@@JamesSmith-ge2sg oh ok. I say Columbia because i know he does the Latin Mass at the Our Lady of Lake and Ive been many times. It was a surprise seeing his name appear as a comment and learning that he denied Biden communion! The parish i grew up has had biden attend many times but unfortunately they dont deny him communion
@@InExcelsisDeo24 Yes, but only a few inherently oppose the church and the teachings of Christ in the public light like certain politicians do. There is no way for a priests to know the inner thoughts and sins of those he dispenses communion to, but those who are publicly unrepentant sinners should be denied.
@@user-io9ie5cs8j "Rebel" is the word I was looking for. Everyone is a sinner, but those actively working against the church must be regarded as what they are; enemies of Christ. Too may decaffeinated Catholics today conflate forgiveness with tolerance of sin. We are called to forgive repentant sinners, but we must never tolerate the sin.
don’t be afraid! The priests in my experience are always kind and understanding. Do a sincere and humble examination of your conscience beforehand so that you don’t have to struggle to remember in the confessional. The feeling after a good confession is so euphoric in a good way, the feeling of that weight being taken off your shoulders is like nothing else.
Catholic's are required to go to confession at least once a year during Easter season, yet this sacrament provides the grace we need to remain close to Jesus. Go to confession often, and become all God wants you to be, may God bless you all
Biden has condemned himself. Good Cardinals and Bishops need to reprimand priests who aren’t following God and his teachings through the church. Do this publicly so faithful Catholics can see the truth.
Denying a sinner communion is totally wrong. If communion brings us closer to Christ and decreases our hunger for sin, then why deny a sinner the chance for Chist's body to convert him?
@@kingsleynwofe1244 You are missing the point. No one wants to deny sinners the opportunity to receive communion. What we want is to deny unrepentant sinners communion because they would be eating and drinking their own condemnation. This argument you have devalues every other sacrament. If I can take holy communion no matter what then there is zero reason to be baptized, to confess, to marry, or to even be confirmed. Heck, why even be a catholic? There are standards and we have to follow and respect them. If you want to receive communion you must prepare yourself for it, that means being in the right state of mind, body, and soul.
Biden is the best president for Americans. He's helped 30 million hard working new comers enter the USA, many of them are Catholics. I am proud of all the Spanish Mass services in our city. Jesús Cristo es Rey de Reyes !
The world needs our Church leaders to speak out with this level of love and conviction. Praise be to God for bestowing the gift of courage to Cardinal Burke.
Cardinal Burke is the only person in the world I would love to meet. It’s never going to happen though as I’m 75 and not mobile any more, plus I live in Scotland. I pray for him every day and am saying his novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I also prayed when he was ill with Covid and am so glad he made it through. God is Good and He knows how much good this wonderful Cardinal is for the Church. 🙏🏻🏴
@@katperson7332 Contact him directly (email) which is probably through his staff. Ask for him to see you. At the very least you'll get a personal letter Maybe a call or vid conference.
@@user-io9ie5cs8jthat’s a really lovely suggestion! I’m not very good at propelling myself forward though, especially towards such an eminent (and no doubt very busy) figure. I’m quite shy really. Cardinal Burke has visited my town in the past here in Glasgow at least once or twice but I didn’t know about it then. As far as I know he said Latin Mass in a parish which has now had it taken from them and the congregation were devastated. I did email his office at that time regarding the Mass, to inform him about it, and I try to contribute a bit to the upkeep of his Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine in Wisconsin. Even if I can never visit the shrine, I would hate for it to not be available for others. Thanks for your kind reply! Regards from Glasgow, Scotland.
@@LauraBeeDannon Good luck with that, not even Paul could stop sinning (read Romans 7:19-25) While in our fleshly bodies, we will continue to sin - the problem comes in when we don't care about our sin & when don't feel any conviction from the Holy Spirit - which isn't going to happen if we're truly saved & trust in fully in Christ & His _finished_ work on the cross.
