Author Topic: Priest Wearing Ring (Read 4751 times)

There has been some talk ay my chapel about the priest at the novus ordo church in my town. Apparently, the priest in question wears a wedding band on his left ring ringer. The people at my chapel have found out it is his late father's ring, which he wears for sentimental reasons. It has caused quite a stir, as some people at my chapel believe that by wearing the ring in that fashion the man causes scandle, as people not familiar with him may think he is married. I am very confused by the whole ordeal. Help would be appreciated.

Sounds typical of new order. Why should it stir you? Whether they are married, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, does it matter, they are not validly ordained. They are aligned to the Protestant/communist ways. Nothing out of order with them, at least not in their minds.

I agree with songbird, but the problem runs deeper.

One wonders why he pilfered his father's wedding ring. I guess that since Bergoglio admitted to stealing a dead priest's belongings at his bedside, this priest thought it acceptable to take the wedding ring off his dead father's hand rather than have him buried with it and is proudly wearing it to show his congregation that it's OK to pilfer the belongings of the dead since they won't need the stuff anymore.

Passing down a keepsake like a wedding ring is a wonderful tradition. Tell the others to get a life.

I am now more confused. Is it objectionable for a son to inherit his father's wedding ring? I didn't know that a person should always be buried with his wedding ring.
