Differences between Religious or Diocesan Priests?

[@RraaNdDoMmgGiiRrlL]

Pray for our diocese. Our bishop died in February. As a teenager, I only met him a few times. But he was the bishop who confirmed me. He had a huge impact on me, though! Rest in peace, Bishop Peter.

[@toslaw9615]

Praying for him.

[@uteme]

Praying for him. You seem like a very thoughtful person, our world needs more people like you.

[@RraaNdDoMmgGiiRrlL]

​@uteme aww 😊

[@TheDeadPirateBob]

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

[@HeinrichsAdventures]

Ive never met ny Bishop.😮

[@albertbenedictsolimanosa5552]

I went through this dilemma in my discernment. In the end, I chose to remain with the Augustinian friars (OSA), and thanks be to God, I was just ordained priest last Saturday. Please pray for me 🙏

[@Michael-ke8on]

Thank you so much, Father.

[@cy7025]

Prayers for you, Father. 🙏

[@ashaide]

Thank you for heeding His call, Father. And may God's Light always shine on your path and keep you safe from the darkness.

[@DANventures514]

I live in a community where the parish is run under the Augustinian Order and there's also a monastery near the church for the Augustinian Nuns of St. Rita of Cascia

My Dad's oldest brother was a Franciscan Priest, served here in NM after Second World War. His name was Father Fray Angelico Chávez and along with his priestly duties , he was also a historian. Having worked on Church history and Genealogy of NM. My uncle was remarkable and he loved serving God, Country and all the folks that he crossed paths with. I absolutely enjoy the knowledge and wisdom that you share with us. Thank you Father Casey. 🙏🙏

[@christ_mark]

That’s so incredible! May God bless you and your family❤️🙏

[@GeorgianPapist514]

Pray for vocations across the world. Our diocese has 1 priest for every thousand parishioners, and most priests are centered in one city. And please pray for our Bishop, Stephen D Parkes. He’s relatively young for a bishop and I think he’s got a very good future ahead of him!

[@cy7025]

Bishop Parkes used to be a priest in our diocese, the Diocese of Orlando. His brother is also a bishop, the Diocese of St. Petersburg. There are several young Bishops in the US, I think the youngest is in his late 40's. You have a wonderful Bishop!

[@deanryanmartin]

6:14 "The Church most certainly needs both. Which one do you feel called to?" This question hits me hard.

[@alphacause]

I have been a Catholic all my life, and I wasn't even aware of the distinction in the priesthood, between diocesan and religious priests. Thank you, Father Casey, for this informative look into the priesthood. Please do more of these types of videos, covering various structural aspects of our Church. This is so fascinating.

[@bernarrcoletta7419]

When I was a child, we had a Capuchin friary in my neighborhood. The friars would walk around the neighborhood in the late afternoon, and we would always find ourselves in the area when they went on their walks. I always felt better after talking to them. We would get in fights, as children do, and they frequently brought peace with them. The Church sold the friary. I really miss the friars. They made life better.

[@edizzle01]

Thank you Fr Casey for the great content as alway. I just made my Profession in March as a 3rd order Franciscan. I feel my spiritual life has improved on this journey.

[@sandranapoli8207]

Thank you Father Casey! Love how you explain everything so clearly.

[@TheRichrocker]

In Austria, many religious priests - especially of the old monasterian orders like the Benedictines - have to combine both, since many monasteries are responsible for a great number of parishes, either incorporated by the order or entrusted to them by the bishops. It is often hard for these priests to balance their vocation to be a monk with the needs of their parishes.

[@navytav]

We were very blessed to have Fr. Joachim Giermek with us after his time as the Minister General of the Conventual Franciscans. He brought great wisdom and had such a gentle spirit. He is sorely missed.

[@JenniMeer]

Thank you Father Casey!! As a recent convert, I had a hard time understanding this concept. You were clear and concise and answered all my questions in under 7 minutes. I’m writing a novel and my third book will have a pious but poor Catholic community and now I understand how to write Father Manuel’s character accurately. Blessings from North Carolina, USA

[@marymckay8283]

This is why I like your channel. You explain facts about our faith and religion. Preaching is important of course but history and background of our faith are important and interesting as well.

[@kentd4762]

Well said, Fr, Casey. Blessings on you and your priestly life. (from a diocesan priest brother)

[@mspaint93]

I know I'm not your intended audience, but I can't thank you more from the bottom of my heart! You've made someone who is confused by these elements, much happier and more confident to engage with my Catholic peers. Intended or not, you've made it easier for people across the glode to be friends. All my love dude.

[@zogalex]

Fascinating discussion, Father. Your tackling questions like this is my favorite of your content!

[@a.j.4317]

I recognize the priest in the photo at 4:22 - he was a parochial vicar in my parish growing up! My uncle is a diocesan priest, while I do communications work for a Franciscan order of Friars. I've learned the differences over the past couple of years, but this is a great explainer video, Fr. Casey!

[@gaius_enceladus]

This was a wonderful video! I had no idea of the differences between diocesan and religious priests - now I know! Many thanks, and may God bless you!