You can and should always go to Holy Mass, even if you are in the state of mortal sin. However, you MAY NOT receive the Eucharist. St Paul is very clear about this in 1 Corinthians 11:29 “For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself….” Going to Holy Mass will give you the strength to go to Confession as soon as possible; then you may joyfully receive our Lord!
I grew up southern Baptist, and converted 7 years ago. The Baptist group my dad grew up in, had strict rules for the Lord's Supper, because they took Christ at his word regarding "this is my body. " If you weren't a member if that church, you wouldn't be there when they held the communion. If the pastor knew you had a grudge with someone, he would deny you. If you were in any way not ready, you would be denied. Why is it, an extinct group of baptists take their communion more seriously than Christ's church?
5:00 It also causes grave scandal, misunderstanding, and further disunity between us and our non-Catholic brethren. They see public Catholics holding these ungodly views, while loudly proclaiming how “devout” they are, go uncensured by their Bishops. It’s a black eye on the entire Church.
He will not bring up how much money the Church receives via NGO's through Catholic Charities to move illegal immigrants into the U.S. The church will not touch this president as long as the Federal Government gives them billions.
How can the anointed hands of a priest or bishop minister the precious Body and Blood of Jesus to anyone actively promoting the murder of the Unborn and sex change to anyone young or old. May God have mercy on us.
I’m trying to figure out why Pope Francis doesn’t deny Biden communion. Pope Francis clearly is against abortion. I am not one of the people who are attacking him, but I’m just trying to understand him
@@maryannesaliba1972 A quick google search seems to confirm that on June 29, 2022 she attended the Papal Mass in Rome and received Communion. The article does confirm that Pope Francis did not distribute Communion himself. It does point out he has not distributed Communion for a long time.
Hallelujah!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🙌.l was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery. Now, I'm no longer in debt after I invested $30,000 and got my payout of $170,500. God bless Deborah Lee Clark.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
I find I can stay away from what is sinful longer as I get older. I still get temptations however it is gods grace that gets stronger in me. I find peace more often.
@mateusaviani2442 I know quite a few "older" people I work with who live quite sinful lives. It's all part of the equation but the longer you know Christ the stronger you should become
If you are married it's easy, but if you aren't then everything sexual is a sin. Meanwhile the married folks are having a pint of two of some fine ale, overeating , and using birth control, which is not considered a sin; but heaven forbid the single man touch his or her organ. Let's use reason; drinking is worse than touching yourself. Masturbation should not be considered a sin..
Pray for him,I'm a sinner,if he DIDNT go to CONFESSION and Not just get ABSOLUTION, but denounce and STOP his SINS...pray for him and his wife..Pray for me Also!!!
The restoration of the longer fast before receiving our Lord is a great idea Cardinal Burke; however, who is going to teach this and demand it be followed? As a cradle Catholic, I can say anecdotally that formation was extremely weak in the 1960s and 1970s, so many of those I know do not understand the fast or other elements of the Church.
You can and should always go to Holy Mass, even if you are in the state of mortal sin. However, you MAY NOT receive the Eucharist.

I feel part of our problem is we have not taught the faith well to the laity. I know I was guilty, but i Now try to go to reconciliation aka confession once or twice a month, and actively use the sacraments to help my soul
Paul doesn't say you're not allowed. He simply says that doing so is really bad for you. When a priest discerns it's right for him to refuse you is a prudence issue for the church and priest. Biden should be refused out of love for him and according to church teaching.
We need our bishops to pull their heads out of the sand and to take a stand for Christ. In the classroom, one of the things I teach the students is life is full of choices and choices have consequences. For far too long, they have let the political class, the modernist “catholic” and the enemies of the faith force the church into silence. We may very well lose our tax exempt status (I doubt it because of how much we do to feed, clothe and care for all and this will backfire on this class). The time to stand is now. The church has, till now, failed in teaching the faith to the flock and look at the results. Christ’s Sacred Heart, coupled with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, will provide. It is time to rally the faithful and with God’s almighty grace people will return to the faith of Christ and His Church. We may also need to reform the Norvus Ordo Mass, apparently we have not been told the entire truth. In watching Pints with Aquinas there apparently is a Missal that presents a form of the Norvus Ordo that is far more inline with the faith. Just my two cents. God’s speed to all
We need to stand together on this regardless of the loved ones we have who oppose it. We can still love and pray for those who think abortion and or gay marriage is right, but still oppose it.
