It's pretty well documented that seminaries, by and large, in these latter times have not wanted orthodox, ordinary male candidates,'' he said, ''but have rather looked to those who are more pliable or more upbeat with all the modern ideas, and therefore many of those who would have become faithful priests have not gone into seminaries.''

This is where the "vocations crisis" is coming from. God is calling faithful men to preach the truth, but they are being culled out by Sister Apostasia Feminazi and her ilk at the diocesan or seminary level because they are "rigid" or "homophobic" or "misogynist" or "triumphalist" or any of a dozen other liberal naughties. The real agenda is "we want no priests except misfits, so we can argue that female "ordination" and an end to celibacy is the only answer to the priestless church we've created."

There are a couple of bishops in NY state who seem honestly proud that they are producing no new priests at all.

Probably 20% of our bishops should be deposed and replaced. Certain seminaries -- I'm going to point at Mundelein in particular -- should be closed until they can be re-staffed with people -- men, primarily -- 100% faithful to the Church. And the various apostate "Catholic colleges" which are not Catholic at all -- DePaul and Georgetown and BC, this means you, and ND, you aren't going to escape either -- need to be forced to purge the heretics from their theology departments or officially disassociate themselves from the Church. As it is, they're guilty of false advertising.

I am afraid, your theory is correct.

I heard, ever since Cardinal Francis George took over, Mundelein is being gradually purged of the filth. It's a huge task for him and the enemy is still strong and kicking.

Exactly. Many of the US seminaries, with the apparent blessing of American bishops, have become something akin to Club Meds for promiscuously practicing homosexuals. Celibate heterosexually-oriented men and even chaste homosexuals who take seriously their priestly vows need not apply. Nor is anyone welcome who has the slightest allegiance to fundamental tenets of the RC faith or who respects the central idea papal authority.This really isn't a scandal of sexuality so much(there are good, faithful, gay-oriented priests in the church who can & do keep their pants on with their teenaged parishoners) as it is a crisis of dishonesty among fraudulent "priests". Over the last three decades, the US RC church has been ordaining wave after massive wave of gay men who have not, and never did have, any intention honoring their vows to live chaste lives as priests. And like most dishonest people, their lack of honor carries over into most other aspects of their ministry beyond their sexual activity. As rank of file catholics across the US can attest, many of these Club Med priests are about as "Roman Catholic" in their theological beliefs as Jimmy Swaggart is.(Actually, a lot less so.) Transubstantiation? Just a silly anachronism from a repressed patriarchy. This invasion of non-catholic 'catholic' priests could only have happened with the full complicity of The US Council of Catholic Bishops. I say throw the lot of these bogus priests and the Bishops who've served as their protectors (and procurers!) in jail & give us our church back.We're sick of seeing our collection plates being used to financially underwrite the decadent lifestyles of practicing pederasts (nearly all of whom are ephebophiles as opposed to pedophiles, it must be emhasized) who also happen to be practicing protestants.
