I attended a Catholic Church for the FIRST TIME this past Sunday and it was due to your videos. My husband, who is Agnostic - also watched your videos with me and he became interested in the Catholic faith. Thank you for helping us to get started on this journey. ❤

"Did my sisters write this." Had me cracking up.

Hi Father, I was a Mormon but am seriously considering Catholicism. Have watched you for years ! Thanks so very much!

I am an Othodox and even we have differences as churches, I have huge respect about your work and your videos. Greetings from Greece

Hi father Casey, I am going to a Roman Catholic Seminary next year with 1 year at Valladolid, Spain as a discernment year. Then either in Oscott Birmingham seminary in England or a Seminary in Rome for 6 years. Your videos have helped me discern my calling, and you have shown me a lot of things in relation to the Priesthood that have been wonderful for me to watch as a viewer. Thank you.

Don't ever change Father Casey. We love you just the way you are!

Hi Father Casey! I was Episcopalian when I first discovered your channel, although I had been thinking of becoming Catholic for some time. Your channel gave me the final push I needed to join RCIA. As a result, I was received at Easter Vigil in 2022. Thank you for all you do. It's truly making a difference.

This gets me personally. I've been so drawn to respond to negative comments, although it's not always about me. I'm more triggered when people bully someone innocent and call it "just opinion". This internet culture has made people become hyper critical.

"Maybe they haven't expressed themselves in the most charitable or intelligent way" I'm going to use this sentence whenever I'm having an argument with someone 😎

Haters make you famous. Fame brings the opportunity to reach more people. I appreciate you. And that’s coming from pre-Vat II traditionalist. May the light of the Almighty shine upon you, Father.

I've been watching these videos since I was a deeply depressed, lost, and heavily medicated teenager; through to my adulthood. These videos have helped me come closer to God, and understand my catholic faith. Complementing and supporting the many other aids I have received by the grace of God. I can truthfully say that you've made a genuinely positive impact on my life, and my desire to grow closer to christ. And for that, I can only say thank you.

Fr. Casey I am a cradle Catholic and 65+ years old. I appreciate your videos and have viewed them for years. Please continue to bring them to us. God bless you!

Father Casey your videos have helped me become stronger in my faith and I'm surprised there are people who don't have love you

Honestly I have not prayed for you father Casey so I would be lying if I say I have, but I'll do my best to include you, I just want to say thank you for your teachings, you and father Patrick have help and clarified a lot of my doubts, I'm young catholic teen seeking to live my live sustained by the hand of God, and this Chanel and the other one with Father Patrick have been helping me follow my path as a true Christian and make me laugh. Please know you and father Patrick are instruments that God sent to help people like us seeking the kingdom of our heavenly father, so may God be with you and bless you for the rest of your life. O and I'm from Guatemala so congrats for reaching us over here.

Fr. Casey, you are the best damned larper I’ve ever seen! You role-play so hard you do your best to actually live the life and tenants of your faith. Then you teach people how to role play like you? What a master!

As classily said by an unknown source: “Haters gonna hate.” Keep spreading The Gospel, Father Casey!

Catholic Twitter and Reddit is awful for anyone’s mental health. Thanks for being clear and honest about what you do!

My father taught us, "don't worry about what people say, worry if they don't say anything" You are doing a great job, I would say a holy job that people need to listen to and be heard. God bless you

As someone who was raised a Catholic and schooled in an institution run by OFM Caps in the Philippines I appreciate your videos which help me maintain and grow my faith. Shake the dust off your feet and continue reaching out to people who are accepting. Thank you Fr. Casey.

Hi Father Casey, The church needs more priests like you! God Bless you and your ministry.

We love you Father Casey! God bless you for keeping us informed about the faith. I love your videos as well.

"Who are you Lord, and who am I?" These words brought tears to my eyes.... Thanks for this essential video, and, keep up!

Hi Father Casey. I’m not even Catholic and I watch your channel. You both are very likeable !❤

Fr Casey, you were my first contact with Catholicism at the start of this year. I was so impressed how rational and charitable you portrayed your informational videos. I think that I have watched every video you have published - and now I have enrolled into RCIA. So thank you, my life has changed because of you.

Genius!! 😅 When I saw the title I knew where it was going. Catholic Twitter is no joke 😬 😶 Blessings Father! Keep on keeping on 🙏🏼

And thank you Father Casey for praying for my brother who learned that he has Tyroid cancer but God willing he will be ok. God bless

Salam sukacita untuk Romo Casey. Selalu berkarya menginspirasi kami juga umat katolik dimana saja. Senang melihat kreatifitas para imam Katolik. ❤🕯️❤️

Father Casey, your videos rekindled my love for theology and our church. Living in a secularised and polarised country like The Netherlands meant I only got in contact with a intolerant side of our community, instead of the open and loving side. You showed me that loving side. Thanks to you, I started to think more about theology and have developed a new fascination for our church. Thank you for your effort and inspiration.

