    I was a pagan child as well. I was four years old when I decided that I wanted to be baptized CATHOLIC. My mom and dad are not Catholics. Thanks be to God that four days before my fifth birthday I was baptized Catholic. I was baptized September 11.... what a coincidence, there is a history about September 11th. Deo gratias. Thanks be to God you said yes to the Priesthood. God bless and protect His faithful Priests. I love and I am thankful to God for His faithful Priests. I DO NOT WANT A WORLDLY PRIEST. I WANT A FAITHFUL AND holy Priests. We need more truthful and holy Bishops and Priests and definitely a holy faithful Pope... not a worldly pope who does not cared about saving souls from burning in hell. Climate change, promoting evil wicked godless agendas will not saved my soul from burning in hell. Thanks be to God that I know the truth and can not be brainwashed no more. No lies, no falsehoods, division, etc, etc will not bring me to heaven... no ways Jose.

    It is very interesting what you say here about the buildings of monasteries and churches. The faith and love for God that went into these buildings is so special. I come from a small island in the Baltic Sea with over 90 medieval churches and also many ruins from such churches and monasteries. After the reformation these churches no longer are places for celebrating Holy Mass but we sometimes visit them, praying the Rosary to let theses old buildings remember...And these churches do remember...one can almost hear and very much feel it when being there. It is wonderful that you build new monasteries and have a very much alive Catholic church in your part of the world. (We happily have a small Catholic church on the island these days, a modern building and believers from many parts of the world and a priest we have borrowed from California as we have too few of our own. Please excuse my not too good English)

    Hi brother, aren't you canons rather than monks? The distinction is vital. What did you mean about being a pagan child? Did your parents not have you baptised?

    There was a study done in the 1930-1990s where every 10 years they asked a population of Catholic seminarians if they thought there was an active homosexual sub population within the seminary, by 1970 over 50% of those surveyed reported yes. Do what this information what you will. I believe the same trend occurs in monasteries

      There has always been and will always be homosexuals in the convent and priesthood.The Vatican is full of homosexuals if you have not heard.Not all homosexual nuns and priests are breaking their vows just like all heterosexuals nuns and priests are not breaking their vows.

    The religious order called "the Norbertines" is NOT an order of monks. It is an order of priests who live in community.
    Monks are not, by definition, priests. They are in fact usually NOT priests. Norbertines are, by definition, priests who live in community to support their spiritual lives.
    Norbertines should not pretend to be monks. They are not.

  • @fredphilippi8388
    @fredphilippi8388 Před 3 měsíci

    This man is NOT a monk. He is what the Church calls a Canon Regular, i.e., a priest who lives in community.
    Monks are, by definition, NOT priests, although some may happen to also be priests.
    This fake monk speaks, first of all, about clothing. As an adult, you just gotta wonder.... A guy who is all about how he dresses???
