I wish they'd do it more often, it's so hard to find a Tridentine Mass nowadays...

No, traditions says that Peter was married.

Wasn't saying that. Was saying that tradition would be your source for saying that Peter was celibate.

It is by choice for all Catholics, whether they are clergy or not.

That choice is really not a choice. If you want to serve as a Priest you can't get married right?

I haven't heard a Mass said in Latin since my early days of being a RC altar boy back in the '60s

Tridentine Mass HELP!?

OP

Hello, I've Off To My 3rd? Tridentine Mass Now, And The Church Is So Big I Cannot Hear The Priest Unless He's Singing, And That's Only Just. Also I Don't See Anyone Else Reply, I See Them Saying Rosaries And Looking At Their Missals, But How Do They Know How To Follow?! What Am I Supposed To Do During Mass?
In Christ,
Cam!
Happy 2011!

O Yeah, He had gone to all those semeteries where they never open a Bible and study it. They just study what someone else said about it, who had been to the same Semeteries and studied what someone else had said about the Bible, who had gone to the same Semeteries and............

Well you know.

1.- It is Seminary, just in case you are not throwing an easy pun.

2.- I attended one for two years.

3.- I was required to study my Bible daily.

4.- Some of the guys whom I read books from included the likes of Calvinus and Luther.

Question concerning seminaries

quote OP:

Hi, I was wondering what exactly do you learn when you attend a seminary. Is there a pre-requisite for getting into one? Such as Greek, or Hebrew? Bible exposition is something I am very interested in and it seems seminary is the way to go.

PS - I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where to post it.

It's true, that is the evolution of the word.

Are you saying that only married men can be elders? The injunction is that they be the husband of only one wife (not many, not having mistresses), not that they MUST be married. Paul elsewhere encourages people to be celibate as he was.

No, I am not saying that only married men are to be elders....but the bible does however.

1 Timothy 3:1-7
This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop than MUST BE blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, or good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he falls into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he falls into reproach and the snare of the devil.

I honestly, don't understand how you can say that the qualification is that they should have a wife but then say that it is not a "must". It's a qualification, there are no exempts in place. And Paul encouraged those who are to be celibate to stay such, but for those who cannot, he says it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

As for Paul encouraging those who are to be celibate, well: Let's turn to the scriptures and see what it says:

1 Corinthians 7:6-9
Now I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift form God, one in this manner and another in that. but I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

The question was arisen to Christ as well:
This verse really starts in verses 1 but I'm going to skip down to 10-12 because it asks the question, directly.

Matthew 19:10-12
His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry." But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. he who is able to accept it, let him accept it.

In both cases of what Paul says and what Christ says, never are those eunuchs "apart" of the body and delegated to be part of a Priesthood. They simply lived their Christian life for Christ in the way that He have asked without marriage. They were not considered Priest, it was only their relationship lifestyle that was different from the other Christians who were married.

Prerequisites vary from country to country and bishop to bishop.

Generally, you have to live in the seminary and study in some School of Theology for no less than 6 years. The courses vary from school to school, but they include some solid background in Philosophy, some History, a bit of art, Latin and Greek, perhaps Hebrew, Bible Studies and Theology proper. Priests candidates are usually further instructed, attend Mass daily and spend a lot of time in varied forms of prayer, which include several forms of Lectio Divina (studying the Bible).

It's a pretty intense experience.
