As a Protestant being pulled to the Catholic faith I watch everything I can find on the faith. This interview was wonderful!! I find him so likable and honest. I love that the Bishop is close to me as well! I’m only an hour away from his East Texas home. ❤️
With an addo: JP II kissing Al Quran, was is a good public statement of Faith and of Truth? And as we know, He also missed the Cardinal Carrick, it was all under His very nose. We have to pray for all. God bless.
Bishop Strickland is a True Shepherd. A True Shepherd speaks the Truth and is not afraid to show the flock about falsehoods that is prevalent in our modern society. It is painful that he is being removed as a Shepherd. To love is not just to be kind and embrace what is clearly wrongdoing especially secularism but to turn away from our sinful ways though how painful the message maybe. That is true love. The message of progressing for the sake of progressing is wrong. As Bishop Strickland says look to Christ and his message and not to bracket his teachings. Amen.
Bishop Strickland came and gave a talk for a fundraiser for a tiny Catholic school that employs me. It meant so much to have such a fervent and unapologetic bishop give up his time to visit us. He truly is one we need more of today.
I posted this several months ago. NOT one catholic has replied! Why???? Catholics claim Sunday is a holy day made by God. I will ask these questions again which NO ONE can answer. And I know you will NOT!!! Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE RESTED on the First day of Creation?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE BLESSED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE SANCTIFIED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE NAMED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special). Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE DECLARES the First day of the week as HIS HOLY DAY?--(to make the day special). --------FACTS: The ONLY DAY GOD RESTED on---7th day. The ONLY DAY GOD BLESSED---7th day. The ONLY DAY GOD SANCTIFIED---7th day. The ONLY DAY GOD named--7th day.-Sabbath -Isaiah 58:13 The ONLY DAY GOD DECLARES AS HIS HOLY DAY------7th day---Sabbath--Isaiah 58:13 .Quote the Holy Bible and prove me wrong!!!
Speaking from the future. "Bishop Strickland was asked to resign on Thursday, which he refused to do, according to Vatican News. Francis later made the decision to remove the bishop and appoint the bishop of Austin, . . ."
This bishop speaks like a saint. No convoluted, ambiguous talk. Just the Sacraments, the centrality of Christ and the infinite love of God. “You need the Eucharist and Confession to be healed”, “Always keep Christ at the centre”. “Pray for the repentance of those who need Christ (including your enemies)”. And above all, “God loves you more than you could ever imagine” (I’m paraphrasing). Very simple, yet very deep. And so beautiful. Such is our faith. What a gift to his diocese and to the Church. A true apostle of Christ. God bless him. And you, Matt, for bringing him to us 🙏
His mother must have the "down to earth" mentality of her older Australian generation. Hence, he is well "grounded" in faith as a Catholic Bishop. Praise & glory to God!

Bishop Strickland is a true pastor. Humble and respectable. I will pray for him. Padre Pio was also persecuted during his ministry, and finished being a saint!!! Bishop Strickland is a saint.
After all the arrogance i have witnessed and experienced from certain Catholic bishops this man's humility and loyalty to Christ, the true vicar, is refreshing and liberating
I wanted to hear Bishop Strickland because of Father Altman, who I thought and still think is a holy man. Bishop Strickland has humility, intelligence and courage. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing him.
Hilaire Belloc puts it succinctly, "There is no such thing as a religion called "Christianity"_there never has been such a religion. There is and always has been the Church, and various heresies proceeding from a rejection of some of the Church's doctrines by men who still desire to retain the rest of her teaching and morals. But there never has been and never can be or will be a general Christian religion professed by men who all accept some central important doctrines, while agreeing to differ about others. There has always been, from the beginning, and will always be, the Church, and sundry heresies either doomed to decay or grow into a separate religion. Of a common Christianity there has never been and never can be a definition, for it has never existed. There is no essential doctrine such that if we can agree upon it we can differ about the rest: as for instance, to accept immortality but deny the Trinity. A man will call himself a Christian though he denies the unity of the Christian Church; he will call himself a Christian though he denies the presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament; he will cheerfully call himself a Christian though he denies the Incarnation. No; the quarrel is between the Church and the anti-Church_the Church of God and anti-God_the Church of Christ and anti-Christ." Refusing the Church is refusing Christ. Kyrie eleison.
