I looked into it after the Pope died, and witnessing Pope Leo in St Peter's Square after the inauguration, and I realized that priesthood is not for me. Why? I still like having my own money. I'll finish this book soon and discern other ways to serve besides from priesthood.

Chapter 18 reviewed specialized assignments that a bishop can appoint a priest to, such as chancellor, vocations director, or a member of the diocesan curia. Then they are also chaplains for hospitals, catholic schools, and even the military.

Chapter 17 covered the prerequisites to become a priest, and also the chapter discussed the canonical and non-canonical impediments that might delay a candidate's ordination. He says not to be discouraged, as long as you're honest, you can receive an episcopal or papal dispensation.

Chapter 16 covered what seminary is like and what classes a person might take during certain years. Father Brett also spoke on the importance of the 4 principles of formation that seminarians should follow and keep improving on during their time in the seminary. He also spoke on that it's okay to leave the seminary if God has determined you should not be a priest.
