This is one of the things about the Church people tend to forget. The 2,000 year old Church reacts slowly because it thinks in terms of generations. A corporate CEO would have responded in Trump-like manner ("You're fired!") to the recent scandals. The Church, it appears, has decided to let the liberal priests and bishops die-off and have more conservative priests in training to replace them. Not the immediate response people want, but a long-term solution nonetheless.
This is so true! I keep hearing that the world has changed, but it has not changed for the better. When you used to get married, it was assumed it would be for life. Yes, there was divorce but it was so looked down on that it was rare. You considered yourself a failure if you got a divorce. It made people a little more careful when choosing a mate. It made you really try to work things out before you headed to the lawyer's office.
Birthcontrol pills led to promiscuity, the kind that is common now and accepted. There needs to be something in the middle.
