Which religious order would you join? Which order would you pick for DellaCrosse, Scheel, & Fr. Rich?

[@mariediphillipo3388]

For Rich definite Augustinian Ryan a Valid him and Scheel Dominican

[@mariediphillipo3388]

A Dominican for me

[@OdCzapyZestaw]

Servants of Jesus and Mary ("traditional" Jesuits) or Franciscan friars of renoval.

[@barbphillips2132]

A Franciscan or the order of Mother Teresa. I live in a First Nations Native American community. Can you discuss the similarities between Native American spiritually and the philosophy of St Francis?

I have never found an order that is willing to take older women which is a real shame because a lot of us have money, healthcare, and we know we are committed for the rest of our lives. So many of the young women I grew up with that went into religious orders all left after four years. I made it through the military for 30 years I am absolutely positive I could make it in a religious order for the rest of my life and be a real asset to them. However I have not yet found one that would except me because of my age of 63

That's sad because in the past, it was common for widows of a certain age to enter the convent. I agree with you. I'm 76 but I know I wouldn't fit in to communal life. I was an only child and I have had to be strong and take care of myself most of my adult life. Now that my Catholic life is back on track, I am praying for a good, Catholic husband because I am alone and want a companion in life.

I love the Dominicans. I had nothing but positive experiences with them. I wanted to go to a Dominican high school but my mother found it "inconvenient." My first experience was when we traveled to Europe by ship when I was 11. There were a couple of Dominican sisters on board and one of them was a lot of fun. She taught me how to play ping pong! My secondencounter was when I was planning my wedding. My fiancè was a Ukrainian Catholic and we had to have a Byzantine Rite wedding. My parish absolutely refused even while admitting it was Canon Law. But his family was not religious and didn't belong to a Ukrainian parish so my mother, in one of her better moments, said "St. Vincent Ferrer church (NYC) has always been known for their music. Maybe they'll learn the rite and do it. It's a chanted rite, very beautiful. So we went to talk with those dear Dominicans and they were beyond enthusiastic. They learned the four part harmony and sang it beautifully. I was really glad to have such a beautful wedding. Unfortunately, the marriage was less beautiful and was annulled.

My great great Uncle Tom’s first assignment as a newly ordained priest in 1917 was literally to serve in the trenches as a U.S. Army Chaplain. I can only imagine what it would be like for him to give sacraments to the Catholic soldiers before they jumped out of the trench.

Don't feel bad, my dad was a non practicing Massachusetts Irish Catholic and my mom was a practitioner of witchcraft. I don't even know if I've been baptized, I'm just trying to learn before taking that step.

[@user-AMaraj]

@@marciwyrd8905 Even my dad was non-practising Catholic and my mom was Protestant. They mix-married. I was never close to my relatives of dad's side and more close to my relatives of mom's side. And they hate Catholicism. I grew up not actually knowing what catholcism was and believing only Protestant belief. I got baptized as a Protestant. But God had a different plan for me, He showed me the truth. 2014 I fell seriously ill and doctors didn't know the cause of my sickness. They just prescribed me sleeping pills (that too overdosed for my age). I didn't take the pills. Then At night I started seeing visions of Demons coming to attack me and I was praying to God to save me and send his Angels to my defence. I prayed to Saint Michael the Archangel, defend me O dear angel, then I saw Saint Michael and the demon fighting and the Archangel kicked down the demon. Then I saw Jesus appearing (in the form of Divine Mercy image of His, which I didn't know that time), and the ray of Red Light from His Heart was casts on the demon and the demon was burnt down to ashes. Then the ray of Blue Light from His Heart was casts upon me. Then I saw many Saints standing around me. Notable were Mother Mary sitting close to my head on bed and Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Blessed that time) who was praying her Rosary close to my bed and I saw Jean Vianey, Dominic Savio, Francis Xavier and many others who I don't know. Then I saw Jesus coming close to my ears and saying "Arise" and I woke Up and was fully cured. When I woke up to the reality I saw my brothers weeping and my mom and dad around me and others ( neighbours who came to visit me because I was ill) they said that they were scared because I was unconscious, not waking up and not coming to senses and murmuring. I told everyone there about it. Next day my dad took me to our parish (because I desired so and my first time going there)but the parish priest was not there, he was sick and had been hospitalized. He took me to the closest parish to ours but he was also not there. So he took me to another parish pretty far from ours, I was praying please God let me meet the priest today. And the priest was there. I narrated everything to him, he prayed and blessed me and gave me the relic of Mother Teresa's cloth. Henceforth that day I was cured of that unknown sickness. And you know what it will be 8 years now on 20th October for me being Catholic and I am grateful to God.

