So Bishop Zendejas has a seminary in Kansas? I hadn't heard that before. Would Father Hewko be competing with him or joining forces?
Well, it’s more a house of spiritual formation, where young men can come to see whether they are able to live by a rule, and pick up a little French along the way. If so, then at least for the time being, they’d head for the SAJM seminary in France. But with acreage, a house, and chapel just a mile away, it is certainly the start of a seminary.
As regards whether Fr. Hewko would represent competition or a joining of forces, I guess that depends on all the aforesaid:
If both can accept that there are varieties of charisms to which young men might be called, and heading one way need not be interpreted as a rejection of the other, then there’s no reason that it can’t work out.
Much will depend upon the willingness and ability of both sides to WANT it to happen. Surely both can admit that perpetual warfare over non-dogmatic matters bears little good fruit.
