Real Friar Answers Questions about the Vows 

It’s funny because it’s true 😂

Catholic priests in some countries are very wealthy

Where I live, Catholic priests drive BMW and Tesla.... 😅

Was this a dig at prosperity preachers?

He obviously never saw a typical polish priest - richer than God himself 😖😒

😂😂

Lol that young Pope must had to be swimming In more p Word than tweety.

I don't think he intended that as a flex, and would likely say so.

You rang?

Ew, take a shower. Jk

lil’ pound cake!!

Don't you already have a name that swallows?

It's never too late to start living the humble Catholic life.

@@RachelDeRosier010894 well, in catholic Spain not every catholic its like this man either. But I know what you mean

As another Protestant I 💯 agree

It's just because evangelical prosperity is not the real gospel. Salvation does not come with money, and we should put all of these preachers that live like rock stars in doubt. I do not think they are christian, actually.

Yes. They’re Satan on earth. Making tons of money from people’s faith and made up church places.

Pro tip: Women love men who treat them as people. I've had more propositions as a married man who wasn't looking than I ever got when I was single & pursuing. It's flattering, but I know that it's only the confidence I receive from being well-loved that is drawing that attraction.

Not living like a person. Silly idea

An opportunity to get high. Yah know for Jesus.

As an atheist I agree. Though I don’t think it’s really as much of a sacrifice as it seems. he seems happy. Clearly he’s getting something out of it that to him is at least close in value to what he gave up. And it really does kind of comport with our best scientific understanding of what leads to happiness and life satisfaction. Possessions and wealth don’t lead to much happiness. Inability to feed yourself leads to unhappiness but after you are meeting your basic needs more money doesn’t help. What really helps is developing meaningful connections to others, helping others, a sense of purpose, and feeling proud of the life you're leading. Each of which his life gives him in abundance.

Jesus loves you bro✝️❤️

@@colwem wow this is perfectly worded. it may seem crazy to someone like me, but for him, it seems that what he gave up is more than worth it for the life he lives now.

@@lukesoliz6603 thank you 🙏

@@sergiowinter5383 nothing is pure

Same.

As a former Catholic, I've opened my eyes and mind to the church at large. And out of the many religious orders, it's the Franciscan Friars I still respect and believe are closest to the real message.

I went to a Jesuit High School. Someone toured a Jesuit residence (not the one where I went to high school) and they exclaimed, "If this is poverty, I'd love to see chastity!"

@@econdude3811 I have visited Worth Abbey in England and wondered how having imposing buildings, extensive grounds and running a private school is compatible with the spirit of poverty.

For real, the dedication to faith is impressive, I hope I can find a calling like that

Actually the color is wrong they were not aloud to dye the fabric of there clothes as that was considered excess.

Hmmmm when I went to St. Francis' Parish in Assisi, st francis actually wore sack cloth.

The Church remains the same, so does the friar, nun and priest attires

I've got 386 videos... ;-)

To be fair the majority of priests, religious and nuns can make you feel that way.

@@BreakingInTheHabit Man I just encountered your channel. I am an ex-evangelical and still not sure what I believe in, but thanks for your authenticity. I still have a strong connection to the Christian faith and its followers. :)

@@rebeccaanderson5626 what’s his username? 😂

His Upon Friar Review channel has videos of him and another friar reacting to Christian memes from Reddit. Nobody gets through Reddit unscathed.

Seeing young friars and nuns changed my output about something I saw as old and dying.

HE ISNT BALD ON TOP, EEEEEEEK

@@ink3539 I mean these orders or nuns and monks are probably dying, but I see in what kind of dignity these people live their lives. They are free of many of the things that we hassle with, like money, romantic relationships and things we want to own. It‘s really beautiful to see how a life of simplicity looks like.

@@ThaMobstarr Definitely, I'm kind of always jealous of people who managed to found their way ! I shouldn't and rather try and find my own but this kind of serenity and inner peace is definitely something I envy.

@@ink3539 I would see it differently. You can appreciate and be inspired! As long as you continue to find your own way, you can be happy with yourself. I think the process of becoming or achieving something is fullfilling in its own.

