Yea Forums on why I shouldn't take up priesthood...

If you truly feel the calling, do not deny it. Just understand the situation the Church is in right now. There is no room for mediocre priests, only ones who are willing to dedicate everything they have to God and the well-being of the Church. I'll pray that you'll make the best decision.

Whatchya giving up for lent btw?

Or in a way, it could be life affirming. Is it too different from volunteering as a soldier during wartime? Of course it is an extreme example, but living in a restrictive manor with the possibility you may die before living your life completely. It’s about devoting yourself to a goal in a heideggerian way and living the best story you can think of.

Literal pedo apologist

Go forth and multiply is a commandment of God.
We are created to reproduce, not self sterilise.
Anyway, the church of Rome is the anti-Christ.

What the hell is going on in that picture?

>ah yes, the actions of a few priests, who are condemned by the entirety of the Church, represent all Catholics

Looks like an initiation or blessing.

Oh yes, just because I dont think priests are all pedos means im an apologist

Kill yourself

Please stop criticizing Catholics if you do not understand Catholic theology

I don't know man that looks pretty gay to me

Still worrying about what other people think during these days? Make the best of your remaining 6 months goys

priests still live in the world.

OP, read St. Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. They're extremely useful in discerning vocations. Work through the exercises, and they'll help you to figure out what you're meant to do in life.

As a young man Íñigo had a great love for military exercises as well as a tremendous desire for fame. He framed his life around the stories of El Cid, the knights of Camelot, and the Song of Roland. He joined the army at seventeen, and according to one biographer, he strutted about "with his cape slinging open to reveal his tight-fitting hose and boots; a sword and dagger at his waist". According to another he was "a fancy dresser, an expert dancer, a womanizer, sensitive to insult, and a rough punkish swordsman who used his privileged status to escape prosecution for violent crimes committed with his priest brother at carnival time." Upon encountering a Moor who denied the divinity of Jesus, he challenged him to a duel to the death, and ran him through with his sword. He dueled many other men as well.

Live your life he did don't be cucked without even experiencing anything

Don't you realize the mantra "experience everything then settle" is just another imitation at this point? Nothing is organic.

This. I would be the laziest, most halfassed priest ever. Rush through mass and then just chill in the rectory the rest of the time.

its a surrogate activity

I guess you could switch it up be a priest first then become a degenerate. Would add an extra frisson to debauchery

please dont be a fat priest

You mean to join the RCC priesthood. Anglicans, Orthodox, and most other denominations don't do priestly celibacy. Even the Eastern Catholics don't, Rome is just weird.

It's almost like one's more than a biological organism.

Isn't the church kinda fucked right now with a jesuit/satanist pope?

They need to get the Hitler Youth guy back. Guy looked like the emperor from Star Wars

As Dostoevsky put, the Catholic church preaches a Christ that succumbed to the third temptation of the devil: worship me and all the kingdoms of the earth will be yours. It's why they have a nation state, and armed guards, and wear the imperial purple. So yes, the Catholic church is satanic at root.

Cringe yet based

I want to be the next Julian Sorel. What’s the priesthood in 2020? Becoming an academic?

I'm 34 and a wizard. By my late twenties I accepted I'd never so much as kiss a girl and stopped trying to attain one. Since then my libido's waned and I only get the urge to wank it once a week or so.

Easy to find prostitutes on the internet bro even after backpages went down

That makes no sense at all. I doubt Dosto ever muttered something similar to what you wrote.

Eh. If it's just some stranger I bought 10 minutes ago I'd feel too awkward to enjoy it, plus it sounds like an expensive habit.

Sonce this is Yea Forums I'm going to recommend the stories of JF Powers, who specialized in writing understated, wryly funny fiction about mediocre Catholic priests in post-war America.

Probably because you're ill suited to the priesthood and likely don't even have a personal faith in Christ and are just viewing it an avenue of escapism from crushing materialism
This describes a lot of priests though so go nuts OP

You can still drink that's man's oldest substitute for all those things

How else could you possibly escape the ratrace other than becoming a priest/bhikku/imam/whatever?

>"few"
>"condemned" as in covered up

Don't forget how many of them are promiscuous actual faggots
