PITTSBURGH – Three Western Pennsylvania seminaries will be evaluated over the next several months in a Vatican study prompted by the Roman Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandals.

The study will examine the psychological, spiritual, intellectual and sexual factors that shape priests at Ss. Cyril & Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary in Pittsburgh, St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe and St. Paul Seminary in East Carnegie.

U.S. bishops requested the study, which has 55 questions.
