The idea of recruiting young and immature 13 and 14-year old boys for "high school seminary" education for the priesthood was always a very dubious notion and has largely been discredited and abandoned. Why is this still going on?

As a high school seminary alumnus (Holy Name Seminary Madison WI '87), I am surprised that there are any still in existence in the US. I hope an pray these charges are false.
