JOINING THE PRIESTHOOD

[thesmellypocket 1859]

 

A rather sad but kindly looking man walks in. He is dressed plainly and utterly without ostentation, and, although young, he walks and talks as if an older man, with an immaculate politeness.

 

Well, what’s your name?

Edmund Jutkiewicz, sir. 

Aye. And from whence do you hail?

Reza.

Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived?

Twenty-three.

Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.

Probably because I am half Marian, I should suspect. My father was Marian, and my mother is a Courlander. 

Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?

Yes.

Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?

No.

They call Sixtus the Third ‘the Lewd’ for having two bastards. Don’t be like him. Have you got anything against taking oaths?

No.

You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s all the way off in Pembroke, at least a day’s trip. Give him a while.

“To Mister von Holst,

 

Your interest in the clergy and in the faith is noted and appreciated, and as a man of Haense you should seek out the good Archbishop of Reza ((@yopplwasupxxx)) , or if you are unable, do find me at Varoche in Ves, Kaedrin to sort out your acolyteship. 

 

Signed

Godwin Cardinal Kaedrin

Prelate of the Priesthood”

Well, what’s your name?

“Auban, mon seigneur”

Aye. And from whence do you hail?

“Auvergne”

Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived?

“I’ve seen 19 winters, sir”

Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.

The man would look puzzled before answering “Auvergnais”

Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?

“Yessir”

Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?

“No, no”

“I’ve no contempt for oaths, especially those made before and for the benefit of GOD”

You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s up the mountain inside Varoche Palace. Short trip.

Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.

“I have been told I have the features of a Heartlander; so, I suppose from the Heartlands.”

Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?

“Yes, I was taught my letters.”

Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?

“Nobody.”

“An oath is just a contract without the signature. I have no reason to oppose making one.”

((I have returned lol))

 

A tiny seven year old boy, a poor, scrawny wretch in rags, enters the office. He seems nervous and carries with him a prayerful respect; he carries a Rosary which he prays with a tender affection as he waits. After being called up, he answers the questions.

 

 

Well, what’s your name?

‘Julius Rosarii Sancti Christophori, sir. Or just Julius Rosarii. I want to be a missionary and a martyr! Can you help me?’ He pleas with a perfect innocence.

Aye. And from whence do you hail?

‘I’m from the capital, sir.’

Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived?

‘Seven – and a half! Honest!’

Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.

‘Savoyard.’

Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?

‘Yes, the same priest who taught me catechism taught me reading!’

Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?

‘No. Consumption took my family to our Master. My mother said, don’t fret. And, taking up an icon of Saint Julia, said: ‘behold thy Mother.’ Mother Julia is my Mother and protectress! That’s what my name means: Julius of the Rosary of Saint Kristoff.’

They call Sixtus the Third ‘the Lewd’ for having two bastards. Don’t be like him. Have you got anything against taking oaths?

‘No, I belong to God!’

You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s up the mountain inside Varoche Palace. Short trip.
