There is no such thing as the diocesan order of the priesthood. Diocesan priests are distinct from order priests(Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, etc.). Diocesan priests serve within the diocese for which they are ordained. Most states have 3 - 5 diocese. If you are serious about being a priest than you should speak with the priest at your parish.

The chat room is not the place to get good answers for your question; if you are serious in becoming a priest, you should contact the Central Florida dioceses.
So why would you want to become a diocesan priest if you know nothing about the order????? I think you are a joker!

Contact the Office of Vocations in your diocese. They will answer all your questions and let you know what your next steps will be.
With love in Christ.

The preisthood isn't something you can join. It's the power of God, given to man to act in his name. You can't get the priesthood from someone who doesn't have it. It was given to Peter from Christ and passed down from there until the world was so corrupt the priesthood was taken from the face of the earth. Then Christ's church was restored, Peter again bestowed the priesthood on man. You won't find it in the Catholic church.

The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult.
If you want to be one of them, then you don't want to serve God.

Why would you want to be part of a cult that will end up sending you to hell?
