If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
(Luke 14:27)
Is it immoral to leave your wife and family to become a monk?

Nicaenum II. states:
>If there are persons who wish to renounce the world and follow the monastic life along with their relatives, the men should go off to a male monastery and their wives enter a female monastery, for God is surely pleased with this.

Yes, unless your children are self-sufficient adults and your wife agrees/joins you/dies. You've taken wedding vows and you have to fullfil them.

1 Timothy 5:8
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Becoming a monk in the first place is not biblical so abandoning your wife to be a monk is definitely doubly wrong because you are going to abandon your wife for something that is not even biblical.

They did it in Acts:
>And all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need.
>Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.
We see that monasticism is contained in the new testament in its kernal and potentiality.

I wonder about this. My wife is a God hating pagan and my child is working hard on becoming a homeless woman when she grows up.
I don't think I'm helping them, just preventing them from being homeless.
The Church doesn't even think I'm married by church law. I bet if I went to an SSPX parish Priest, he'd tell me to legally divorce her and move out.
I thought about becoming a Monk… not sure how. Do they need engineers?

Church tradition. Not everything Jesus taught is in the Bible.

How does this work, when Sola Scripta runs into a logical contradiction?

Sorry, but you come off as prideful.

How so? Church law is that you don't marry a non-Catholic. 70 years ago, a catholic who married a non Catholic had to get a civil divorce, as that was not recognized by the Church. My wife literally hates God, is degenerate and says she's a pagan.
Why is it prideful to lose half of all that I've earned (she's never worked) and become a monk?

Mind you, by Church law, his household would be Christian. I'm essentially a convert. My household isn't.
