Ralph Martin - Is This the Worst Crisis the Church Has Ever Faced? 

Thank you, Ralph, for being the calm, strong voice of reason in confusing times.

Thank you Dr Martin ❤ May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you 🙏 🙌 ❤️

I’m always encouraged by sitting in this classroom! Thanks Dr. Ralph! 💙💛💙

Thank you, Dr Ralph, for your encouragement, without which I'd truly despair.

We have been given a great gift in you, Dr. Martin. I wait for everything that you give us. You are an inspired source for all of us who need direction. Bless you.

Good morning from Scotland I've just watched this video. Grateful to you for researching the crisis in our Holy Catholic church. Agreed there have been times worse that this in the past. With regard to the new "prefect of the doctrine of the Catholic faith" I had occasion to go to confession about the most uncharitable feelings I was harbouring against this Archbishop. My Confessor wasn't in agreement with me regarding a book published by this same cleric! In fact he advised me to go read the book to fully discern the "meaning" of it. He also said that those speaking against our present pontiff and his "team" around him had "got it all wrong" I downloaded extracts of this book, as advised by my confessor and sadly my opinion was worse than before as I read it. I feel we are heading towards a great precipice within the Catholic church and pray with all my heart that we "STOP" the utter madness which is escalating with each passing day. God bless you in your work at renewal ministries. I've signed up for your newsletter as I do want to keep informed. Thank you and God bless.

God bless Renewal Ministries

God bless you Ralph !!! Greetings from Krakow Poland and Chicago USA !

It seems worse now because we all know about it and hear all the conflicting and opposing viewpoints. In the 4th century many Christians probably had no idea what went on in the hierarchy.

The biggest crisis was between Good Friday and Easter Sunday and we know how that turned out. God bless

Thank you for keeping us informed Ralph! 🙏

Ralph, big fan. But I do have an additional question. Was the personal behavior of the laity, and some clerics as corrupt as today? Was there abortion, gay marriage, so many children being born out outside marriage, were only 25% of Catholics attending mass? Etc etc etc. the stuff outside the church makes me wonder, if yes it is worse?

Great work and lesson in Church History. Genesis 3:15 will always be in play. We are the Church Militant, so I will change your word of Crisis to battle. This battle is authored behind the veil but played out in the human element and carried out on the earth. The Immaculate Heart will Prevail. Thanks for soldiering the battle.Souls are at stake. Oremus!

Thankyou Dr Ralph, for the encouragement you give us. I hear you from México. Prayers for you and RM and all our church. Have a beautiful day.

Thanks for continiung this important message for the Church right now Ralph, and it was great to meet you and have you in Perth Australia for the Cornerstone Conference. Hope you have recovered from the Loooong flight home. ✈️

Excellent analysis Ralph as always. Thomas More, by the way, was a lay man. It’s telling that Fisher, More & John the Baptist all died by beheading for the same reason; for publicly defending Gods plan from the beginning for marriage and human sexuality. Paul from Belfast👍🙏

Thank you Dr. Martin. Arianism still creates conflict today. So much to consider.

God bless you Ralph. Excellent video!

Thank you, Ralph. You have a way with dispelling much fear. Thank you for your discussion in such a calming manner. The issues here are so disturbing, attacking not only our Catholic morals but the moral fabric of our entire culture. I have noticed even my adult children and adult grandchildren softening their attitudes, saying, "...whatever, as long as it doesn't affect me." It affects everyone. So, again, thank you for putting some perspective on this.

Thank Dr. Martin! God Bless you🙏🙏

Wow. I was wrong when in an earlier comment I’d claimed this current crisis is worse. Very clever report on the Arian crisis, which used language deceitfully, among other things, and unfolded to terrible lengths. “The fault lines are there” in today’s crisis; the earthquake could be averted if appropriate exposition of evil and proper remedies are enacted. Lord, have mercy on your bride. Well done, thank you, Ralph!

Thank you for your honesty and boldness! May God bless you

Troubling times for faithful Catholics.

How much I needed to hear this video Mr. Martin.....i never ask God for a sign because I feel it's nit trusting In Him...but I re-post much on FB & things have become so confusing & I constantly anx over making a "mis-take" & misleading someone. Thank you for giving me exactly what I needed to post right now & in such a truthful, concerned, gentle yet powerful way....Jesus & Mary answered my prayers through your words! You are in my prayers along with all Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, & Pope Francis🙏

Thank you for all your work!

