Our seminarians study at Mt. St. Mary's, St. Charles Borromeo, or the Pontifical North American College. IOW, they aren't entering a seminary 'under' Loverde.
Christendom College's Chapel still has its Communion Rail. Until recently, the students, faculty, and townies used it in the traditional manner. Loverde ordered an end to the practice. I'm given to understand that many of the students still kneel to receive Communion. Most priests here are quite orthodox, but Loverde is no friend of orthodoxy and numbers of seminarians have dropped since he arrived.

If they are being prepared for Loverde's diocese, they are under Loverde.
As to kneeling for communion, contact the St. Joseph Foundation which exists to litigate these questions in Church courts. All expenses are paid by contributors and not by litigants. The Wanderer published the Vatican decree that communicants have a RIGHT to kneel about a year ago. I believe that there is even a decree requiring altar rails in all church renovations, issued sometime last year by the Vatican.

I have found that foreign priests are much more liturgically and reverencially based. I really don't think there is anything wrong with that at all.
In our small hamlet in Oregon, we have three priests who speak Spanish, only one is native Hispanic and one priest who is a native Vietnamese and speaks Viernamese. We just don't find it unusal at all.
Didn't God make us all in His image?
