Maybe he's a former alcoholic? Did you actually ask him why he hates it?

I read former Catholic

But that's basically the same

amiright

Everyone "drinks with moderation" until they don't

I have lost count of howmany people defended themselves, talking about how they are so responsible, only to see them drunk later the moment they have a free supply of drinks

The "but I'm not drunk" becomes "I'm not drunk yet because I can't"

I gues that is true, but also for so many other things in live

"I'm chaste"
untill provided with a big tiddy goth gf, that is

^^ this

Accurate

Come to think of it, that's how most drug addicts start.
"It's just weeeeed, its not a DrUg"

Chastity is a motherfucker when you're suddenly attractive.

Don't get me wrong, it's important

But...

Yeah, truly the biggest test I've had so far.

Starts with moderation on all levels

Including what comes out of your mouth...

Yes, yes, I apologise.

No hard feelings. Saying it mostly for your benefit 😃

You're not wrong, tbf.

But can definitly relate to what you are saying

I've found heading to Mass and meeting churchy people has helped me to stop swearing irl.

I mainly save that for /rel/, now. 😏

Son, i'm a future priest lmao

Oh.

Bol<Redacted>

Consider that churchy? haha

well it's far, far away. I yet have to enter seminary. My bishop has agreed. Now to convince the head of said seminary to let me in

Is Seminary a general thing or does every order have its own?

Religious orders have their own internal seminaries so to speak.

I think there are both general seminaries as well as specific places for orders

Exactly what Weazel is saying yeah

Interesting.

You have to keep it simple two styles or types of seminaries: secular (read worldly) ones (under the heading of a diocese) and religious ones (part of a Catholic religious order) like canons regular, monastics, mendicant orders and sometimes even clerics regular.

Becoming is optional for a lot of male religious (monastic and mendicant traditions) but necessary for canons regular or clerics regular as they are all priests living together under a rule (like for example the rule of St. Augustine). An example of clerics regular are the Jesuits.

"Becoming" refering to....?

I'm guessing based on context, "part of an order"

@Based Chav Some orders have members that are part of the order but are not clerics. The orders contain both clerics and brothers who are monks but not clerics (example is the Benedictine Order). While other orders like canons regular and clerics regular all become priests as they are priestly orders joined together by a vow of poverty and to follow a specific rule.

oh.

Does anyone want to organize a book burning?
