Actually becoming a monk requires two things: \n1. Having a call from God.\n2. Accepting this call.\n\nTo verify if you are really called, you should pray and also talk to a catholic priest. \nAccepting God's call is done by you. What a joy and proud is to say Yes to God. It is a real test of our love for God.\nAfter that you should know what order (fransiscan, carmelite, jesuits,...) does God call you to be in. Then you see what are the requirements of that specific order (usually they are not that big deal). \nA monk has three vows: poverty, chastity and obedience.\nFor more help, you can e-mail me at volunteer4u_85@yahoo.com

He is a citizen of a republic and could not accept a titular honour. However he has already received an honorary Order of Merit from the Queen, which in my opinion is much better. There are over 1000 knights, some of doubtful worth, but only 24 holders of the OM. It is the highest of the honours which do not come with a title, and the overall quality of its membership is higher than that of the orders of knighthood. All of its holders are very distinguished.

The Knights Templar were founded as a group supposedly to help the folks who were doing pilgrimage to the Holy Land. They set up their headquarters in the supposed stables of King Solomon's Temple. Of course, Solomon's Temple had been destroyed long before, where they were was actually Herod's reconstructed temple -- still destroyed but the most recent. They may have found something there in the ruins. We are not sure.\n\nThey went from being a small band of knights to becoming very wealthy, the equivalent of bankers of the Middle Ages. Eventually, that wealth attracted the envious eyes of a strong King: Philip la Belle (the good looking) of France. He had just managed to buy a Pope (Clement) and decided to take over the Templars. Under sealed orders Philip had all the Templars arrested. Some escaped (supposedly to Scotland and to Spain). The loot went with the escapees. The head of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, was roasted on a fire but not before he cursed King Philip and Pope Clement. Both died within a year of Jacques' death.\n\nThere are some records of fighters looking like Templars showing up in Scotland fighting on the side of Robert the Bruce. This is in the 1300s. Then the rumors sort of died down. Funny thing, the Templar battle flag had a funny cross on it. You have seen it in your grade school history books on the sails of Columus' ships. Oh, they never did find the Templar fleet either.\n\nCenturies later a flamboyant Freemason named Chevalier Ramsey claimed that Freemasonry really was the heir to the Knights Templar. The French (who had long since spit on Philip's grave) ate that up and decided that a Knight Templar degree would be cool. There were many more degrees instituted ontop of the regular three (possibly four if you count the Mark degree) Blue Lodge of Freemasonry degrees. \n\nNow Rosslyn Chapel does have some good ties to Masonry and Templarism. Some even have found Templar graves on the coast of Scotland. Another bunch of authors think that the Shroud of Turin was created by the torturing of Jacques de Molay.\n\nSomehow most of it will remain speculation. But it is fun to read about. When you reach 21 years of age and if you are interested, feel free to knock on the door of Freemasonry and ask to join. Co-Masonry admits women and men. Even before then, most Lodges will allow you to use their libraries. I think all Masons are interested in such.\n\nA Master Mason\nAmerican Co-Masonry\n\nHiram Lodge (Santa Cruz, CA)\nAmon Ra Lodge (Los Angeles, CA)\nSapientia Lodge of Research (Larkspur, CO)\nAdamant Mark Lodge (Santa Cruz, CA)

Okay, first there are multiple sets of rule depending on whose jurisdiction you are under.\n\nAssuming that you are a Catholic unmarried male under the Patriarchate of Rome, then you must remain celebate for the rest of your life, dedicating your life only to serving God.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are a married or unmarried male of one of the Byzantine Metropolia or Patriarchates, then you can become a priest, but not remarry if your spouse would die.\n\nThe other 20 odd self governing segments of the Catholic Church have their own rules.  I don't know what they do.  I believe some require celebacy and some do not.\n\nThe rules are an issue of discipline not an issue of belief.  No one has a right to be selected to serve a bishop in the presbyterate.  If you believe you are called then you could serve, but you have no "right," to serve unless you are ordained to do so.  Local rules determine who can and cannot be a priest.\n\nAdditionally, rules in Catholicism are generally thought of best as norms rather than laws.  The Roman Catholic Church certainly has married men serving as priests, primarily former Anglican priests who switched.  Likewise, Byzantine priests who are widowed with children really need a wife pragmatically.  Consequently, there are rules to permit marriage as well.\n\nNonetheless, all Christians are obliged to practice chastity.  Of course if you are married that means you need to have sex with your spouse and if you are unmarried you must not have sex with anyone.  Priests actually promise never to marry, as such, they must be celebate.

