The Inquisition, Part Deux
The apostolic visitation is back. Formators warned our seminarians: "There are three words that are going to mean very different things to the bishops than they do here: relativism, critical (as in thinking), and feminism."
Because who needs academic rigor and inclusion when you've got absolutism, dogmatism, and misogyny?

Theologienne, do you think you could explain this ominous comment a little bit? Formators sounds like something in Harry Potter. While I believe I am instinctively in your camp on the church's despotic nature, your post makes me wonder if it was sparked by some new development?
Did you know that this weird transparent pink pop up on IHS appears now in the upper right of your blog?
I left a comment yesterday. Where is it?
Sorry about the comments, guys. Some Blogger hiccup made them moderated, and I had no idea all these great comments were sitting there waiting for me.
Nice one on the formators. Remember, the apostolic visitation is the bishops coming around to see if seminaries are orthodox enough, and, in the popular imagination, checking to see if seminarians are gay? The powers that be at school wanted to issue a word to the wise to make sure the bishops wouldn't hear anything they didn't like from the guys they talked to.
