Bishop Parkes used to be a priest in our diocese, the Diocese of Orlando. His brother is also a bishop, the Diocese of St. Petersburg. There are several young Bishops in the US, I think the youngest is in his late 40's. You have a wonderful Bishop!

We were very blessed to have Fr. Joachim Giermek with us after his time as the Minister General of the Conventual Franciscans. He brought great wisdom and had such a gentle spirit. He is sorely missed.

Thank you Fr Casey for the great content as alway. I just made my Profession in March as a 3rd order Franciscan. I feel my spiritual life has improved on this journey.

Well said, Fr, Casey. Blessings on you and your priestly life. (from a diocesan priest brother)

Got that long time ago. It is good to hear it again. Long live the Church and it will. Amen.

I have been a Catholic all my life, and I wasn't even aware of the distinction in the priesthood, between diocesan and religious priests. Thank you, Father Casey, for this informative look into the priesthood. Please do more of these types of videos, covering various structural aspects of our Church. This is so fascinating.

God bless you Fr and all the religious men and women in our church.

It is not always clear what is or isn't a Heresy. Heresy is opposing the Church doctrine. However, some issues typically predicated on conscious maybe judged by some as Heresy when many of us say that is on the individuals conscious and not on our judgement of their actions or their conscious. For example I do not thing Euthanasia is a violation of sanctity of life. And I not so sure sanctity of life is doctrine as much as it is a teaching designed to achieve doctrine. If one practiced euthanasia did they take an innocent life, or did they aid themselves in ending needless suffering. Note also the action is not a teaching and thus is not leading others which is also and important issue. Before anyone retorts please consider a large group claimed to be scholars and Priests signed a letter acclaiming Pope Francis of Heresy.

Thank you Father, been waiting for something like this.

Thank you for explaining this so clearly! Greetings from St. Marys Kentucky

I live in a town under a diocesan priest with the church in the town center, however the neighborhood that I belong is under the parish of a religious order (Order of St. Augustine). Our town has 42 neighborhoods called "barangay". Parishioners living within and near the town center usually attends the mass at the diocesan church. As from the barangay where I belong, I attend the mass at the parish run by the OSA since I live just about 10-15 mins walk from the church. Parishioners of both churches can attend mass either of the two parishes. The OSA Priests can also celebrate mass at the diocesan church when the diocesan priests were not available.

Fantastic explanation, Father. Loved the ending.☺

Finally, an explanation I can wrap my head around! Thank you!

Thank you for this explanation!

Beautiful explained ❤💯

This was such a good video Farther, well done . And greetings from Southern California 😊.

I grow up with Religious Priests and when I was discerning Priesthood I was immediately inclined towards Religious and yes I am considering Religious Life but not as a priest anymore but as a Lay Religious! Keep praying for me 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you Father awesome video.

In Austria, many religious priests - especially of the old monasterian orders like the Benedictines - have to combine both, since many monasteries are responsible for a great number of parishes, either incorporated by the order or entrusted to them by the bishops. It is often hard for these priests to balance their vocation to be a monk with the needs of their parishes.

This was very helpful. Thank you!

The Franciscans left our St. Francis parish in Sacramento CA. I miss them but the two diocesan priests that we have had since have been good men. Franciscans were special but the community remains.

Gracias por la información fraile Casey. Saludos desde México :)

Very interesting! Thank you for explaining that :-)

Thank you father casey for the great content.

Very informative Fr 😊

great insight Fr Kaycy

I recognize the priest in the photo at 4:22 - he was a parochial vicar in my parish growing up! My uncle is a diocesan priest, while I do communications work for a Franciscan order of Friars. I've learned the differences over the past couple of years, but this is a great explainer video, Fr. Casey!

Thank you, Father. I've been a Catholic for all of my life (except for the months before my baptism) and this is the first time I've heard this explained so clearly. God bless you!

Interesting, Fr Casey 👍🏻.

This was very informative Father! I always wondered how we got our priests, our current priest is from Nigeria and before Fr Maurice, we had Fr Shoby from India! Both amazing!!! ❤ your channel and content, Kristy from Missouri 😃🙏🙏🙏

I attended a High School run by a Benedictine monastery. While the monks would usually be in habits during the regular school day, it wasn’t uncommon to see them in a collar on occasion as well, especially if they were filling in at a parish. It was also pretty common to see them in regular street clothes depending on what their jobs at the monastery or school were.

Here in Mexico there is a sort of friendly "rivalry" between the Legionaries of Christ and the Crusaders of Christ the King, two different priestly congregations. Both the legionaries and the crusaders are very active in religious universities, as well as in organising peregrinations, missions, and other activities.

Thx for info

I saw the Parish I grew up in in your video! Immaculate Conception in Amenia, NY.

Hello Fr. Casey! I see our Bishop at the beginning of your video! Bishop Noonan from the Diocese of Orlando.🙂

Thank you Fr Casey for your consistency in teaching the faith. Could you consider making a video about the Brotherhood (Religious Brothers, that is, not ordained ministers) in the Church.

Thanks for this informative video, I had a group of alter servers who wanted to know the difference between diocesan and religious priests. Am happy that I answered correctly depending on ur presentation. Pray for me....shall be a priest in July 2024

Father Casey , please make videos on eastern Catholic priests ! And the differences and history

Thank you for explaining this, Father. As a neophyte, I didn't get why different priests wore different "uniforms" and didn't get a clear answer online.