I have a feeling there are a lot of women, men, and maybe some other species all around the world that regret it after seeing his videos.

I’m really glad someone who is seen as physically attractive chose to work on a life of spiritual beauty as well. A lot of pretty people have ugly souls.

Well said brotha 🙌

here in our country (philippines) a lot/most of our catholic priest are living their best lives with tons of car, some have even luxury cars and mansion!! some of them are literally millionaires hmmmm.

As shady as it is, is a fact and a spiky one, to the point that believers act defensive when pointed out this

@@monya0081 because there are different orders and some let their priests have stuff. The priest of my church does drive a real nice car, but in the end, a car is literally the only thing they can buy and not leave behind for the community afterwards, so anyways

@@monya0081 I'm from the Philippines and I've never seen a local priest ever be rich. Unless... You're an Iglesia ni Cristo pastor.

Because a majority of people will suddenly turn to Catholicism in the future?

I hope so. We need more genuinely wholesome famous people. None of that fake 'i luv jezus' stuff either.

@@jenro7 what makes you think that

I feel same. He will be know all through earthly time.

Got a ministration but can't voice it here. He will sure be known for good because of ..............to God's glory alone!

So he broke his vows and his love of God was not strong enough. But nice story about your family 👍🏻

@@gbjanuary he was actually one of the founders of an organisation known as boys town in South Africa. He was able to aquire houses around the country where orphaned children could have a safe place to grow up. He may have left the church, but he was a devout Catholic who helped so many people and loved so many people. In my books, his love for God was way stronger.

@@kristenhoneywill2130 yes I agree but according to video he would have stayed being priest devoted to God if his love was that strong and his love for your grandmother was stronger so he broke his vows for her.

It's probably why they make them wear those hideous star wars potato sacks because him in those priest robes would just be...oof.

Is he?👀

@@mayokhomedi4482 Yes he is

I don’t think he’s Christian, maybe more catholic?

Bad news for you. Now you have to give up all your possessions and become a monk. And no honey either. Unless you share this video with 12 friends or something.

Its our calling dudes

It is God talking to you.

thats naive not sincere

No, we just channel, or TRY to channel that energy into helping others. I clean at a Christian nursing school, for example, THEY pay my needs. I have never driven a car in my life, but I have a bicycle. I use public tranportation, when necessary. It needs to be coordinated, according to when I need to be at this or that place, but it is not a impossible. I have lived a life of chastety for 24 years, and I just have so much PEACE. And freedom! No break-up dramas, no crazy phone bills, no sleepless nights because of crying kids. 😄 But: LOTS of time helping the homeless, the old and the likes, sometimes even councelling younger folks. But the best is the purpose. We choose to live like this, to create a center of the divine purpose: Serving God and trying to be a humble, hard-working, loving Christian under the guidance of The Lord. Make sense? 👋😀 ✝️🕯🌐💒🎁 🍞🐟 🦁🐑 🥰 🌹☘

@@Ujuani68 I see the value. There is the other side. God called down Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth. He also gave Eve to Adam because he knew that men and women were meant to be with each other. We are cut out like puzzle pieces and we may have our growing problems...especially in this new world that is rejecting traditional values and families, but we were made for each other and I’m not sure if anyone is supposed to oppose that. I see your point though. You made some great points I just think we can help others WITH our spouses too.

I think thats something that is beautiful about humanity; there are some of us called to romantic love and families, and some that are called to help humanity. Both require sacrifice: having a family sacrifices personal freedoms for the sake of caring for your family, and those called to be alone sacrifice personal freedoms in order to care for society and community. Neither is less or more

@@carelsby Exactly!🎉👍🙆‍♂️ And the GIFTS, I receive, are what gives it all meaning. When we give food and clothes to the poor and needing, or helping old people, who are lonely and sad, that is when I feel so grateful, that I am available, the way I am. God bless each and every one of you. 😊❤👋

If your spouse has a disability would you remain faithful or find someone else?

I agree with Jeanette! Everything on the internet is so loud and confused. Its so nice to listen to a calm voice amongst all the chaos.

Word

not within marriage no it's not. But it's within restraint and limits for good reason.

That's a belief. Some have the belief that sexuality is sinful. Others believe it's a requirement for spirituality. Yay belief systems!

