Working behind the scenes at the behest of three former governors who 
are Catholic, the legal and medical guilds have worked with Conferences in 
the Northeast to reform the process of initiation and sacerdotal training of 
American youth.  Parish family groups will participate in evaluating 
aspiring nominees to the institutes, along with their peers. Psychological 
testing will be indepth and ongoing, as will be directed counselling.
   There is much documented evidence of inhouse malfeasence on the part of 
proctors, aimed at the young inmates, acquainting them with levels of conduct 
that bedevil in later years.   The first five years of study will therfore 
be offsite, at local colleges.  More remains to be done to make the calling 
less attractive to minds that make for a lifestyle that is not consistent with 
group standards.
   The Pacific Conference, Wash/Idaho/Oregon, permits offsite living by hires.  
Marriage status policy is 'dont ask-dont tell'.  The 'collars' are expected not 
to display spouses around precincts.  This has effectively voided headquarter 
rules on civil status.
   The status quo was not viable.  The financial strain on the system was at 
holocaust levels. Forced bankruptcies have ended services that are our very 
identity. Three Irish Wall Streeters gave two billion, anonymously.       eric.
