  1. I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THIS REPORT BUT CAN IT BE REAL ? I HAVE HEARD SO MUCH TO THE CONTRARY REGARDING FORMATION ,EDUCATION IN MORALS , THE SCREENING PROCESS , ETC. THAT I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS REPORT AS REPRESENTATIVE . WHAT ABOUT THE NOTRE DAME SEMENARY AKA " THE PINK PALACE " WHERE STRAIGHT CANDIDATES WERE DISCOURAGED FROM ENTERING OR ISOLATED IF THEY DID SOMEHOW GET THROUGH THE PINK SCREEN ? IF THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAS BEEN REMEDIED , I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO TIP MY HAT .