You guys should do a show specifically on the third orders or lay versions of these. Most people don’t even know about them. Even me I just recently learned about them! I’m so overwhelmed and overjoyed that I can finally be a part of and involved in this. Always wanted to be involved with these orders but everyone thinks you have to be a monastic type or whatever and single to join these. But they invented third orders/or secular lay versions since centuries ago just for people like me. It’s wonderful! Also just learned they brought back the Catholic Knights Templar order! This is awesome we need men and women of God to take a stand and on fire to defend our holy Catholic faith sometimes even physically. In these evil times I see why they brought them back. We are back in a modern day form of the Crusades.

[@tomprovoenzano]

On a practical level the real difference between solemn and simple vows is how poverty is defined and lived out. As a Salesian of Don Bosco I renounce the administration of property but not it's ownership. If I were to inherit money, for instance, It's "mine" but I could not use it without my provincial's permission. Other articles in our rule prohibit us from owning land, cars, or having personal bank accounts, but Don Bosco set the definition of poverty up this way because of the historical circumstances surrounding our founding. Italy's anticlerical government was revoking the citizenship rights of religious, so the constitutions were written to dodge the civil laws while still being in accordance with Church law. Sobering thought: many Salesians I know who may have an inheritance use it to cover their burial costs. Either that or for some project like renovating a chapel or classroom. Bottom line: Chastity is chastity, and obedience is obedience - but poverty is lived out in different ways in different congregations. After ten years of perpetual profession I have the option of making the solemn vow of poverty, but I don't know any Salesian who has.

[@michellescully2507]

Just came across this episode! So fascinating and learnt alot.. thanks guys! Over here in South East Asia (Singapore to be exact), the MEP priests played such a big role in bringing Catholicism over. I have been blown away by their kindness and great love. Confessed to one when I came back to Church after 15 years and was overwhelmed by the love of the Father. Also discovered about the Dominicans and was introduced to Aquinas through their teaching and really drawn to their intellectual charism. Our faith is beautiful in its diversity, complexity and richness!

[@adamzandarski8933]

I love that you guys are all tad guys, but you still offer loving service to the church and support support the pope and that’s a huge inspiration to me right now. Went to church for the first time in 20 years and I prayed sincerely for the first time in my life. I just want to thank you guys for that and I hope all Christians can read the book of Romans and really focus on humbling themselves before the Lord. Thank you so much.

Awesome I’ve been wanting for so long an explanation on this see in my childhood I assisted a parish run by Franciscan Friars we moved out of state so the Parish I went to was Trinitarian (I go to this same parish today and am quite involved) I was in the military for a while and well there was always a Catholic Chaplin on base but except for one of my duty stations that I know he was Jesuit (only know cause he Baptized my son) So I’ve always had the question why so many orders how do they differ? Being involved in church groups I’ve learned a lot but there’s still confusion in my head So you’ll understand why I am soooo looking forward to watching this episode I pray to get some clarity May You Be Blessed 🙏🏼

[@yes2day100]

Jesuits are never popular in their own time. Only in retrospect do people respect the leadership and accomplishment of Jesuits. This is why they have always been 'cannon fodder' as Ryan said. Jesuits bring change because they question sacred cows and ask hard questions. They are stubbornly purist in their theological processes, even if it leads them into unpopular positions that question orthodoxy. If they didn't push the Church forward at a measured pace in order to mold it with modern thought, the Church could have been lost to a series of schisms over the centuries. In 100 years, today's Jesuits will be respected by Catholics; 100 years from now Catholics will be saying, 'those Jesuits from the early 2000's were great, the way they helped the Church walk through great social and political change without losing its core essence, but these Jesuits today - a bunch of trouble makers, because our Church today is perfect and doesn't need correction or change.'

There's a difference between a sister & a nun. A sister owns property, works in a profession like doctor, lawyer or teacher. Mostly lives in a community of other sisters. Nuns live a monastery & never leaves the monastery unless it's a very special reason. Nuns work within the monastery like cooking, singing & maintaining their garden & church. They pray several times throughout the day They usually doing arts & crafts like sewing, tailoring or writing.

And I’ve a long time been a bit of a contemplative, trying to put in order in my mind the spiritual dynamics to set oneself free and how these things make sense and are. A belief, of whatever sort, has been a focus of my life since childhood and hearing of Jesus. In younger adulthood l searched through varied beliefs. After returning to hoping in Jesus, l knew that l wanted to help others, and that beginning with an inspiration to work with special needs. As called, I began working with seniors, then at risk youth, then hiv-aids, then after 13yrs was hired as a music coordinator and 1:1 prevocational teacher for special needs these 11yrs. It’s been a long suffering way with lots of wonderful love, 20yrs. What l have left as an inspiration is to share music before high offices, at least the one, this being the case for almost as long. I’ve learned through many experiences that anything can happen, of what you have or have not been knowledgeable, and God has His hand through all of them whatever is. 🎼✌🏼📖💙⚖️🙏🏼🎶

When I was then a student, I lived in a Catholic Boarding School of the Sisters of Mary then their Order of Sisters are in balance to be happy and strict sometimes because they always said that living life should be in balance. However because of their semi-contemplative life it was just so prolific for they always have the spirituality to serve the least or the poor people like me since then for their additional Vow is the Service for the Poorest of the Poor after the Traditional Evangelical Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. They mean a lot to me, I learnt so much from them about the values of Life and its Sanctity, including its fundmental virtues. I can't thank them more!