Actions speak louder than words.\n\nEver seen A Knight's Tale?  He loses for her, rather than winning, like every other guy promises.  Some sort of sacrifice would show you're serious.

James,\nYour travels in Masonry have already begun.  In your heart you know that you want to be a Freemason.  Because the fraternity does not evangelize in any way we never ask anyone to become a Mason.  Every member has joined of his own freewill and has not been persuaded to become a member.  Your own Grandfather followed this rule and never asked you to join his lodge.\n\nSearch out the most respected members of your community and you will find that they are probably Freemasons.  Tell your desire to one of these men and he will secure for you a petition to the lodge.  A committee of inquiry will call on you at your home to make sure that your desires are true,  that you are a respected member of the community and worthy to become a Mason.   If the committee approves of you; the entire lodge will be notified and you must pass a unanimous ballot.  If any member of the lodge feels that you are unworthy; you will never become a member of the lodge as long as the objection exists.\n\nAs a member you will be part of the world's oldest and greatest fraternity.  You will find charitable needs and causes, education, fellowship, and friendship.  One of the greatest gifts a man can give to another is to help him become a Mason.  I hope that I am responding in such a way that I can give this gift to you.

It is a basic list of rules to follow.  Like most sets of rules, a person can choose to follow them or not.  It is like any other code.  Stories are told of knights and the round table with their code.  There is the old fashioned "code of the West".  Then there are codes for professionals.

The correct answer would be taking all the political science classes in school then getting a Political major degree or Political law intern with your local city consul committee.etc.  The funny correct answer is making sure you are dumber than the Pres. and can agree on everything that his father tells you to do oops I mean his mother tells you to do.

The same way that you become a Jedi Knight - put it on the Census form.  \n\nYou will have to choose a holy day - Jedi's celebrate May the Fourth, you will have to choose a suitable Ewok day.

Absolutley nothing (generally).\n\nThere are several orders of knighthood, and with most of them the only benefit is being addressed as "Sir."\n\nIn some cases, someone who is knighted may be appointed to the house of lords, but this is seperate, and confers on its own.

try the post office. you usually will have to take a test to get on, but afterwards they will teach/train you how to do the job and even if you do not start off with your "40k", you will have great benefits. now it is not perfect, like for instance you may have to start off working the nightshift, but hey i have'nt foud a perfect job yet. try a temporary job at the post office to see if  you will like that type of work. not everybody does. good luck friend.

Hope this helps:\n\n"All of the current rank titles originated in Europe during the Middle Ages, the Dark Ages. The continent was under the thumb of a feudal society and warfare was the way of life. Lords battled for their sovereigns to gain loot, land and fame. Knights fought for their liege lords for loot, shelter and a measure of loyalty. The common folk went to war for their landlord because they had no choice in the matter. This was long before private, professional armies or nationalistic fervor. If you wanted somewhere to live and something to eat you either fought or became a priest. \n\nPrivate:  having attained no title of rank, a 'private soldier'.  \nCorporal:  influenced by 'corps'; head, chief.  \nSergeant:  servant; attendant upon a knight in the field.  \nLieutenant:  an officer representing and exercising powers on behalf of his lord or sovereign.  \nCaptain:  an officer entrusted with a command or fort under a sovereign or general.  \nColonel:  an officer commanding a 'column' of soldiers and support trains.  \nGeneral:  originally meant to be of similar 'birth' or 'class' with the sovereign; the more recent use is to be familiar with all facets of the army, no longer a specialist in one area, a 'general officer'."\n\n\nOh yeah, in case any marines are wondering where "Lance Corporal" came from, back then infantry were known as "Lances" while Corporals rode on horseback. When a corporal was struck from his horse somehow and the horse was no longer rideable or ran off, they would join the ranks of the infantry. They were still of superior rank but did the same jobs as the lances, they were then known as Lance Corporals to distinguish them from the others.
