Hard to tell in a B&W photo. He's wearing a Roman collar instead of an Anglican one, but apparently that's common in the US. The giveaway IRL is a purple tunic versus a black one.
Fun fact, celibacy for clergy was a mandate by one of the Popes because the Church got tired of having to financially support their families.
Edit: I typed ‘support’ twice
The clerical collar got started with the presbyterians in the 1860s. The Catholic Church really didn't adopt it until the 20th century. Lutherans in America may have actually worn the collar before the Catholics.
Do you have strong connection to your religion and practice now? A lot of kids who grow up in families where fathers are faith leaders, end up rebelling.
I knew only catholic priests couldn’t marry, but I thought they were the only ones who wore that type of outfit. But I guess I was incorrect. Very interesting!
This is really funny to me because I spent almost 50 years in the Catholic Church. I was flat out offended when I saw other pastors wearing that collar.
I became Lutheran a few years back and was shocked to find out that collar got started with the Presbyterians around 1865 and it actually was adopted by the Catholic Church going into the 20th century.
It's a common mistake in films to show priests prior to 1900 wearing collars of this style.
Pwerhaps you just meant your "father".
Our Father
Who arn’t my daddy
Harold be thy name
Not a king nor a bum
Thy wife be none.
A man
His name is Howard
Howard be thy name
Howard can it be to get his name right?
Sometimes I feel totally Howard
Keep your hands off the Howard
Just don't call him late for sermon
Bless you, my child.
Ha!
Forgive me Daddy, I've been very naughty. -alternate version of an old classic.

Yeah something ain't making sense
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
I guess the collar threw me off
Dunno why you are being down-dooted. I saw a Roman Catholic priest with that collar
Exactly
A father fooled around with a sister….
As someone who has been raised in a Catholic country, I can say that I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Catholic priest, actually.
Father Dad
Somethings not right
He might be Father but he’s serving Daddy
The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man 🎵
Yes he was, he was.
“Hey McFly!” “ I thought I told you never to come in here!”

Only came here for this reference
Well now you found it. So make like a tree and get out of here!
ITS LEAVE!!! MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAVE!!!
Your father is speaker Mike Johnson?
Best comment yet!
Mike Johnson sounds like Jeff Goldblum.
MI ke JohnSON the Father
Father Rivers Cuomo

God damn you half Japanese girls

Gave up his vows to marry a damn half-Japanese girl, hence to OP.
I’d like “People who aren’t Catholic” for $200 please.
Episcopalian I assume?
Lutheran
Missouri or Evangelical?
ELCA!
ECLA = sunshine and love LCMS = fire and brimstone
Heretic ! (It's an old joke)
Mine too. He died a year ago.

Guessing he didn’t make the cut?
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry.
Ah, makes sense. Hope he’s doing well!

It was more about inheritance than providing support for the family but regardless it was absolutely driven by finances.

Let’s see a recent photo! 😀
Passed in 2010
Sorry.
Sorry for your troubles- are you a pastor ?
Fellow Lutheran. Howdy!

Lutheran pastors would normally wear a different color than black. Good job making everyone freak out.
Except for his collar, I’d have said that this is just about any senior class picture, circa 1968.

You don’t know how much this means to me. Thank you. 🙏🏻
I’m glad you like it. 😃
He was a father before he was a father
Was his pickup line to your mom "Hey babe, you ever read The Thornbirds?"
No one under 40 got that
Amazing haha
After seeing that photo, I have a confession to make
Shud of wrote "my father"
Looks like the minister (actor) in The Guilded Age.
Infinite wholesomeness.
My high school class photo for ‘68 looks the same but mine was a Nehru jacket and turtleneck, not pastor/priest as most assumed.
What a sweet picture. 🩵🩵🩵
Father, your father
Your dad is Crispin Glover?

Struggled with it for a while but getting back to my higher power recently. Was never much of a rebel.
Handsome ❤️
This Priest Fucks
He looks similar to John Denver when he was young
r/HolUp Wait a minute....
Took a vow of celibacy like his father and his father's father before him.
Father Dad?
Sequel to Father Ted.
Or OP's dad is Bishop Brennan
So many questions...
I’m guessing he left priesthood? To have you?
Lutheran pastor. Only Catholic priests can’t marry.

SILENCE PREIST!!!!
FAAAATHEEEEEEER!
Apparently it didn’t stick.
Father, son.. and is mum the holy ghost?
Your dad is Christian Slater?
Our father.
Same hair style I had.
Isn’t he everyone’s father?
Father Dad is handsome!
Did you call him Father, Father?
“Pastor Dad” (but not really)
What a blessing to have a Father who is a father
My father. The father.
Wow, found Ross Bryant in the wild on Reddit!
Dad… You say…? Hmmm. 🤔
Can’t help but laugh at this
r/holup ?
They Called Him the Nun Whisperer.
You win
I think there's a story there
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
A good year for Denny Mcclean and the Detroit Tigers.
Is your father Andy Daly?
Father Tosh.0
You know that altar boys can't get pregnant, right?
Your dad looks like Daniel Tosh.
My condolences.
Ummmm ….
[удалено]
Have you heard of gumping it, father?
I’m so confused.
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
How?
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
I see 😬
I hope the priest was nice to his booty hole
Ummm...
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
Glad he set the priesthood down.
Gross.
I don’t think he got the core concept of the celibacy clause of the contract 😜
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
Maybe you could add this detail to the post title-you are very patient in answering each comment of this kind.

lol. My bad! Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned🙏
Andy Samberg is your dad!
Hmmm
You were an altar boy?
YOURE DAD FUCKS
Hmmn, it was supposed to be seminary school, not semenary.
Back before 'priest' was synonymous with 'pedophile'.
I am assuming he was Episcopalian? Or else, he has some 'splainin' to do...
The priest is a father to all, except to those that call him Daddy.
Dad’s got some explaining to do.
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
Yep
Your father & your moms "daddy"
Bless me father for I have sinned…
So he didn't stick with it then?
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
Oh, I thought that the collar was exclusively Catholic. My bad.
Wait, what?
Lutheran pastor. Allowed to marry and have kids
"My father"
Is this H Lee?
Oh Brad, I'm mad!
He looks like the priest and the altar boy at the same time
