  • “Trail of pain in church crisis leads to nearly every diocese,” The New York Times, Jan. 12, 2003. Sister Katarina Schuth, of the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity, is quoted in this story: “Seminaries were overhauled, in part, in recognition that they were producing unhealthy priests. By the late 1980’s, many Catholic seminaries and dioceses began psychological screening of candidates for the priesthood, said Sister Katerina [sic] Schuth, a sociologist at St. Paul’s [sic] Seminary at the University of St. Thomas. Human sexuality was added to seminary curriculums soon after 1992, when Pope John Paul II called for the church to pay attention to the ‘human formation’ of priests, said Sister Schuth. Studies show that more seminarians and priests now identify themselves as homosexual than in previous generations, and with the openness has come more candid discussion in seminaries of celibacy and chastity, she said.” You may need a New York Times account (free) to read this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/12/national/12PRIE.html
