*With all my heart I want with this message to wish you, that God gives you everything you need, that he realizes all your dreams and that he fills your life with prosperity*
Yes it's a hard subject to talk about but people take it very lightly in action. Church never teaches you something harmful for you or for anyone else in your life. God bless you Fr. Mike,❤❤❤ you are an incredible priest ❤
Absolutely true!!! & this Truth will set souls free to truly LOVE AS GOD ALMIGHTY intends...& oh what a joyful world we could have if everyone embraced this TRUTH
I conceptualize the body as the vehicle for the soul, which itself, is who I 'am.' I also contend that the body I incarnated into, is determined/approved by our Creator/Lord. So coming as a man, is it! I must live this body out because this is how the Lord made me. We are soul, Spirit, mind/awareness, brain and body. TY Fr. Mike for your vocation and work. Blessings, ~Doc Phil
The idea that the body is just a shell for the true self is a common belief. It's also an ancient heresy that was refuted by the Christian church centuries ago. Maybe you aren't a Christian?
ooh, so good, so concise, so TRUE! this is the first time i’ve heard fr mike speak, and he speaks fast! maybe he didn’t have enough time for this talk and wanted to get everything in, but please keep telling the TRUTH! i’m going to look for more of your you tubes. God bless you.
He's awesome, he naturally speaks fast. Very passionate with his teachings. He has bible in a year. So great, he explains and prays after each readings. Very nice and highly recommend. God bless!
What a great video, short, basic, straight to the point that can be used to teach simply and understandably what underlies all the Church's teaching on sexuality. I will be using this clip. Thank you, Fr. Mike
Thanks for the video this is great that we talk about it. I am curious though how to Catholics reconcile this with Clitoral stimulation. An organ on females with the sole purpose of stimulation. This is not directly linked to the procreative act is it? As a Catholic I do fear we are failing people still as a whole in discussing sexuality. I understand the abstaining, no porn and love between a husband and wife but strongly think we need to be more specific on certain situations. If there is any understanding of the female experience here could someone please elaborate. Why would females be given this anatomy if not for pleasure in a healthy/loving marriage. I have read very conflicting info on this topic. Working my way through theology of the body and it is good for broad topics but haven't heard this touch in yet. The Catholic Church has had 2000 years to clarify some of these items and I have gotten very mixed messages. Just a frustration. I don't have a doubt the church is the one true church.
If in eternity, we will have the body of a man or woman that we were born with, that means that all the cosmetic changes that these people impose on themselves to look like the other sex will not be retain in eternity, but the original state of the body will prevail. On the other hand, I also believe that the person who was born with a defective body will not retain the defects in eternity. I know it is not the same thing but I would not be able to articulate it. If I tell someone that their child will keep their original sex in eternity and she answers: do you mean that I will keep my handicap as well? I would not be able to answer.
Somebody's sex is a part of human nature. A physical deformity is not inherent to human nature, which is how we know it's a deformity. In heaven, everyone will have perfected human nature at the resurrection, and therefore no more deformities.
@@analuciafranco4975 It is correct, except that the transgender person considers her body to be wrong, they won't see that difference; in both cases it is the body that God gave them. In one case we say that God means them to have that sex eternally, and in the other case we say that God doesn't mean them to keep their handicap for eternity. What allows us to say that. Where is the intrinsic difference?
Agreed. People with the dysphoria need healing, this means psychologically, not changing the body. We don’t tell people with eating disorders to believe their delusions about their bodies.
I love your Teaching on this subject, but, your volume is way LOW and even at my end with 4 speakers and volume up, we would've gotten much more out of your teaching with your volume HIGHER.. THANK YOU
I can hear it fine even with my tiny phone speaker and no headphones, and I don't have bionic hearing or anything. Maybe try adjusting your technology.
You said that to have a sexual action that can never ever produce life is a violation of the nature of the sexual act. It sounds like a person who has been sterilized, a woman who had her ovaries removed for example, could never enter in the sexual act without violating it's nature.
Are you saying that a person who had cancer and had a hysterectomy can’t love her husband with the sexual act because now they can’t have children? If either one was born sterile, then they can’t have sex?
@@lattem2141 If the intention for the removal of sexual organs was to not procreate, yes it is a violation. If the sexual organ has been removed because of a serious illness that is out of your control and it is the only option to heal and maintain the body, then no you are not in violation because it was not by choice.
Hmm, so the argument is its wrong to use something if that use violets any of its natures. So when I have a thing who's nature is multifunctional, its a violation of nature ("natural law?") to use that thing for any way that violates any of its natures? This doesn't make sense to me. If applied to everything (not just sex) it becomes clearly a bogus argument. Just consider your chair example, but consider a wooden chair, you can use it as a chair, or you burn it in a wood stove for heat. Maybe consider a multi-tool, knife, plier, screwdriver, file thing, If you only ever use it as a knife are you violating its nature? I would go so far to say that any way you can use something is by definition part of its nature, otherwise you simply could not use it in whatever way you are using it.
He’s making a analogy to point out philosophical truth. It’s not an easy truth to parse out and I did the same thing you did. I would argue that a large part of the worlds malice and suffering is due to people believing exactly what your last statement says. “Any way you can use something is by definition part of its nature”. I would listen to it a few more times before drawing a conclusion.
