What was the process that leads the priest from a follower to a leader?
-If you are a truly believer, then we must struggle and learn a lot about god and the bible. Usually, if you want to be a priest, the followers will have to study hard and study forever about Christianity, and then we can become priests. Churches often have festivals to celebrate the anniversary of 35 years being a priest. Often the memories that the church have will recruit new priests.
Have there been any situations when you are not sure about your belief?
-With me, never. According to my life, if I want to be a part of Catholicism, we must have faith in our religion. If you do not have faith your religion, then you are not a 100% follower. If you are true followers, you will believe in Jesus and believe in Catholicism.
Why did you choose to believe in Christianity over the others?
-When I was a little boy, my parents are Catholic and my parents brought me to the church so that I can be baptized. And so I was taught to believe in Christianity. Almost every kid will follow their parents’ religion because as soon as they were born, their parent will decide their child’s religion.
What does it take to be a good priest and a good leader?
- If he has become a priest then he must enforce the laws of God. In the Bible there are many rules and so the priests must follow so that will be able to become a good leader. Is not easy to become a good priest, you must learn and communicate with gods every day.
Can other change their religion and be part of Christianity?
-Of course. Jesus created everything, he create human, environment, animals…. Jesus will always welcome everybody to be part of Christianity.
How do the priests convert someone to be a part of the religion?
-The priest usually encouraged people to be part of Christianity by teaching them about it. He would read the bible, explain to people about how Jesus created everything.
How do the priests communicate with Jesus?
-The monks and priests normally contact with Jesus through prayer. Many times Jesus appears right in front of our eyes. God can appear in many possible formats. Like in dream, into a man, into the trees, an animal, a picture ... For example: If we see a cross between the sun, we can see it as a sign of God. Not everyone can meet the Jesus.
What do you think about the situation in Middle East when Christianity and other religion fight for the holy land?
-I don’t really know what happen but I think that Judaism, Islamic and Christianity should not fight for the holy land. If you really believe in your religion, really believe in your gods and goddess, then everywhere in the world will be the holy land.
Do you have a solution to the problem in the Middle East?
-In my opinion, I think that we should not fight and kill each other like that. I think that we should share the land because if we fight like this, soon the 3 religions will have serious problem with each other. We need to respect each other and each other religion.
If we’re a follower, then will we go to the church several times?
-Well, if you are a follower, you must come to the church once a week. Or maybe you can come to the church to pray or to communicate with gods. You can come to the church on holy days like: Christmas, Baptism, Easter…