Father Casey, your videos have helped me a protestant, understand what Im missing, and understand the RC position on things. I love your grounding in church history. I think I no longer know what I or anyone else is protesting against

For what its worth, i love your videos.

Thank you Fr. Casey, I'm going through a really rough period right now, and this video was exactly what I needed to see.

Fr Casey, Your authenticity, words of truth - simple yet - profound - are a gift to many of us! Let us remember what the “perfect joy” is … (“la perfetta letizia) as our beloved St Francis taught us. Keep up the good work! Pax et bonum

Heyo father Casey! I'm sorry people have been giving you grief. I appreciate your humility, your willingness to listen to feedback, and your blatant love for our Lord! Keep on keeping on, and don't forget that a lot of people do like what you're doing.

Thank you for your videos, Fr. Casey! As a convert who continues to grow in his faith and appreciate God’s love, I find your videos to be very helpful. God bless you!

Thank you, Father. This channel and Upon Friar Review helped open my heart to the Catholic faith. In one video in particular on On Friar Review, the two of you were talking about confession. Your sincere desire to see people make things right with God brought me to tears. I’m in RCIA class now and will be a full fledged Catholic next year. I’ve found a home and a family in my parish. So again, thank you!

Father Casey because of you and my faith in the God I see myself becoming part of the Catholic Church. God bless you and thank you.

Father Casey your videos have not only nourished my faith and given me hours of entertainment, but also given me a new perspective on what it means to live the Gospel. Your videos have inspired me to have discussions with my friends and family about faith, and your channel has had a genuine impact on my life. At times I even imagine what it would be like to become a friar, and the thought of religious life would have never crossed my mind if it were not for your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable in these videos. As much as I have enjoyed your videos, unfortunately this is the very first time I'm commenting to thank you for them. I will try my best to do it more often, and I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much Father Casey.

I don’t always agree Padre, but it’s important to have the conversation. Please keep up your videos I love conversation.

Fr. Casey, I've been watching your videos for over a year now, and I believe that God is doing amazing things through your videos. In terms of theology, I am a protestant, but whenever my faith has started to decline to the point of disbelief, I always find your videos to be of great comfort and to reignite my faith. This is my first ever KZfaq comment, and I felt compelled to write it on this video so that you could know that there are plenty of people, Catholic and Protestant, who will support you. We may never meet in this life, but you have my support my brother in Christ. I pray that the Lord gives you Wisdom, Peace and Joy, and protects you from the arrows of the Enemy, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!

Father Casey you are loved❤ Teaching us how to turn a bad thing into a good thing. Keep making your videos. You are a wonderful teacher and are bringing young people back to the fold.

I want to say that you videos have personally lead me to a life of more faith, and your videos are also a good resource I can use to talk to friends or family about topics I am not that well versed.

You will not know in this life how many people you have helped. But I am sure it is a large number, myself among them. Thank you Jesus for Fr Casey.

A great response (only done once) is "I'm sorry you feel that way. Thanks for watching."

I've been telling my friends about you, even my brother who's also a Catholic priest, and he replied, "Yeah, of course, I know Father Cassey; he's very good." Fr., you're extraordinary! God bless you.

As a dude your age who is going through a really tough season in life with health issues, I like to think I can accomplish some of the things you have when I get better and stronger. You and Friar Patrick (where is he btw?)are an inspiration and a comfort on my darkest days. Thanks man.

Just what I needed to hear. I would love to hear your take on spiritual/religious trauma and how to support those people who have left the faith because of it.

Hi Father. Last year when I was so confused if I should stay being a Catholic, I prayed to God to show me an answer to keep my faith stronger. And then instantly your videos showed up on my screen. And while I was watching your videos, I felt so touched and made cry. Thank you so much, Father. God bless you more.

Father Casey I thank you for your videos and for what you’ve been doing. Your ordination video has inspired me a lot and I am currently discerning my vocation to the Society of Jesus. Praying for you. Please pray for me as well Father. God bless you

Over the last 10 years my relationship with religion in general has gone from one of antagonism to one of appreciation and respect. You have been a part of that. Though I may not end up being a religious person, you've taught me much and have given me a lot to think on. That's something. That's something I view as a positive.

Thank you, Father. I needed to hear this today.

Keep up the good eork Fr Casey. You're helping more people than you know , many of us silent but always grateful.

Greetings dear father. As Orthodox Christian I find your channel to be a breath of fresh air for not only the Roman Catholic Church but for the Christian faith as a whole. I wish we Orthodox had more priest using social media and KZfaq the way you are.

Hi, Fr. Casey, I am from the Philippines. I am learning a lot from your videos. I am becoming more enthusiastic as a leader being head of the Commission on Evangelization in our Parish. You inspired me in my journey as Catholic growing in faith & love for the Lord. Keep up the good work in spreading Catechism- in Biblical & Liturgical and everything in between. God bless you!!

I get comments like these often. It is the price of putting yourself out there unfortunately.

