Thanks for the ping. Have you seen this more informative article?

I suspect the meeting was an attempt at damage control. FFI seminarians are apparently jumping ship, and some members are reportedly requesting release from their pontifical vows.

So, it isn't "just pastoral" in nature. Interesting, indeed.
