I just saw a priest smoking...

[AeonBlaire]

Waaa nagulat ako nung nakita ko siya, dko alam kung nagugutom lang ako, or baka hallucination, or baka naman may nang-ge-genjutsu sa akin. Is this ETHICALLY allowed?

[Memphis Raines]

No big deal.

The first priest that I saw smoking was a dominican one who held our regular friday mass at our school in Novaliches back in 1985. He was taking a puff behind our auditorium right before every mass.

Although they do preach that our bodies should be kept clean inside and out because it is where the Holy Spirit resides, they are afterall, only human.

"Do as I say but not as I do"

There are actually no commandments saying "Thou shalt not drink" or "Thou shalt not smoke."

Of course, there are also no commandments saying "Thou shalt not take a hit of jutes", but I haven't seen a priest do this...

magulat ka pag may makita kang paring may tsiks! o kaya hawak nya sa kamay sakristan nya hehehe

ako hindi na nagugulat if a priest even goes barhopping.. it's because i'm with one during my highschool days..as if , he's the alpha dog in our barkada

chicks, it's very ordinary for this priest also, inuuwi pa nga nya sa parish house eh, hehehehe..

as one have said they're still human and they are not too conscientious enough especially if they're used to it.

and he's a roman catholic priest ha... ang last na balita ko, he sired a son but he's still a practicing priest up to now..

[morrissey_05]

no big deal, ive seen priests smoke before.

[GerardTagayty]

^^ ahahaha! cant help but snicker.. lol well one time sa gym this priest was working out after puting down the weights he sweared nagulat ako adn looked at him ngumiti lang sha. he didnt mean it like just to say it parang naging tension release lang. hehehe! like they said tao lagn naman din sila. but than kung nagiging habit nila or naging vice na well thats a different story na.

[empy]

didn't realize that smoking was considered a sin these days....

[cutedoc]

meron akong nakakasabay na priest sa gym, at first i didnt know he was a priest till they call him father, and no he doesnt swear (i do especially in badminton games when i miss hitting the birdie)

i dont think smoking is prohibited BUT, i feel that they shouldnt smoke in public as they are good morale figures and smoking in public will only create an ethical disturbance to the people.

Exactly. Somehow smoking evokes such negative connotation to most people. Probably 'coz it's a vise. I have no problems with priests that smoke. Yung iba ngang older priests tobacco pipe pa e. hehe.

What I find appalling are parents who smoke with their babies around.

[chilli]

No big deal. In fact from the Catholic school which I came from, yung priest namin dun nga nabuntis nya yung isang HS student eh. so i wont be surprised na may nagi smoke na priest. mas mild pa nga siguro to kesa sa ginawa ng dating pari sa school namin di ba?

[red07]

Ok lang yun. Yosi lang naman e, hindi naman sila pinagbabawal ng simbahan mag yosi.

[mazingerZ]

I had this experience dati, jumingle ako sa CR ng isang sinehan na nagpapalabas ng mga bold movies dati dito sa amin kasama ang barkada. Paglingon ko sa kabilang urinal katabi ko pala ang theology teacher ko na pari. Medyo dinedma ko lang, pero nung monday afterthat, di siya makatingin sa akin sa klase. hehehe

First they make the rules, then they break it.

[VtEC]

he he

dalawang secta po yang kaparian.

a) secular - allowed yan na magkabahay, manigarilyo, uminom (ewan kolang sa mambabae)pwede silang magmay ari ng mga higit sa isang materyal na bagay.

b) religious - opposite ng secular mga yan (sample ng religious congregation e yong mga salesians).say kung meron silang 2 relos, papamigay nila yong isa.yon na nga, bawal silang manigarilyo etc etc.

sana tama ang understanding ko sa grupo ng kaparian.yong galing sa mga sectarian schools, you should know this fact.

[XTO]

Agree with cutedoc, as long as they don’t do it in public. Lots of them have vices too. Yes they do play cards, mah jong and others and even matatapang and bastos ang bibig inside the seminary. According to my friend seminarians di mo aakalaing ganun sila sa likod ng abito but I think for me, hindi naman lahat, they’re just a fraction of those matutuwid at mga tao nga rin sila.

how about this one: we have a tenant in our apartment in the 80’s. he’s a single, matangkad at guwapo he has a brand new Honda 125 pro link (the older brother of the SLRs nowadays) . Who’s paying for his monthly rentals? A catholic priest. In short this guy has a priest lover who visits him almost every night.

hmmm. i don't see anything wrong with it.
niky's right, there is no commandment which says, Thou shall not drink or Thou shall not smoke.

in the new testament, it was taught and stated that the body is composed of three states: the body, the soul and the spirit. each has their own decisions, in which, the body is of physical decisions, the soul is your mind and the spirit is your conscience. it was also taught that the body is the sanctuary of the holy spirit.

this priest just allowed his body to make a decision to smoke...

yung priest na kilala ko. kasama namin umiinom tapos nagssmoke pa siya sa tirahan niya sa likod ng church. tapos pulutan hostya(tama b speling) ok lng daw kasi hindi pa na-bless yung pinulutan namin na hostya. pero ngayon diko na ginawa ulit yun. sorry

that shouldnt be a problem...if the bread has not been consecrated thru the Sacrament of the Eucharist, then it's just bread, right? it's not the body of Christ...

anyway, give the priests a break. smoking is not a sin, and they need some earthly pleasures to make up for the fact that they cannot have the seks :naughty2:
