A seminarian reports on his seminary’s plans for the announcement of the next Pope
From a seminarian:
I just got done praying for good weather in Rome.
I thought it would be interesting to hear what seminaries are doing during this Conclave, and especially how they will celebrate when our new Pope is elected.
Here in Saint … Continue reading

More on priests and formation in both the Extraordinary and the Ordinary Form
This continues a couple different entries (HERE and HERE).
From a priest:
I am also a young priest (30), and an alumnus of your alma mater. [Neither "alma" nor "mater" in my day, I'm afraid.] Though I have received training in the … Continue reading

FEEDBACK: If a priest cannot say Mass in the Extraordinary Form, is he properly trained?
A young priest took exception to what I wrote the other day about seminarians who are not given training by seminaries for the use of the Extraordinary Form.

In The Wild: Save The Liturgy car mag
I received a photo of a seminarian’s vehicle with a delightful (and available) car magnet.

QUAERITUR: Seminary monitors seminarians’ email, surfing. Wherein Fr. Z administers tough love.
In the USA huge strides have been taken back toward sanity in the Catholic Church’s seminaries. The “biological solution” is having its way with the liberals and modernists who have dominated chanceries and seminaries for decades. Though some hang on … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: BEARDS! FACIAL HAIR! BISHOPS! SEMINARIANS! DRAMA! SCANDAL!
