Self-love is the #1 thing in life - I appreciate the video! I discuss the same idea in the last video in my channel, from a parenting context. I hope videos like ours really inspire people to prioritize self-love!
I don't know any older people jaded or idealistic. Maybe the church should spend more time with them, rather than just focus on teens. They might learn something.
Compassion, by ethimiligy, is an invitation to be with others. Those of our fellow human beings who suffer one way or another are sollicited to accept our participation in their plight. That's compassion.
This was the wrong title for this talk, clearly. And all the stories of young men didn't belong here. You must be like many priests who provide spiritual guidance to males, but not females.
Some nice points but a little too new age for me. Says protestants can be catholic under the definition of universal, and then goes into transubstantiation which is one of the deciding factors of being protestant. The only way I can say protestants are universal are they are all universally wrong. Its interesting that people bring up if Jesus was left or right.... He was neither. The political system as such did not exist therefore he could be neither. But I pose to you that people on the right try and form themselves in the teachings of christ more than the people on the left that deny him and try to get God taken out of everything and support abortion enough to stay with their party.
Catholic has always meant Universal. The word catholic (with lowercase c; derived via Late Latin catholicus, from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "universal" John Paul can't change the definition of catholic. Popes can't cant change church tradition like that.
Hmm. What makes you think that the Pope, the Universal Leader of the Catholic Church, couldn't change the components needed to be Catholic? Tradition changing happens all the time.
Because thems the rules. Pope is not almighty. Tradition is not supposed to change. The times we live in now they do because of all the bad leaders in the church are leading people astray. You are not going to find a small article on the subject to spell things out exactly. It is a matter of study to understand what a pope can and can not do. Dr. David Anders answers this question often enough on the EWTN radio show Called To Communion. If you are interested I will dig around and try to find one of the shows for you. www.catholic-convert.com/blog/2013/02/16/the-conclave-what-the-pope-can-do-cant-do-wont-do/ "What the pope can and can’t do It is often said-usually by people who know little about popes and even less about canon law-that “a pope can do whatever he wants” or, a bit less egregiously, that “popes are not bound by canon law.” Nonsense. Just see what would happen if a pope, allegedly unfettered by Canon 1024, tried to ordain a woman, or, in disregard of the canons on marriage, attempted to dissolve a ratified and consummated marriage. What such obvious limitations on papal power prove, I suggest, is that canon law often (not always, but often) rests on divine laws which even popes are not free to disregard."
