How Catholic priests deal with sexual urges; candid talk.

This video just like many others which I've made, is to encourage anyone who is living in sexual sin or anyone who is abstaining but they always feel like giving up. That you are not in this space alone. that we have people with experiences like yours but they are not giving up their place of purity and ultimately sainthood.

Quote to SHARE by St. Teresa of Avila "Behind each priest, there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them, we must have twice as much to pray for them."

Very good. I’m a very empathic sensitive person - who wants to please God. I also want to change my life and not fall into sin. I get crushes or attractions especially to someone who is God loving or fearing. So I respond by keeping a respectful distance - and following much of these same practices. 🕊✝️🙏🏼❤️

Celibacy is tough because our human nature wants to belong to someone in all our senses. I pray that all priests can fulfill this, but it's tough. ❤

[rodneybourdeau]

I pray every Our Father I say for my Priest friends that God may sustain them in their celibacy.

I've been married to a wonderful woman for over 30 years. I wouldn't have it any other way! Praise GOD from Whom all blessings flow!

A priest should deal with sexual feelings in the same way a married man should deal with sexual feelings about women other than his wife.

We need orders and third religious orders dedicated to praying fast for our Catholic priest for them to be pure and to be holy . We need new religious orders for the mission to pray for our priests

[hanswurst]

Our Lord never expected, suggested or demanded that the shepherds were to be celibate. Nor does the self-imposed deprivation please Him in any way. If someone has the "gift" of celibacy, that's one thing, but to make celibacy a condition for service contradicts God's order of creation and his statement that "It is not good that the man be alone." Was not St. Peter married?

If these urges become overwhelming then they need to leave the Priesthood right now instead of hoping for a Papal excuse for their misdeeds .

The spirit is ardent, but the flesh is weak.

Why would the public want to know.thr sexual urges of anyone let alone religious people is privacy irrelevant now

[donallen]

The spirit is willing but the body is often weak.

The priests are great engineers medical doctors, doctors of knowledge, scholars, great teachers, holders of PhD in every fields, etc.

Why does the Catholic Church have all those rules against sex?? Crazy? Are they going to tell God He made a terrible mistake?

[michaelgraine]

I had cancer now because of surgery i no longer can have sex, to be nice, it doesn't work anymore.

[warrenrosen]

"Maintain their purity." The implication is that non celibacy equals impurity. Better to say "maintain their obligation."

[richardmason]

Excellent. All vocations have their challenges. There are special graces with each one.

[martintalbot]

To give up you sexuality is also giving up some of your humanity..most of your empathy..and all of who you are..

[LeppardLadyRN]

We’ve seen how they’ve dealt with it and it being covered up!

[patodwyer]

It is very difficult to understand why God gave us these sexual urges, it's as if we were designed to self distruct.