I'm going through the conversion process, this makes me confident that I chosen wisely to come into the faith. God bless all of our church leaders, and may the Holy Spirit guide them on the straight and narrow.
Whether he is Catholic or not is irrelevant. He is a child of God who has lost his way, and if he does not repent on his views on abortion, is destined for hell - God forbid. This soul needs our prayers, (as do many others that hold similar views). it is our Christian duty to pray for him.
The lack of belief in the real presence of the Eucharist is a problem created by the clergy but somehow the laity are the ones being blamed. Bring back altar rails, ad orientem, communion on the tongue, more confession opportunities, tabernacles in the center of the altar etc. and see how people's dispositions change.
Yes. Correct. Multi-standards I tell you. Talk about BS. What a shame these preachers are. Enough is enough with the BS. God is fair, one standard for all. Keep that in mind.
The pre-council liturgical calendar observed many more days of fasting and abstinence than the current one. Who thought it was a good idea to have fewer days of penance ?
The 60s were a time of “brilliant” ideas. One of them being “maybe people will be more interested in Catholicism if we make the religion less demanding”
@TrinityUne-z5o Possibly - But why did they have more time family ? Simpler lifestyle . Only needed one paycheck. A family owned one car, lived in smaller homes. No cellphone or cable tv bills. But the families were much larger.
Matthew 18:15-17 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
In London a church held "gay masses" every fortnight for 6 years before the Church finally put a stop to it. These weren't even masses for Catholics with same sex attraction trying to live chaste but many were proudly in relationships, saying they were doing no wrong. Rainbow flags draped everywhere. 6 years before they were forced to shut it down. The church moves slowly indeed. What damage was done in those 6 years?
Reflect on what exactly? He has dementia and he is no longer a rational human being. He deserves dignity in his old age and it is truly demonic to force him into being a president by his close ones.
@@davidmoser9934 🙏 amen and on the tongue. But we have to acknowledge the reality that the NO was designed to communicate something different than the TLM. So called liberal Catholics admit as much. The fruit of the liturgical changes speak to the matter objectively.
I would say that a lot of California Catholics are okay with abortion, divorce, anti-scientific transgenderism, and other things (while agreeing with Joe Biden)... and also that I disagree with a lot of California Catholics.
Yes, and you then have a responsibility to not repeat your mistakes. Biden has continued to support his usual policies so even if he’s been going to confession there’s still a problem.
@@imsometaeventhisacronym2545given his public office and the public nature of his sin, he would actually be required to publicly renounce what he has already said.
I have learned to hate the sin of sacrilege so much more than stupid sins of the flesh. Biden's mind is too far gone for him to repent. Pray for Divine Mercy. Pray to Divine Mercy. We all need Him to be merciful.
“Progressive” Christianity is something that must be stamped out. One thing that really solidifies me as a Catholic is, while there are issues of it within the Church, many of the Protestant denominations are completely overrun, and without a central authority it seems it will continue spreading.
In the LCMS Lutheran church, we "soft excommunicate" the impenitent, manifest sinners. While I wouldn't/couldn't commune him in our church anyway as He's not LCMS, I would most certainly refuse communion to him because he is openly supporting and encouraging sinful behavior. It's not a statement of power, but a way to bring sinners to true repentance. This is eternal life and eternal death stuff.

Well, at least with respect to the clip provided, the president did not advocate for transgenderism. He simply said that there should be no discrimination. Is the Cardinal advocating that the president should be pro-discrimination?
The Eucharistic isn't the medication. Confession and reconciliation are the medication. If Biden were to stop denying Christ and go to Confession, he would be welcomed back with open arms.
When I saw Biden speak, I have to say he reminded me of many older folk.. The 'stare' I recall with oncoming Parkinsons, and God knows I cant say for sure, but I think perhaps folk are puttung far too much weight on a guy who did his job, love or absolutely hate him. Mostly, if there is even a seed of good will - mind him, and God knows everybody and their Granny is judging him like they wear the judge pants. Take care of Biden & Trump America....you are still absolutely the land of freedom.
