Pope Francis is Dividing the Church. Here's why. 

yes, but how often has the pope been accused falsely of doing so and so and it turns out to just not be true? the problem is not the pope, it's the world that is going bananas and some catholics blame it on francis...

@@boss180888 that's why I cited the official Press Office: I can just ignore all the Pope enemies that may spread misinformation, they don't matter. But I can't ignore in the same way that the Pope is a terrible communicator, and the Vatican itself (not some weirdo trad) had to intervene on multiple occasions to fix what He says. E.g. Vatican PO had to clarify that: - The Pope didn't say that Hell doesn't exist. - The Pope didn't say that plurality of religions is God's Will. - The Pope didn't say that he dislikes americans so much that it's an honor being criticized by them. I'm not saying that He is evil at all, but it's not well suited for the job, and it's a big problem.

@@MrTheanswer42 I understand the concern, and i get it to some extend. the pope, as father said in the video, has a...unique... way of expressing himself, for better or for worse, obviously for worse it can confuse people, but for the better it can grab attention and shake people into action. so for me it's a prudential decision how you choose to express yourself aiming for maximum result. and as for it being the official press office, rest assure they aren't correcting the pope but acting on his behalf with his full knowledge, and usually addressing misconceptions started by those enemies of the pope or(lets not forget it) more often secular media who just loves to misrepresent what the pope said. God bless

@@MrTheanswer42 And can you offer quotes from Pope Francis where he appeared to say those things - not media reports that may have taken his words out of context?

I've seen the office correcting mistranslations and out of context quotes but that's the press misunderstanding. The Pope must be understood in many languages and its easy to mistranslate to support a narrative, I've seen it happen so often in the US press.

Good to hear I urge you to never stop reading/ learning about the faith.

You are now a warrior in his church. God bless you in your life. Get ready for persecutions and hate from the ones controlled by the fallen one. Jesus was also hated, so stay strong, don't falter. Jesus is on your side.

Congratulations! Welcome to the family!

And it was clearly not true then.

I agree. I very much have enjoyed other youtube podcasts by Br. Casey, and believe he is knowledgeable. But this one, on this point?...no...I am not seeing that the Pope is "welcoming criticism". Maybe I would like a list of "silenced clergy" that previous Popes have silenced. The list that Jesse Romero has for the present Pope is 32 -- I don't agree ALL of them were unjustified -- but most.

​​@@susanwanke9933The list of clerics previous popes have silenced: John Paul II: Leonardo Boff, Hans Küng The end.

@@susanwanke9933 I have to wonder, in light of these recent, very brash actions, the 87 year old pope may be experiencing some cognitive decline. It may be time for him to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, and step down from his chair.

@@matthewjoseph9897 As is anything you say. PS. However, the names of clerics disciplined by the Holy See is nit really secret.

yes you can be confused but you need to go deeper to your faith first to really understand Him, otherwise it won't work for you because he is speaking assuming that those who listen especially the Catholics master their faith and for others, it is an expression of what the faith in the nowadays context.

Same here.. Totally agree with you. For the most part, the pope speaks only to cause confusion than to clarify controversial issues. And always silence on issues when we need his leadership. I believe he is the pope but a very weak one.

@@reneeharagsim4720 I think the very problem of people misreading Pope Francis is that they are very shallow in catechism in such a way that they cannot understand at all what the Pope is saying for example : about the comment "who am I to juge?" 1) first the comment reads like this "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?" 2) the Catechism is very clear about people who have that orientation : CCC 2357 = homosexuality is a sin / CCC 2358 = special care for those persons who are "called to to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition." 3) About the sin part, if you know the CCC well, you'll be not confused because the Pope never said that they do not sin / When they sin or you sin, the Pope does not have the authority to judge because the Church cannot judge, that power belongs to God alone, the Church can canonize but does not have the power to send someone to hell. 4) on the part that those people are also called to holiness, please remember that every faithfull has an obligation of chastity outside the marriage (whatever your inclination that is). And the Pope says if someone is seeking God despite its state, that is the very word of the Lumen Gentium 42, where it is said everyone is called to holiness in his state. So you can be indeed confused since you do not know either the catechism or the teaching of the Church. Please do level up. As the Scriptures are clear : for those who have more, they will earn more but for those who have less, the small they have will be removed from them, it is so about faith they are talking about not money.

