Thank you Sebastian Gomes and America Media for these "Behind the Story" videos. They are insightful. The questions and personal encounters of the guests are wonderful.

Dr. Williams does very well in this interview through which the brilliance, intelligence, deep contribution and love of Pope Benedict XVI shine through. Sadly this is despite the interviewer's obvious best attempts to get Dr Williams to say that Pope Benedict somehow derailed the ecumenical direction of the Second Vatican Council. I think the interviewer requires an urgent remedial course in Vatican II, I suggest he starts with Unitatis Redintegratio, perhaps paragraph 22?

Wonderful interview! Here's my reflection on Benedict's passing: Rest in peace, Benedict! Although I didn't see eye to eye with you on many things about our Catholic faith, I do believe you were a holy man. You knew when you stepped down that Francis would most likely be elected and I think you knew he could do what you could not. Thank you for your courage in turning over the reins to this saintly man. You spent your retirement in prayer and meditation. Please continue to intercede for Francis, that all Catholics may see that he is who the Holy Spirit has chosen to bring the Church to be more in line with true Gospel integrity. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

It is the "Anglican Communion", not "Anglican Church". Anglicanism is not a church. It has no holy orders due to lack of intention and form. Rome gave England it's succession and Rome revoked it. Peace be with you.

@theadventurer1602 Год назад

Yes, that is right. There is no such thing as a "Protestant Church" - they are all merely ecclesial communities.

I used to call him, “the bad pope.” I am a convert and I recall thinking, “This is NOT the church I signed up for.” The thing that turned me around was that silly Netflix movie. Maybe it wasn’t perfectly accurate but it captured the generosity of spirit shown by Papa Francesco. Then, when he died, I read this BBC biography and learned something hurtful happened during his early days with student protests and it occurred to me that whatever it was, it scared him. And when humans are scared they fall back into relying on what they think they “know.” The rules, the dogma, the narrow container that shaped them. None of us really know who he was and he doesn’t seem to have been able to communicate much more of himself than his obviously stellar mind, but I don’t call him “the bad pope,” anymore. Because he chose to step aside. And because of that, we now have someone who shows us the meaning of “abba,” or “daddy.” Papa Francesco. Let’s hope that miracle is a trend.

Decline in church attendance is the rule for all Christian denominations, not the exception. Don't blame one Pope. It's due to many more factors than one man can take the blame for.

@frankmcgowan9457 Год назад

The *massive* decline in attendance and vocations started with Paul VI. It has continued through all of his successors. Francis may actually be speeding it up through his insistence in following the dictates of Vatican II which was in progress when Paul VI became Pope. As I read and remember recent Church history, Vatican II is the problem. More properly, it is the Modernist movement within the Church which is the problem.

With all due respect, I was stunned by the forcing of Latin on us. The changing of the wording of the profession of faith to include words like "consubstantial" and "incarnate" felt like a clubbing to my head. How many Catholics are getting their religious training at a Catholic school? How many Catholic schools are succeeding in impacting their Catholic children with a good understanding of these concepts? What was wrong with saying "one in being with the Father" and "was born of the virgin Mary"? Seriously this withdrawal of common sense concerning communicating to us in a language and in words that are immediately understood is condescending and foolish. I was not taught Latin in Catholic school and we did not use theological terminology used in seminaries! He caused a separation in the laity's participation in the Holy Mass. I also found this rejection of Vatican II spirituality short sighted and bigoted. I honestly don't understand what he was trying to do to us.

@constanceaverman4364 Год назад

I realize that I am talking about our own church here and did not mean to overlook the relationship we have with other Protestant churches or other religious organizations. They remain a work in progress and the need for diplomacy is a given. I grew up with a pope that constantly was on the move to reach out to others in order to help us understand one another. I guess Pope Benedict tried to do this as well.

@@daggh1 Modernism conquered the Church at Rome during Vatican II. Everything that has happened since is a consequence. The decline in attendance started as soon forward-thinking priests began using the vernacular side of the Missal, as mine did in 1965. It threw people off. It made people unhappy. They stayed unhappy, though less so, until Paul VI instituted the Novus Ordo Mass in 1969 and mandated it in 1970. John-Paul II continued the hostilities against Archbishop Lefevre zand his Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) even as he, JP II, reached out to Orthodox, Protestants, Evangelicals, Non-Denominational Christians, Muslims and, even, pagans. Benedict buried the hatchet with Traditionalist Catholics but continued JP II's outreach to the rest. I love Pope Benedict XVI but he was not perfect.
