The day after the raid on Sante Fe, the rector of Holy Apostles College and Seminary in the Archdiocese of Hartford came forward to discuss the shocking conclusions of a 2012 investigation. The final report spoke of a gay subculture at the seminary, which it situated “in the context of a much wider homosexual network that spanned a number of US dioceses as well as some foreign countries”.
According to the National Catholic Register, Holy Apostles in Cromwell, Connecticut, came into possession of “forensic evidence of homosexual content on computers”. The investigation also considered the testimonies of several young men studying for the priesthood who observed “sexually inappropriate behaviour and sexually charged conversation in common areas”. Two others claimed to have witnessed “inappropriate contact” among a group of Colombian seminarians.