He is humble. I love that about him. True to the example of Christ and St. Francis.

@@samaritain16 We are not practice the Catholic faith in the nowadays context God never changes.

Which predecessors? He doesn't say just throws shade at Popes from the past

As you know the church has been infiltrated for over a hundred years by communists. Look up Bella Dodd. She helped thousands of communist men infiltrate the seminars. Who later were promoted to bishops, cardinals and now the seat of Peter. They are homosexual communists set to destroy the church. These are the men who have badly formed millions of priests, like the ones who defend these heretics. Holy priests are persecuted and kicked out of the church, while the liberals deformers of the faith are praised and promoted. We have reached the times where right is wrong, and wrong is right. Sorrowful Immaculate Heart Mary, Pray For US! God help us save our soul! We do deserve these heretical shepherds! God bless you!

@@greatpretender83 My comment wasn't about the predecessor popes. It was about Pope Francis demoting his critics.

@@greatpretender83 A strange assertion about unnamed previous Popes, to be sure. Especially considering the strange defense of the unorthodox Francis.

❤💯👌

To criticize faithful and sacrificial prolife Catholics by likening them to rabbits is evil. He sounds like an anti-worldy-neo-pagan. That sounds something that a globalist would say, instead of your Spiritual Father and the Ambassador of Christ. Wow. You will know them by their fruits.

That is exactly what he did!

I turn to the Word of God for guidance and direction. The Church is an institution of man. The Bible is the breathed word of God. John 1:1 (LSB): 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Luke 6:43-45 (LSB): 43 “For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 44 “For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush. 45 “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil. For his mouth speaks from the abundance of his heart. The Church is overwhelmed by controversy because they do not follow the Word of God. It is so sad to see they mislead the flock of Christ.

@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 Hush now protestant before you get schooled.

@LewisVitale3366 My friend, I doubt anyone who threatens schooling even knows how to school! All talk and no ability. By the way, I follow Christ, and his Word is my Gospel. I do not subscribe to the corrupt institutions of man. I follow in the steps of Christ's apostles. John 1:1 (LSB): 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

And Pope Francis, instead of engaging in dialogue with those bishops (cardinals), chose to stonewall them.

Yes, people keep justifying pope Francis but the truth is a good pope doesn't need justification and doesn't WANT confusion. He would do ANYTHING he can to avoid confusion, and I agree, he's the pope, he's not an idiot,I would never say that. But right because he's not an idiot, he well knows of the confusion he created/let others create. He doesn't seem so sad about it. I don't like this. Catholic church is a family, we shouldn't eliminate people we don't like. But this way, he's just DOING THIS!!!!

This monk is in error as is his communist false prophet.

And it's not just Cardinal Burke. Traditionis custodis has several different interpretations, from preserving the status quo to axing the Extraordinary Form. I've never really heard anybody give a substantial argument that Pope Francis is a communist - certainly not in response to his encyclicals. Most people deride him for his off-the-cuff remakrs and his daily sermons, not official teaching documents - which I suspect is probably orthodox.

@@ferdinandpurnomo also punished, vanished and isolated. Many good saint clergy are been put away!! 😔😔

You have conveyed my feeling very accurately. Sure, Marshall and Voris seem excessively vitriolic to mee, even if they do have valid points sometimes, but Fradd and Holsworth are very much the opposite and they too have similar concerns regarding Pope Francis (as I do). And if the last two years have taught me anything, it’s that conspiracy theories are more and more often spoiler alerts rather than absolute nonsense.

The fact that this Pope is so CONTROVERSIAL ( confusing and opposite of what we learned) shows that he should definitely resign!

Makes sense you feel this way when you watch Trent Horn, Brian Holdsworth and Matt Fradd 😅 like fr. Casey said, have you read for your self the church documents he mentioned in the beginning?

@@dianajanna7228 I have. And have seen better theology from a second year theology student.

The trivialization of the damage that confusion does to the faith should not be underestimated. Denying that Pope Francis spreads confusion is like denying that the sun rises in the morning.

