Brother, I am a devout Catholic, I didn't say a priest didn't write any for me, but the one they requested must come from your parish priest, I mean your present parish priest, so we did by getting one from our parish priest, but what you don't understand is that, we were 75 that came to the exam to which 35 passed, now out of that 35, do you think they are going to choose on merit, NO, they won't. because they only need at least 5-8 persons to be admitted that year. they. So let's see it this way. If the Bishop, vicar General, assistant to the Bishop, treasural, secretary, or those lecturers in the seminary school gave a list of those they recommended or suggested or wished to join the seminary, do you think the Vocation directors will drop those candidate to choose we that only came with a recommendation letter from a priest we are not that acquainted to, remember that even the Vocation directors has his own cherish candidate including the people his friends wishes to include in the seminary. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENT THAT YOU ARE AN ALTAR SERVER IN A PARISH AND THAT YOU ARE A RELATIVE OF A PARISH PRIEST. I hope u definitely understand where I base my word? The same politics plays in recruiting soldiers, police, custom, etc is been played the worse in church. I believe you are a Nigerian, well, since none of your relatives has experience it, you may think I am lying. I still have the recommendation letters two priest gave to me here. Have you ever seen a poor and educated and intelligent man become the PRESIDENT OF THE CATHOLIC MEN ORGANISATION, or a poor woman become a Leader in the women organisation?
No, you must be rich and well connected, some women do sleep with priests to get that position, which is likely to be the reason the wife of this man died on bed with a priest. My brother, stop seeing those white garment men as Jesus. Many but not all are Jezebel's Husband AHAB. I REST MY CASE.

If 35 passed, and the required number is between 5 - 8, why do you think you are among those they cheated.

You can't automatically assume the position of being the cheated one because there are still more than 20 candidates that passed the examination without getting admission.

You can't make a good priest with this kind of mindset. You are too emotional to make rational judgement.
Learn to separate yourself from whatever and whoever you're criticising.

The only cogent thing you said is about they offering admission to a candidate that did not pass the test...that's all.

Imagine this scenario. 35 of you passed, twenty of you got recommendation from a bishop, 10 from parish priest, five from the vocation directors.
They offered admission to five candidates recommended by bishops, 1 from parish priest, and one from the directors.
Will you accuse them of cheating because you did not get what you wanted despite the fact that those that got it actually passed the test?

What I see from your write up is that, you have the average mentality of a Nigerian politician..'It must be me attitude'

My advise is that, if you truly desire priesthood, go back to the drawing board and learn the ropes. Study the trend, ask yourself what and what has been depriving you of this opportunity for the past three years.

If you discover that candidates with recommendation from Bishops stand a better chance after passing the test, go make friends with a Bishop or get recommendation from there, or better still, go a little above and get a recommendation from a Archbishop.

Your story is a classical case of 'passing the test is not enough'

Pls go and learn the ropes and know your onions

Things like this gets me really scared to setting down..... You just can't trust a woman with your heart these days... .

And do you trust a man?Bro it takes two to tango.

What a shame to the deceased wife and priest.

NwaEnugwuukwu:
Nawa o.

The only thing needed from you is just a written recommendation note from a priest that can attest for your character.

If you said that you couldn't get one, it means you have not been a committed catholic. There's no way you will be a committed catholic without having many priests as your friends. It's normal everywhere.

don't take the guy serious jare, my elder brother who wasn't influential then was given a good recommendation by a parish priest simply because of him being a good boy....
no priest will deny you that once you're good

Oksman:
I am not mocking you and would never do, but only stating the obvious, that if God actually called you to work for him in his vineyard you will still manifest! "Who says it and it comes to pass if the Lord does not approve of it"? (Lamentation 3:37) Be hopeful and do not sulk until he makes way for you. Wish you the best.

I never wanted to be a priest, even though I have been serving as an altar server from teenage, I only see myself as a force man. But during my ND, I developed an intense feeling of being a priest, then immediately I got my ND cert, upper class, I started pursuing it for 3 years, if I was deceived into it nor try to join under duress, nor because I might graduate and no job as many says, then Let God be my Judge

Godfullsam:
She died in active service .

May God forgive her sins and grant her eternal rest.

There's nothing like God forgiving her sins after death, have u not read? ''it is laid down for man to die ones, after this, the judgement.'' The only condition is if she had an encounter with God be4 death took her away.

Nawaoo

Chai! Wetin se.x go cause for this life sha! Hian!

They even put rosary on her neck.

I never said I was cheated Bro, did you even go through my comments, I only said we were four in numbers, this four am talking about were my friends, so I can't talk about others. Pls for Christ sake I never said I was cheated.go back to my posts.

You have a point here, I have worked as an alter server to priests in a Big Diocese in South South, my parents have held positions as CMO and CWO Chair persons, to a reasonable extent, you're making sense

thorpido:
The husband still calls her 'my lovely wife'.smh

Maybe he is one of 'em simps lol.... She might have other great qualities to him... Someone that has pneumonia to is cheating... At the detriment of her own health.. Some women sha...

