I know I watched.
I wish it were as easy as that.
When you're in a diocese where homosexuals are named monsignors and given the prime parishes, and where the seminary staff is openly gay, just how far do you think one orthodox seminarian would get in trying to hit the fire alarm.
One orthodox seminarian can only leave and find another place.
Another of our seminarians was sent for psychological eval to a facility outside Philly recently. He was "too rigid" also. But he's tough and won't let them break him. He's being ordained next week. This new crop of priests are good, faithful, orthodox. The liberals are taking their last dying grasps, but obviously plan to take as many souls with them as possible.
I'm all for this but I think they're going to need a different title if you get my drift;)
Without a doubt.
I wouldn't know. I go to one parish, and "canon law" is followed to the letter.
If you have the time to patrol practices in different parishes, make notes, and turn these guys into to the bishop, knock yourself out.
I was a hall monitor in junior high and the job of snitch just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
Oh, BTW, nobody in Rome is going to listen to you.
Dr. Brown's a weirdo.
If I were a bishop and using a psychiatrist to evaluate seminarians, I'd pick a Jewish female, someone who has no vested interest in eliminating one type of seminarian or another. I'd pay her, and she'd follow the profile I set.
And, she'd have to agree to keep her name out of the papers. Not all publicity is good publicity, as the article above attests.
One of my great consolations is knowing that my roots too are in Cambria County--blessed by the heritage of Father Gallitzen and the faithful Catholics he gathered around him in Loretto and the surrounding area. Many of my ancestors there showed us the way to live as true Catholics and were deeply imbedded in the truth even though many of them could neither read nor write. It still amazes me that Rembert Weakland could have come out of these roots. How he has betrayed us! But we can be grateful for Dr. Michael Novak and Dr. Brian Kopp who still proclaim the truth in the midst of adversity.----Am going to visit the graves of my ancestors at St. Michael's Cemetery in Loretto and the cemetery in Conawego in early August. Hope I live that long.
I go to one parish, and "canon law" is mostly obeyed, with some exceptions regarding Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers.

Please stop misrepresenting what I said. I specified "assistant inquisitors," who would quite obviously not be lay people, which would leave me out of it. I already have a job; thank you. Furthermore, I don't think enforcing the teachings of the Church constitutes "snitching."
The things I'm concerned about are the types of things talked about in this article, where diocesan officials are in direct disobedience to the Magisterium on doctrinal issues. I think that's somewhat important. Apparently, you disagree. So be it.
Because they're treating the seminary like a frat party ... or some Mardi Gras gone wild where girls can be passed around like cave carne canapes?
I guess you can tell it was just a seminary by the way the predator neither shared nor had pix to pass around afterwards.
No to both. But, good luck on finding out who are the "practicing homosexuals" among ordained priests.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything.
And, if you think I'm "slandering the Church", then you're galactically stupid.
I've been engaged in the RCIA and Engaged Couples ministry for seven years. Nobody seems to have a problem with my views.
Maybe you ought to contact BKnotts; he needs some snitches to roam the parishes in search of violators of canon law.
Frankly, I'd be more worried about the people who run through red lights six blocks up the street.
Maybe we could station some "inquisitors" up there to turn in license plate numbers to the Euless cops.