Agree! The FS is ambiguous enough to be used as expected. Priests in church wearing in rainbow flag colors, “blessing” a lesbian “couple” as they hold hands. I’m in RCIA and want to confirm, but worry about the direction the Church is going. Now thinking I should go the Orthodox route…

But THAT is where the controversy comes in. Previous Popes did EXACTLY that. They silenced and demoted based on THEIR interpretation of Catholic doctrine. Whereas Francis works WITH them. That’s what this whole video was about!

@@NorthernChev But he doesn't. Francis is actively suppressing those who disagree with him.

@@NorthernChev I wish you were correct; but you seem to be seeing only what you seem to want to believe is true

@@NorthernChev Yes, that is still different to simply punishing people who criticised them, hence the clarification.

@@dhouse24 Sounds to me more like I have two people here responding that didn't listen to a thing he said in the video; and still want to believe the BS that is being spread. I'm just guessing as I didn't even know about this conflict until today.

This hits me, because it's similar to his somewhat tepid approach to the suffering in Venezuela, where my family is from. Many people seem to think that the main people who have issues with pope Francis are right wing Americans and the like. They don't realize that the way he selectively calls out certain evils but not others can be somewhat scandalous to people who are suffering, and it has caused other groups of people, not just Americans, to be weary of him. Pope Francis had a blind spot when it comes to tyranny from the left (I'd say that on the other hand, JPII probably had a a similar blind spot for tyranny from the right). It doesn't mean he himself is a progressive guy, but it's like he has certain issues in his radar more than other (again, as certain more "conservative" types did). The other thing is that he though not completely so, despite his appearance of emphasizing the poor/ marginalized, he has acted in ways that look rather chummy with the wealthy but spiritually bereft German church. The Rhine was so keen to flow into the Amazon during the Amazonian synod (like a third of the people involved were German... wtf??). I don't care much that he isn't the most keen with the Americans (our churches also hold a lot of the purse strings, so I can see why he's ambivalent to the US bishops unusual power for a country that doesn't have the biggest portion of Catholics), but his ambivalence is inconsistent.

@@maryangelica5319 Thanks for the very wise and keen analysis. I learned some new perspectives!

Cardinal Zen has said;" Pope Francis is very comfortable with Communism. " I wish Vigano were Pope. The Pope is a Marxist/Globalist.

NO, Father, it is NOT just poor catechesis. It is the CHERRY PICKING BY Pope Francis. You are cherry picking as well. (With respect for your position, your own soul, and for the souls of your listeners) think carefully before posting videos telling us all how confused we are, because you will be held accountable for any deception by presenting a one sided argument. ) Yes, it is true that most people are woefully poorly catechized, precisely because people have not been catechized AT ALL, in any reasonable definition, as its teaching was forbidden as far back as about 1963 or 64, when my own father was told he was not allowed to teach it and must, instead teach humanism and Values Clarification.) And I discovered, after switching to the practice of Traditional Catholicism, the civil responsibilities, such as paying fair wages, etc., was required, under threat of mortal sin and its consequences. But you don't present it in a balanced and proper context. .... Does Pope Francis criticize Putin's private assets said to be $200 BILLION ? This is a pope that, when told he was being presented with a spiritual bouquet of 100K rosaries, said that he DID NOT CARE about that, but that he cared about lonely elderly and youth unemployment. His desire for LGBTQ people not to be treated with hate or disrespect does not justify his tolerance and promotion of homosexually active clerics while demoting Cardinal Burke. Nor does it justify his condoning civil unions while NOT vehemently condemning homosexual behavior and encouraging LGBTQ to get back in the state of grace and pray specific deliverance and binding prayers and so much more to deal with this affliction and save one';s soul. Pope Francis promotes Modernism and undermines teachings of so much of the dogma of the faith, when it goes against his NWO agenda. What about Joe Biden receiving Communion? What about his pacha mamma. idol on the altar at the Amazon Summit? And one could go on and on. . No one is attributing his being a very bad pope (and arguably a possible heretic) to him being an "idiot" as you say. OF COURSE he is driven by politics, (do you actually believe that he is not as he says the US borders should be open? (That is not a humanitarian concern as a Vicar of Christ, it is using his position os Vicar to exert political influence at a global level. ) He and his Vatican 2 predecessors have chosen to become one of the NWO world leaders, when their ONLY world role should be that of THE ONLY Vicar of Christ.

