The article is DEEP and it would be best that you read it in full. And don’t let the part where a Jesuit denounces the relationship fool you. It is how The Jesuit Order operates. Play both sides, to make you think they are not so tightly in on all of it. They are.

(I am speaking of Seminary as understood in the United States, not the original definition of planting seeds.)
It is my position, that “seminary” is a Roman Catholic construct. Fit best for spreading indoctrination of false doctrines. True Christians, PROTESTants, would do best to avoid mirroring the practice. And study to preach and be Elders within local Church groups. As was in the early Churches in the book of Acts.

(1545-1563). In order for the church to fight the new Protestant Reformation, it had to better educate its clergy. The solution? The founding of the very first seminaries.’The Catholics wanted the learning and devotion of their priests to match that of the Protestant pastors.” Therefore, the Council of Trent required that all cathedral and greater churches “maintain, to educate religiously, and to train in ecclesiastical discipline, a certain number of youths of their city and diocese.” So we may credit the founding of the seminary to the Catholics in the late sixteenth century.
The origin of the first Protestant seminary is clouded in obscurity. But the best evidence indicates that the Protestants copied the Catholic model and established their first seminary in America. It was established in Andover, Massachusetts, in 1808.66

Seminary – History (Archive copy)
The establishment of seminaries in modern times resulted from Roman Catholic reforms of the Counter-Reformation after the Council of Trent.[3] These Tridentine seminaries placed great emphasis on spiritual formation and personal discipline as well as the study, first of philosophy as a base, and, then, as the final crown, theology.[4] The oldest Catholic seminary in the United States is St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore founded in 1791.[5] In the United States, Protestant institutions also widely adopted the term ‘seminary’ for independent graduate schools (separate from a university) to train their ministers. The oldest such Protestant seminary in the United States was founded in Andover, Massachusetts in 1807 as the Andover Theological Seminary and was affiliated with the Congregationalist Church. After two mergers and a number of relocations, Andover is now part of the Yale Divinity School, in New Haven, Connecticut.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
