Thanks for sharing this perspective.
I'm Roman Catholic, and our seminaries are currently facing a crisis. Not all of them, but some, have a great deal of corruption.
The idea that separating men from the community can be harmful is interesting. I don't entirely disagree. St Charles Borromeo was instrumental in developing our "modern" seminary formation for priests.
That has been unraveling in the States, and it has been disastrous.
Pray for us, brother.

I most definitely will be @protegeaa!
Have you read a book called The Impulse of Power by Michael W. Kelley? I feel like it has been really helpful identifying power religion and its abuses in the modern church.