With respect and all the gentleness I can muster, Tim, let me suggest to you what Sonia below is trying to convey with her quote: that Jesus established--personally, while alive upon the earth--one living Church, founded upon one living man, Peter, and that he explicitly promised us that the gates of hell would never prevail against it no matter how dire things might look to our eyes at any given time. That is Christ's promise, not ours. The purpose of that Church is twofold: to provide the Sacraments--vessels of God's grace--to all true believers to aid them in their spiritual journey, and to provide the infallible truth about Jesus to the world so that they will not be turned aside by false teachers, such as themselves. The Church didn't come from the Bible, the Church came from the living Christ, and has been passed down to us through an unbroken succession of living apostles--all imperfect men, like Peter himself. The books of the Bible came from the Church, which looked at all the writings circulating throughout the world purporting to be accurate depictions of history and true theological teachings regarding Jesus. From that long list they derived the canon of Holy Scripture--of completely true texts--as it stands today. There was never a claim that Scripture contained all truth, or even every truth about Jesus--only that what was there was true. It was and still is, always the function of the living Church, and not the Bible (although the Church uses the Bible as an infallible source of guidance, the way a captain uses a map), to define, maintain, and zealously guard the truth. (Note that Jesus left us no writings, which he surely would have if that was the mode of transmission he had intended.) The upshot of all of this is that the true, complete Jesus Christ is only to be found in one place: his beloved bride, the (Catholic) Church. To believe anything contrary to authentic Church teaching is to believe, often unwittingly but nonetheless as a matter of fact, in a false, truncated, incomplete Jesus...a false god, who has no power to save. I tell you this not to mock or criticize, because I believe you're an honest man who wants to know Jesus in his fullness, whereas history has gotten in the way of that; I tell you this to encourage you and strengthen you, in the hope that you will rejoin Christ's Church--the Catholic Church--the Church that (I'm guessing here) your ancestors abandoned, and reunite yourself with the living Son of God, who is to be found, not in your imagination, nor even in Scripture (PLEASE see John 5:39-40), but only in the Holy Eucharist of the Mass. This is what Jesus himself commanded when he said that unless you eat his flesh you have no life in you. You will either believe him and listen to him or you won't. I consider you, sincerely, my brother in spirit, and look forward to the day when I can call you, and all others like you, my brother in fact. May that be God's will.
I am a Catholic convert from an evangelical background. I am so happy to hear this bishop speak truth and life to his flock. Satan doesn't want the truth raised up in the church . I'm very concerned that today the Pope has decided to terminate Bishop Strickland's position as a Bishop within the Church. Bishop Strickland, Jesus sees your heart and blesses your speaking His truth to His children. Don't be discouraged and don't give up speaking Christ's truth.....it is desperately needed in a world lost in sin. I ask God to bless you and your ministry abundantly. You are a blessing to more souls than you know. Your humility and frankness in addressing the questions shows your courage and willingness to be honest and open with all concerned.
This is the first time I heard and seen this program, it’s amazing my I phone and I thank God Bless you and the co-moderated! Will be looking for this program again soon!
This broadcast was an answer to my prayer. I was feeling so confused and full of despair. Just hearing the bishop say seek Jesus. So simple and yet very freeing. Thank you Bishop Strickland
@@petrichor5294 Man why the negativity? If Pope Francis does or does not, what can we do about it? Do as the good Bishop said put your faith in Christ and don't worry about other stuff that you can't know or change... Matthew 6: 31-34 "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. *“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today."*
I am returning to my Catholic religion after 21 years of Christian Church Going. I am determined to begin 2024 in the Catholic Churxh as my Father raised me. Please pray I go the right church here in Nevada to return to Catholicism. Thank You.
