ILOVEMARY Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) What do you think about [b]Roman Catholic [/b]priests wearing a ring on their left hand to signify they are married to the Church. Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks. Edited July 31, 2007 by ILOVEMARY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Punk Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I know 2 priest that wear that ring because they are married (Ordained in the Eastern Rite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aalpha1989 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 *shrugs* its at the discretion of the priest. rings aren't a necessary part of being married anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Makes no difference to me. Although if I were a priest I would get an ordination kayak instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resurrexi Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Right, but they are still a necessary part of the ceremony in the Roman Rite just like six candles are required for the celebration of High Mass even though they do not have anything to do with the validity of the Sacrament.
