This is why menno Simon's left the priesthood... as "consecrated religious" are "extra Christian" then the rest of the church. He'd say, no, we are to all be removed from the world, and to live Christ day in and day out without vows or swearing oaths. The "habit" is worn by all as to keep from worldly fashion trends, and isn't a cover for worldly clothes. Plain clothes/habit are your only clothes. Menno Simon's is the founder of the Mennonites, and because Mennonites became too worldly Jacob Ammon broke from Mennonites and started the Amish...with same the original hopes as Menno. Some theological differences between both.
Fascinating. Are you in disagreement with what was expressed in this video? Also, are you Mennonite? Also, was Menno a Catholic priest? I don't know anything about this topic. I would love to hear more.
@@Abel-ec6ch I was Beachy Amish. Yes he was. I’m now Catholic. from Wikipedia: Menno Simons was a Roman Catholic priest from the Friesland region of the Low Countries who was excommunicated from the Catholic Church and became an influential Anabaptist religious leader. Simons was a contemporary of the Protestant Reformers and it is from his name that his followers became known as Mennonites. Wikipedia
That was the kindest way you could've told me, "Just Google it, stupid." Now I want to ask some things I can't Google: please, what were some of your major thoughts that accompanied you from your Amish community into the Church? What books did you read? Do you have a blog? Did you have a good or bad experience as an Amish person?
It's great to see the fathers talk so plainly on what religious are.

IT is true that religious life is not for oneself but for Christ but isn't it the 1st person god intends to reach and save, is oneself?