I often wonder if there is an argument to be had about mental capacity for mortal sin, are we willing to deny a man communion when his mental faculties are clearly not there? I’m not saying I support Biden in anyway but I pray we aren’t jumping to judgement because of our biases. I pray for Biden to come to the lord and turn away from wickedness, and for all that support him. God Bless everyone
If he's mentally capable of being president he's clearly mentally capable of being held to the standards being discussed. Besides, it's not just Biden, it's a bigger issue than one man.
I just feel the pope doesn't have your back. He's always been against refusing holy communion to anyone it seems and when it comes to confession, he also says absolution should never be refused which implies a person doesn't have to be sorrowful, doesn't have to be sincere, and doesn't have to promise to do penance. The foundation is sand on all these issues until there is clearer guidance from the top.
Can the good Cardinal do anything to encourage Cardinal Gregory to take action? Biden has been a public advocate of abortion for decades, and his position has only gotten worse. “How long, O Lord?”
I like to think I take sin very seriously. I know when I should and shouldn't receive communion depending on my sins I have yet to confess. (I also know that doesn't mean other Catholics do) I do however feel uncomfortable with the idea of another human denying me the right of communion. Yes that complaint may sound a bit protestant(ie) but thats just my first thought. I am not ridge in my opinion it just that I know priests can sin also so it just comes across hypocritical.
You are wrong. Preventing the profanation of the Blessed Sacrament isn't punishment. It prevents the desecration of the Eucharist and stops the individual from committing further sacrilege.
I do not trust holy men until I've observed them and seen that their actions are consistently Godly - just because a man has a title and acts like a boss doesn't mean I'm going to follow his orders (unless he's a judge) - priests have too much ego in the game, usually
@@bethmcmullan7686Talk is cheap. It’s action that counts. Trump is someone who talks about being good yet behind closed doors it’s the complete opposite. Pretty sure of that. I am sure Biden behind closed doors is way better than Trump in all aspects. Who wants to bet their own entrance to heaven on it??????
I am the Riff Lord, and it is my sacred duty to pay homage to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit through the divine gift bestowed upon me-the Heavenly Metal Guitar.” 🎸🔥

This is madness, by this flawed logic should catholic police officer's, drs, nurses etc when dealing with gay people, people that are trans etc just not do there job. Come on guys use some logic
Yup, talk about double/triple/quadruple…standards to suit whatever purposes they preach. Seriously, please really listen to yourself because God is watching and if people want to go to heaven, they need to stop passing judgment about others.
You need the Pope to lead “no communion” for pro choice pols…and the last three Popes didn’t do it. All else is discussion. Biden can parish shop if he gets refused in location A. Popes must act on this and if a majority of Cardinals voted for Pope Francis….good luck in our lifetime.
Everyone is a sinner. It’s pitiful for one sinner to judge another sinner that his/her own sins are less sinful. God is the only judge who has the sole authority to judge his own creations. Do not deny anyone’s access to God’s grace. If they are truly pure evil, they would not even go to church.
The Lord is the ultimate Judge, He gets the final say. But He also gave us faculties to think, to pick and choose, and the chance to judge wrongly or rightly.
@@anthony1776diaz If you notice or even pay some attention, God does NOT prevent any of his creations from exercising their free wills. Why? Who do you think you are and what makes you think you are above anyone else to be able to judge others? I am talking about God’s commandments, not about earthly laws, ok?
@@bethmcmullan7686 I think it’s a mistake that you think you have the right to judge others. Each to one’s own opinions. No one will know the real answers until they die. So no need to argue about something we can only guess while still alive.
You cannot find God without the Eucharist. The Eucharist is food for the journey, not for those who have reached the destination. I would remind you that the only ones who have finished the journey are DEAD. We are ALL sinners, Cardinal Burke is a sinner. So am i. Denying the Eucharist to sinners is not a practice that fits with the teachings of Jesus; it is ridiculous.
