So I have this very good friend of mine whom we've been very close friends right from childhood. While he went on to become a catholic priest, I went and studied in the university.

Now the problem is, my wedding is coming up soonest and I have plans of using him as my best man since we've known each other for long.

Does the Catholic church permits priests to be a bestman at a wedding ceremony?

Kindly move to FP for a wider view and opinions please

sure it has happened before

He is a man and human so it's very much allowed
Don't let things like this disturb u. U are d one marrying not Him
Now are u sick and in dire straits...find ur way to the living Faith church cananland OTA. Time is 11:45 am. Papa Oyedepo will be anoiting everyone that comes in that service. Bring your anointing oil and ur family and friends. Congratulations

I'm not a catholic but I don't see anything wrong in that....best man role is usually for a single guy and most catholic priests are single.

Yes

Why don't you ask that your friend who is a Catholic priest and understand his church doctrines more than me and you?

Must you bring everything online even when offline answers are the real deal

You've said it all!

Why not ask him directly.

Yeah, i hv seen it

Ask your friend. He is the most qualified person to answer your question.

I think it's permitted

Somebody will know....

Catholic priests are not single. They are all married. Make the guy look for someone else.

Fundamentally, it's impossible.
The roles of best man and chief bridesmaid traditionally signify that you're next in line.

Therefore, since your friend would not marry, he shouldn't serve as your best man.

If they can be a god father to kids during baptism, sure they can

wtf

it's like asking a dog to be your best man !!! u know that's crazy to start with

Your catholic priest friend is in the best place to answer that question

... don't mind him

Mnhh... Bestie whala

Ask him (your priest friend)

I'm coming let me go ask the Pope

Ok

If Catholics priests can men and women together during weddings, they can as well be bestmen and chief bride maids for others.

Ask your best friend if such is allowed in the church.