Sexuality is sinful, deliciously sinful!

Half the things he says dont make any sense According to him every kid in the world is suffering from poverty, because they own no items or make any money or get food. Itss their parents money food and items they are borrowing. The kis themselves are poor Lol

Well, the way I see it nothing is sinful because sin itself doesn't exist. But from the perspective of a religious guy I guess it makes sense.

Sorry to be mosey haha. You don’t have to answer this question if you’re not comfortable but why don’t you do Christianity anymore?

@@tumblingqueen2770 very bad experiences. I had a guy nearly assault me and scream at me in public at church. I can't stand the gay bashing. I also don't appreciate when I ask for help, offer to pay for said help, and only get I'll pray for you as a response. I was done after that.

@@FeatherstoneApothecary continue down the path of Christ, he loves you. There will always be hardship and toils in life, but God will get you through them all.

totally agree!! i am completely open to and love learning about new ideas, religions, cultures etc but i no longer choose to associate with the church. you don’t need religion to be a good person but it does help some people on their journies in life, as long as we don’t judge each other for it and spread love and kindness regardless. sending much love to you!!

Look into the traditional latin mass in the remnant Catholic Church. The evangelical church will scare away anybody. They do not have the fullness of truth.

Are u a jew?

God bless you too

It's a waste of a life tbh

How can Jesus loved a woman only in thoughts or mind when He Already plan to Spiritual marry us ALL before we exist. He already plan us to marry us ALL before he is born through Virgin Mary. You see in old testament and new testament he already foretold his plans to the Prophets in old testament you can read Isaiah 54: 5-10, Jeremiah 2:1-3, Hosea 11: 1-9, Read song of songs, Even Jesus said he is the Bridegroom of All mankind Read Matthew 9: 15, Ephesians 5: 21. He for told his Prophets that he wants to marry his Spiritual Bride the Church ALL of us. Readings of Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah ,songs of songs, New testament s are all dedicated to His Spiritual Bride the Church. He Already plan us to marry us long before he created us. So if Jesus had a feelings of a woman in thoughts or mind he committed Adultery in his mind which totally contradict his teachings about don't look at a woman Lustfully for you already committed Adultery. So NO, he has NO feelings falling in love a woman only thoughts or mind for he already loved us before we exist, he already plan us to marry us ALL before he is born through Virgin Mary.

@@lavander961 I would like to add something so that others arent led astray. In Catholic teaching, it is not sinful or lustful to think that a man or woman is beautiful. It becomes sinful when you see them as simply an object of pleasure. See (CCC) paragraph 2351. Due to the incarnation, God became man, and Jesus is fully man and fully God. Becuase he is fully man, he experienced the emotions of humanity. John 11:35 states that Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus. In Luke 22:44 Jesus is in agony over the thought of his passion and asks the Father to let the cup pass from him if it is His will. Sorrow and fear are human experiences that aren't intrinscally evil, and so is attraction. Therefore, it is possible that at some point during his life, Jesus felt attracted to a woman. However, since Jesus is sinless, he would not have veiwed her as a object of pleasure but as a beloved daughter of the Father. God Bless!

@@keaganwalker1539 Yes he feel attracted in SPIRITUAL sense to his Beautiful Bride The CHURCH ALL of US. You already know that the CHURCH is his SPIRITUAL BRIDE that means ALL of us is Bride. Yes indeed the CHURCH is Beautiful of all since Mother Mary is the Queen of Church and all of her children. That's why Song of songs Hosea is dedicated to Mary and ALL of us.

@@keaganwalker1539 How can Jesus loved a woman only in thoughts or mind when He Already plan to Spiritual marry us ALL before we exist.

As Jesus said: dont take heed of the things you need, take heed of heaven, then the things you need will come after and then some. In other words but your faith above your life and you shall be richly rewarded by the Lord.

You don’t need Jesus to not be a greedy prick if you have any form of empathy but sadly most people have to be indoctrinated into religion to be less power hungry because of the use of cognitive dissonance which is an extremely powerful tool when it comes to manipulating people into thinking the way you want them to.

