Not to worry, but it becomes even more imperative from priesthood on that you keep yourself untainted and separate yourself from occasions of sin. You will be called to even more severe account if you fail here, so it’s best that you obtain control of your sins beforehand.

Don’t fall for the criminal record check. Plead conscientious objection. The grounds do not need to be your request to be a priest. You have rights simply on the grounds of being a Catholic.

This Deitically unsanctioned request from you is a legacy of an Institution that shirked from it’s duty to correct when it was required, and did not take the opportunity to teach another institution about principles of forgiveness and the sacrifices this charity demands of all entities.

The common good is restrained in 2 Cor 2,6 and insists that focus is on closure after a sentence is complete. The Church need not carry this responsibility which lies solely with the civil world.

However, the Church has the right to insist that you disclose that if you had any criminal past, that you have completed all sentencing from a civil point of view.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
 
I certainly don’t want a priest who isnt self aware and who has no experience of ‘life’ I find it reassuring that you question yourself and that is the reason you should definitely try your vocation

The real question is: are you CALLED to be a priest? If you think you may have a vocation to the priesthood, then you need to get a spiritual advisor and start the discernment process.
 
Always you should know that you are worthy, Christ suffered and died for you, and He has risen for you. He loves you more than anything - so - go to confession, confess your sins and be happy because Lord forgives you!

Be careful this could be temptation from Devil (Lord loves you, Himself said that, remember) and yes the main question here is: are you called?

In Christo,
frater Attempto
