While one who esteems and cherishes extrinsic tradition might seem seek to reform it, such a person would never speak so irreverently about it as did you.

Minor seminaries can't be "reformed." That's why they've been closed.

The entire philosophy behind them is flawed.

Perhaps it is true that minor seminaries are no longer beneficial or useful, I don't know. It is not your position on this issue per say that I find troubling. It is the manner in which you dismiss them as an anachronism of a past Church. No one with regard for extrinsic tradition would dismiss an element of it so flippantly.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

They are still some open. And I think its offensive to piety to say the philosophy behind them is wrong. Maybe tey don't work so well in today's world, but they worked quite well 50 and 100 years ago.
