"Holy See to publish document on use of psychology in seminaries"

Important:

On October 30 the Congregation for Catholic Education will issue a new document entitled, “Orientations For The Use Of Psychological Competencies In The Admission And Formation Of Candidates To The Priesthood.”

...According to a Vatican official consulted by CNA, the document “is intended to propose clear criteria for establishing an adequate balance between recourse to psychology and spirituality, in order to avoid falling into both a psychology that ignores sin and grace, and a spirituality that overlooks factors related to the human mind and affectivity.” (CNA)

Without going into details, I have heard that the use of psychology has been abused in seminarian formation programs in the past, and the Holy See has as one its top priorities ... fixing it, and quickly.
