An inquiry has been launched into allegations of “sexual deviancy and improper conduct” at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton
Cardinal Sean O’Malley, archbishop of Boston, said he is launching an inquiry into allegations former seminarians made this week about their time at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton.
An article posted online by ex-seminarian John Monaco led to an inquiry into allegations of “sexual deviancy and improper conduct” at the seminary, including excessive drinking.
”Some priests on the faculty would get drunk with a select group of seminarians and invite them into their rooms late at night,” Monaco wrote. “One night, a priest on the formation faculty got so drunk during a seminary party that he fell out of his chair.”
