text: And you know this how, exactly?
  
  There is certainly anecdotal evidence to suggest that seminaries have become hostile to priests who support tradition. Perhaps Fr. Z's experience is an example of that. It would be charitable of you to entertain that possibility in his case. But you seem to have made up your mind about him.
  
  And as for any suggestion that a love of tradition makes a man unsuitable for the priesthood, that would depend upon a definition of suitability that is of very recent vintage and has a decidedly ideological tinge.
  
  And let's be honest: it has been decades since a love of traditional Catholicism has been anything but a hindrance for a man entering upon the priesthood. But somehow scores of men who had no business being in Holy Orders managed to slip through. The Church has barely begun to recover from this failure. 
  
  I wouldn't bring up the recent entrance standards of the seminaries if I were you: it's poor salesmanship.
