How a young priest is protected from ‘normal’ life

This is another true story by one of our readers. It clearly shows the manipulation which goes on the priest’s life as he is carefully kept away from the so called ‘normal’ experience of life for many years during his seminary (place of initial training) formation. At one moment, the priest grows up and the lid on his true feelings disappears! This is something not understood by those who claim that he knew what he promised to God (celibacy). In fact it’s not surprising that most priests have never received a kiss from a woman. It all boomerangs unto the priest when he grows up and starts to meet the normal world. Was his vow of celibacy valid when he was kept in the dark for such a long time?
The oldest of seven children, three brothers and three sisters, 10-year old John’s widowed mother sent him to a seminary in the hopes of giving him a good education. He grew up isolated from the rest of the world, following strict rules and regulations within the typical regimented spirit of a seminary or monastery. He was allowed to go home for brief annual holidays in his earlier years. He loved the contact with nature, the clean bubbly creeks, the snow-packed mountain peaks and the surrounding green pastures and hills.
