Becoming Bishop: Early Priesthood

[@darioveneziano3995]

I belong to the Columbus diocese and I feel so blessed to have him as my Bishop!!! Cannot outdo God in generosity!!!!

This guy's ordination is like a glitch in the liberal matrix. God bless bp Fernandes!

“He was left handed”…😂 I love this new bishop! I envy my classmate father Timothy Hayes! He gets him as his Bishop! These kind of bishops give me so much hope!

Why do you NEED? Define every item that you use. Does it gain you Heaven? If removed?

[@iNdUsTrIaLrOcKeR4U]

The High Altar that our Jesus Christ ascent was CRUCIFICATION. HIS HEART MOST.

[@iNdUsTrIaLrOcKeR4U]

i am Numbers 21:8-9. Define holy.

Disappointed he got rid of Paulists at Ohio State

Imposed celibacy rather than celibacy by choice seems cruel and sterile. I pointed a young man who was considering the priesthood to a biography of Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones by Iain H Murray. Lloyd-Jones was married with children and grandchildren yet gave up medicine for preaching. My young friend is now married happily.

He is too young !! Many priests now days wish to become a bishop, but just a few wish to become a Saint….😞 Power, money, benefits and much more…… But when they die, won’t have any benefit 🔥…..Let’s pray for them🙏🏻

[@Horns2014]

Yes we should pray for all clergy...but your comment implies that you know for sure that he doesn't wish to become a saint? Based on what?

[@planbasic9609]

@@Horns2014 based in this, if you really want to work for Jesus and salvation of souls and want to be a Saint like Jesus you don’t “need to become a bishop, and also what is happening now with a lot of bishops in USA and in the world. I haven’t seen any bishop spending hours in confesión for the salvation of people. I remember some Saints like Felipe Neri. Saint John Bosco, Padre Pío and more… Nowadays priests confess just for one hour or two and once a week and thanks to God a few churches confess everyday four hours and one hour before mass. But just a few of them. And many people go to receive the Eucharist God knows if they went to confession first, it is not enough? Many Catholics ignore the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist… Most of us need a good catequesis and know about our faith… A lot of confusion in the Vatican…

@@planbasic9609 I am 100% in agreement. However, amongst the saints are also holy bishops, cardinals, and popes. They easily didn't have to be a "bishop" but guess what, God still needs holy bishops, cardinals, and popes.

[@Horns2014]

Just because you haven't seen any bishops leading souls to Christ doesn't mean there isn't. Bishops of Tyler, San Francisco, etc are good holy Shepherds that come to mind. I recognize you mena well and I agree with a lot with what you said but don't throw out the baby with the whole bathwater.

@@Horns2014 not really they are too many….. We need a lot of holy priests who go out to preach and teach because we ignore a lot of things of our faith.
