text: Cordileone wants a pure catholic identity and a very conservative seminary....a guy I know,  excellent teacher there...told me about 6 months ago that the Cordileone was importing ultra conservative faculty and my friend didn't think he could stand it all that much longer..the personal life style of the students has tightened up rigorously ...think they only have one sat a month off...Much tougher oversight....I would think today's kids might want a different seminary experience....noted with interest that the Oakland Diocese apparently has students at Mt Angel, and a Spanish speaking Sem...as well as St Pats....Oakland apparently ordained three recently.
  
  Cordileone does not appear to be able psychologically to NOT interfere...(reminds me of Trump).....and he is surrounded by a number of  very conservative bishops as well.....
  
  No thanks to Rome for this mess...and tough on the Bay Area....fortunately we have a lot of Jesuits and other Order guys.....
