read the sayings of the desert fathers.
http://www.coptic.net/articles/sayingsofdesertfathers.txt
> Abba Abraham told of a man of Scetis who was a scribe and did not eat bread.
A brother came to beg him to copy a book. The old man whose spirit was engaged
in contemplation, wrote, omitting some phrases and with no punctuation. The
brother, taking the book and wishing to punctuate it, noticed that words were
missing. So he said to the old man, 'Abba, there are some phrases missing.'
The old man said to him, 'Go, and practise first that which is written, then
come back and I will write the rest.'

If you're serious then prepare yourself now. The life of the clergy is one of discipline and renunciation. There can be a unique kind of joy that goes with it, but that's given by the grace of God in old age after a life in service to others. Most if not all young men are too desirous and fitful to live in a convent and devote themselves to the Church. Before you consider living as a priest or a monk you need to read the catechism and the bible and follow the precepts of the Church: go to mass every Sunday and Holy Day; fast and abstain on days appointed by the Church; go to confession at least once a year; receive Holy Communion at Easter (and every Sunday in layman's devotion, or almost every day for clergy); give donations to your local Church when the collection plate goes around, and do service work for congregational members, or do community service; and observe the laws of the Church when it comes to personal relations, especially friendship and marriage. The catechism will inform you of all these things in good detail. The EWTN can keep you company when you are tempted to do other sinful things. Also, go talk to a priest if you're really considering giving yourself to the Church.

If you wanna waste your life living in fear of phantoms that don't exist, then sure. Just do he greater good a favor and don't reproduce.

>>76009053
>5 years
That's nothing in the life of the Church. It's over a thousand years old and decisions are made over generations. If someone who's baptized into the Church wants to go on the path of a priest or monk or nun they need to do these preliminaries >>76008426 and then go to a Catholic seminary school. The Church will pay your way but only as long as you keep your commitments to the order and the faith. Otherwise you will be stuck with debts like millions of laymen and non-Catholics. Then you will need a miracle. But whether you're in debt or not, there's no salvation outside of the Church. You need to Faith and the Holy Sacrament.

5 Years is the entry requirement. After that there is 2 year seminar along the working. Naturally the whole learning process lasts for lifetime.

