Excerpt:

Q. If these men were trained to be ministers in another denomination, how can we be assured that what they teach and preach is truly Catholic? 

A. Men seeking to be ordained under these provisions undergo a theological evaluation some time during the first year of the process. Their knowledge of seven subjects is evaluated by a team of experts. The areas tested are: Ascetical Theology, Canon Law, Church History, Dogmatic Theology, Liturgical and Sacramental Theology, Moral Theology, and Sacred Scripture. 

Based on this evaluation, a prescribed plan of studies is assigned on a case-by-case basis. After the syllabus is completed the candidate is required to pass one written and one oral exam in each of the seven subjects noted above.
