Iudaes 1087 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) THE ASCENSION TO THE CLOTHRecruitment of a New Generation of Priests With the Permit of the High Pontiff His Holiness James II Overseen by Prelate Manfried Cardinal St. Julia You find yourself enveloped in serene silence as you enter the Basilica of the Final Revelation, the home of the Prelate for the Priesthood. To your surprise, despite the silence, a few parishioners dot the rows of pews, their knees upon the ground and their elbows raised high above the back of the pew before them in prayer. And too, at the altar kneels an aging Priest, joining in prayer along with the laymen behind him. The silence is broken as your footsteps echo throughout the pristine halls of the Basilica, to which the parishioners do not bat an eye, besides the small child who kneels next to his mother, looking to you in some desperate search to end his boredom. As you approach the Father at the altar, he turns at your footsteps, a small smile befalling his once solemn visage as he looks you up and down before rising and moving to receive you. With open arms, a “Brother.” escapes his lips before his hands fall to his sides and a nod is offered. You soon explain to him your wish to join the Priesthood, to which his smile merely brightens with each word. He dips his head once more and with a gesture, he leads you quietly up to the higher levels of the Basilica, to which the distracted child’s gaze merely follows as you depart. Once you sit, you entertain a small conversation with the Priest, one of which great enthusiasm on the part of the ordained man is spoken of in regards to the clergy before he takes up pen and paper and begins to ask you a few questions. “Very well, brother. We shall begin quite simply. What is your name?” {Answer} “And your age?” {Answer} “I know it may be clear, heh, but it is for the sake of records. What race of the descendants are you of?” {Answer} “You are able to read and write, yes?” {Answer} “And with that, are you at all familiar with the Holy Scrolls and Catechism of our Church?” {Answer} “You are of course baptized?” {Answer} “Good, good. Are you married? Do you have children?” {Answer} “In what way of the clergy do you wish to serve? As a Priest, a Monastic?” {Answer} “While this may not be accepted by the Prelate, depending on the needs of the Church, in what Diocese would you prefer to serve in? You can simply name a city or Kingdom.” {Answer} “A rather personal question, why have you chosen to walk this path in God?” {Answer} “And at last, are you truly devoted to this way of life? Prepared to take any vows involved with ordination and commit oneself to this lifetime bond with the Lord Almighty?” {Answer} “Wonderful, then that should be all.” he says as he gestures you out of the office with a smile, “This shall be brought to His Eminence, Manfried. You shall hear word of your acceptance and placement soon enough.” he nods before saying finally, “God bless you.” as you walk out and say so in return. And with that, you depart from the Basilica, awaiting the letter from the Prelate which states your acceptance and diocean assignment. A letter that shall change your life for what you believe will be the better.
