The Catholic Priesthood

What you don’t know - YOU SHOULD KNOW

Welcome to our new section on the Land of Arthanius - brought to you by DHT, and with the help of priests and lay leaders who want to inform our Catholic youth and young adult leaders about the Catholic Priesthood. Recently, a well known Catholic Latino Priest was in a major scandal that caused much stir within the Catholic community. We know him as Fr. Alberto Cutie. But he’s not the only Priest in scandal, there are more. It has left many Catholics spiritually dazed and confused. This does not mean that Christ has abandoned His Church, nor is He calling us to “hate on” them or the Priesthood. What He is calling us to do is to understand the Priesthood through the Catholic Church.

Now some of us haven’t a clue of what is a Priest? What is the Sacrament of Holy Orders? Who can be a Priest? What does the Priest do? How does a Priest live? I could go on… Sometimes we assume we know based on the little information we’ve received from Catechism Classes in the past, or we just forgot. There are those who are question the Church; people who want answers without studying - they want simple solution without seeing consequences. We could be part the few million Catholics who have no idea what a Catholic Priest is?

This section will be dedicated to the Priesthood. Personally, it will be part of my dissertation for Fordham, since I have chosen the topic of Vocations within the Latino Community. I hope, with God’s help and the help of so many friends within the Catholic Church that men from every culture represented in New York, will respond to Christ and become a “Priest Forever”

DHT is proud to support our Church on this “Year of the Priest”, which begins Friday, June 19th 2009 (Feast of the Sacred Heart) and ends June 19th 2010.

Let us pray for our Pope, our Bishops, our Priests and Deacons. Let us also pray for so many priests who have fallen into error, scandal and most of all, sin. May they come back to our Lord Jesus who is the High Priest.

St. Athanasius, Pray for us!
