He had to complete four years of Catholic theology — so I don’t think it went quite so fast there!
He also began a course of study at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park [2005], and with the guidance of Weigand and, in turn, Soto, he began the long application process for pastoral provision.Okay, he started schooling in 2005, but his application wasn't accepted until two weeks ago? I'm not hip to the process of becoming a priest I don't think. I thought once you entered a seminary, provided you finished still wanting to become a priest, you were guaranteed a position somewhere in your diocese. But Harry still had to apply? Why would he go through all that schooling if he wasn't being assured a position?
