/r/Catholicism is a place to present new developments in the world of Catholicism, discuss theological teachings of the Catholic Church, provide an avenue for reasonable dialogue amongst people of all beliefs, and grow in our own spirituality. Catholic Christianity offers the world the fullness of the Christian Faith.
I have strong desire for monastic living. I want nothing more than to "die" to the world and embrace only a simple life of solitude and prayer. Still the secular sinner in me also has other desires such as getting tattoos. More tattoos I should say, as I've already indulged in my own will unfortunately. My question is, have I already ruined my chances at living out my calling? Can priests and nuns still serve God and His church despite the life they have lived prior?
