why would i be a good priest

I have generally decided that I shouldn't talk to you about religion, because I like being your friend and my opinions are so different from yours, and I find it hard to even be respectful about religion much of the time. Anyway, I'm breaking that plan to say that I think you would be desperately unhappy as a priest. The Catholic church would be much the better for having priests like you*, but I don't care about that, I care about you, and you would have to curb or deny so much about yourself that I can only imagine this making you repressed and miserable.

*That isn't to say that the church would be improved by your signing up as a priest and twisting to fit, but that it would be a better church if it could happily accommodate you as you actually are as a priest.

haha. what's up, anthony?

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

anthony i dont know you, apart from the brief time i have been around in ilx and reading the posts you offer to the rest of us.....BUT i do want to say that i think the real question might be " why do i WANT /NOT WANT to become a priest?"
what expectations do you have of this vocation?

anthony i agree with everything martin posted. i find it difficult to imagine you being happy in such a role. whats your take on vows of celibacy for instance?