When I was in the middle of elementary school I had a chance to go to the local Catholic school. For some reason I chose not to. I don't now why I made this decision. I loved our local church and the Monsignor was such a wonderful, warm man. Even at this time period I was helping behind the scenes as a altar boy. Forty Five years later I no that this was a big mistake because I felt the calling from a early age and never acted on it.

I was educated by Carmelites; I always think of them fondly, even though I find St Theresa of Avila tough going at times.

[@thomasfolio4357]

She was strict, but a funny Nun. When she entered religious life, Carmels were not the religious houses of today. Many wealthy families would send their daughters to Convents, where they would live lives of luxury, wearing find jewelry under their habits, and being served hand and foot by the Sisters who had come from poor homes. St. Theresa reformed the order and brought back the practice of poverty. She also introduced periods of recreation, including dancing within the cloister, so it was not all dower and strict. One of my favorite stories is of her riding on a horse as she was travelling from one Carmel to another, to encourage and check to see that the Sisters were adhering to the reforms she had instituted. She was thrown off the horse into a muddy puddle. The story goes, she looked up to heaven and said to God. "The way you treat your friends, it's a wonder you have any at all."

When I was a child I told my mom I didn’t think I was going to get married, but wanted kids.. (thinking I wanted to be a sister/nun, but didn’t really know anything about any). My mom scoffed and said, why wouldn’t you want to be married. I had a rough, secular, young adulthood.. was a single mom with 2 little kids for 10 years... not very strong in my faith, but a simmering desire. I remarried in a less than great marriage. Still married but wish I’d had more resources to be able to know there was a such thing as discerning religious life.

[@markv1974]

Its not too late. St. Rita of cascia is our parish patron saint. Lots of mothers who went to religious life after their kods became older or were widowed

I was a Capuchin Franciscan for almost 8 years and left when I met my wife. My ministry was working with drug addicts and inner city schools. Though I left, the Charism has stuck with me and will forever!

[@emiliocittadini6451]

Aren't friars required to take solemn vows? Wouldn't that make marriage invalid?

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

@@emiliocittadini6451 you must be dispensed of your vows and there is a difference between temporary and perpetual vows also. I left before Perpetual vows

[@emiliocittadini6451]

Have you considered reentering as a deacon? A permanent deacon, now that you’re married?

[@dhparsons5518]

Brilliant ... great explanations. Love this show. :) I wish you would have mentioned something about some of the problems (scandals?) found inside the Jesuit community right now. That would have been interesting and informative. :)

Our tribe owes a lot to the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) Missionaries. They were the ones who brought Catholicism to our tribe. May God bless them ✝️🙏

[@msanchagrin]

I worked with the Institute of the Incarnate Word Fathers and their religious sisters, the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matera in a parish for many years. Great order! They were founded in Argentina in the 1980s.

[@alimaloney218]

God-willing I will join formation as an aspirant to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (ODCS) in January.

[@ChidiJB]

Hi, how is your formation going? Hope you’re enjoying from the Wellspring of Carmel?

[@markoochyoutcheff6493]

Loved this as a new convert and hungry for info. Is there a book you'd recommen?

[@paulaofchrist]

I am currently discerning religious life and have recently been interesting in contemplative life. Originally I was looking at active orders but after visiting one/speaking with them, I do not think that is where I can serve God best. I know my heart is one for contemplation.

[@jeannortiz8039]

You guys should do a episode on life in the seminary

[@majellaantoniatresvalles560]

Im an admirer of the Franciscans, Jesuits and Benedictines. I got my Vincentian education by way of the Daughters of Charity in high-school. Then with the Dominican Fathers during my undergrad and grad school, now I teach at a college run by the La Sallian brothers. Then I attend mass at a local church run by Capuchins. 😆

[@nghiale5410]

Thanks!

[@TMPSpodcast]

Do Franciscan Friars still say mass at church? When I was a kid my parish had a priest and 3 friars who said masses at different times. The friars were my favorite to serve with as an altar boy because they were such characters. All very different. One was all fire and brimstone. One was soft spoken and sweet. And the third told me to always keep my shoes shined.

[@nancyjanzen5676]

Franciscan priests say Mass not friarsq.

I try (and often fail) to do the examen at least once daily 💭🧠❤️‍🔥 But I pray for our misguided brothers out there.
