Conservative Catholic Book (5 of 5): Seminary horrors.

From Michael S. Rose’s “Goodbye! Good Men: How Catholic Seminaries Turned Away Two Generations of Vocations from the Priesthood” (2002) (pp. 167-168):

The final straw [at St. Paul Seminary in Minnesota] for [a priest eventually ordained for a Midwestern diocese in the mid-1990’s] was a classroom incident in which a nun instructor encouraged all of the seminarians to get on their hands and knees on the floor and pretend they were cats – rubbing their “whiskers” up against each other.  [He] was fortunately transferred to a more conservative seminary where he was able to receive a proper formation and education.