Just watched this episode with Matt Fradd and Bishop Strickland and found your comment. How did you make out in going back to the Catholic faith? What has your experience been with your new Church?
A sane voice in these crazy times! We need to look to Jesus and his teachings.. and turn away from judging and gossiping, We are all children of God! Thank you Bishop Strickland 🙏🏻

Bishop, a term derived through the Saxon (biscop) from the Greek (ἐπίσκοπος, episcopus, overseer) as a title of office in the Christian ministry.

It lasted 45 minutes and I am not ashamed to tell you, I cried like a baby during my Homecoming. Been attending the TLM ever since. Praise God for the Sacrament of Reconciliation!!! God bless the TLM. Together they changed the vice in my life and helped me contend with and overcome an incredibly dark past. Velox Versutus Vigilans
Wonderful bishop .. holy, humble, intelligent and has never lost the mission of the Church. He's the 'real mccoy'. If we had more like him in the Church, we'd be in great shape. He faces the evils of the day with an evangelical heart, and doesn't get suffused by them. I love the man and thank God for him. .. a model bishop for our times.
As a hard core protestant evangelical .... this is AWESOME!!! Jesus, forgive me for wallowing in my ignorance and pretending that I had a firm grip on Truth
@@edukaeshn Tough question. Almost impossible to answer for a 'hard core Protestant'...cos there are 44,999 OTHER Protie faith traditions to wade through before finally discovering the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church. I hope tdoubroff is young, at least with time to wade through the insanity.
Three years ago my daughter and her family moved to the Tyler Texas area, because of Bishop Strickland. I go down to Texas every since in winter time from Canada. I’ve had a chance to meet Bishop Strickland a few times and have heard him preach, he is an awesome man, preacher and Bishop! He is a very humble man, and you can see Christ in his eyes and face! I really look forward to go down every years! God bless you both!
Bishop Strickland, thank you for being such a good Shepard. I love to hear you speak. You are so down to earth and not afraid to tell us what we need to hear to get us back on track. Thank you for supporting Fr. Altman. We need good and holy priests.
I’m a Protestant and looking in to the Catholic Church. I want to find the place I grow closer to Jesus! I have a disabled child and my serving the Lord looks very different and it’s hard to find a physical church this way. A man like this gives me hope! A pure heart for Jesus! Want to support Him in this time.
Adult convert to the Catholic Faith from Protestantism here. I love the sacraments, the saints, the tradition of prayer, and above all the apostolic succession and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. I pray for you!
This is my first time hearing Bishop Strickland. If this was radio and I didn't know it was Catholic, I would think he was an evangelist from the Paul Washer camp of Protestantism (where I currently reside in my faith). His so called "simple" messages are for everyone, regardless of walk, in a world complicated by evil. They are simply exhorting, convicting, clear and practical. How he packs all that into memorable phrases I can understand and embrace is genius. You Catholics keep blowing my mind, I'm going to have to get a new one:-)
What a lovely, wise, and humble man. Could listen to him for hours. He presents the Catholic faith to me (a non Catholic) in such an honest and attractive way. Great Interview Matt
Yes, I agree as well, another fellow Christian and sister to all Christians from all branches of Christianity. There are wonderful bishops and priests, as well as wonderful and Godly evangelists and pastors.

We pray that they do not hurt him. He needs your protection. Please send your Holy mother to take care of him and make sure he is not harmed. Amen.
God bless this true man of God! Bishop Strickland is the real deal and the epitome of what every Catholic Bishop should emulate! What an incredible shepherd of the faith! What a wonderful man!
Saw the thumbnail, freaked out, clicked, paused and scrolled down to leave a comment before I even start to listen. Thank you, thank you and thank you for this!!! One of my favorite and most influential Bishops. God bless your ministry Matt!
