There are many types of prayer in the Church. Prayer plays a large role in the Church because it is our way to communicate with God. Some of the forms of prayer are meditative, group prayer (such as mass), prayer of Thanksgiving, prayer of intercession, and prayer of petition. We as humans can only communicate with God through prayer and there for use different forms of prayer to talk to him.

The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive
The quote "The Glory of God is man fully alive." was said by St. Irenaeus. St. Irenaeus was a second century saint. He was a Bishop in the Church of Lyons. Now back to the quote. The idea that the Glory of God is man fully alive has been debated.
The thought that man can decide the Glory of God seems to be overstepping our boundaries. It makes it seem like we are deciding how glorious God is even though His glory cannot be decided by us. Man cannot come to know God but with this quote it makes it look like we are capable of coming to know him.

More men are joining the seminary in recent years. Priests have a large in the Catholic Church. They are to lead their Parish. They must serve all members of their Parish and are to be their Father.
Here is a video about the call to Priesthood.

Antinomianism
Antinomianism is the belief that there are no laws God expects Christians to obey. This belief is against the Church because the Church believes that the one can achieve Heaven through God's Grace and through their works. A Christian must represent God in all that they do. This means that they must have laws to follow in order to be able to represent him properly.
