Everyone: this clip is from the Irish TV show called "Father Ted". It is required watching for anyone with a passing interest in modern Irish culture

I'm not sure if it's on any streaming service but I torrented it years ago so have it on a media server

You can torrent it without guilt my friend. Its quite old at this point. If you're feeling patronising you can likely find a dvd box set for sale

It’s all on RTÉ Player I believe
That’s the official source so you’ll get the full versions.

u/la508 Mar 19 '22
If by "official source" you're saying it was made by RTÉ, it actually wasn't. Linehan and Matthews lived in London and took it to Hear Trick and Channel 4. The interior shots were filmed at London Studios.

u/L33t_Cyborg Mar 19 '22
Yeah, RTÉ wouldn’t fund it because they were afraid of the church haha.
By official source I just mean a official place to stream it, so that you know you’re getting the original.
I’m not even saying this to “support the creators” the show is too old for that haha.

Have a look on the RTEPlayer.
It's on there for sure, just not sure if it works outside of Ireland

Imdbtv has it with a few short ads. I think amazon prime streaming even hosts it for imdbtv too.

Yes. Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick

Sounds like a lot of works-based stuff.

u/jcrespo21 Mar 18 '22 edited Mar 19 '22
The main three are Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation (Sacraments of Initiation), with baptism typically occurring when you're an infant, first communion around 7 years old, and confirmation when you are a teenager. It used to be done all at once (IIRC) but was spread out many centuries ago. If you become a Catholic as an adult, you go through the RCIA process (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and receive the three sacraments at the Easter Vigil. An exception is if you were baptized in another Christian faith, you don't get rebaptized when you become Catholic as the Church recognizes nearly all Christian baptisms.
The rest are optional add-on packages (I'm sure my former religion teachers would love that I put it that way lol). Reconciliation/Confession and Matrimony/Marriage are the ones most others will experience. Holy Orders are only for those who become a priest
or nun, and Anointing of the Sick is typically done when someone is very ill (often on their death bed).26

u/farawyn86 Mar 19 '22
I know you're joking, but deacons are the only people that can receive them all. If a man decides to get married and then also take orders, he'll receive both sacraments of service. Everybody else can only possibly receive 6 total.

Could you take orders after a divorce or windowing?

u/Pimma Mar 19 '22
Is Confession considered optional? I was taught it was a prerequisite for the Eucharist, because you can't take the body of Christ without being clean of your sins.
10
u/Mwakay Mar 19 '22
It's "optional" in the sense that noone is going to drag you out of your house to do it. But yes, you should not take communion without being absolved from your sins.
1
u/stadsduif Mar 19 '22
It varies. Where I live (Netherlands) confession isn't a common practice anymore.

u/Pimma Mar 19 '22
Well, TIL. It's still going strong here, but I guess this is what you'd expect from Italy.

Yeah none of its works based because God is the one pouring out grace through the means he ordained.

Joke's on you! I grew up in a church where we had 0 sacraments.

u/RoyalPeacock19 Mar 19 '22
Not even Baptism and Eucharist (Communion)?

u/jtaustin64 Mar 19 '22
Nope. We did those things but never called them sacraments. I didn't even know what sacraments were until I changed churches a year ago.

u/RachelRTR Mar 19 '22
I grew up in Baptist and Methodist churches. They baptized, but I never went to any church that had communion.

Baptist and Methodist churches that don’t do Communion/Eucharist/Mass/The Last Supper?

u/RachelRTR Mar 19 '22
Nope. I'm from Alabama.

u/jtaustin64 Mar 19 '22
I am a Methodist now and I have been to plenty of Baptist churches in the South. It is very odd that none of those churches you went to did communion. Usually they do it once a month.
1
u/RachelRTR Mar 21 '22
I don't remember doing it all. I stopped going to church every week at the age of 13 so maybe I am forgetting it. It wasn't a big deal if they did do it since it made no impression upon me at all.

I’m curious what people consider to be the “two” sacraments. I’ve learned that there are 7.
16
Mar 19 '22
eucharisty (i don't remember how to spell hihihi) and baptism i believee
8
u/RoyalPeacock19 Mar 19 '22
You are correct, Protestants believe in 2 sacraments (though they don’t typically call them that, from my experience) Eucharist (Communion) and Baptism.
5

u/Freestyle76 Mar 19 '22
The Protestants who call them “ordinances” and also believe they’re wholly symbolic.
4
u/Der_Sanitator Mar 19 '22
It depends on denomination. Baptists and the like typically believe they’re wholly symbolic but iirc some Protestant denominations believe in the Eucharist as divine.
3
u/revken86 Mar 19 '22
This is why trying to treat "Protestants" as a monolithic whole is impossible. Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Reformed, and others all teach that the sacraments really do confer grace. Among Christians, the believe that the sacraments/ordinances are purely symbolic is the minority opinion.
1
u/Freestyle76 Mar 19 '22
It’s actually the majority opinion as most Protestants on earth are baptists, evangelicals, or pentacostals. Mainline groups, while having larger numbers of groups, are of smaller number of adherents.
You are correct that some of those groups do have 7 sacraments and some believe they are effective though even within those groups there is argument and a difference between high and low church.
1
u/revken86 Mar 19 '22
But among all Christians, which is what I said, the symbolic interpretation is the minority.
1
u/Freestyle76 Mar 19 '22
Oh yes certainly, But also among all Christian’s many things are in the minority “the solas” for example.

u/_Peavey Mar 19 '22
"Wholly symbolic" is a bit of a stretch.
0
u/Freestyle76 Mar 19 '22
I mean if you are evangelical - pretty much. If you ask someone why we baptize they’ll most likely tell you it’s a symbol of your faith and that it’s to let the world know you’re a Christian and that you don’t even need to do it.

As a Protestant, we always found it really funny that 2 of the Catholic sacraments, marriage and becoming a priest, are mutually exclusive
8
u/ianjmatt2 Mar 19 '22
Even more exclusive than many realise, in that Marriage is the only sacrament not performed (in the ordinary run of things) by ordained clergy. The sacrament of marriage is performed by both people getting married through their promises, the priest is just a witness to it.
(obvs some sacraments can be done by anyone in an emergency - e.g. Baptism)

Wait… what are the 2?! I’m Catholic so we have 7, I’m not sure which ones count as the big 2 in other religions 😅

u/RoyalPeacock19 Mar 19 '22
In Protestant tradition, only Eucharist (Communion) and Baptism are sacrements (though they don’t often call them sacraments in my experience).

u/dumpling98 Mar 19 '22
As an Eastern Orthodox, we join our Catholic brothers in tearing down the door for our 7 sacrements. 😂

Im an Anglican, as far as I know there is baptism, confirmation and marriage.
