Question
Father, besides homosexuality, traditionally, how stringent was the screening process for seminary candidates, as compared to now?
Before Vatican II (1962-1965), much more stringent. Now, the New Order Church is so desperate for any warm body to become a presbyter that it is accepting all kinds of deviants: sexually, doctrinally, liturgically, etc. At the current rate there will be no presbyters left in Newchurch in 10-20 years.
