@philosopher -Yes! I am sure 30%+ of both seminarians and priests are homosexuals. Disgusting. The root is Paul VI (who many said was gay himself, having supposedly an "affair" with an Italian actor in the 1950's. I wonder if the great Pope Pius XII knew it, and thats why he was booted out of the Vatican to Milan?
The North American College in Rome, with a capacity of 250+ seminarians was soliciting funds for an extension during the reign of Pope Benedict XVI because it was packed, especially after the introduction of Summorum Pontificum. Now, however, under Pope Francis, and after a huge homo sex scandal caused by the rector and vice rector appointed under Bergoglio, the enrollemt is about 90....a huge decline in 8 years. Many quit because of the homosex scandals, others because thy hate the anti-Catholic agenda of Pope Francis.
One Order of priests near my house had a huge seminary on the campus of the University they run. Dedicated in 1961 for 200 seminarians studying philosophy, at its peak it had 90, because 4 years later came along Vatican II, the Novus Ordo, and enrollment crashed. Today, they have only 2 seminarians for their Province of St. Thomas (East Coast), and only 1 novice!! ( over 200+ in philosophy and theology, and another 125 in novitiate and as postulants before the filth of Vatican II))
Two of their priests were accused of homo advances on high school students in recent years (I was one as a senior, 2014

So yeah, homos infect the priesthood and seminaries, all the more thanks to Pope Francis, who loves them and supports them and defends them so much its sickening....besides being a scandal. That these idiot Cardinals have not forced him to resign in shocking and sick. Unless most of his cardinal appointments are homos themselves, which I would not doubt (Cupich, McElroy, Tobin,Gregory at least).
