Denver Seminary’s bizarre 15-person yeti blood oath ritual erupted during a Crested Butte ski trip, colliding “What is a Catholic seminary prank?” with “Are priests ever suspended for hazing?” queries. Led by Fr. John Nepil and a costumed yeti, seminarians faced a midnight dagger, a dollar bill, and a bloodied cloth—before returning to the living room with mouths taped shut. “A well-intended moment, it clearly went badly wrong and never should have happened,” the Archdiocese admitted, calling it both farce and grave miscalculation.

After the taped-mouth procession and dagger tableau, fallout split Denver clergy and Google: “What happens when a seminary misbehaves?” and “Do churches investigate pranks?” spiked as dioceses considered pulling students. The yeti-clad spectacle’s video wound its way to the apostolic nunciature, while Fr. Nepil apologized and was briefly removed, yet soon reappeared as vice rector. One observer dryly noted, “People who come up here, not everyone makes it.”

Fifteen seminarians faced a costumed yeti and a dagger at 2 a.m.—then emerged, mouths taped, clutching bloodied cloth, all under the camera’s silent, snowbound gaze.
