Does anyone have any knowledge has to how the seminary in Kentucky is being operated from day to day?
The reason I'm curious is because usually you'll have a seminary faculty where certain priests or professors teach certain subjects. With the amount of traveling Fathers Hewko and Pfeiffer do I can't but think how the seminary is operating on a daily basis.
Questions such as who is teaching history, moral theology, philosophy, etc. come to mind. Also what is the daily schedule there? Is Father Dardis still around? Does Father Voight teach classes? What role does each priest contribute in regards to the seminary.
There is a lot at stake with the training of men to the priesthood, so these were some things that I was curious about.

From what I've heard, coming from an ex-seminarian there, it was just way too much about geocentrism there.

As I said, too much geocentrism.

Salvageable, as long as they let it be clearly known that heliocentrism is perfectly allowable for Catholics to believe.

If I were pope, the teaching of heliocentrism would become heresy. :furtive:
From what I hear from a reliable source, the geocentrism issue is far from the major one. I think the problems go a bit deeper than that. I get the impression that it may be more like the early stages of creation where the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.

Except that heliocentrism is demonstrably false. Even most modern physicists don't believe in heliocentrism. You speak as if heliocentrism and geocentrism are the only two possibilities.
