Sadly, it’s more proof that infiltration happened at the sspx long ago. 1) +Williamson was liked by the seminarians, but was transferred. Wasn’t this right after +Fellay was in control? And a Frenchman took +W’s place? Seems too coincidental. 2) A 90% failure rate? Gotta keep the sspx small and controllable. Only ordain ‘yes men’. Get rid of normal joes. 3) Find an intellectual seminarian? See if you can control him by psychoanalysis, special promotions and coercion. (See Fr Robinson). 4) Have the seminary run by negative, controlling, power hungry priests. Take all the catholic beauty out of religious life. 5). Focus on obedience and conformity, in an effort to thwart those seminarians who are charismatic, sanguine and creative. Because those types of priests (St Don Bosch, St Paul, St Peter) make great leaders.

Sure this isn’t how +ABL ran a seminary. This sounds psychotic. And purposeful. You shouldn’t be a changed person going through seminary. A better person? Yes. An improved person? Yes. But changed? No. God uses the personalities He creates for the good of the Church. Everyone has different talents to offer.