Fr Casey's conclusion about the so called "haters" of the Pope is quite misleading to say the least! I believe every faithful Catholic would want the Holy Father to succeed, but his body language reveals a lot and his double standards is clear for everyone who has eyes to see.

That’s not true. You are confusing agreement with welcoming people and treating them with kindness and respect.

Great question.!!

Don't expect him to reply any time soon.

@@reuelhermoso1227Agree - 2 mos later and no response. God bless Bishop Strickland and Cardinal Burke and all the persecuted clergy.

And he refused dialog with cardinals, who sent him dubia. (Meisner , Caffara , Brandmüller, Burke) He refused audience with cardinal Zen atd.atd.

The Pope is the leader of the Church. After continued insolence, he has a right to sanction insubordination. People trying to cause a schism in the Church are intentionally trying to manipulate the laity for their own gain, so the Pope did what any other sane leader would do.

He is cancelling Holy Mass. Are we not allowed to cry on our knees about it? Can we not say it’s not fair? I know not one ornery traditional Latin Mass attendee. We’ve done nothing wrong.

As Vicar of Christ, Pope Francis SHOULD be consecrating Russia to the Immaculate Heart, as Our Lady foretold, instep of playing NWO politician by trying to deal with Putin as a NWO political leader. (which he failed at.) ...

I brought up with my Priest the Patchamama and my Priest Said well maybe it's the Popes time in South America. Our Bishop acknowledged that Francis is controversial to lots of laity. Neither are Latin Mass Laiety

@@finallythere100 he just did

and yet, here you are contributing to the very divisiveness Pope Francis is trying to prevent. hahaha.

Receiving on the tongue while kneeling is always the right of any faithful in the Latin rite, whether it's the normative Roman Missal or the previous 1962 Missal. Cardinal Arinze explained this very well Regarding the usus antiquor, I have no easy answer to your questions and hurting. But having attended the extraordinary form too, my heart is woth you. But we should know that the heart of the issue now is not the liturgical form/externals of the Mass itself, but the reality of Vatican II, its proper hermeneutic, and the development and handing-down of doctrine and tradition. I suggest reading St. John Henry Newman, Pius XII, and the Spirit of the Liturgy (by Guardini, and then the one by Ratzinger)

@@ToxicallyMasculinelol although i don't agree with "keeping your mouth shut", my immediate response to your comment is...why not? The Catholic Church during the past two popes have said this when it came to Liberation Theology and there was no outcry from "traditional" Catholics then. You just used the very words the Catholic Church used at that time to justify the silencing of Liberation Theologians such as Leonardo Boff,...so as not to "contribute to divisiveness". But now that we have a Pope that is perceived by many conservative Catholics as being too liberal, you get to publicly dissent? AND NO...I'm not wondering why the Catholic Church is in decline in the west. It has been in decline WAY BEFORE Pope Francis.

TLM communities rejected Vatican II -- not OK

@korinthosleon The liturgy can change over time (e.g., the apostles attended a grand total of ZERO TLMs). Ecumenical council teaching is categorically different. Yours is a category error.

I LOVE Scott Hahn, but after seeing this video, I would say Scott is trying to get clarity for those who have a harder time understanding. I think he fully understands what Pope Francis is teaching and doesn’t see it as confusing. It is confusing for those who have a harder time with ambiguity. Idk, just my postulations.

We've had bad popes before and the Church has survived, as Christ told us - the gates of hell shall not prevail.

The priest became sad but said, "Friend, go for a moment to Gethsemane. All the apostles fled. Jesus is chained and suffers at seeing himself alone, abandoned by his own (Mk 14:50). Would you also abandon him? Peter followed him, yes, but later denied him (Jn 18:17). Jesus, risen from the dead, said to him: 'Feed my sheep' (Jn 21:16). And to all the apostles who had fled: 'As the Father has sent me, so I send you. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven' (Jn 20:21,23). With whom do you stand?" The young man remained confused and silent. He had much to reflect upon and decide. The words came to his mind: "Overcome evil with good" (Rom 12:21). Despite everything, Martha, Jesus remained faithful to his promises.

​@jfc6718 both are important. According to karl marx, Socialism leads to communism. Communism steals private property for "the common good". Stealing is a sin obviously. So putting the common good over private property in some circumstances could actually lead to sin. But it's likely the pope wouldn't support communism, just the step before it which leads to it.

