This was (is) a place notorious for gay activity/men coming in from around the country (world, actually as there is a large filipino/latin american contingent) to be near San Francisco and live a very gay lifestyle while "studying" to be a priest (at the expense of the church and benefactors). Why is the behavior tolerated? You'll have to use your imagination there. Suffice it to say, if we (the church) are lucky, these people leave the seminary after they get their (paid) education. But far too many remain in the priesthood and continue the predatory, obfuscating tactics they picked up there. And make no mistake; the previous bishops of the Archdiocese were informed and very aware of what was going on.

Jesuit houses of formation programs are rife with chicken hawks.<br /><br />The scholastics that play their game get accolades and special privileges - and perpetuate the system until they decide to leave.<br /><br />The faithful ones who resist are labelled, ostracized and graduate with a raging case of PTSD from having to look over their shoulders at every step.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-66935483128554581222013-07-15T19:26:30.993-04:002013-07-15T19:26:30.993-04:00If you read his bio, he entered the Society in 197...If you read his bio, he entered the Society in 1975 and left in 1990. That means that the Jesuits invested 15 years of training and education, and he bailed right after he finished his degree, but not before securing a job at Holy Cross.<br /><br />It's a great gig when you can get a Catholic religious order to pay for your education, flaunt the teachings of the Church, have an affair, leave the order, but keep your job at a Jesuit university and get grant funding to sustain teaching gigs at other Jesuit institutes of higher learning - including the formation of young Jesuits.<br /><br />How the Jesuits retain benefactors is beyond me.<br /><br />In the interim, actual orthodox Catholic PhDs are scraping by on adjunct professor salaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-44748066160420044872013-07-15T15:35:53.319-04:002013-07-15T15:35:53.319-04:00Another example of predators running the seminarie...Another example of predators running the seminaries/universities.
