I wouldn't be very worried if one of my girls wanted to be a priest. I don't think they take girls.
Seriously, but both of my children have at one time or another looked into religion with varying degrees of seriousness at various times. They've come back out a little more atheist than I am, for the simple reason that they haven't been raised christian. However, in the unlikely event they became catholic, and so catholic that they wished to be nuns, I'd be sad because contact between those in and out of orders is often limited and my girls have great potential outside of the church. I'd advise strongly against. I certainly wouldn't provide financial support for the decision. But they'd still be my girls.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
