Here's a snippet for ya, from Alan Keyes show on June 13, 2002:
We have with us tonight the author of a book, "Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church." Michael Rose is somebody who hasn't shrunk from looking at this aspect of the issue head-on, going into whether there is in fact a factual basis for this concern about tolerance for homosexuality within the priesthood and it's effects.
Michael Rose, welcome to MAKING SENSE.
MICHAEL ROSE, AUTHOR: Thank you so much, Alan. Thanks for having me on.
KEYES: Now, obviously you have thought about this very question, in terms of the contribution made by homosexuality to this crisis and the role that it played. What would you say is, in fact, the role of homosexuality? Is it a root cause here? Is it a symptom, in terms of the kind of problems that have emerged over the course of the last months and years?
ROSE: Well, I think the problem really is the gay subculture that has flourished in the seminaries over the last 35 years. And in my research, one of the obstacles to young men becoming priests in the Catholic Church has been the presence of that active gay subculture.
Often a young man will enter a Catholic seminary expecting to find wise, strong men, like Bing Crosby or Spencer Tracy. And what he finds instead sometimes are the Village People. At St. Mary's in Baltimore, for example, there were many students who recounted to me seeing fellow students and also faculty members actually gathering together to go cruise the gay bars on the weekend.
And if that wasn't bad enough, when the students complained about the gay subculture, oftentimes they were persecuted. They were sent to psychological counseling for being homophobic. They were labeled sexually disordered, and eventually expunged from the system.
(CROSSTALK)
KEYES: Go ahead. I didn't mean to interrupt.
ROSE: Well, I was just going to add that what I found in my research, interviewing over 150 men who were in the seminaries, is that there's been sort of a reverse discrimination. There's been a systematic rooting out of the man who accepts the teachings of the Catholic Church, and especially the teachings on sexual morality. And I'm talking over the last three decades, or so.

My understanding is that this seminary in Baltimore is now the seminary of choice for the Diocese of Camden under the leadership of Bishop Galante. Doesn't inspire confidence in his vision for the Diocese of Camden.
No indeed it does not. One has to wonder about bishop's motivations in switching seminaries. A contact informed me that it was due to Galante's "theological differences" with St. Charles Borromeo. Additionally, Bishop Galante will not allow the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, which has allegedly offered to send us priests since they are bursting at the seams.
I must question the truth regarding the statement about the Baltimore Seminary being the "seminary of choice" for Bishop Galante.

Editor's Note: We do not accept posts from double identities. This "sanpietro98" posing under a second identity. For the curious, "Donna Noble" is a Dr. Who character. Cute. Clearly this "person" is representing the diocese in some fashion and this website is not intended to give the diocese a platform to spew its propaganda.
Well Donna, send us the data that shows otherwise, like a list of seminarians that have entered seminary under Galante's reign, the date they entered, and where they've gone and it should become clear rather quickly.
I'd love to believe that this isn't true, so please, convince us!
