I'm sorry, but this is pathetic. Is this what seminarians spend their time doing, making goobery "Star Wars" home movies? Is this how you prepare to be a spiritual father? Maturity? Hello, anybody home?
God bless these seminarians -- humor is one of God's gifts. So is the ability to reach out to the young. I'm just sorry you've had to suffer undue ridicule for something so harmless.

Oh no ... seminarians who are doing things that NORMAL college guys are doing? Yeah, Rod -- we'd better stop this. It's better that they hide their normalcy. Why if we had seminarians who were more mainstream (instead of exclusively representing a 6% population group) it might mean that ... um ... well ... we may end up with priests more representative of the overall population ... who could relate to the other 94% of the population. I guess it's better that seminarians get into fabric, flowers, and flitting around. There must be something wrong with these guys -- they can operate a digital video camera ... AND they edited the video! Wow, seminarians who are technically savvy. What will this mean for the priesthood?>

I'd like to point out that that is REM, not hip-hop of any kind.>