@@lovesrlady2 love your comment. You are correct, hold on to Jesus and Mary and return to tradition! Amen Our Lady of Good Success was quite clear on what would be the demise of the Catholic Church- a lax and perverse clergy. Certain members of the Catholic clergy would become as thieves stealing that Tabernacle light...thieves that would steal what is rightfully ours- our Faith. They would rob us of Doctrine, Dogma and Tradition- ransacking the Church as it were leaving us in total darkness without the light of the Sanctuary Lamp (which signifies the presence of the Holy Eucharist). Our Lady of Good Success went into great detail about the five reasons were for the extinguishing of the light. 1st: In the end of the 19th Century and during the 20th Century, heresies would prevail not only in Ecuador, but universally. “As these heresies spread and dominate, the precious light of Faith will be extinguished in souls by the almost total corruption of customs.” 2nd: In these times, the Conceptionist Community would shrink and even be infected with bad attitudes and false charity as a result of the pervading situation of the Church. Many vocations would be lost as a direct result (considered a reflection of a more universal condition during these times). However, “The faithful souls would suffer a continuous and slow martyrdom, weeping in secret and imploring that such dire times be shortened.” 3rd: Due to the fact that during this century, a worldwide campaign against the virtues of chastity, and purity would succeed in ruining the youth. Our Lady of Good Success affirmed, “There will be almost no virgin souls in the world.” 4th: The MASONIC and other secret sects would have so much influence on society and even the Church. “During these unfortunate times,” she foretold, “evil will invade childhood innocence. In this way, vocations to the priesthood will be lost, resulting in a true calamity.” Our Lady of Good Success could foresee that there would still be some good, faithful religious that would be willing to suffer all for the salvation of souls and sustenance of the Holy Catholic Church. “The secular clergy will leave much to be desired because priests will become careless in their sacred duties. Lacking the divine compass, they will stray from the road traced by God for the priestly ministry, and they will become attached to wealth and riches, which they will unduly strive to attain. How the Church will suffer during this dark night! Lacking a prelate and a father to guide them ... many priests will lose their spirit, placing their souls in great danger.” The poor priestly souls that would be left to uphold the Church would suffer greatly. “Against them the impious will rage a cruel war, overwhelming them with vituperations, calumnies and vexations in order to stop them from fulfilling their ministry. But they, like firm columns, will remain unswerving and will confront everything with a spirit of humility …” Our Lady of Good Success implored that the people of this time should “clamor insistently” to the Heavenly Father for an end to ‘these ominous times’ sending to the Church a prelate and father who would restore the spirit to the priests… In order to dissipate this black cloud, that prevents the Church from enjoying the clear day of liberty, there will be a formidable and frightful war, ... This night will be most horrible, for, humanly speaking, evil will seem to triumph. This, then, will mark the arrival of my hour, when I in a marvelous way, will dethrone the proud and cursed Satan, trampling him under my feet and fettering him in the infernal abyss. Thus, the Church and Country will be finally free of his cruel tyranny. 5th: The lamp went out was due to those who have the “financial means to help the Church but do nothing.

That’s the reason young ppl are leaving the Church. There’s no logic in the teachings. A young mind will not accept a doctrine that is illogical “ magical” and that can not be argued agains. Jesus Himself welcomed intelligence and curiosity. He recognized it we praised it and in recognition of their superiority of mind taught them more and deeply. Please don’t forget we should not compare ourselves to the pple of 2000 3000 5000 years ago. We evolved and hopefully will not follow anyone blindly. Which is good. Blind faith is originated in fear and by peoples who have zero self reliance. I myself prefer to think of Jesus the man the human. We can’t relate to His divinity because in His divinity He is perfect. Perfection is Gods business. But as a man the Lord is approachable. By consistent exercises we can become excellent and emulate His live and understanding of our fellow pple. It reminds of Camu: Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead Walk beside me… just be my friend Albert Camus As a friend and mentor and a fellow human we can better relate to one another. Peace in our hearts.

Luckily this call has been heard and actions to attempt remedy are now here, 2023 Ascension Press started their Catechism in a Year Podcast. Also as cradle Catholic I also heard the call few months ago, tell me to understand the Catechism more and I said I wish there was a podcast. And now we do.