[@jlawrence0181]

There is one other major difference. Diocesan priests can own property. They can participate in social insurance plans like Medicare and social security; religious priests cannot. If a diocesan priest takes a position, he is paid directly like any other citizen. If a religious priest is paid for work, it goes directly to the order. This has serious ramifications should the religious priest leave the order late in his life.

[@CarlosGutierrez-vl7cm]

I grow up with Religious Priests and when I was discerning Priesthood I was immediately inclined towards Religious and yes I am considering Religious Life but not as a priest anymore but as a Lay Religious! Keep praying for me 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@maryturpel8413]

Finally, an explanation I can wrap my head around! Thank you!

[@imperators_8700]

Thank you for this Father Casey, this was a question I had recently as I have been discerning the priesthood

[@dancurran8977]

The Franciscans left our St. Francis parish in Sacramento CA. I miss them but the two diocesan priests that we have had since have been good men. Franciscans were special but the community remains.

Thank you for this video Fr. Casey 🙏🙏

[@DANventures514]

I live in a town under a diocesan priest with the church in the town center, however the neighborhood that I belong is under the parish of a religious order (Order of St. Augustine). Our town has 42 neighborhoods called "barangay". Parishioners living within and near the town center usually attends the mass at the diocesan church. As from the barangay where I belong, I attend the mass at the parish run by the OSA since I live just about 10-15 mins walk from the church. Parishioners of both churches can attend mass either of the two parishes. The OSA Priests can also celebrate mass at the diocesan church when the diocesan priests were not available.

[@DeniceCouture]

WOW that was great. I am so happy to have found your videos.

Thank you Fr Casey for your consistency in teaching the faith. Could you consider making a video about the Brotherhood (Religious Brothers, that is, not ordained ministers) in the Church.

[@generalyousif3640]

Fr Casey, I don’t mind you doing a breakdown on every Hersey known to the church. It should be fun!

[@kooolainebulger8117]

i'd like to have that too, so i can share it concisely

[@anthonysafo473]

Every denomination and the hersey

[@H3H3.podcast]

⁠​⁠@@anthonysafo473I recommend “usefulcharts” family tree of Christian denominations video. It provides an overview of every major Christian denomination and their fundamental beliefs, as well as: the great schism, Eastern, Oriental, and Catholic communions, and the Development of Protestantism. Very interesting stuff!

[@whatsup3270]

It is not always clear what is or isn't a Heresy. Heresy is opposing the Church doctrine. However, some issues typically predicated on conscious maybe judged by some as Heresy when many of us say that is on the individuals conscious and not on our judgement of their actions or their conscious. For example I do not thing Euthanasia is a violation of sanctity of life. And I not so sure sanctity of life is doctrine as much as it is a teaching designed to achieve doctrine. If one practiced euthanasia did they take an innocent life, or did they aid themselves in ending needless suffering. Note also the action is not a teaching and thus is not leading others which is also and important issue. Before anyone retorts please consider a large group claimed to be scholars and Priests signed a letter acclaiming Pope Francis of Heresy.

[@generalyousif3640]

@@whatsup3270 The difference is, The church magisterium Affirms it as a grave evil. So we are obliged to accept it

[@PuppyLuv2504]

Very interesting! Thank you for explaining that :-)

[@InnocentAlaska]

Father Casey , please make videos on eastern Catholic priests ! And the differences and history

[@keithmoritz239]

I attended a High School run by a Benedictine monastery. While the monks would usually be in habits during the regular school day, it wasn’t uncommon to see them in a collar on occasion as well, especially if they were filling in at a parish. It was also pretty common to see them in regular street clothes depending on what their jobs at the monastery or school were.

[@kennethchinweike6346]

great insight Fr Kaycy

[@martha3445]

I had a professor, many years ago, at St Bonaventure University. He told us that the knots on his belt stood for "No money, no honey, and I got a boss."😊

[@susanhsiang8468]

May Holy Spirit be with all of you, God Bless ! 🎉❤🎉

[@theoriginaljohn]

this is great explanation, in my country, the religious priests are called "Monk priests" and they live in monasteries and report to their monastery "president" (for a lack of a better word) while Diocesan priests are called "Parish priests", when they are ordained, they are immediately assigned an altar (parish) to server, they usually live in the parish that they are currently serving and they remain within the boundaries of their Bishop's authority.

[@cy7025]

Hello Fr. Casey! I see our Bishop at the beginning of your video! Bishop Noonan from the Diocese of Orlando.🙂

[@xrisc131]

This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@Scorch1028]

What is the difference between a religious priest and a monk?

[@bikergirl2000]

All of them take vows of poverty chatity and obedience. Priests also recieve the sacrament of Ordination. They take on the additional duties and responsibilities of a priest alongside their duties as a monk.

[@nkanyezihlatshwayo3601]

Well spoken Brother Casey, this video found me today, and I believe I’m hearing the call myself. - well played:)

[@sandracmtz]

My parish is Franciscan and I love all of our friars. I've learned so much about St. Francis' life thanks to our priests.

