Best Answer

Priests must make a promise of celibacy when they are ordained a deacon. A religious priest previously would have made vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, OR Stability, Conversatio Morum, and Obedience depending on his Order. To be ordained a priest, no vows are required except a promise of obedience to your bishop and his successors.

What vows does a pope take?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic is a slur that was started in England after the protestant revolt, it is meaningless in the Catholic Church unless you are referring to the Latin Rite, which is properly called the Latin Rite, not the Roman Rite. There are no vows that every Catholic makes, every Catholic makes promises when he is baptized, or they are made in his name if he is under age. The only vows, properly so called, are the vows of religious. There are three made by monastics: conversatio morum (roughly conversion of manners), stability, and obedience. There are three made by religious that are not monastics: poverty, chastity, and obedience (known as the evangelical counsels).

The Catholic wedding vows have never included the promise to obey.

In the Catholic vows, both parties promise "to love and to cherish."

Does reconfirmation of wedding vows mean you have been married in the Catholic Church?

Yes it does. If, for example, you were married in a civil ceremony, the Church does not recognize that as sacramental matrimony and you must 'regularize' that marriage with the Church by confirming your wedding vows before a priest or a deacon. Some couples who have been validly married in the Church for many years will renew their wedding vows also, even though they have been validly married for years.


What former priest disagreed with many things the Catholic church did?

Martin Luther is probably the most famous priest to break all his solemn vows, including his baptismal and confirmation vows, and to openly criticize the Church and his religious superiors whom he had taken a solemn lifelong vow to obey. Please remember him in your prayers, not to mention the generations of innocent people he has led astray and denied Christ's sacraments to through his misguided mission.

What is the role of a priest in a Catholic Church?

The most important role of the priest is to perform mass. Without a priest, we could have no communion. A deacon can do almost everything else a priest can do, but only a priest (or higher) may perform transubstantiation (the miracle of turning bread into the body of Christ).
