I just found a priesthood manual from 1954. Here is what was taught.
8 weeks on the philosophy of St Augustine.
2 weeks on Pelagius
2 weeks on Monasticism
4 weeks on changes to early Christian worship, liturgy and "the reorganization of church in rome"
3 weeks on the development and birth of the papacy
8 weeks on the reformation including 3 weeks on Martin Luther
4 weeks on the restoration
Here is an interesting tidbit from page 154
(The church) had deprived the people of the right to investigate and to think, and had substituted for personal responsibility, the responsibility of the Church. All needed only to accept blindly what the Church formulated.
