@@JukeBoxDestroyer What an insightful, substantive comment. Tell us you're a denier without telling us you're a denier. 🙄

@@drstewart i never take anything anyone says at face value, especially someone who was using the church for communist activities or abusing the catholic network to spy against his own country. truth be told.

Morning smile is here......blessings and appreciation to you n yours.@@drstewart

Dachau was first Nazi concentration camp in Germany and was opened in 1933 shortly after Hitler was appointed Chancellor . The initial purpose of the camp was for the mass imprisonment of Nazi political opponents. Within only a couple of years the camp also detained those that were seen as enemies of the Reich such as homosexuals, criminals, any clergy that spoke out against the Nazi regime and of course Jewish people. The camp consisted of 32 barracks and this included one for clergy. The camp held approximately 2500 priests and roughly only a third survived. There were many other priests, nuns and clergy from across Europe that were in other Nazi camps. The person that wrote “bull”. Can you please explain? Also to the person that is suggesting denial. Can you please explain? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your life experience. I cried reading. A beautiful Testimony! May God bless you always!!

Have you come across 'the spiritual way' by any chance. It describes three steps towards greater union with God, the purgative, the illuminative and the unitive way. Dr Ralph Martin has written an excellent book on it called 'The Fulfillment of all Desire' which is an amazing resource to guide you towards the spiritual resources. Plus theres some notable resources on YT if you use the terms I provided in your searching.

Leonard Nimoy explained in his autobiography that the gesture was something he saw as a boy in temple. It is a gesture of blessing employed by the Kohanim (priests) in Judaism. As Cohen was from this lineage, its presence in his emblem is like an element in a family crest. Very appropriate, hardly a "dark meaning." No need for conjecture when the simple truth is out there.

@robertfirek8994 I confess that for the LC part I just copied a montage from Vendée Radio... but it says a lot with a few words. I used to love some of his songs; now not so much.

I was an LC fan as a teenager and beyond, but not since I returned to the Church 5 years ago and discovered the traditional faith.

​@ScriptureandTraditionFrJM Hi Fr Mawdsley, I know this may not be the appropriate place for this comment, however I couldn't find a way to contact you other than YT comments on this channel. I have learned a lot from you over the past months since I saw your interview with Kennedy Hall. Most recently I watched your discussion with the Avoiding Babylon channel and I wish to bring up something that I believe you are mistaken about with the hopes that you'll look into it a bit more. I believe your views on the Divine Will information from Jesus, as written down by the servant of God, Luisa Picaretta are misguided, potentially by a secondary source that has either miscommunicated or twisted the actual teachings. As someone who is also familiar with Kabbalah and other esoteric religions/philosophies, as well as the Divine Will writings, I must say they couldn't be further apart from one another. The writings on the Divine Will are fully in line with Scripture and Tradition, fully approved by the Church and recommended by many great saints including St Annibale, St Pio and St Pope Pius X (Pope Pius actually exclaimed that Luisas writings, specifically the Hours of the Passion, were Jesus speaking and should be read on one's knees. I actually just watched a short presentation on the Divine Will specifically for Priests and Bishops and will link it in a follow up comment. I pray you give it a listen and if you are interested in a more full treatise on the matter, I would recommend the book Thy will be done be professor Daniel O'Connor, or the Pontifically approved doctoral dissertation by Fr Iannuzi. I know you have a mind and thirst for truth, and wish to share that truth with other for the glory of God and salvation of souls. You will find no greater outlet for those qualities than from diving more deeply into the verifiable and true life and writings of Luisa on God's Will.

Nothing to be disturbed about. The painting is of the Lamb of God (by Zurubban, who died 1664). Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. He went to His death meekly, like a lamb to the slaughter, He did not open His mouth (did not bleat, complain, accuse etc). So the lamb in the painting is a symbol, reminding us of Jesus' perfect love and fortitude. By His supreme sacrifice on Calvary, He put an end to all animal sacrifice (where human sacrifice was always forbidden by God). He calls us to imitate His sacrifice by dying in little ways each day (i.e. learning to be patient, not to be materialistic, to give alms to the needy, to fast etc). On rare occasions, having perfected a heart in love, God is pleased to accept someone's offering of themself in martyrdom. But no one can just choose this for themself. It has to be in co-operation with God -- it can only operate by two-way love. The world does not understand that. But Jesus is the teacher. If you wish to understand more about the lamb, you could look up Acts 8:32, and Isaiah 53:7. Anyway, God bless.

There is too much wrong-headedness here for me to address in the comments. But thank you for your good wishes.
