Return to article: How to Become a Catholic Priest
on 5/12/2008 While I cannot tell you not to be suspicious - I think that the test of time - in good and bad - that the cause for clerical celibacy is not contradictory. While celibacy is a condition to being ordained a priest (in the Latin rite), it is completely the free choice of the individual - under coersion, it is invalid.
on 12/3/2007 I can't help but be suspicious (and mistrustful) of ANY belief system that 'denies' one a healthy exercise of human sexuality, as this religion does with their 'priests'... This spiritual group (Catholic) professes belief in a Creator, who directed the human family of 'children' to reproduce, and become caretakers of the forms of this Divine creation. Seems contradictory to me - and this group appears to practice dogmatic directives, fraught with 'control' tactics, that humans are so very capable of creating, and enforcing. Sounds too commonly human - a far cry from supernatural/superior.
on 10/18/2007 Lovejoy13: Why are you commenting? You clearly are not interested in becoming a priest. Yes, priests are human. And, yes, the Catholic Church (note caps) is a human organization. If you are looking for perfection, perhaps you are looking in the wrong place.
on 8/18/2007 Shouldn't all jobs require a search of criminal or sexual misconduct history?