[@ekhozo6850]

Here in Mexico there is a sort of friendly "rivalry" between the Legionaries of Christ and the Crusaders of Christ the King, two different priestly congregations. Both the legionaries and the crusaders are very active in religious universities, as well as in organising peregrinations, missions, and other activities.

[@omegaXXIV]

Thank you for explaining this, Father. As a neophyte, I didn't get why different priests wore different "uniforms" and didn't get a clear answer online.

[@frankribeiro399]

There are priests consecrated by the bishops under the bishops and priests who belong to an Order or Congregation who live in Community like Abbey, Convent with a Prior.

[@michaelcase8574]

Priests of a religious order are also called Regular Clergy meaning they live according to a Rule such as the Rule of St Benedict the rule of St Agustine etc. The title is seldom used in the US Church.

[@democraticpatriot2657]

Would be interested about the lives of contemplative religious. Do they move about as you describe? Also what are the lines of authority for sisters who serve in a parish?

[@persiamokri5536]

I respect both and we need both. They both are our an example of being a right followers of the Jesus Christ for us. We pray for both and thanks for your faithfulness to our Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for us as a Christian’s.🙏

[@lytsedraak]

We don't have a diocesan priest in our church, but we do have a deacon. It's either the dean who works in several parishes, or a religious priest (I think he belongs to the order of the white friars) who will do the weekly Mass and Consecration of the Eucharist. Both are great men and it's sad the religious priest will be moving to the other side of the country with his order soon.

[@elieenm4391]

We need both

[@JayRedding12_12]

This is awesome. The only thing I'd add is the history of the priesthood. The offices of Episkopos (Bishop), Presbuteros (Priest), and Diakonos (Decon) goes back to the time of the Apostles. The Apostles were the first Episkopos, which in the bible usually gets translated as "overseer" As we see on the beginning of Acts chapter 6 this is how Bishops were Ordained. And we see through documented history that this is how all Bishops have been Ordained for over 2000 years by another Bishop. So every Bishop in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches are successors of the Apostles. As far as the history of the Franciscan Order, Fr. Casey in this video would be a much better person to explain. As much as I'd like to be a Secular Franciscan, I'm currently not available on Tuesday evenings to attend the Franciscan meetings.

[@mkrleza]

Thank you so much. Could you explain the difference between the "order" (like Franciscans) and the "Company", the Jesuits, to be specific? Thanks again and God bless!

[@pmgomez]

Thanks for this Fr Casey! The photo in 0:03 might be confusing as Jesuits, which is a religious order, wear that attire as well. :)

[@sFLOCKY]

i always thought the black white collar was just modern, like ties or dress suilts lol learnt something today

[@papanerd3742]

From these comments, I feel like I am the only one who doesn't understand. Where do religious priests get their authority from? How do you become an ordained priest, if not from a bishop?

[@iamian9322]

during the Spanish rule in the Philippines, friars made sure to seize power over the parishes/dioceses against secular/diocesan priests, even having some of them executed. :) they also made sure the locals know they were not to be messed with and that the they know their place as second-rate citizens and peasants. even the Spanish government cannot do anything about them.

[@alexp2915]

Thanks for this, Father Casey! Could you also please talk about how much say religious priests and diocesan priests have in where they’re assigned? Particularly in terms of someone who’s maybe being called to religious life, but wants to stay nearby their elderly parents. Also, if you’re immune compromised, can you ask to be assigned somewhere lower risk, germ-wise? And can any type of priest bring their pet, like a cat, with them (to where they’d be living)? I hope those aren’t stupid questions 😅

[@HB-iq6bl]

Thx for info

[@E-pistol]

Have you read Saint Anthony's "Sermons for Sundays and Festivals"?

[@charlesrobertson8767]

How does one go about becoming a religious priest

[@Hewhoyettoknowhimself]

But in reality, the relationship is often not as ideal as shown here. In my home parish, the Diocesan and religious orders play tug of war to control "richer" parishes, in order to fulfill their respective income. Not as bad as in Medjugorje, but I really hope and pray that they can resolve it amicably...

[@Noone-rt6pw]

You might appreciate Forest Gardening. Kind of a Johnnie Appleseed, but planting of fruit, nut trees, vines and plants that provide food throughout the seasons, even medicinal plants. Which it is beneficial should something happen. If not, it can be their for the future, which fowl and animal both would like as well.

[@stephanusandi9098]

In my simple understanding, the religious priest is the one whom design and build the house. While the diocese priest is the one whom keep maintaining the house. Both have different roles, but both are needed to keep the house is still in good condition.

[@hewhoshallpreach]

How do priests determine to which type of priesthood they are called? Is there a discernment process?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Generally it's from personal relationships with priests they know. You can also take online quizzes to see which charism fits you best.

[@RraaNdDoMmgGiiRrlL]

​@BreakingInTheHabit Father Casey, I know this doesn't matter, but could you re heart my comment about the bishop? Please? Anyway, I love your videos and pray for you every day. ❤
