David Quinn misses the point about seminaries

In this week's Irish Catholic David Quinn writes an opinion piece on concerns expressed about the national seminary, Maynooth.

The piece follows a news story in last week's edition.

He cites a controversy as to whether one should kneel or not kneel, Quinn also says that a great deal of theological training in Ireland seems to stray from the fundamentals of Cathoic theology.

He makes this statement without giving one single example to back up his argument.

But the problems of 'priestly formation' are never honestly discussed. And the issues are as clear as the nose on one's face.

The real issues are never openly and properly discussed. And so it goes. On and on.
