The homosexual part of that statement is probably incorrect. Pope Benedict sent emissaries to the U. S. to inspect all seminaries.

Seminarians now must undergo a two day psychology test, multiple interviews, have multiple recoomendations from several priests, the parents are interviewed, etc. etc.

And some are not even accepted.

Good article, but the writer keeps referring to “gay marriage”. I agree with Cardinal Burke, who refuses to use the term “gay marriage”. He says word marriage means the union of one man and one woman and it is called “marriage”. He also refuses to use the term “Traditional marriage”. He said using that term is an acceptance that there are other forms of marriage, which there is not.

My Roman Catholic Deacon friend and former mentor at work was a seminarian in the 1960s and knew of homosexual seminarians and that they were NOT being kicked out based upon the more ‘modern’ view of things. I don’t know if this had any role in his decision to leave the seminary 6 months before being ordained, but may have.
