See here for a fine minor seminary (college seminary): http://www.vianney.net/.
Here the seminarians can be seen in procession on occasion of the beginning of the new school year.
If the seminarians are allowed to dress in layclothes like this on a regular basis (even in Rome), I can understand not many want to be a priest.
ReplyDeleteBring back mandatory use of the cassock/soutane at all times for all diosecean seminarians (even when just going for a walk...just like the SSPX smeinarians do).
I agree with anonymous, however might I ask a question, the formation provided by the SSPX seminaries is exactly what needs to be applied throughout the church as a whole. Is it possible to recieve the same formation, outside of the SSPX?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to be formed in a traditional manner, without having to 'exclude' oneself from the structures of the Church ?
Seminary formation cannot be reduced to the wearing of the Roman cassock. Formation: clothing for sure but also spiritual, academic, human (liturgical is spiritual).
