I have accepted my calling and have decided to enter the priesthood after high school. I can't decide what kind of priest I want to be. I have been thinking of how complex we have made our lives that a vow of poverty sounds pretty good. I have looked at the orders but can't decide, can someone give me a order that fits the things below. 1. If the Church says so it's final no if, ands, or buts. 2. Can visit family regularly. 3. Chance to travel (Rome in particular ). 4. Great emphasis on learning (history, philosophy, Latin, canon law, etc..). 5. Can become a priest not a monk or friar. 6. Chance of becoming a Bishop. I have desire to receive the fullness of my vocation (Fulton Sheen prayed to become a Bishop for the same reasons ). 7. Could be allowed to be a Military Chaplain. I am thinking of the Jesuits but I hear they tend to punish some priests for being to orthodox I would really appreciate your opinions please
