George Weigel writes a good news article in “First Things.” Evil does not mystify or cripple Catholics for long. We fall down. Saint Augustine notes that we get up again … faster. Pro-Life endured for decades and remains in the front lines today. God holds Catholic soldiers in the palm of His hand. 😀❤️
Before watching this, I guess I really didn't connect the dots of the Roe decision and the violence against churches, even though I'm quite involved in the pro life movement. This was a wonderful interview. I especially liked the link to teaching history, as a history nerd myself, and how uplifting this was overall.
Another struggle I see for those who want to enter the priesthood is poor reading skills of today’s graduating high schoolers. Seminary is rigorous work with a lot of reading and writing. Sadly most of today’s graduating high school students cannot read well enough to be able to handle the academics within seminary. Their hearts may be in the right place but they cannot keep up with the work. Some don’t even consider becoming a priest because they know they cannot read well. Similarly other students struggle due to poor math skills. We Catholics need to do a better job at helping struggling students in our K-12 Catholic schools - the earlier the better but those who struggle to read and do math in high school need our help even more! 🙏🏻
Went to a vocations weekend at Saint John Vianny Seminary in Miami in the fall of 2019, and no one there ever really talked about or focused on Jesus either. That angered and upset me greatly, as did their constant talk about theology and philosophy with mentioning Jesus at all. Needless to say, I did not enter into the priesthood.
@FrKrupp I see your charity hasn't changed. Don't flatter yourself. I have had this account for ten years. I happened to see you in an email from CV and thought I would remind you. Well worth it.
Catholic Leadership has brought this on for decades. When they stopped preaching the Gospel and disregard the teaching of Christ which is evil. Jesus says " You are with me or you are against me"
Would you include in your personality, Christless criticism many of the statements and documents Francis has issued. I have heard exactly the same criticism of the way he presents Catholicism to the world. it would seem that many of these criticisms are spot on. How was Christ preached at AbuDabi for example....we could start there. As a life long Catholic, my very narrow personal experience is the destruction of the Church has come more from within than without. This, at my age has been the shock of my life.
True Christianity is faith alone in the death, burial and resurrection of our LORD and Savior, Jesus christ of Nazareth. HIS ATONEMENT on the cross, for OUR SIN ! "Our God is a jealous God - and He will not share His glory with another" Catholicism is not Christianity -- Eucharistic adoration, pagan - Praying to Saints and /or Mary - pagan - Holy Rosary prayers (chants - repetitive prayer) pagan. and on and on ---- True Christianity is faith alone in the death, burial and resurrection of our LORD and Savior, Jesus christ of Nazareth. "Our God is a jealous God - and He will not share His glory with another"
Holy and righteous jealousy is towards people who legitimately belong to you, while unholy and sinful jealousy is towards people who don't (belong to you). That distinction is often lost on many Christians and others today.
Do you work for CC or Edify? I don’t know you, you clearly don’t know me but perhaps more importantly, you don’t communicate like someone who knows Christ.
@@chrisparker5640mkay. So, I swore at some point, so you got indignant, filed it away, then months later created an account on RU-vid and commented one time and one time only and it was to come here and call ME the snowflake HAHAHHAHA bro, that’s fantastic.
