The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

Where does it end?

CNN.com reports that a number of seminarians at a Roman Catholic seminary in Austria have been busted for a variety of homoerotic photography, some child pornography and others photos of the seminarians engaged in homosexual behavior. With seminaries turning out priest who already live in homoerotic relationships and show a predilection toward pedophilia, is it any wonder that they are mired in a worldwide scandal over the sexual abuse of parishioners by the priest who are charged with watching over them? This is the response of the inquisitor sent by Rome to look into this...

>>>The bishop called for a "new beginning" for the seminary. As for the existing seminary students, they will have access to medical or spiritual help, have the opportunity to apply to other seminaries, or seek another profession, he said.<<<

The current students will be allowed to transfer or seek guidance? They all had to know this was going on. Until Rome cracks down on the seminary system as a whole, this will continue to fester. Of course, were Rome to turn to a biblical understanding of the priesthood and roles of church leaders, abondoning the "celibate" priesthood, the problems would diminish greatly. That seems unlikely...