@@catheriney6209 Jesus loves you. Dont ever forget that he dies for all of us so we could spend eternity with him in heaven.

@@catheriney6209 I'm not religious, but I don't think that every single person who is religious has been brainwashed. People seek religion for many reasons, and it's arrogant and disrespectful to group all of those who do into one negative category. When you do that, you don't look any better than or different from anyone else who does that regardless of their beliefs. Not every religious person believes that they're only good because of their fear of a bad afterlife, and not every non-religious person has the willpower and capacity to be a good person on their own.

@@danielthompson6207 I said none of those things as well as used the word most not all so really it’s up to how you read it.

I'm so disgusted when I see these megachurch preachers. You don't know the first thing about poverty. How can you preach the word of God while wearing your thousand dollar suits, driving your fancy cars, and snatching the money right out of people's pockets.

Same. And I thoroughly enjoyed this

Glad I am not the only pagan watching this after if was, for some weird reason, recommended. It might be due to your research that it showed up.

I believe we are far more interconnected than we give ourselves credit for.... all of us striving to find meaning/purpose beyond the physical realm.

@Acroselorator it comes from the Latin word paganus or patriam, meaning country. However it basicly is an umbrella term for anyone who does not follow the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Most frequently it means anyone who follows one of the natural Indo-European folk religions. To dumb it way down: We who call ourselves Pagans believe in Odin, Thor, Zeus, Iupiter, or the Dagda than and the respective pantheons of those Gods more than we do in Yaweh, Yeshua, or Allah. which is what makes it so weird this video showed up for myself and the original commenter.

@Acroselorator that would be a drastic oversimplification...but yes.

🤣

Lolz

Ooh shots fired and then return fire! Haha

yes, it’s like children disclosing their age before commenting “I’m fourteen, *but* “

To be fair it is relevant in a video like this

Don't ever let the flaws of a priest to keep you away from the Eucharist. It's not about the priest, and it's not about you. It's about Jesus Christ. Go back to Mass.

@@deaconbilcarter5210 thank you for responding. JTLYK, I am one of those girls who went knocking on the rectory door the week after First Communion to sign up to be an altar boy, only to be laughed at by the priest and told to go home and help my mom with the laundry. I believe in God, and you're right, it's all about Jesus. So I will say the Divine Office by myself and leave Mass for those whom it feeds. I really am grateful to have heard from you and I wish you well. Pax et bonum.

@@cherylcrozier-garcia8862 The Mass feeds us all, Cheryl. No priest or bishop or even the pope should stand between you and the promise made to you by Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, some priests (and I presume deacons) do not realize how hurtful their words can be. On behalf of that priest, I would like to apologize to you. Pick a new parish and re-join the mystical Body of Christ in the Mass. That's where we belong as Catholics. And thank you for your kind wishes. You are in my prayers, as well.

@@deaconbilcarter5210 Thank you for your apology, which I am happy to accept and gobsmacked to hear. Please understand: I know the catechism and the theology, and I believe most of it, including transubstantiation. But when Ive attended Mass, I get nothing. The Bible lessons are good and once in a blue moon there's a homily that isn't a waste of time and oxygen, but for me, the rest of the liturgy, no. I'm not trying to offend, but I don't even find it compelling as performance art. I prefer to support the faithful by not bringing my negativity into their space. I respect what I was taught and don't want to ruin anyone's sense of belonging, but I don't share it.

The search for wisdom and truth are very known things, that's what faith is about.

@@sergiowinter5383 I thought we called it science.

@@fartyfat6539 science is for developing new things and increase your inteligence. Inteligence is the knowledge of the things around you, wisdom is the knowledge of how should you live your life.

It’s a very strong teaching in the Catholic Church that faith and reason must always compatible. Albert Einstein even said that “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

@@fartyfat6539 Science has always been promoted by the Catholic Church. It is in no way incompatible with faith. Catholics believe that science explains the world, and thus gives us a better knowledge of the Creator. That is why the Church has always been very pro-science. What the Church rejects is "scientism", or the belief that all things can be explained by science. The irony is, that the very statement "All things can be proven by science" is inherently a philosophical statement, which cannot be proven by science. The Church maintains that there are truths in things that science cannot offer an explanation on.
