Single never married woman here... Dont want a mate. No interest in sex. I like being single. I have a hard time living with other people in my space. But is it a vocation ? Not really, its just me.
If we go "overboard in loving the sinner", how about we get rid of the disgusting "intrinsically disordered" label we slap on them, as Cardinal McElroy and others have suggested. Pretty difficult to "feel loved" when those "loving" you are describing your love as... intrinsically disordered.
I just found this channel, and subscribed . But can you please have some Christian things in your set decor, like a Crucifix or Divine Mercy image. Theres nothing to show this is honoring Jesus Christ.
Interesting, though, as a newer believer, I was attracted to Catholicism for a variety of reasons. However, as I was hungrily feeding on the word of God, I found so many inconsistencies with Catholic teachings, primarily teachings regarding Mary and your view of the Pope, I could no longer go the Catholic route. Staying in the word of God protected me from Momonism in the same way.
The title is more than controversial :) Catholic eastern European here. Lived in america for 25 years, did not see any catholic thing in there. Im looking forward to learn something :)
Was hoping to find a link to the full discussion in this comment section. Tried searching at the channel. Too many videos. Gave up. Please consider pinning links to full discussions in short videos' comments.
"My Grandpa Is A Sherman, My Dad Is A "Sherman," He Burnt All His Sherman's Thing, And Give Up To Become A "Catholic." "I am A "Catholic," And Gives My "Heart & Soul" Body To "God" 'Through, With, And In'"Jesus Christ." Amen."
Read the latest scientific material about human sexuality. The church is facing another Galileo situation. With hands covering your eyes… you say… What elephant?
Dear Father, about that "There's no document that says that the Catholic Church..." let me quote Scripture "You recognize them by their fruits". As you video appeared on my feed I wanted to share an insight that led me out to be certain that the Catholic Church is hypocritical in his "embrace" of people like me. I left the Church last month, and become agnostic in the eve of my 30th birthday. This is not coming for a craddle catholic, is coming from a guy who spend the last 15 years in apologetics, prayed the rosary almost every day and never skipped Sunday mass unless a real emergency ocurred and that went to mass during the week when it was possible, that was raised in Opus Dei conservative catholicism, defending Church teaching and history against its "enemies" and when homosexuality comes I was the guy who in collage actively opposed gay marriage legislation and promoted Courage,a guy who saw like 5 times the documentary "Desire for everlasting hills", in fact a guy that was deeply convinced I even when so far to translate Daniel Mattson's book from English to Spanish totally free, I would also got in touch with one of the first man to appear as this "faithful catholic" on living with SSA (I don't want to discourage you but this lovely guy no longer helds the Church position; although the documentary still features him to this day) and the "beauty" of the Cathecism. So this is not coming from an stranger on trying to "attack" the faith. Why I think the Church doesn't really care about gay people: - During John Paul II's pontificate, even though he gave more than 3,000 speeches, there is not a single one where he called catholics to not discriminate against homosexuals (in his tenure discrimination and shame was at his peak in the USA and Mexico); although he complained about Rome's 2000 Pride festival for that he had the time hahah. For these I personally add that John Paul was able to receive Marcial Maciel at the Vatican anytime and praise him publicly as a "guide to the youth", yet he didn't care to address catholic companies and communities to treat homosexuals with respect while yet having time to praise that monster. - The Catholic Church position basically states that we are somehow "deviated"; loved by God and bla bla bla yet deviated. Is it thanks to the activists that people like you and I are able to know live a life without a threat to our lives by sharing with others we are gay; if the Catholic Church still held power as it was on the last century we would be adviced and encouraged to try to fix us somehow, and of course strained for telling anyone publicly about this "deviation", now marketed as "objectively disordered". - The best example of what the Catholic Church will do when still holding power to act on this issue you'll find in the Ugandan bishops attitude to the extreme anti-gay laws. There was complete silence, not even a bishop to publicly go on a quote the catechism cherry verses that "they must be treated with compassion and bla bla bla". This is what makes me realize that the Church, when having power and influence, won't move a finger to help gay people to live better without shame, they will mantain a complicit silence as it did during John Paul II's tenure. But hey! surely when ugandan activists start to raise against such treatment and start using rainbow flags, then and only then the Church will cry "Oh we don't need PRIDE events" or "why they are making such a big deal of such a law?". Although I respect you trying to "make us feel" people like us included, the Church is not even remotely closer to "embrace" us gay people; they just tolerate us because Western society will backlash any "fixing" recommendation. And let me tell you, at least in México if you ask to the right conservative priest you can find conversion therapies still available underground, so yeah, for the Church people like you and me are not lovable, just a PR stunt that must be addresed to not be more publicly mocked. I wish you well and I recognize the intention behind such an impossible task in trying to reconcile this realities that are diametrically opposed; I know myself I tried long enough.
