Do I Delete Comments? 

@@ElsaBorzoi welcome sister!

Congratulations! I grew up Anglican (Canada), then Baptist, now enrolled in RCIA. I pray for you.

Welcome Home !

Yeah. Some Catholic posts about the rosary, and you know it’s going to be filled with Protestants telling us why we’re wrong. Most aren’t there to learn, so they never really listen to the responses Catholics make.

You can call them filthy protestants, if I'm reading my beautiful wifes eye rolls correctly, they love that title :)

Just tell the Prots you love them and they'll respond *"you don't love, you don't even love Jesus"* I usually tell them *I love them, Jesus loves them* and they never respond with the same love I've given them.

@@Conqueror0000 the only good thing is that it gets us studying but even our knowledge isn’t enough for them.

Stop worshipping Jesus

And if they are “just spewing hate” one must wonder if they truly love Jesus. I often refer them to the plank in their eye.

Amen to that. Keep shaking the dust from your feet brother! One thing I never noticed before until now is that not all protestants, but many seem to be in a cult like following, with all their hatred. These are the ones you can shake the dust off your feet from.

Thats why they are called protestant, just pray for them

Keep at them!

Even Catholic channels will do that. Cancel Culture is a plague no matter who does it.

I’m not saying you didn’t already do this, but a few days ago I thought a comment of mine had been deleted, and here you have to switch from “Top comments” to “newest,” Or they don’t all show up. I don’t know why.

Please, share with us the occasion of your first Holy Communion, whenever it happens. That will truly be a cause for great celebration. And welcome on the pathway to your true home; glad you'll be part of the family soon.

@@johnsposato5632 yes, I will!

That would be awesome

@@davidcole333 I ask the after I answer a question or two when they shift tactics I stop, and sometimes I've ask them when are they starting RCIA to become Catholic! 😉 I'm Irish I can't help it!

It astounds me though, these trolls. I don't have time to watch all the YT channels of people I agree with and want to hear what they have to say. How do these people have the energy to watch channels just to spew negativity??? Very telling.

I do reply to comments with long answers with Biblical references sometimes but because someone has made some claim.

Yes that's because you want to flatter yourself. You are prideful. Your comment is exactly the spiritual disease that is Cancel Culture, Father. You should pray about what causes you such pride and why you are so willing to publicly admit it and cause scandal.

@@p.doetsch6209 Interesting take. Chastising a priest on the internet and calling him prideful. I assume you don't know him. I wonder how many people you leave negative comments to in a day? Do you talk to people you know this way too? Or just strangers you have never met?

@@halleylujah247 Anyone and especially those in the clergy who flatter themselves with their arrogance. Cancelling people is a sign of the demonic. Christ was Cancelled as well by the Pharisees. Those in authority routinely abuse that authority. We should hold our priests to a higher standard and not allow them to debase us with their poor example. Father is a poor example when he publicly proclaims his Cancel Culture pagan practices.

@@p.doetsch6209 see above. You talk to strangers you see on the street like this or do you hide behind your computer to say these things?

@@halleylujah247 Unlike you, I don't encourage or enable wicked prelates in any walk of life. Unfortunately many people are like you, willing to tolerate sin and public scandal in priests but effeminately concerned with any public admonishment. Save your indignation for the actual cause of scandal which are priests such as Father who don't live up to their vocation by their own actions. Your false sensibilities are why we have such effete men in the priesthood.

Thank you my brother!

If I had to describe Mary in a single word, I'd say, "godly;" so I can see where the misunderstanding emanates from. Alternatively, I'd probably use the term: "christian." So to speak, if we're not in the least 'Marian' in our behavior, conduct, and habit, we are far from being Christ-like. Thus it is that she isn't first among equals but rather first amongst those being made equivalent (for zero sins are permissible before the thrice most Holy God/be ye therefore perfect.../be ye therefore holy.../be ye therefore merciful.../et cetera). Thanks for reading!

I agree if its common dissent. There are some awful and disgusting comments that should be deleted.

I get what you’re saying, @GrandmaLynn. I think on the wall of words Keith was saying he doesn’t interact with those comments because of time constraints. I don’t think he was saying he deletes them. RU-vid deletes a LOT of comments.

I think I should rephrase that! Comments that are hateful and offensive should be deleted but comments that have a good reply from you, Keith, or anyone supporting your topic, should remain because that’s when a comment could be educational for someone who opposes what you say.

I think he explains clearly the rare times that he deletes comments. And they're valid.

It's a package deal.

The Gospel is the message of salvation Christ has given us and is given through and spread by and in the life of His Church, His Mystical Body. The Church is the vehicle of the Good News and out participation in Christ's redemptive work as His hands and feet on the Earth.

@@LostArchivist So, would you both say that God has no authority (no kingdom) outside of the church? Is that the limit of the sovereignty of God according to the Catholic catechism? And would you say that if is wasn't for the Church, God would not have a kingdom nor have any sovereignty?

@@mlauntube Of course not, for one God is sovereign over nature and over the angels and as Judge and Author of history and the nature of reality and as the Author of Salvation as well. If there are ever confirmed to be any other intelligent species in physical reality, these could arguably be outside of the scope of the Church, but clearly would be under God's Divine Sovereignty. Looking at the matter of God's Kingship on a different level, Christ is King and so, while we are subject to what He has proclaimed, He is bound to His promises by Himself alone. The Church teaches that while the sacraments are the ordinary and so preferred means of salvation, God can in ways only known to Himself, still save those who of no fault of their own do not come into His Church. And God's Providence is not limited to what can be found in the Church and besides that, it is the Holy Spirit Who safeguards and guide the Church not the other way around and clearly the Holy Spirit is not bound by the Church as were that the case, there would be no way for those who do not know Christ to be lead to the Faith as it is only by grace that we can approach God or even accept His grace. Also God clearly was still sovereign in the time before the Incarnation and even before the time of the Old Covenant and will be after the Second Coming.

@@LostArchivist Amen, and amen! That was so wonderfully put! When I suggested a focus on the Kingdom, it is only in the sense that Jesus and the Apostles and the Gospels do so. I hope these scriptures will bless you: Matthew 3:1-2 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” Matthew 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. Matthew 10:7 (Jesus sends out the 12) As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Revelation 14:6-7 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth-to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mark 1:1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Luke 2:10 - 11 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 10:9 (Jesus sends out the 72) Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Luke 23:42-43 (the thief on the cross) Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” John 1:11-13 He came to that which was his own [the Jews], but his own did not receive him [as King]. Yet to all who did receive him [as King], to those who believed in his name [his authority], he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God [to be born again]. Acts 1:3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. Acts 20:25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. 1 John 4:2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