Minute 24, bishop says, you have to be willing to be striped of everything to follow Christ. These words hit differently now. May God bless you, witness of Christ
Praying for all of you and Bishop Strickland.🙏 Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev12:9 Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Jesus loves us all so much. He is King of Kings.
I have recently moved into Bishop Strickland's Diocese and he is truly a wonderful faithful Bishop and a wonderful Shepherd! I am so incredibly blessed!!
The truth and a little glimpse of heaven is in the Roman Catholic Church. I was going to leave. We are Catholic for generations upon generations and I am now NEVER going to leave. I am sad I wasted so much time away. I always loved God, but understanding the Church brings you even closer. There are times at Mass that I feel heaven. So beautiful.
I was born Methodist went to Catholic school became Catholic and attend St Peter & Paul in Tyler Texas. Love having Bishop Strickland prayerfully he will continue to guide our diocese.
So wonderful bishop and great advice I love as a German woman: "Keep studying, keep learning, pray, especially, spent time in prayer before Him in the blessed sacramant. He really calls us to that...seeking much deeply" and "We especially have to pray for Francis."
What a wise and Christ centered Bishop! Salvation was and is the only key to any healing and repair whether of an individual or social life! Without focusing on that we are only social workers instead of God's workers and children!
Hey Matt, I just became a supporter through your website. I complain to my friends that the church isn't doing enough with youtube and the internet to reach out to the next generation. It is time I put my money where my mouth is and support channels like yours that are helping me and others understand their faith better. Thanks for doing what you do!
Crying now...😢 beautiful Tears of Compunction. Crying over my sins and sins of others and how much our sins hurt God. How much they hurt Jesus and Mary. Go to Confession! God Bless you Bishop Strickland and Matt!
Bishop Strickland is a True Shepherd of Our Lord Jesus Christ! He is a blessing….a kind, good, and faithful Bishop who truly loves Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother and us! Thank you so much Bishop Strickland for your Faithful witness! I pray for you every day and I always give Thanks to God for sending you to us! 😇🙏
Wonderful...."the salvation of souls" is why th Church exists!!!! So true and simple and sorely needed to be heard regularly from bishops especially. Thank you so much Bishop Strickland!!
Bishop Strickland, my dad served at war, met my mother, whom was Baptist and she converted later on. He married her a few months later and they had 7 children. I was number 6 of 7. Wow! Look how much we have in common being raised Catholic and we both love Fr. Altman...bonus!
Thank you Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, for selecting this holy, good man to be the Bishop of Tyler! He is such an inspiring and a man who knows the rudiments of the Faith--I'd get behind him, and Archbishop Cordileone, Archbishop Vigano.
Thank you both for an insightful and inspiring podcast. Thank you, Bishop Strickland, for your wisdom and thoughtfulness. Thank you, Matt, for asking interesting and difficult questions and then letting Bishop Strickland share his thoughts.
I have listened this interview with Bishop Strickland and I have learned a lot from this humble Bishop. I wish one day he would be a Cardinal and then a pope. God Bless you Bishop Strickland. May God protect you and keep you safe.
I believe the Holy Spirit led me here. I truly needed this. Bishop Strickland, you have been in my daily prayers for awhile, and that will certainly continue. Thank you for your compassionate leadership. God bless you!
🙌🙌 beautiful program. I admire Bishop Strickland. We really in need of MORE bishops with the clarity & Charity of bishop Strickland. He is very knowledgeable and very humble. May God bless you 🙏
Thank you, Matt Fradd, for doing a great interview with such a sincere, loving bishop. It did my heart good to watch this, since I have been rather hard on "the bishops" in general over the past year. This really helped me to lessen my own judgmental attitude and remember what's really important.
Bishop Strickland is the most wonderful shepherd of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church and I am thankful for hearing his most informative words and I plan to continue to follow Jesus every step of the way. I am reading the Catechism now and learning so much from Fr. Mike Schmidt and I will continue to follow Jesus through the Catholic Church forevermore!
