Priesthood vs. Parenthood

  • Two separate worlds in the Ascension universe collide in this special episode on priesthood vs. parenthood. Or maybe they’re not that separate and different after all. Jackie and Bobby talk with Fr. Mark-Mary of the CFRs, and discuss how “Every vocation requires sacrifice.” Parenthood and the priesthood both require constant selfless giving. They both require that we set ourselves aside so we can do God’s work. So next time you watch an Avengers movie, when you see all those superheroes come together for a common cause to save the universe, think of priests and parents because they also have a common cause: to make God’s love known in the world.

    at 7:35 "We have the same best friend"
    This is a huge reason I LOVE my conversion to Catholicism.
    There are friends I have, maybe even some family, that I just don't fundamentally connect with as much as some new Catholics I meet~
    When 2 devout Catholics shake hands for the very first time, they immediately have ALL of life's MOST IMPORTANT values in common, right away.

    Loved your comparisons of parenthood and priesthood. There's great spirituality in both walks of life. A parent's job is to teach the faith and pass on spirituality to the family (a family can be looked at as a small parish). A priest's job is no different. The priest will pass on the faith and spirituality to his family - his parishioners, the laity. Thanks!

      Not all priests are poor. Some of our parish priests live in big houses and have household staff. Order priests of course have less money. Also depends on the order and how generous they are to their priests.
      But personally I think priests should marry. Protestant Churches allow their priests marry. It really comes down to keeping money in the Church. It is just a Church Law. Lots of priests marry in South America.
      Better to marry than have a secret mistress.

    I love the priest. In my parish He is so gentle. When i'm making confession, We do not use the curtain. Would you choose two chairs facing each other? I think it face to face . I'm a returning Catholic . I'd left the church for a long time . I came back this year using my phone so I don't forget anything. No one is going to a mass every sunday. Taking the holy communion.

    I really enjoy your videos guys! I was at a retreat for marriage preparation with the Franciscans in Assisi and it was amazing. They warned us about certain things that could destroy a marriage. There are some I'd love to know your opinion about, because they are very subtle and not easy to pinpoint and fight. They are: handling relationship with families of origin and balancing a demanding work with family life. With these two issues it's tricky because many don't know where the limit is, and they are not really doing anything that could be seen as wrong. But they may end up killing the relationship overtime by depriving the family of what it deserves. Some don't even know what is it that you need to give to your family to make it thrive. Please tell us what you think about this and what is your experience. Thank you, God bless

    "Every vocation requires sacrifice" but only the Roman Catholic Church requires celibacy and they have only required it because when the Huns killed all the priests they asked some monks to become priests and they said they would but ONLY if the priests would be forever celibate. Well they HAVE NOT been celibate, as least most of them have not. It is time to remove celibacy as a requirement to be a Catholic Priest, Deacon, Bishop, Arch-bishop, Cardinal and yes Pope.

    • @prairiete
      @prairiete 5 років тому +1

      Greetings.
      Deacon can be married. And I know priests were married at one point in History, and sometimes, the reason for "forcing" celibacy weren't as noble as it should be.
      The point is, now, as well as mariage, priesthood is a call and a choice. They accept celibacy beforehand, it is not like it's something they discover after pronouncing their vows.
      And, as St Paul would say, in 1 Co 7: 32, 34 "An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand, is anxious about the things of the world, how she may please her husband."
      A lot of priests say that to be unmarried allows to be disponible, not for someone in priority (spouse and family), but for everyone in general and Jesus in particular, THROUGH everyone.
      If you're talking about pedophily scandals in the church that we hear more and more about, you may not know that sadly, it happens as frequently or more in families, some criminals being already engaged or married. The end of the celibacy isn't THE solution.
      I hope you have a nice day. And a good Holy Week. (I don't know if we say Holy or Saint in English)

    • @sarahbrennan1342
      @sarahbrennan1342 5 років тому

      Steve Blanck I agree... celibacy and marrying in priesthood are man made rules. Even Jesus had Mary Madeline. Less men are now going into the priesthood. This is a good video but being a priest and being a father is very different indeed.