Organicist95:
I pray God forgives you


Kindly list the names of women you know what do sleep with priests just to be made president of Catholic women organization...

If you cannot mention one name then...pray for God to forgive you!

Simply because you weren't admitted into the seminary doesn't mean you are better or more intelligent than those there...

Simply because you weren't admitted doesn't mean you should start telling lies about things you don't have evidence on

You want names, right?
Mrs Linda Chukwu. We heard this during the domestic violence with her husband at my compound. Even the priest was confronted, but an Assemblies of God church pastor intervened and the matter died.
My colleague in airport were I work as a security has caught a priest with a married woman making live love in his car, he bribed them, so as not to go to police station in Enugu Emene station
Do you actually thought I am Dastard. I say what happens not what they say they say and he said.

I really love this.
it very educating.
even Jesus Christ himself have said it all, he said do what they say but not what they do.
our priets and religious are also men like us set aside to direct us. so we shouldn't do what they do . whenever they're on the altar it when I respect them as priest but after then I only see them as struggler of the kingdom of God like any other person

I never said I wasn't giving a recommendation letter.
Ooook you want to see my recommendation letter right. Wait for it right away

THOMAS
HOPE YOU HAVE SEEN MY RECOMMENDATION AND ATTESTATION LETTERS, two Catholic priests wrote it for me from different parish HOME AND ABROAD PARISHES. now you can believe what you like, I will keep it as a proof to WHOM IT MAY CONCERN to know that I tried my possible best

KevMitnick:
Hmmm...The priest is getting off easy. Must be very influential. I see this as a case of a woman who did not love the man she married, it must have been a marriage of convenience, that is she simply married the man that was available to her. It's also possible that the priest doles out a lot of money to her. She was willing to risk it all, not minding the consequences, not to forget how she desperately destroyed evidence of her infidelity. See people playing with fire.

not a matter of marrying a husband she love or not, as a catholic faithful I can testify to you that this women have high taste for God ordian priest. Both young single ladies and married are dying to have sex with priests even at the expense of nothing from the priest. I have many catholic priest friends who told me stories of how young ladies and married women lured them for sex.

Most times they make the moves even when the priest is not interested

stevmatt15:
Thanks.
My Paris priest told me to be careful about the congregations I applied to, because many of them do not have a strong seat in Rome, while many of them don't have valid authority from the Bishop, etc, such congregations can expel you in the theology level just to have fewer seminarians to ordain, because they were not that popular or rich in terms of ordaining priests or having parishes on their own, etc, just things like that.
About being a religious priest, Sir, I really tried my best. I applied to Somascan, Claratians, Dominican, Capuchin, Redemptorist (the Vocations director told me they are on recession because of financial status, etc so they have not been accepting application letter for two years) and for the rest, I went for the first encounter and second encounter, which I spent 3 days in the mission house. Only God knows why I was not admitted. I have to move on, IT IS NOT A DO OR DIE AFFAIR. if that is HIS WILL, then who am I to twist it.
And for joining the seminary after primary, that will only help if you have the connections needed. We know about 35 of the aspirants that attended the same minor seminary school that we wrote the entrance exam in, but, during the day of our interview, we didn't see many of them, they didn't even pass the simple examination but they attended the minor seminary school. When I met one of them who failed on my way to park, we discussed, but, but, but, he said he is only trying his best because he knows that he is going no where, even if he came out in flying colors, that they won't grant him admission. He was the one that told me to call all the priest I know to assist rather than me depending on my intelligence or education. He really said many things which I believed. So Bro/Sir. We are in the world of who knows who. No connection nothing for you. I just pray I succeed with the NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE. I have to make a living nah!!!

Your experience with trying to get to the seminary is kind of strange and funny to me. Because here in Ekiti, youths are strongly urged to pursue priesthood vocation and those that applied with appropriate O'level result and parish priest recommendations are usually picked by the various seminaries. As far as I know here in Ekiti, only those that either didn't do/pass CRS in O'level or have some questionable character have been denied.

let me back this disturbing news with my recent experience in the course of my 1 year youth service in kwara state. we were posted to a school as usual bur my own fell to a catholic school head by rev fathers. The one that admitted our batch was moved to another place after 2 months in accordance to their system, they only spend some time in a location b4 being moved and they brought another one, a learned and vry sound rev, he extended a gud gesture to us as a corp members and he did give out raw food stuff out to us, he wil invite us for dinner at times and we wer realy fun of him n adour him in respect to his kindness. But he blew evrything up the day he summoned one of our female colleagues behind n ask her out. We were all left amused and confused that he dimd it fit to go against his oaths to nt get involve in a romance relationship with any woman, and this ultimately depleted our respect for him, although we stil regarded him as our boss but nt as our confidance. So, only God knws the criteria used

Some count be trusted bro
Can you be Trusted as well.

