We're rolling. Greetings parish orphans and retrogrades. Today, you see me sitting at a different

spot in the desk, and it's a different kind of day, an exceptional sort of show. The question

at hand with my friend here is, are good seminarians being systematically expelled from seminaries in at least the American

Catholic Church? The reason I'm asking today is because it seems like a question that at least

merits investigation after what happened to young Andrew Wentworth here, who's a friend of the show, and I guess is an ex-seminarian.

I didn't know how to build this whole thing when I was telling you.

I'm like a seminarian, ex-seminarian.

I was asking our mutual friend, father, Father Alex, and I guess you are now an ex-seminarian because of something that at least

from the outset Parish Orpins and Retrogrades looks like has the appearance of systematic expulsion

of faithfuls.

And in this specific instance, we're going to get into the facts, systematic expulsion of those

seminarians who insist on kneeling for the reception of Holy Eucharist.

So with that titular marquee set of propositions flown at least once, let me introduce my friend

Andrew Wentworth, who is an ex-seminarian

in a neighboring diocese. He's here to tell his story of woe and shock and awe today. Welcome,

Andrew. Yeah, thank you, Tim. It is, I don't even know my current status, I guess,

you know, because I will get into it.

I'm being dismissed from seminary, but I am finishing the semester class-wise, so I'm still

taking classes.

So, ex-seminarian, seminarian, on the way out.

Something between an ex-seminarian and a seminarian.

That's literally why I was struggling to build this thing correctly or earlier.
