This (somewhat incomplete) late 1940s / early 1950’s color film "Seminar to Priesthood" uses the conceit of a scrapbook photo album to make a case for the vocation of Roman Catholic priesthood.

So much has been lost! Comparing this to the Church today, I can only surmise, an enemy hath done this!😔
Many of these priests ended up supporting Vatican ii and the Novus ordo mass later on
Unfortunately
😓
Unfortunately, they were explicitly taught in these institutions to never cross the line of clergy and their superiors. They thought that the Pope issued it in good faith. As we all now know, it didn’t work out.
Ok? Vatican II was good for the Church...
@@meminhofunybruh how?
God bless our Holy Priests!
Mary, Queen of the clergy; pray for us, obtain for us many and holy priests.
Vivat Christus Rex
Amen! Pray pray for the priesthood that they are holy and abide in the Sacred Heart of Jesus

God most beautiful priest sons..
The priest say the same thing💀
I go to a traditional Roman Catholic Church that still does the mass in the pre 1956 rubrics. It’s such a beautiful mass, and the church is absolutely gorgeous I go to. The church was a Jesuit seminary that the Jesuits themselves built in 1915-1917, and it’s located in Spokane, Washington. It’s called Mount St. Michael’s. After the changes of the Second Vatican Council Mount St. Michael’s Seminary wasn’t getting any men who wanted to become priests, so they sold the seminary. It’s sad how many convents and seminaries have closed their doors due to the changes of the Vatican II Council, and the mass brought in by the council doesn’t even resemble the mass that Jesus Christ himself founded…the Catholic mass. This video was very nice to watch.
Are you a sedevaticanist? Why do they use pre 1956?
Loved watching this I thing god was calling me to the priesthood when I was a young boy but I didn’t see it at the time but I see it now that I’m old and look back if only I could go back in time I hate this world that’s been created especially what’s happened to the United States I am leaving here for good in December of 2024 for Philippines to live the rest of my life the catholic faith there is awesome you go to church you are lucky to find a seat pray for me and my wife there
What's been lost with Vatican 2...
You mean apart from the true Catholic faith???????
I went to a Catholic college everyone had to take two semesters of philosophy. The first class, philosophy of the human person, I had NO idea what was going on from the first day of class to the last question on the final. Somehow I got a 'C' 😅
26:59 You know what they say: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
The men here appear to have had a far better education than more recent seminarians per their videos. In this very long pipeline, where is the training for their real role? They're supposed to be shepherds teaching/guiding sheep to achieve salvation and bringing back the lost ones.
Jesus is the head of the church. [Eph 1:22-23] He has authority over everything in heaven and earth. [Mat 28:18] He and via His Apostles left everything needed to be saved. That's what everybody is supposed to obey not all the manmade rituals and doctrines created later by waves of successors. [Matt 15:7-9]
My father was in the seminary until he got his high-school girlfriend pregnant and here I am. Real Talk.
That's such evil activity from your father, but unless you're very old he likely wasn't in the true Catholic Church, but in the Vatican II sect, which is a false Church currently lead by Antipope Francis.
@@AntonioEligius ok boomer.
@@cristiancaiola9588 dead [clap] meme [clap]
@@AntonioEligius Father '45, mother '47, me '65. I was at her high-school graduation. He's still involved with RC, K of C, politics, etc. It is what it is.
@@scratchdog2216 oh no, that's no good; that means he was around for the radical changes in the Church and stuck with it; here I recommend you guys watch this video together: (it keeps auto-deleting my comment if I post it with a link, so search on TH-cam: "Vatican II: Council of Apostasy" and it should be the first video)
Chimo recruitment film
Rabbis?
No chicks, no sale.
Then you need to enter a seminary for an Eastern Catholic church. Start growing your beard.
And all the alter boys in between.
not sure if your trying to be funny or just an anti-Catholic bigot
@@jamesorth6460 life is short, learn to live.
@@kentbrochman4150 Or learn not to be an ahole
@@jethro1963 oh look, another person that needs to learn that life is to short to be a crabby patty.
@@kentbrochman4150 Oh look, yet another intolerant hater troll hiding as a purveyor of childlike bon mots. Been there, seen that, bought the Tshirt, attended the seminar. Just curious, anti Catholic or anti religion where's the hate aimed?
Little boys run!!!
from pedophile rabbis.
From semi to priest hood
What you are describing is the Vatican II sect and not the Catholic Church which was depicted back then. The Vatican II sect took over the buildings in about the 1960s, see this video and more from this channel: th-cam.com/video/BWsgxCVYtAI/w-d-xo.html
@@AntonioEligius There are cases of pedophilic priests in my diocese dating all the way back to 1921.
@@multismashify makes sense; the communists were heavy into infiltrating the Church and that's how we got where we are today, look up how many radicals Bella Dodd encouraged to infiltrate the Church that she admitted to after she left the Communist party
poor boys ☹️
It’s different back then
If a boy is attracted to same sex life, a Seminary is perfect place. I was told this by my priest BF.
God have mercy on your filth ridden soul
You were told this by your New Order ordained priests, they are not Catholic. The New Order church was promulgated by Freemasons and is Protestant. They infiltrated Christ's church and they dare to call themselves Catholic. They are tools of Satan. The modernist seminaries are rife with gay men, not the real priests in this video, those young men truly gave their lives to serve Our Blessed Lord and to save souls. Thank God for Saint Marcel Lefebvre because of him we still have real masculine priests.
Deo gratias✝️🙏
@@A._150 ...you in a fantasy world of imagined behavior.
@@theromanbaron ...you have a dirty mind
All seminaries have a gay squad.....its the same everywhere.
I was a no good
