I just don't get it. How can a man spend years in the seminary and then within months of leaving be involved in a relationship? Not just involved, but intimate. I truly see the diabolical here. When a man is preparing himself for the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, he becomes the target of Satan's wrath.
I have seen it time and again. Someone leaves the seminary and the next thing you know, he's taking trips with his girlfriend, and acting like a wild dog. One would think that the normal course of action is that you leave the seminary and spend the rest of your days as a much better Catholic than when you entered. Instead, it seems the powers of Hell are unleashed upon the man.
We can only pray for grace for the men in the seminary. We can only pray that they will not fall to the prowling lion, as St Peter describes him.
On the other hand, perhaps some just need to experience the Snipping Rite created by Fr P.

About Me
- Lone Star PLU
- PLU -- People Like Us -- those who are fiercely loyal to the Magisterium and the Tradition of the Church. We've been known to appear in soutaines in public and promote adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We are a new generation of clergy. We want to recover what has been lost. We aren't interested in the so-called changing face of the Priesthood -- only it's unchanging Heart -- the Heart of Christ. Viva Cristo Rey!
