“Within the Catholic Church, there are two types of priests: religious order priests and diocesan priests. A diocese is a group of parishes, or communities, overseen by a bishop. Religious order priests belong to a particular religious order within Catholicism, such as the Franciscans, Dominicans and Jesuits." www.brescia.edu
Father Sean discusses sexual orientation and the requirements on becoming a priest. We discussed the book, Good Bye, Good Men by Michael Rose. (Available on Amazon, https://a.co/d/0AAYHWX) (Quote is used as a reference point of discussion)
“Michael Rose discusses the causes of the chronic priest shortage, including the misuse of psychological screening and what appears to be blatant discrimination against the kind of young men who were once considered ideal candidates for the vocation.”
Father Sean discussed his thoughts on the proposed alternate catechism for youth who identify as Homosexual who want to practice the Catholic Faith. (Quote is used as a reference point of discussion.)
"According to the National Catholic Register (July 2017) Father James Martin also known as the “LGBTQAI + priest” in certain publications proposed an alternate catechism for those youth who are homosexuals that want to practice the Catholic Faith."