Cause to them it’s not an important part if their life. It’s just the religion you where raised in. It’s different to you specially because you are a convert. You must have acted a lot about it to actually go through the trouble and devotion of choosing it.

Jeff Cavins explained it well in one of his talks. He was raised Catholic, left and became a Protestant pastor, then returned to the Catholic Church. He said it's like an 8th sacrament was introduced, the "Sacrament of Osmosis." We were just supposed to absorb knowledge, even with poor teaching. I remember some of my "lessons" in religion classes, and I left thinking, "What was I supposed to get out of THAT?"

To sum up. There is no right or wrong.

Is it the problem of the people who are members or the church for allowing it's members to be illiterate in its faith?

Socialism is much more complicated than “state-mandated giving”

As was stated, popes have been pontificating on social justice, economics, the environment, labors rights etc long before Pope Francis and even before Marx. Modernist conservative are trying to make a connection between laissez faire capitalism and Catholicism that simply does not exist and never did. On the contrary, capitalism as we knew it grew from Calvinism and I’ll let you do your own research on that yourself. The church has condemned greed and usury since the beginning, with Saint Thomas Aquinas writing treatises on fair wages that would eventually be used by catholic labor activists. This does not mean the church was or is socialist. Socialism has a very specific definition that the American right uses out of context. It simply means the interests of the church and her teachings do not cater to capitalism. Never have and never will. I attend the TLM weekly and keep many of the old traditions that were sadly lost after Vatican II and I think heavy ecumenism is doing more harm than good; we are enabling heresy and damning peoples souls. I do wish the pope would leave the Latin mass communities alone

@@adamleetucker3964 I agree with 90% of what you said. But the point I would like to emphasize is that the Catholic church practiced proto-capitalism where the Benedictine monks went to spread the Gospel in Germany and taught the local inhabitants how to make goods and take them to market. So they still owned their own time and labor. That system was still an improvement over the slave based economy of the Romans and the Feudal serf system of the Dark and Middle Ages. And some people would say that system is still better than the Laissez Faire capitalism of Adam Smith. I mean as your own boss you can decide your own vacation time and whether you need a vaccine shot or not. That is what I was referring to. Our education system teaches you how to be an employee. The real emphasis should be on how to become a entrepreneur. So the Benedictines had a leg up on the Calvinists. And yes you can make a very good case that modern Capitalism has its failures as well when divorced from the Gospel. One can see the environmental damage and exploitation of workers in Europe that Charles Dickens wrote about and is still happening in Asia today. The Jesuits had an economic system in Paraguay that was a hybrid socialist/capitalist economy. Some Catholic writers like E. Michael Jones advocate that. Thank you for your response.

However, Juan, Church teaching requires you (as you may know) to give to Francis "religious submission of mind and will" regarding his teaching as per Lumen Gentium 25: " This religious submission of mind and will must be shown in a special way to the authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, even when he is not speaking ex cathedra; that is, it must be shown in such a way that his supreme magisterium is acknowledged with reverence, the judgments made by him are sincerely adhered to, according to his manifest mind and will. His mind and will in the matter may be known either from the character of the documents, from his frequent repetition of the same doctrine, or from his manner of speaking."

Could not have said it better myself

There is only one Holy Father, and it's not the Pope! The Catholic Catechism declares, that the Pope is infallible. He cannot be wrong, and everything he does is correct. And yet this pope is no different from any other. Just sinful men, who have sought glory, veneration, power, and wealth. Responsible for the death of millions of Christians, and currently leading over 1 billion souls to the pit with their pagan traditions of men.

The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with the selection of the modern popes. They agitate for office and gain supporters.

Wise words Jerry. Our Lord's teachings are absolute, providing clear guidance. The ambiguity that is being offered in this video undermines our Lord's ministry, however, it is not our job to judge anyone, including the Pope. Equally, it's not our role to guess God's plan. Our mission and gift is to imitate Jesus and follow Mother Mary's request to pray for the Church. Thank you for reading my view.

As clear as water.

The problem is not whether God's teachings are absolute, it's what his teachings actually are. Conservative Christians think they know God's teachings, but *they don't* . They have been fooled. They undermine God's authority by spreading hate through literalist and fundamentalist interpretations of the Bible.