She would have been alive if she did not cheat.

Yet, many will not learn. Right now, someone somewhere, married to someone else is collecting or giving prick to someone who is either spiritually and legally or not committed to someone else. She has paid the ultimate prize for her way of life. May God forgive her and forgive us for all the sins we commit everyday. As for that priest, I think you need to be arrested to explain what happened.

Oga abi na Mr a go call you, listen and listen daaaaaaaaaaaaaàaaaaamn Good ok,you most not be a priest,rev sister or a pastor before you serve God, if you really want to serve him as you claimed, you can still do that .......just because you where not given admission doesn't mean you can't serve him,I choose not to go to the priesthood or seminary because I don't trust myself and again I don't want to be a priest that will be a disgrace to the priesthood, my family and most importantly myself so stop castigating the church and move on with your life

The way to go is the moment you take a woman as wife assume you are a one eye man if not U kpie before Ur time.

Sir,in Christendom, there's no forgiveness after DEATH.

Ishilove:
I am surprised that this kind of nepotism exists in the seminary and by extension the Catholic Church. I would have thought they will be happy to even have your applications. Later later when the one who failed starts misbehaving people will start casting aspersions on the church of God, not knowing the dubious way the person got admitted in the first place.

God is the judge of all. You can still serve God in other capacities so don't be discouraged.

Evil is everywhere, even in places no one can imagine.
I am sure the woman died during the sex romp.
But these Priests, cant they just marry and enjoy their wife, instead of pretending and then negaging in all sorts of evil, from violating little boys in their care to cruelty of immaginable proportions?

Organicist95:
Thank God you weren't admitted into the seminary

You nag alot

You'll carry your poisonous life style to the public too??

Rev father was to do deliverance for deceased on Holy Thursday

This the reason I will never do ‘overnight’ with any woman till I marry. If something happens and someone’s daughter dies in your house what will you say?

That’s how a friend of my friend took a girl home only for her to get asthma attack in the midnight and die I’m his room.

Mba o. Me I prefer quick visit things. Come over, collect the D and return to your fathers house safely.

Don't join priesthood to deceive yourself because you are not priest like, and may end up like the one we are reading about today.

@bold, you are calling out a woman's name in public forum because you "heard" an accusation about her sleeping with a priest in your compound.

When the priest was confronted, did he confess to committing the heinous crime you accuse the woman of?

You're not clever at all. What if they sue you for this comment? Will your defense be relied on hearing the accusation in your compound?
Someone tested you and you failed woefully like a dead wood.

Is this how you will hear confessions from your congregation as a priest, then go into town and start gossiping by calling names? I don't think you can keep that sacred order as a priest.

You even contradicted yourself by claiming you don't just talk from hearsay, whereas, everything you said is based on hearsay.

Was the woman caught or her husband or whatever accused her based on suspicion.

Assembly of God pastor settling marital dispute is not enough evidence for you to go on cyberspace to call names.

If the woman was caught sleeping with a priest, is it the function of Assembly of God pastor to settle it, or the Function of the Bishop to discipline the priest?

For an outsider (Assembly of God pastor) to intervene in a weighty accusation, it is an indication that the details are shaky.
You as an intending priest now relied on that to call out someone's mother on the Internet to back your lame argument.

I dey vex for you

If 35 passed, and the required number is between 5 - 8, why do you think you are among those they cheated.

You can't automatically assume the position of being the cheated one because there are still more than 20 candidates that passed the examination without getting admission.

You can't make a good priest with this kind of mindset. You are too emotional to make rational judgement.
Learn to separate yourself from whatever and whoever you're criticising.

The only cogent thing you said is about they offering admission to a candidate that did not pass the test...that's all.

Imagine this scenario. 35 of you passed, twenty of you got recommendation from a bishop, 10 from parish priest, five from the vocation directors.
They offered admission to five candidates recommended by bishops, 1 from parish priest, and one from the directors.
Will you accuse them of cheating because you did not get what you wanted despite the fact that those that got it actually passed the test?

What I see from your write up is that, you have the average mentality of a Nigerian politician..'It must be me attitude'

My advise is that, if you truly desire priesthood, go back to the drawing board and learn the ropes. Study the trend, ask yourself what and what has been depriving you of this opportunity for the past three years.

If you discover that candidates with recommendation from Bishops stand a better chance after passing the test, go make friends with a Bishop or get recommendation from there, or better still, go a little above and get a recommendation from a Archbishop.

Your story is a classical case of 'passing the test is not enough'

Pls go and learn the ropes and know your onions

Make your submissions without attacking his person.
In a normal and fair situation, "learning the ropes" would not be necessary, if things were to be done strictly on merit.

You asked for names, he gave you names...and now you are criticising him and attacking him for giving you names!
What kind of person are you sef?
