I don’t think that bodes well for your future if you choose to go into the priesthood.

I have very intimate relationships with four of my female friends. They know everything about me, and vice-versa. I’ve been friends with each of these women for years…two are married, one is engaged. I find them all attractive to one degree or another. However, I have zero desire to be with them in a relationship or sexually, nor have I ever felt that way.

I truly feel the types of people who should become priests or enter religious life are those for whom the idea of “no relationship” is just fine. If they’re not fine with that, they’re potentially putting themselves into a world of trouble.

Thank you for your advice, Dr. Floyd. I am just going to have to learn to control my thoughts (i.e. lust is a mortal sin) and actions. With God’s help, I hope that I will be successful in this way.

You’re welcome.

Are you at a seminary now?