Jerry, your absolute(ly) correct. Lol

The Ecclesiology of Popes John Paul II and Benedict helped to form Vatican II, not the other way around. Those wise men both matured in a world that used ambiguity and nuance as weapons to peel otherwise orthodox Catholics from the Church. To assert otherwise is to pedal popular truths over timeless ones, clearly discussed in Holy Scripture and maintained by the teaching authority of the Church for millenia. I entered adulthood in the 1970s, and I've seen human carnage that followed the popular teaching of situation ethics that so permeated intellectual discourse at that time. It advocated a similar "nuanced through Love" view of such social issues as abortion. To my ears, arguments in support of the Holy Father sound too much like the lyrics of that old song with just a new melody. Our current Pope is confusing. That is precisely why his personal orthodoxy continues to be questioned within and outside of the Church. It is true that Love is to be the measure of all things. But, it is gross error to maintain that love can make 35 inches into a yard when maintaining the House of God.

Unfortunately, not much debate can be had with those that Fr. Casey mentions. I applaud Fr. Casey for referring to them directly as he does.

@@heatherthompson6343 It doesn't have to be anyone he mentions. There are plenty of well-educated priests and laymen who love the Church and don't agree or understand many of the Pope's actions.

@@alondraceja9618 there’s a whole comment thread that you can look in this comment section. I posted some and other people have added to it. This includes have the Patchmama on the altar, and priests bowing to it.

This was while a group of bishops was trying to determine if Biden should be excommunicated from the church cause of his pro abortion stance. Again. There are many more actions. Not just words which is the only thing Father Casey defends with his arguments.

Nobody with a brain takes TM seriously.

I think that would be a long video, but I think Fr. Casey could do it. Burke, Vigano, and Marshall are all really quite dullminded when it come to Thomistic analysis of Francis' teaching. For example, Serge-Thomas Bonino (cf his article in "The Thomist") explains why Amoris Laetitia is morally sound. Burke the canon lawyer is a lousy Thomist. Marshall is quasi Protestant and a poor strict-observance Thomist (which was rejected at Vatican II). Vigano is basically a senile conspiracy theorist. Truly a bunch of dummies when it comes to analyzing Francis' work. Just my take lol.

It´s unacceptable, it´s political pressure, he is not entitled to do it!!!

@@edwardbaker1331 exactly!!!

He won't judge me. I will still go to heaven for hell doesn't exist." ohhhhh my goodness Fr. Casey!!! smh.

I don't think that's true. What the people want who he is criticizing is acknowledgment of an objective truth. It's not mercy to imply a sin is not a sin or to be so ambiguous that one could draw that conclusion.

You can’t have mercy without justice.

I was surprised by this harsh criticism as well

I really am not a fan of Fr Cassey but he's made a few good points over the last few years I've followed him. But his criticism and accusation of the good cardinal is a low for me.

It is a terrible slander against a good shepherd in the Church that has done much to invigorate the spiritual lives of the people.

I used to watch his videos often for a couple years, learned from them, and enjoyed them but then he seemed more condescending "snarky" in tone or had titles listed only to discover that really wasn't what he was going to discuss, was just clickbait. I only watched this one bc I often have confusion re the Pope's words and actions. I pray for the Pope in my morning and night prayers, I love his humility and charity to the poor and homeless but then the Pope welcomes and praises corrupt and baby murder advocate Joe Biden. Jesus pointed to the little ones in the Bible and said not to do any harm to such as these. These unborn were created in the image and likeness of God.

He says "their words are pouring gasoline on a fire." He does not say that they are lying, but he insists they know what they are doing. I agree with most of them, but unfortunately I think they lead many into a poor place, where the faithful believe they don't have a shepherd, and the only salvation lies in their way or position.

@@snivithefox 10:35 he claims that the men he mentioned are willing to spread lies. I agree that those he mentioned can be confusing and are in no way ultimate authorities on matters of faith. Unfortunately, in a climate where there are legitimate concerns, there are those who stand to gain from clicks, subscriptions and increased internet traffic, all at the expense of the faithful.

