It's been a year and we are still together.
He wants to leave the Catholic priesthood for me in order to be together

@Beth555,
Er, you do realize that if he stays a priest, that your relationship will be under wraps and can never lead to marriage, yes?

And that there are literally hundreds of other jobs that he could do, yes?

@jespah,
Yes I do realize and I know. Altough I would feel bad if left the priesthood for me only, he should leave it because he wants to change his life completely not because of me so I could feel releived

@Beth555,
I'm sure from your boyfriend's point of view, God is expected to test him to see if he really should be taking his vows and you are part of that test. Consider yourself an instrument of God's will. If your boyfriend is willing forego his vows for you, he is not meant to take them.

the only thing more pathetic than a christian is the chief sychophant who teaches the others how to grovel.
So id appeal to his cowardly nature.

I think it was an ethical abuse from him that he has been with you for a year, we can start it here. So he clearly is not a priest to stay. No harm but it is true, sure you've had much more than just talking🙂 So.. I think you should let him to leave the priesthood. I used to be a priest so I know what I'm talking about😊

@Lion909,
Call NY and get a train filled with diesel. We'll legal and get private security out for pictures and guns on the doors.

He could investigate joining the Episcopal Church, which is more open-minded concerning the marriage of priests. Leaving the Catholic church does not mean he has to leave the profession. There is also a Unitarianism to consider, which is very open-minded spiritually.
