As a former Protestant Pastor, I went through a thorough vetting. The process was background and psychiatric examination to just become a candidate for ordination. Then I was what was called in care process for at least one year. During the in care process, the authorizing group could drop the candidate for any or no reason.  During this process, similar to a student teacher, I was observed and would communicate with the ordained pastor at least weekly. At this point, if any information came forward from anyone and there were questions, the candidate would have to answer the questions before the authorizing group. If they felt there were allegations, then the candidate would have to answer further. The questioning could head into any direction and so the candidate had to become like recent U.S. Supreme Court Justice Candidate. Don't say too much! I would ask anyone what's the basic outline for priest candidates. This particular story still has many questions left unanswered.
