When you go out on personal business, do you wear you collar? Do you think people treat you differently because of it?
Depends on what all I'm doing that day. If I'm on church business, I always have it on, but if I'm just running to the store for milk I may have on jeans and a tshirt. Many times if I'm doing "church stuff" at some point during the day, I'll just wear my clerics all day rather than changing back and forth.Definitely. I do both-- depending on what it is.
Have you ever gone somewhere wearing jeans and a Tshirt, (and it's the first time you've been there) and then gone back the 2nd or 3rd time wearing your collar, and experienced the "I-didn't-know-you-were-a-priest!" reaction?
I'm assuming that when you wear jeans and a Tshirt, that you DON'T make a public announcement, giving everyone notice!
No I haven't seen the movie...Have you watched the movie 'Amanda'? During part of it (not the main story), a horse goes into the Priest's side of the confessional box while a little boy is talking to God, and listens in...hehe...
But yes, it's a very good movie - very moving.
How old do you have to be before you go along to confession?
It's been a while since you asked this... but, yes, if you're still interested feel free to ask whatever questions you may have.Father may I ask a question? About religion in general?
It sounds like there are a lot of different issues here...Hi, I Am In A Bad Marriage And Prior To Going In The Marriage, I Was Told That We Were "unequally Yolked", But Love And Youth Blinded My Vision. Does God Ever Change Or Fix People To Make Them Equally Yolked? As Far As Infidelity Goes?

I've had those kind of reactions both ways. Parishioners who are used to only seeing me in clerics usually do a double take the first time they see me in jeans or a tshirt (or even better in shorts, tshirt and sandals on a church trip to Busch Gardens). Sometimes I run into people I know in Walmart or whatever and they don't even recognize me in street clothes.
Then there are those like my next door neighbor, who usually sees me working in the yard etc. He had lived next door for a couple of years before it finally sunk in that I am a priest. When it did, he told me "I knew that you were always doing all this ministry stuff, inviting me to church and all... but you're actually a priest!"
The word "priest" is a transliteration into English (via Latin) of the word "presbuteros"... which you will find in your Bible translated as either "elder" or "presbyter", depending on which translation you use.Hi! Is a priest different then a pastor?
No... I've never done drugs.have you done drugs before? visions.. not good bad head signs,
Hey everyone!
I haven't been over in this part of the forum very often, but thought this may be a good chance to get to know some of the folks here.
So... feel free to ask any questions you may have... or just chat about the weather or what's for lunch.
Blessings!
If you wanted to go to confession you would be welcomed...I have always wondered if a non-Catholic like me wanted to confess to a priest what would happen?
I'm not certain where it came from originally....I like your Avatar....what is that from?
LOL...Have you ever accidentally laughed during a confession?
Yes, providing the person is a baptized Christian.May you pronounce absolution to a non-Catholic?
