I'm predicting that as well, but I won't be surprised if they change as the episodes go by.

Steve was sure a hottie in his fraternity days. :p

INDEED! :D I wonder what he was like at UVA? Mr. Party-Guy?

and people, it is
C-E-L-I-B-A-T-E, not celebate.

That is all. MWAH!

I kind of had a feeling that Mike wasn't going to pursue the priesthood as I set my TiVo for tonight's episodes. As I scrolled to make sure I wasn't recording the same things, I noticed that the info for the second episode only included Dan, Steve, and Joe.

It's so :) to see that random acts of kindness still happens today...and I'm not even done watching the third episode yet.

Anyone know how long this series will last and how many episodes there are?

That is indeed what historically led to the requirement of the celibate priesthood in the Western Church. I think that the more spiritual reasons are understood as being the reasons for maintaining the requirement, since the celibate priesthood is understood as a practice that the Church can modify or do away with.

5, I believe.

question: can someone still become a priest if they had sex before?

i think in the first episode, dan said he had all sorts of sex but not intercorse. but i guess that doesnt count.

Ummm, yeah. Celibate doesn't mean virgin. It just means "from here on out, no sex."

Awww, I thought it was like the Cool and the Gang song: Celebate good times - come on!!!!! :D

I didn't realize that it was on Monday...anyone wanna give a little recap? It ends on Sunday, apparently.

So Steve was the only one that decided to go into the seminary. Mike is an elementary school teacher and is still with his girlfriend, Joe works at John Carroll University as a lay minister, and Dan went back to college, is a youth minister, and is still with his girlfriend too.

They showed Steve in seminary school and it seemed like he was really happy...all the guys looked really happy with their choices.

You know, what I don't understand is why they didn't mention that married men in the Catholic faith can become Deacons.

I was also told while I was going through my RCIA program that one of the reasons that priests are not married is because for a married man, his first priority should be to his family and if he had to "worry" (I use the term loosely) about a congregation and all the priestly duties then his first duty (to his wife and family) would fall by the wayside. It makes sense to me, but I don't necessarily agree with it.

Anyhow, this seemed to be a good show. I liked that guy Steve...I wish him much luck in his journey, it's not easy to become a priest.

i got 1 out of 2 right, lol. my other guess was dan.

yeah i dont think i could go through that. 1) i am not catholic 2) i probably couldnt keep myself from sinning left and right, lol