This kind of persons doesn't dialogue

It's not "attack on TLM", it's more about not really good trends among those who secluded themselves from their parishes, go to so called "traditional catholic groups" and create dangerous echochamber. Its also about rite - latin church have one main rite, not two - TLM is not another rite. There are smaller, traditional rites in latin church, like ambrosian rite, but they are limited to certain geographic area. The error of so called "traditionalist" is not dogmatic error, but it's still an error - there is not "Novus Ordo mass" and "Traditional Latin Mass" - there is only one rite, that is presented in Missale Romanum. Vatican see that there is potential danger in spread of ideas that so called "Traditionalist" teach, but it doesn't think that they are bad - "Traditionis custodes" clearly state that church love them, that church uphold its tradition and want those who are focused on upholding traditions and piety of liturgy, to stop organise themselves in separated grups from their Parishes, and Instead of that, vatican wants them to be more involved in their home parishes, int keeping tradition and correct liturgy in common catholic churches. Vatican clearly stated "You want to keep traditions? That's great, but stop with your attack on the whole of "ordinary form" of Roman Rite, and instead of that, be more focus on upholding Dignity of mass in your local church".

@@prkp7248 The arguments to your logic are incorrect. The Latin Masses that Pope Francis put a stop to were being held in parish churches, by parish priests and attended by the churches parishioners in conjunction with Novus Ordo masses. The other rites you spoke of (i.e. Byzantine rite, Ukrainian rite) are actually practiced all over the world and celebrate their faith with the Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great, which are quite different from the Roman Catholic Liturgy as reformed after the Second Vatican Council. As a side note Pope Benedict who brought back the Latin Mass for all priests was one of the primary theologians of Vatican II, Francis is not a theologian and was still in the seminary at the time of Vatican II.

Pope Francis doesn't point to Christ. He points to a climate change emergency. He points to legalising homosexual acts in Africa. He points regularly and often to conservative catholics and especially traditionalist catholics, for being rigid and pharisaical and coldhearted, for being “all stiff in black cassocks” and wearing “grandma’s lace”. And then Pope Francis also points out his fellow bishops "about laying closed hearts, which bare the closed hearts which frequently hide even behind the Church’s teachings or good intentions, in order to sit in the chair of Moses and judge, sometimes with superiority and superficiality, difficult cases and wounded families..” Apparently Pope Francis does know what other people think so thankfully he alone doesn't need to admit that he doesn't know.

Pope Francis a true follower of Christ and the Gospel! Thank you Father Casey. This needed to be said.

@@joelarkin4268 Personally I am not atheist but from atheists, I have met most of them actually didn't flat out strictly believe in no divine presence. They just did not know how to define that presence. Thus they genuinely were curious and searching, potentially believing there could be something, but not having a strict definition of what that something was. A sort of spaghetti monster in the sky scenario I guess. @o3depleter probably has more personal experience, I believe they or someone else whose atheist can definitely give a better answer. Take care

And when the church taught them, they say they were forced. You want your free time, and good understanding of the church teachings which takea time. You want it all but sacrifice nothing. Well, sounds fair to me.

Describing the papacies of Popes JP and B as totalitarian isn't hateful to clown priests. Reading the mind and soul of Cdnl Burke et al (which isn't a thing) and describing it as evil without evidence or an argument isn't hateful to clown priests. Describing the catholic laity as stupid and ignorant isn't hateful to clown priests. It's de rigeur, apparently. The Church has been in your hands for 50 odd years...... do you think you and your ilk have done a good job?

Your theory presupposes the the MSM doesn't support Pope Francis. He's been on the cover of 'Time' on 5 occasions and the the oldest gay rights magazine in the United States named Pope Francis its "Person of the Year" for 2013. They may have lost their earlier manic enthusiasm but they recognise him as one of their own ideologically. And they certainly do hate the Catholic Church. Which rather begs the question.

@@Jimboken1 Or the MSM is twisting Pope Francis’ words to fit their own agenda and falsely claiming the Catholic Church now aligns with their beliefs. This is false. What better way for them to undermine the church and cause confusion? They also want justification for their world view. I find it strange how much people question the MSM but them believe everything they read about the pope. They misunderstand Catholic social teaching and want to craft it their own image.

I just love everything about Bishop, ABp? Fulton Sheen. Even back when I wasn’t supposed to like Catholics. There’s something about beautiful handwriting on a chalkboard that a computer just can’t capture~~~
