For Roman Catholics, the beginning of the priesthood is a process of formation that can last for years before entering seminary. If he is Roman Catholic, I would recommend he begin speaking with his local pastor or diocesan office and express his desire to enter the priesthood. From there it will be a process of spiritual formation for them to determine whether or not he is a suitable candidate. The candidacy process lasts for years, so be prepared for that. There is also the diaconate in some Dioceses which is also an ordained order that is one step below the priesthood. In general, pastoral positions are difficult for anyone with ASD to enter because of the socially intense component and require a great deal more prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit.(less)

Why I Translate the Books of the New Testament from Scratch Again and Again and Again

I've translated through every book of the New Testament at least twice. Most of them I've done at least four or five times. Some, like Romans, I've lost count of how many times I've translated through it completely fresh.

Why do I do this?

Because every time I put it away and start again fresh I see something I didn't see before. Every time I go back and check the lexical definitions of
