Lol...
I'm sorry Your Grace!!!

If I may ask... Would you kindly state your profile with Catholic Church?
Wanna know before we start this debate.

pembisco:


I doubt this submission of yours. A priest is not even allowed to take a particular position even at a friend's wedding reception talk more of playing the role of best man during wedding. You know nothing about the Catholic Church

I do agree with you that Priests need permissions and dispensations from their Bishops to carry out some functions.

However, there is no law prohibiting a priest from functioning as a best man in a wedding as long as the marriage is between a Man and a Woman which the Church sees as valid. Also, as long as his function at the wedding does not contradict his priestly vows, he can sure go ahead.

apolonius:
It will be very difficult.

All Catholic priests need the permission of their Bishops for EVERYTHING-because they share in the priesthood of Christ through them.

The Catholic Bishops that I know are unlikely to permit a priest to serve as a Best man.

If he decides to do it without his Bishop’s permission, he will be reported by other priests and punished.

How did I know? I was in the Major seminary from a diocese and reported to a Bishop for 6 years.

You friend won’t tell you this. But show him this comment and tell me what he says.�

Good luck.�

ImaIma1:


Married people too act as best man and maid of honour. You don't have to be single.

It is USUALLY for a single guy...but not always

Some people will just come online and be asking silly and foolish questions for the sake of been relevant, first you said the said priest is your friend so what stopped you from asking him directly, secondly have you seen a priest sitting with the lay faithfuls during mass?

You could have asked him If the ethics of priesthood permits it. All the same, I am interested in the answer.

uglodoh:
If Catholics priests can join men and women together during weddings, they can as well be bestmen and chief bride maids for others.

Ask your best friend if such is allowed in the church.

Same way Bishop Oyedepo can be a best man

I am not a Roman catholic but this question wasnt asked in good faith as it was meant to mock catholic priesthood as all catholic priests are officially celibates. In islam, the question could be considered and insult if not a blasphemy punishable by death by stoning.

The highest he can do for you is to be the Chief celebrant,(the officiating priest in your wedding) talking about being your best man, it has never happened and can never happen bro

My own is "how do these reverend fathers /sisters, especially the ones in their 20s,30s and 40s cope with konji?"
Are they allowed to mast**bate or what?

Yes he can and nothing bad in it

Truefaith:


Please don't go!

'Papa' Oyedepo's anointing oil brings LIVE SNAKES AND SCORPIONS from the bodies of the people who attend his anointing oil service

That is from 'Papa' Oyedepo, himself, not from a distractor or a hater.

Listen to 'Papa' Oyedepo.

He teaches things only POWERFUL SHAMANS teach, never anything about the Lord Jesus Christ.

even your oyedapo have no right to curse anyone

I have every right to curse that foul demon inside of u causing u to run ur mouth

I’m a Roman Catholic, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know the answer but I think it would be be shameful to the church and to your friend to be your best man cos we hold our priest with high esteem and they are not supposed to be involved with something like that.

SanctifiedSista:

you should first curse the one inside oyedapo

No take your teeth share meat wey u no go chop.

From being a best man straight to becoming a groom in no distant time. Peace

Simple, call him and ask him but I doubt if it will worki

All the same, Good luck.

SanctifiedSista:
He is a man and human so it's very much allowed
Don't let things like this disturb u. U are d one marrying not Him
Now are u sick and in dire straits...find ur way to the living Faith church cananland OTA. Time is 11:45 am. Papa Oyedepo will be anoiting everyone that comes in that service. Bring your anointing oil and ur family and friends. Congratulations

You don't need Oyedepo to anoint you.

You are a child of God, and u are already anointed according to the Word of God.

As a believer, the Holy Spirit that resurrected Jesus from the Dead, lives inside you.

You don't need anybody to empty a bottle of Goya Oil on your Head, to be anointed

You yourself, you are a living anointing oil, infact, you are more than anointing oil.

Its an insult to the Finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross, to be using anointing oil to get anointed

Read your bible, study your Bible

Every believer is a Saint, "Saints" means “anointed one.” The anointing is already upon every believer, as Scripture tells us: “Now he which Establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God” (2 Corinthians 1:21 ) and anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you” (1 John 2:27 ).

Believe Gods word and walk in this consciousness of His Word, not the word of your pastor

Read the two scriptures above

God bless you Madam

Go and read your bible, don't let the spirit of Religion fool you

If I were to be in your shoes, it is my guy that is a priest that will join me and my bride.

divineappo:

I have warned u, don't use ur fingers to destroy ur business and ultimately ur life. GOD does not take lightly pple who do that. Be extremely careful

So I have this very good friend of mine whom we've been very close friends right from childhood. While he went on to become a catholic priest, I went and studied in the university.

Now the problem is, my wedding is coming up soonest and I have plans of using him as my best man since we've known each other for long.

Does the Catholic church permits priests to be a bestman at a wedding ceremony?

Kindly move to FP for a wider view and opinions please

he is your best friend... he is a catholic priest... what stops you from seeking advice from him? Afterall, he is in the best position to give you the kost accurate answer.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Why not ask him directly.

I like ur statement

I didn’t say there is a law that prohibits. But they need the permission of their Bishops...NEED is the word, so no choice. I am speaking about the practicality and the norm. Have you checked the Code of Canon Law though?

His Bishop owns him.
So go ask his Bishop.

uglodoh:


Is Bishop Oyedepo single?

And who says Rev. Fathers are single? Look closely on every Rev. Father's ring finger, you will see a ring. The ring was given to them when ordained a priest to indicate that they aren't single.

Wow, u don't sound like a Christian at all, you sound like someone that has been mentored by a Native Doctor

Read:
Luke 9:51-56
The disciples of Jesus asked him to call down fire on people, and Jesus rebuked and corrected his disciples, telling them not to behave like Elijah

I dare you to carry out any incantations they taught you in your current native doctor church

am just here smiling at your ignorance. Read your Bible, and stop behaving like a Native doctor mentee

Lol

How about using him as the officiating priest at your wedding instead of best man.......my thoughts though
