A few questions

[Guest Weirdo]

If one was to major in Philosophy but attend a Catholic College instead of college seminary, is the two year pre-theology waived?

How many hours of philosophy is needed before major seminary?

If one goes through pre-theology do they receive a BA in Philosophy?

Is theology or religious studies needed before entering major seminary, or is it just philosophy?

If their is a concelebrating priest do they wear the chesible as well? (Chesible is that big one right?)

Thanks,

Weirdo

Weirdo,

Lots of questions - let me try to tackle them.

(1) Pre-theology embodies more than just philosophy; there are also basic religious/theological studies that one must complete before entering a theologate.

(2) As it currently stands, one needs eighteen hours of undergraduate-level philosophy to enter major seminary. However, that number will change within the next six to eight months to thirty hours.

(3) No, one does not receive a B.A. in philosophy if he goes through pre-theology.

(4) Yes, I believe that twelve hours of undergraduate-level theology/religious studies are needed before entering a theologate.

(5) I'm not certain on the rule with regards to this last point, so I can't help you out there.

Hope this helps.

Yours,
Pio Nono

A concelebrating priest should, if possible, wear a chasuble.

If it is not prudent, then an alb and stole are worn.
