The Tablet reports a story about anti-Semitism in the diocesan seminary in Würzburg.
Diocesan bishop Friedhelm Hofmann has appointed an external commission to look into allegations that seminarians tried to spread anti-Semitic views and celebrated Hitler's birthday on April 20.
There have also been allegations that the students trivialised the systematic annihilation of Jews in nazi Germany.
Important to note they are allegations. But if true it is awful.
Of course nazi talk is a step too far but is there anyone asking what at all is happening in the preparation of young men for priesthood?
Maybe it is that the church is the natural home for right wing ideologues?