I am of the opinion that we have a far more pervasive yet subtle spiritual malaise today.

This was AWESOME. I really enjoyed this! Thank you.

This is a really helpful presentation Ralph , thank you . Appreciation and blessings from Sydney Australia .

Thank you for the insights …and your desire for truth …

Rod Bennett also has a great book that covers this topic and more called “The Apostasy That Wasn’t”. Excellent. Helped me get perspective and remember to trust God more about the current situation. If you don’t have time to read the book watch some interviews and talks by Bennett on the book. Just a suggestion 😉

Thank you, Dr Martin, very much. I personally respect and value your faithful, intellectual and unhistrionic discussion of the present crisis that we're in- it certainly reinforces the themes of your book. As just a Catholic in the pew who reads, The Arian Crisis was fundamentally a theological one. Our present crisis is bit more broad. To me, it is an attempt to overturn key Magesterial teachings primarily of the Church's foundational stance on human sexuality and the family. This is a precursor to the End Times in my opinion.

Really informative. Helps me put things in perspective. Thank you so much.

I AM also glad to see You are still active in the Church

God Bless you Dr. Ralph 🙏Thank You

Thank you, Mr. Ralph.

Amen, and thank you for the great clarification of the topic of the state of the catholic church.

Wonderful presentation, Ralph. One small point: St Thomas More was the Lord High Chancellor of Henry VIII's government; he wasn't a bishop. Bishop John Fisher was the ONLY bishop who opposed Henry VIII becoming the head of the English Church.

God bless you Ralph.

Thank you so much for this. Truly valuable information that I needed to know.

Thank you

Excellent argument for the reason we need the Church and the Scriptures. God bless you, Ralph.

Dear Dr Ralph Martin, You are so Blessed. kris-Reinhart Audoore Ethiopia

Thank you for explaining this. I was feeling the same way about how bad it was back then. God bless you ❤

Thanks. In an odd way, it gives me hope.

Incredible video

Thank you... many blessings

I AM SO glad to find your Chanel. I belong to the carismática renewal since 197s

Thank you for reminding us of our history. I wonder if the outcome of this crisis will be an Ecumenical council to define sexuality, gender, marriage and the role of men and women. It’s much needed.

Today, Sept 30, is the feast of Saint Jerome. I did a little research on him and his times, the controversies during those times, and how, with his special, rather difficult person- ality, dealt with his detractors. Loyal and strong in faith, he survived. And amidst the crisis, and all times when there was a crisis, the Church survived - as promised by her founder - Jesus, the Son of God. As a simple member of the laity, I am not afraid of what's happening in the Church now. I believe it is another period of purification, and if the Church has to shrink a bit for this to happen, so be it. (Didn't a past pope say something to this effect?) (Greetings from the Philippines.)

Not yet! Pray now for our children and grandchildren who may go through another Arian takeover. 🙏

The Father is greater can be seen in the family: the father is greater than a son, but they are equal as human beings.

Dear Dr Martin, have you read Fr Charles Murr’s book ‘Murder in the 33rd Degree’? If so what are your thoughts? As a follow up, what are your thoughts on the SSPX? God bless, David

Wasn’t the Jansenist controversy pretty dire too?

Arianism was pretty damn bad. Imo, it was the worst period for the Church, because it was not only such a fundamental heresy, but it was so pervasive, to the point that more Christian realms than not had embraced it.

The current generation has received what the previous generation has done and the next generation will receive what this generation has done.

What is the Arian crisis?

I think we are supposed to still practice obedience to the magisterium tho. I know theres a lot of here say. We just gotta buckle down in prayer. God will handel it.

Nope.

I like when Bishop Saint Nicholas cold cocked Arius right in the face. Do an image search for some AI art on that.

Definitely not the worst crisis. SM is a lot to blame for the hysteria, along with the rise of 'super hero' syndrome. SM can be used for good & bad - that's why discernment is important. When Catholics are so worked up online that they magnify every problem, call for heads to roll & engage in crystal ball Catholicism & gossip, perhaps they might be consuming the wrong things? Afterall, we know very little of what 'actually' goes on, who is or is not being chastised other than what is released publicly. Some chose to advertise it, some dont. Btw, twitter is the worst! Fake news city!

Thank you for your study Ralph. We appreciate it so much