What if somebody decides to use your baby as food? Or leash him and hv him as a pet? God forbid! Your last statement is so dangerous my dear and it sums up the problem with the world right now.
From your analogy the aim of a wooden chair is not to set fire or for heat; so yes that's going against the nature of the chair. His analogy made complete sense.
Father Mike why do u only talk to young people on sex, and never older people. Alot of us got little if any education, like u teach now, on what is good and bad. Some older people can't even have sex , what should they do, ect... lots of topics. What if it's there 2nd marriage and they even consumate it.
Fr. Mike has a ministry that is specifically directed toward youth. He is a Catholic chaplain for undergraduates, he is invited to speak at youth conferences, he leads pilgrimages for young people, and he is in charge of youth ministry for his diocese. I'll go out on a limb and say he's probably plenty busy without being asked to speak explicitly to older people.
I'm going to guess that's because it's commonly understood that that's a perversion of the sexual function, whereas in our day and age many people do not understand that masturbation, homosexual acts, and contraception are perversions, and so he addressed those.
@@kelkabot I’m talking about pedophilia and sexual assault on children. Masturbation isn’t an issue if the Church isn’t going to do anything about it and being gay isn’t a sexual act.
@@lattem2141 he ate with them and had the same wounds. It was the same body. He had the wounds in order to show it was the same body. However the body was glorified and so not beholden to natural laws, hence walking through walls. Our bodies will also be glorified and reunited with our spirits at the second coming.
I've been married for 30 years and my wife stopped any intimacy 25yrz ago , so I don't need someone to tell me matsturbation is bad. I'm not looking to be a priest. Sorry but I think God could care less what I do alone.
1. Nobody escapes the cross. Nobody. 2. You are not an entity unto yourself, sealed off and with no effects on other people, even with actions you do in private. Your sins ripple out and so do your virtues. 3. If you are Catholic and you receive the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin, you pronounce judgment upon yourself (this is Biblical). 4. We all sin. I'm just explaining some of the teaching. I get it that you don't care. Maybe someone else will read this and a lightbulb will go on, though.
Love his message, but he rambles on and on, talks too fast, jumps around his points to the point that it leaves me dizzy.... A public speaking course would be helpful....
Is it possible to teach using knowledge & facts ? If you are gay or transgender or know someone who is, this is important information! It has been determined that sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetal development. Various hormones such as testosterone are introduced at specific times & amounts which determine physical, biological & psychologic features of the fetus It is, therefore, not a choice by the fetus or mother & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural path of life’s evolution & found commonplace in nature. Extensive medical research clearly explains this process. Those who believe it is an abomination do so based not on facts but on religious authority. I totally accept that this is their right to believe this and I understand. It must be made clear however, it is based on religion not science. If you are truly interested in the truth based on knowledge, facts & research, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay explains this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for others & yourself, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had, unfortunately, no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book if you want solid factual understanding. If you chose to respond to me, please read this book &/or the numerous articles referred to in the reference section beforehand. I do not want to waste your or my time if your claim to understanding is based on religion. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
The contemporary Catholic Church understands that sexual orientation is not chosen and is not in itself sinful. It's the actions that are problematic. I'm a single woman in midlife and I find it a steep challenge to practice chastity (especially since for a long time I did not). But I don't think that means I'm allowed to be sexually active outside of marriage. We all bear a cross.
@@dan69052 I am going to guess you've never read the works of Thomas Aquinas or J.R.R. Tolkien or Peter Kreeft, nor studied Mendel's work on genetics (Mendel was a Catholic monk), nor analyzed the musical compositions of Vivaldi (a Catholic priest), nor familiarized yourself with the big bang theory (developed by a Catholic scientist). Maybe you need some education yourself. Fr. Robert Spitzer is a great person for exposition that the notion that faith and reason are opposed is a fallacy. That's just an intellectual hangover from the so-called Enlightenment.
@@kelkabot Had grammer school , high school, & university of Loyola education. Degree chemistry, Loyola, along with similar sciences ; philosophy & theology at Loyola.A lot of reading. You guessed wrong. Strongly suggest the book Gay, Straight, & the Reason Why as a start to understand this subject..If you care not to read this, just mind your own business & quit judging other as you have no right to do so. As humanist, I am always learning & educating myself to understand our universe & humanity. Best of luck , Peace
Fr.Mike if you know the truth & preach iit from your heart go tell the bishops first to practice catholism & not be indifferent to join in the peaceful protest. The problem is clergy & busy onlly preaching to children & laity but never practice what they preach. Very very disappointed in you clergy...from a laity.
Fr Mike and many Bishops and priests have gone March for Life rallies. Also, many bishops and priests have spoken recently against the stuff with the Dodgers.
@@no_prisoners6474 sorry can't be quiet we parents are answerable on our judgement of how we catechize our kids. We are struggling with our kids to bring them up in faith when these shepherds are creating havoc after havoc . We laity didn't have to bother if one or few holy priests spoke up but they're not going their jobs so we have to speak up. And everyone who doesn't speak up for injustice, immorality & exhibit antichrist behavior should oblige to the sin of omission. To those that are given more , more is expected not the opposite.Every Christian has the right & duty to speak up against wrong no matter who or what or when.You don't have to defend mortals when they r wrong it itself is a sin against the oppressed.