Thanks for leaving a comment. I can hear your struggle and grief. I'm sad to hear you've left the faith, but can understand why. I hope that you know Christ hasn't left you and never will. He understands you and your pains more than you ever can. Try to stay close to Jesus, even if you aren't going to church. That connection with God is everything. If you feel condemned by Him and the Church, know that the voice of God is always filled with hope. If you're feeling alone, isolated, confused, and hopeless this is from Satan. Here is an article that may give you some solace: www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/real-love-for-homosexuals . God is with you always!
But then Y are we such a conversation amongst the prots. As a proud Polski Catholic who moved From North of S Chicago to Rockford, a bit more Country here, prots r constantly pointing fingers and yet I as all other Catholics, r always bitting our tongue. Don't get me started on the born agains, which is an improper use of the term as well as their description of speaking in tongues...
Don't forget, prot ministers have no other function in their life's but to preach and baptize. Catholic Priests have way more duties to the Lay Faithful the sheep their children. So speaking is gonna to the point and not over speak and maybe reach.
So st Luke was an artist and started the art work of the church. We know as being Polish where our Black Madonna comes from, one of three drawings. He probably started the Icon art. Holy images the Priestly Stole and the power they have over Satan during Exorcism. Wen we say we don't worship them we don't. If u can have artwork, pictures of your own family in your wallet, then y not the Holy Family?? I mean armies March with banners and we have most Holy Crucifix, we are the army of Christ, thee Church militant ...
How about the actual origins of the protestant movement and who historically really was Martin Luther and Calvin? Wut was going on with those weird Germans in Luther's day? How Hitler looked upon Luther for inspiration. Come on lets go!! This is weak sause...
As a Catholic, Y can't we give historic proof and validity of the Roman church? The first century Saints? The first Popes? The Martyrs? St Peter and Paul? Constantine , the real historic Constantine not the fake prof one which has zero proff? Emporer Theodosius, the Catacombs, I can go on and on. The errors of Martin Luther and Calvin ect. Make them prove their validity!!!
Why do catholics contradict themselves, what about not having graven images? Why do you guys overlook some laws and keep some, cherry pick? Is that okay? *new believer*
They don’t cherry pick or contradict themselves on a blatant level. I’m personally agnostic, but there are explanations to every question you asked. Honestly I don’t have the time or willpower to go through it here because I’m still an unbeliever and find this a waste of time.
The NAB is a dynamic translation that leans toward paraphrase. For example, sin is not even theologically "a demon lurking." (Gen. Ch 4). It fascinates me that a paraphrase is the only approved translation for liturgical use in the US
As a Catholic, I could never hate or dislike a LGBTQ person for who they are. They're still Gods children. It's not my place to judge when I commit to many sins myself. I've met too many good, caring people who are LGBTQ, and I've met too many mean people who cast judgement and try to make them feel inferior.
I just love it when people tell me Catholic or Orthodox, even, are not Christians. Catholics are the 1st Christians. Everything we do is firmly rooted in the Bible and is Apostolic.
It is much much more than that even the blessing responses of God and the angels in your life is based on the Bible. The guidance and circumstances are Biblical and you will understand it with prayer, the deeper you are in the faith. You may see an angel who will reveal your purpose in life. Do the sign of the cross and do not be scared when it happens. You have been chosen to be part of the Mystical Body of Christ.
I believe people love the flash and flare of the Catholic churches. they are almost a show in themselves. Plus it make people feel like their being blessed while their being entertained.
There is a difference between pastoral care and enabling sinful lifestyle.... I haven't seen any of you tried to lead them to repentance and Jesus Christ... LIKE WHAT JESUS ALWAYS ASK and TELL sinners.... GO & SIN NO MORE....
O no no. We are saved by grace, once saved always saved. People need to read The Holy Bible for themselves to do otherwise is spiritually dangerous. Follow only Jesus! ❤
it is also a tricky path to navigate. Between the language and applying the message to the people of the times it was created to fully understand. Modern society doesn't really allow the time it would need to do this. This is my catch. To have faith I need to learn the teachings in the book, to learn the teachings, I have to have faith that this is the correct path in order to devote my limited time to do this. 😢
Let me push back on this priest's pushback: RC clergy can not be comfortable with sexuality in general,and homosexuality in particular, because of their vowed celibacy and community life. If they even entertain sexual THOUGHTS ,let alone act on them, that is a " near or remote occasion of sin" ,given their vows. Ok for them, not for me. how did this get into my YT feed. The guilt they have to deal with-- and spread around. Whew.
LOL, this video got into your YT feed by the hand of God. Perhaps there are some areas in your life that need healing. Living a rightly ordered s-x life is HARD whether you are male, female, straight, gay, single, married, etc. We are all called to live as God calls us to live in all aspects of our life. Prayer is key. I will pray a rosary for you James Donahue.
