I lived in Santa Barbara, California in the late 1970’s and all of the 1980’s.

There is a seminary in that city.....St. Anthony’s Seminary.

At the time, there was a big scandal at St. Anthony’s Seminary.

The older men who ran the seminary would have the new “recruits”....the new, young male seminarians....strip down completely naked and then the young men would have their genitals examined; they were given hernia exams by the older “men.”

As I mentioned, it was a big scandal at the time. So yes, there is homosexuality at these seminaries.

I am hoping that we are witnessing the eventual collapse of the Vatican II sect.

I think the article is propaganda.

In our Archdiocese I just listened to part of a broadcast with the Archbishop being asked about this.

To even get into the seminary — it is a year long and sometimes longer period. Candidates undergo a two day psyche exam, parents, friends, pastors are interviewed. etc. etc.

Second interviews are scheduled for individuals with committees, the rector, the Archbishop, the abbot.

Now tell me how a subculture of homosexuality could exist through the rigors of this extensive entrance exam.

“Subculture” indicates minority. But it is becoming more obvious that homosexuals are prevalent in the priesthood. The subculture is now the celibate straight priest.