You might appreciate Forest Gardening. Kind of a Johnnie Appleseed, but planting of fruit, nut trees, vines and plants that provide food throughout the seasons, even medicinal plants. Which it is beneficial should something happen. If not, it can be their for the future, which fowl and animal both would like as well.

From these comments, I feel like I am the only one who doesn't understand. Where do religious priests get their authority from? How do you become an ordained priest, if not from a bishop?

We need both

2:02 I remember, Johnston, once bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau. More of a Bishop Rice fan myself

Have you read Saint Anthony's "Sermons for Sundays and Festivals"?

Priests of a religious order are also called Regular Clergy meaning they live according to a Rule such as the Rule of St Benedict the rule of St Agustine etc. The title is seldom used in the US Church.

Great to see 👀 👍 a new 👏 Catholicism in Focus

Fr. Casey, I’ve been told that an abbot has the same ecclesiastical position as a bishop and may administer certain sacraments reserved for a bishop, such as confirmation outside of giving a new convert the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil in a parish and ordination of priests and deacons. He may also wear the miter and carry the shepherd’s crook at church ceremonies or Mass. do provincials of orders also have this ecclesiastical position?

Hi Father Casey, can you make a video on the early church fathers?

I had no idea wow .!

Father Casey,I have been a devout Catholic ALL my life and I am so very confused now. So,hierarchy wise,there is a Bishop,who is an ordained priest,and on the other,there is Provincial who you say,may or may not be ordained? So,may or may not be a priest? The picture you showed (which I took to be the Provincial,wore a collar). Please, please help me understand. Will wait for your reply and thank you Father Casey.

Excellent video I have shared this on social media I have asked to consider the priesthood but feel afraid why me I am not good enough what if I mess it up

Let's be honest, the outfit looks so cool

I like your explanation, can you do the difference between a Catholic Church and Catholic Mission Church?

Would be interested about the lives of contemplative religious. Do they move about as you describe? Also what are the lines of authority for sisters who serve in a parish?

May Holy Spirit be with all of you, God Bless ! 🎉❤🎉

4:54 OMG FATHER JOHN SHOUTOUT

this is great explanation, in my country, the religious priests are called "Monk priests" and they live in monasteries and report to their monastery "president" (for a lack of a better word) while Diocesan priests are called "Parish priests", when they are ordained, they are immediately assigned an altar (parish) to server, they usually live in the parish that they are currently serving and they remain within the boundaries of their Bishop's authority.

i always thought the black white collar was just modern, like ties or dress suilts lol learnt something today

Thank you so much. Could you explain the difference between the "order" (like Franciscans) and the "Company", the Jesuits, to be specific? Thanks again and God bless!

What happened to Priests React?? I love watching those videos and now they are just gone...

Great video! I was called to the stability of the secular priesthood. BTW, I've never worn a clergy shirt and suit. I've always worn a cassock in my 34 years of priesthood.

Thanks for this, Father Casey! Could you also please talk about how much say religious priests and diocesan priests have in where they’re assigned? Particularly in terms of someone who’s maybe being called to religious life, but wants to stay nearby their elderly parents. Also, if you’re immune compromised, can you ask to be assigned somewhere lower risk, germ-wise? And can any type of priest bring their pet, like a cat, with them (to where they’d be living)? I hope those aren’t stupid questions 😅

❤ From the holy land is was very good video

Thanks for this Fr Casey! The photo in 0:03 might be confusing as Jesuits, which is a religious order, wear that attire as well. :)

I am currently discerning vocation to priesthood and praying for the lord to guide me... which order am I called to? That is the question I face now... I feel a calling towards medicant orders, capuchins to be precise... Please keep me in your prayers.

But in reality, the relationship is often not as ideal as shown here. In my home parish, the Diocesan and religious orders play tug of war to control "richer" parishes, in order to fulfill their respective income. Not as bad as in Medjugorje, but I really hope and pray that they can resolve it amicably...

wow thank you for that... i am not a Catholic.. but i am a Christian from the outside... its informative.. of things such as these... Why did you go the route you did? The easy answer was "called" but ... how do you know a calling if there kind of is a structure to it? how would you be called to a structure?

What happened to quote upon friar review?

How do priests determine to which type of priesthood they are called? Is there a discernment process?

I think priests look wonderful in them!

This is awesome. The only thing I'd add is the history of the priesthood. The offices of Episkopos (Bishop), Presbuteros (Priest), and Diakonos (Decon) goes back to the time of the Apostles. The Apostles were the first Episkopos, which in the bible usually gets translated as "overseer" As we see on the beginning of Acts chapter 6 this is how Bishops were Ordained. And we see through documented history that this is how all Bishops have been Ordained for over 2000 years by another Bishop. So every Bishop in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches are successors of the Apostles. As far as the history of the Franciscan Order, Fr. Casey in this video would be a much better person to explain. As much as I'd like to be a Secular Franciscan, I'm currently not available on Tuesday evenings to attend the Franciscan meetings.

When the church needs a new Bishop, a priest is chosen and he is ordained a Bishop. Bishops still do thier job as priests, celebrating the mass, but they also have new duties they have to attend to.