Celibacy of the priests is not a biblical doctrine.
1. Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Titus 1:6-7 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
1. Timothy 4:1-4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
>>76010536
Haven't thought about it really. I'm definitely more interested in being a priest than following my potential degree into a career though.
>>76005750
You should have done it before uni. They would pay for your education.
>>76010700
If you like your community then stay put, but if you like living abroad then make sure it's a place where you could actually live. Certain places would be too big of a cultural shock imo
>>76011121
Celibacy became a thing because priests were being corrupt as fuck and diverting funds and making their family rich. The whole purpose of making priests celibate was as a way to make sure the priest's sole devotion was to the church.
Of course, the problem with this plan is that only allowing men to join the priesthood if they promise never to get their dick wet or have children is that it therefore ends up attracting a bunch of homos and other degenerates that use the priesthood as a way to try to escape from themselves. Hence all the kid-diddling. Which by the way, isn't just a problem with catholic priests. Rabbis too.
>>76010264
>implying authority and dogma are bad for self-knowing and social life
Read some Descartes and Vico. If you're not dogmatic you become useless or ineffectual from self-doubt; and knowledge of truth is made inconceivable since there's no authority to judge, i.e. oneself, one's society and one God.
>>76011899
>self-knowing
yeah, that's what this was about
>>76010264
But you don’t have to know anything to insist
you’re right, no matter what. Dogmatism is by far the best fall-back defense, the most
impregnable castle, that ignorance can find.
>>76005750
If you like feet, why not.
>>76011439
>the church therefore ends up attracting a bunch of homos and other degenerates that use the priesthood as a way to try to escape from themselves.
God created people with same-sex attractions to go into the priesthood. Now the secular, irreligious society the people accept unhealthy, impious behavior like sodomy and sex without marriage. The Western world is knowingly rejecting God and the Church without shame and so they cannot raise their spirits but wallow in vulgarity and sin. There's always been degeneracy in society but in the past it was curbed by institutions like the Church. The desires of men were turned to the eternal God and not the fetish objects of consumer culture.
>>76012785
>Dogmatism is by far the best fall-back defense, the most impregnable castle, that ignorance can find.
Yeah, because reading thousands upon thousands of pages explaining why single dogma is in its current state, is ignorance. You are nothing but degenerate relativist.
>>76005750
Only catholic.
>>76013331
Yes.
you know what i thought about in my teens and 20s?
you're just a cult of the sexually dysfunctional and useless
>>76013208
but you still believe?
>>76012785
>yeah, that's what this was about
Are you affirming my statement or trying to argue what? My point is that without personal or cultural dogmas there is no functioning society. It seems to me that we take them for granted, from our beliefs to our expectations and memories. Also, authoritative tradition is not necessarily a fall-back defense that's intellectually bankrupt; rather it's a good source of certainty for people to lead active and healthy lives. An uncertain state of mind and material insecurities are not sustainable - man cannot live this way. He falls into despair.
>>76013725
Of course
>>76013836
you're a right winger
there must be absolute truths.
are you sure?
>>76013725
I feel like that only warranted one post.
I've had 2 girlfriends. One when I was 16 for about 6 months and then one when I was 18 for 2 months. I'm not socially awkward (that's one of the reasons I want to be a priest) but I am still a virgin.
>>76014162
really, why did they leave? you're openness?
>>76005750
Good luck man, if you think God is calling you then go on.
>>76005750
You're not alone, brother. I'm already speaking with the vocation director in my archdiocese to join.
I'm 19 and just finished by first year of uni, so my case is different.
You should only join if you think you'll be able to live by the rules. Practice what you preach.
>>76014310
The first one split with after a fight and the second one I split with because she was pretty mean spirited and callous. The sort of girl that if you married she'd divorce you if it meant she got a lot of money.
>>76014335
Thanks
>>76014530
Good luck man
>>76014664
How's Catholicism doing in the UK, anyways?
We're still doing rather well over here, but I think that traditional parishes (FSSP and other Latin ones) will dominate in the next ~50 years. :)
>>76014664
the second one; she would not submit to your control?
>>76005750
I would probably try working for at least a couple of years to experience life outside of the whole uni environment thing. If I still felt the same way I would become a priest and would know it was the best decision as I would be more mature when making that choice. (I would hope). But it's up to you OP.
>>76005750
neither of them would?
>>76015018
I felt the same way when I started uni, but I honestly can't imagine myself doing anything else. It might be the same for OP.
>>76014061
If there's no one and absolute truth of a proposition then tell me what is "relative truth"? It's by logical necessity that the affirmation of one truth claim means a negation of what is (thereby) false. It's by the authority of one person or one God that certainty is conferred to these. Non-human animals don't have a say in what's true since it's a matter of law and reason. The fact that we can communicate and (apparently) understand the meaning of our statements is a sign that we are working from absolute assumptions as to language use and structure. If you go to doubt these rules of logic you will find that they're irreducible. These are the dogmas of men and from which all human things follow. I'm sure of this as much as I'm sure that I existence.
>>76005750
but you think you should tell ppl what to do based on your superstition?
>>76014899
It's losing a few young people but that's really just a fad. It's more to be rebellious than anything else. 5 out of my 7 good friends are Christian and things are Ok.

such important matter doesn't have its place here. talk to a priest britbro

>>76005750
Sure, it's not like you're getting laid anyway.
>>76015487
Don't some monasteries do retreats and stuff to give you a taste of what kind of life your are in for? Maybe it's worth looking into that as a way to help you make your decision.
>>76015843
it's a man baby!
>>76015602
>>76015936
I'd say I'm pretty committed by this point
>>76015487
That's good, man. I'd definitely talk to a priest. Also, I would recommend this discernment forum for young guys. I realize that there's LE REDDIT memes, but it's all Catholic people that follow the doctrines (not leftists) and there's some good info about discernment. https://www.reddit.com/r/Discerning
It's private, so you just need to make an account and send a message to the mods. They should add you within 30 mins.
God bless and good luck with your vocation.
>>76016511
Thanks man, I didn't expect this much advice or help
>>76016365
Is the discernment process still longer than getting a BA? You should have ample time to back out.
I wouldn't stay if I was surrounded by sodomites. I've always had more respect for the honest whore on the street than the power whore who pretends to be pure.
Hope you find a good Seminary, I know there are plenty of bad ones.
>>76016848
No problem, man. Just going to add this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/ (don't go to the r/Catholic one, it's run by anti-Catholic trolls). Like the other one, it's a pretty big community of believers. You could make a post there and you might get better help since there's a few priests and a handful of seminarians.
>>76005750
Well no you'll have an excuse why you're still a virgin.
