The pastors of souls have a grave responsibility in choosing the educators in their seminary. It is better to have a seminary closed down, than one entrusted to those who demolish the faith and Christian virtues, as unfortunately happens in many seminaries of our days.
Woe to those who have taken upon themselves the tremendous responsibility of a false and mistaken selection; by their incapacity and weakness, by their baseness or fear, they have become accomplices in the destructive work of Satan, of destroying souls!
Bishops and educators will have to render a most rigorous account before divine Justice, for all the evil of which they have been responsible, and let them think that they will find mercy, for they have sacrificed the highest good of souls, for their own sake and for the sake of their own prestige; the misled priests and the souls ruined by them, will rise up as witnesses, before the tribunal that allows no appeal.
My son, do not be astonished this time, if I am repeating things that I already taught you before, for it is necessary, My son, for all this that I tell you, to be written and spread; the welfare of My Church demands it.
