you say "OK, son, if this is really what you want, then I support his decision and help you in all that I can"
That is the only right thing for a father to say
(and this is coming from an atheist, btw)
I simply say to the search for his soul, and to consider everything. If you feel that this is the right thing to do, then give him a ride to the seminar.
I would support him 100%
My advice would be to pray and make sure this is what God has planned for you. Being a priest is not easy work. Apart from the personal sacrifices, will be called out at all hours of day and night to care for the sick and dying - and those who only need someone to talk to.

pugwashjw - his second "point" is a lot of "nonsense of a Jehovah's Witness." Read more in Exodus, where God commanded Moses to build an ark to the commandments - Do not tell him where cheribim - gold no less? Or later, when God commanded Moses to build a staff with a snake in it and all who are bitten by the snake must bow to it and be cured?
Get a life JW, and understand what you hate before you hate.
Go for it! My 16 years old, goes that way we're trying to help anyway we can to discern their vocation. We live in an era in which many ignore the call. Future generations need good priests.
I'm not Catholic, so that's not why I'm saying this, but I think it is a vocation perfectly. There are plenty of good men who are priests. I think I should support him and help him be one of the good.
I would be very proud of his decision. However, I want to be sure I was following a genuine call of God, and that was it properly. So I suggest you start doing serious research on the seminar to attend, that the order of priests to join the demands of the priesthood and how you plan to secure financing for their seminary studies, and many other things. I help as much as I could. I would say to talk to other priests and seeking their advice. I would say to pray about his decision. If there is any question, I would do my best to answer them. If he decided, after much research, that the priesthood was, in fact, calling his life, I respect that. But if you came to do and became a priest, would be delighted.
I would say "Well, let's go talk to one and I will take catechism classes with you. We can discuss this and learn together. And did you realize you are not allowed to have sex will not you? "
And if it became a Roman Catholic priest, I feel proud, but not still believe that doctrine.
I'd say "okay are u sure?" Then I remember what a big desion is and the sacrifices that have to do, if you still want to, then I would be fine wit that I would be proud
even if your child wants to be a stripper, his supporters. you can offer alternative careers, but ultimately, trying to steer you in the ideal address Its cause conflict.
Do not immediately judge. Ask - discuss the matter with him. Why this choice? What new businesses? What are the casualties? Is this the best way of life for him?
That's all you can do. Have you really thought about it before making a decision so huge. But do not pressure him in any way. He will have to make your own mind.
Two main points here.
the first of Linda R.
How would obey this;
(Matthew 28:19-20) Therefore go and make disciples of people of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And look! I am with you always, until the conclusion of the system of things. "
And second, how would he know that this really applies to;
(Revelation 18:4-5) And I heard another voice from heaven said, "Out of her, my people, lest they share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have gathered together to clear the sky, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.
What criteria are used to determine the rules of God.
Since DISOBEYS Catholic faith;
(Exodus 20:4-5) "Do not do for yourself a carved image or a shape, something that is in heaven above or on earth beneath or that is in waters under the earth. 5 should not bow to them nor be induced to serve them, the Lord your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of the fathers upon the children, the third generation and fourth generation In the case of those who hate me;
You should ask questions about what is getting in first and how serious it is about him and his devotion to God. But in general, tell your pride and will support him all the way
I would support. that no matter what you think. in this case only matters what he believes. will ultimately be their choice and would be wise to stand behind him the whole way.
Tell discern and pray a lot. Searching for a seminar that teaches the dogma of the Catholic Church, not the new age paganism and modernism, which unfortunately some workshops.
That prompted the Virgin Mary to help guide you.
Read about the patron saint of all Catholic priests the Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney.
I know some priests who have lost their way because of their need for comfort, how can they be our shepherds, if not being watchful of wolves?
I know its not easy for the priesthood, but one has to otherwise?
God bless you for being so willing to be on this path.
I wonder why. What does he want to go in that direction. Is it what God wants him to do. It is a conviction or a passing fancy. My friends brother became a Catholic priest. Not easy, but if it's a real call from God to be blessings beyond what I could imagine to go along with the struggles and difficulties give yourself body and soul to God.
My answer would be: "If it makes you feel full and complete, then I am more than happy. It is understood, however, I was raised Catholic and have not chosen to practice. I have very good reasons, if you want to hear. I also appreciate that they respect my decision to practice Buddhism. I love you and wish you well. "

give him my full support and encourages
Wonderful son - Go with God and pray through your training! Make sure what you want and discern God's will correctly and completely!
I would support him 100%

Forward.
Help!
He is your son and you should support / love him NO MATTER WHAT!

"emmm, ok … great!! Are you sure about this? "
I would say "Well, let's go talk to one and I will take catechism classes with you. We can discuss this and learn together. And did you realize you are not allowed to have sex will not you? "
And if it became a Roman Catholic priest, I feel proud, but not still believe that doctrine.
I will ask, "How much money can be earned each month?"

great.
It's your life. Tell him good luck.
Do not immediately judge. Ask - discuss the matter with him. Why this choice? What new businesses? What are the casualties? Is this the best way of life for him?
That's all you can do. Have you really thought about it before making a decision so huge. But do not pressure him in any way. He will have to make your own mind.

So I praise and thank God!

If that's what I wanted to do, Id support.

You are very fortunate to have a child who wants to serve God in the highest …
Tell me about it.
I would say go ahead but do not come preaching to me!
Do what makes you comfortable.
