On Liturgical Customaries for Seminaries: An Example of Mutual Enrichment from the Anglican Patrimony by Revd Fr Christopher Smith
I am told that nowadays some seminaries have attempted more precise handbooks of behavior in church and seminary, general rules of life. I have not seen any of them myself.

Chiesa: Farewell, Poland. Buttiglione Triumphs in Chicago. And Rodrigo Guerra Counter-replies
They were both scholars of the thought of Karol Wojtyla. But now they are in favor of communion for the divorced and remarried. The former garners the applause of Archbishop Cupich. And the latter duels with his Polish friend
