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.

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!

[@kentd4762]

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

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.

Thank you for this wonderful video. You explain difficult concepts very clearly.

[@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.

[@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.

[@kennethchinweike6346]

great insight Fr Kaycy

[@markkristynichols845]

[@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!

[@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.

[@HB-iq6bl]

Thx for info

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@jamesmauckmd8931]

Fr. Casey, I’ve been told that an abbot has the same ecclesiastical position as a bishop and may administer certain sacraments reserved for a bishop, such as confirmation outside of giving a new convert the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil in a parish and ordination of priests and deacons. He may also wear the miter and carry the shepherd’s crook at church ceremonies or Mass. do provincials of orders also have this ecclesiastical position?

[@TheyHurry]

Hi Father Casey, can you make a video on the early church fathers?

[@elladumaplin6922]

Father Casey,I have been a devout Catholic ALL my life and I am so very confused now. So,hierarchy wise,there is a Bishop,who is an ordained priest,and on the other,there is Provincial who you say,may or may not be ordained? So,may or may not be a priest? The picture you showed (which I took to be the Provincial,wore a collar). Please, please help me understand. Will wait for your reply and thank you Father Casey.

[@mattd2569]

I like your explanation, can you do the difference between a Catholic Church and Catholic Mission Church?

[@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.

[@ashaide]

I've always wondered why one of our more... (in)famous professor-priests at the Ateneo de Manila, the Jesuit's flagship uni in the Philippines, could be so open about butting heads with the Provincial. I always thought Provincials were, like, top of the heap kind of thing. As Fr. Casey said, it's kind of like the guy got, er... well, not exactly voluntold, I guess, to be the overseer for their brothers for a time, haha, but something like that? Thank you for the clear-up, Fr. Casey.

[@fosterparent7477]

Fr Casey, what do you consider preists that wear only the Cassock?

[@CE24164]

I think priests look wonderful in them!

[@TheRedComyn]

Great video! I was called to the stability of the secular priesthood. BTW, I've never worn a clergy shirt and suit. I've always worn a cassock in my 34 years of priesthood.

[@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?

[@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!

[@dasFLOCKY]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@user-so3gw3yd3t]

❤ From the holy land is was very good video

[@Chris-Pringle]

one important thing to note is that not all white collar priests are catholic. so be careful out there. the church of England is one example although I've seen grey attire with white collar as well.

[@OjiOtaku]

Also, most Lutheran ministers wear a collar, as do many unitarian ministers.

[@maryhildreth754]

Many secular wedding officiants wear a collar. My daughter married a protestant boy, where they live in Vegas,and they went to one of those chapels. Their wedding officiants was a lady who wore a collar. I'm also a wedding officiant, but in Alabama. I don't wear a collar as I can't be ordained in my own religion (I am Catholic and a lady) but I am a notary, which is what is required in Alabama. I did get "ordained" by the Universal Life Church,by filling out a form online, before the notary requirement, so I could marry someone I know who wanted a secular wedding. I wore a pretty pink skirt suit, and I never try to look like a religious official, because I'm not. That lady in Vegas wasn't either, she was "ordained" from the same online form as me. I guess she just thought of it differently, but she wore a suit just like every parish priest I've ever seen (except Fr Brennan who wore a cassock ) Edit: Calvin, on The Lotus Eaters podcast, is a priest in the Old Catholic Church in England and wears a white tan collar like regular Catholic priests.

[@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 😅

[@emmanuelobelogu9724]

Thank you for this video Father. Quick question, why are there religious priests who are Bishops? I know of a priest of the OFM Cap. Who is a Bishop.

[@tafazziReadChannelDescription]

When the church needs a new Bishop, a priest is chosen and he is ordained a Bishop. Bishops still do thier job as priests, celebrating the mass, but they also have new duties they have to attend to.

[@Jasminestealth1]

wow thank you for that... i am not a Catholic.. but i am a Christian from the outside... its informative.. of things such as these... Why did you go the route you did?