“Pretty boy Franciscan” is my favorite, I just giggle at that one every time the haters throw that one out. I no longer read the comments as I’m one of the many that have benefited tremendously from your videos. I was going through RCIA when you started the channel, so you’ve been a father to me for years educating me in the Faith.

Fr. Casey, your videos, among other positive influences, helped me grow and look within during this Lent. I went to Confession for the first time in 10 years. I pray the rosary more regularly, I pray in the morning when I wake up and when I go to bed. I attend mass every week or more as much as possible. I am thankful for what you share and I include you in my prayers for the priesthood and the consecrated life. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

"He who has ears ought to hear." Matthew 11:15 Thank you, Father Casey!

Fr. Casey, my whole family really enjoys your videos. We think you are relatable, and your open honesty is very refreshing. My mormon friend even watches you for these reasons. We have learned so much! You are making a big difference in our lives. Thank you for this latest lesson on humility and humanity. God bless you and your mission!

Your work is inspirational thank you Fr. Casey. Best greetings and lots of love from Europe. God bless you.

People use to comment from their feelings, instead of using their brains. That's why you see so many nonsense. Personally, I love your videos Fr. Casey. Keep doing your best and may God bless 🙏

Terima Kasih atas Katekese nya Bapa! Salam dari Pulau Kalimantan!

Thanks, Fr. Casey. Your videos help me a lot. As a layman and a teacher, I appreciate much what you do. May Our Holy Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt bless you!!

Thank you Fr. Casey. 53 years ago I “committed to Christ” or better said, confessed Jesus is my Lord. I didn’t know the Church and my Family would be upset by this.I wasn’t betraying the Church, I thought I was making a deeper commitment, and strongly considered a vocation. Eventually, I was tossed out of my family and the Church. I don’t know what I did or said wrong. Since then, I’ve mostly attended Protestant churches, although I sneak in to worship in the tradition of the Ancients occasionally. Once I was on a mission to NYC to work with the homeless, and when visiting St. Patrick’s, I realized we happened upon the start of an Advent Friday Mass. I left my friends and joined the worshippers, later having a wonderful and open discussion about The Real Presence. Thank you Father for giving me hope for the Church.

Im a lutheran christian and student of theology from a nordic country. And i like your informative videos and your calm vibe. Keep up the good work and God bless you !

Good afternoon Father Casey, Thank you very much for your videos. They mean a lot and are thought provoking for where I am at in my human travels. I don't understand what provoked the meanness behind the tweets you received, but I hope their writers find true peace and realise how hurtful their words can be and change their way. Again thank you, and please keep making your great, funny, and heartfelt videos. You make a difference. Thank you.

If you have haters, you are doing something correctly. 🙏 I love your advice here. Thank you.

I look forward to your videos Father Casey. You are a wonderful presenter and teacher. Keep doing what you are doing. God bless you.

In today's world, I needed this kind of advice. I am forced to sit back and really think through what I see and hear these days. This video is a reminder to not react so fast especially when hurt. Thank you, Father Casey.

Father Casey, thanks for all you are doing, you are in my prayers always. God Bless You

Hello father Casey thanks for this video, like many other videos I feel some times that the message you are giving us directly to a specific issue I'm going through and always leaves me feeling better, thank you so much God Bless You ❤️

Hang in there, Father! I feel this way every semester when I read my college students' evaluations.

“Wait. Did my sisters write this?” 😂 Love this. You’re one of KZfaq’s best!

You are a much better person than I could ever be in the face of those negative comments. I love your videos and, even as a much older person, I still learn so much from your messages. Please know that you have many more of us who strongly support you than the few who may find points to criticize. Please stay strong and continue your good work. May God continue to bless you. Sending love and support.

Hi Fr. Casey, following from Nigeria. The deep insights in your videos are a conviction of the workings of the Spirit in our time. This is evident, as it helps everyone connect and listen to Jesus journeying closely and speaking to us just about every concern in our modern times. I know it's a dangerous and sensitive venture... May our Lord continue to speak and work through you. I am a Carmelite. I must say, you inspired me as a student involved in publications and media works. Keep hoisting our Lord's standard ❤ Many thanks!

A person could be perfect, and they would still get hate comments.

Your work matters and what you do is appreciated by many. I am just one person but you saved me.

Great video. Amazing how people take things out of context.... or hear what they want to hear.

Awesome. Brilliant content. God bless you Father Casey.

Thank you, Fr. Casey, for your love and efforts to preach the Good News of our Lord, Jesus to all of us! We can’t wait to watch your newest videos and the messages. Good Job! 👏👏👏Be sure of our prayers for you always. 😊😊😊

I am glad you are well grounded in this crazy web world. Your message reaches beyond that is what important. I sometimes specifically include you in my prayers otherwise you all good priests need our prayers constantly. ❤❤

If you don’t have people criticizing you, you aren’t doing something right.

All I can say Father is that I appreciate you.

Do not despair! I am glad you are making these videos, and, even though I am 60 years old, I am glad to have a bit of a refresher on many topics about being Catholic you have been covering. And I love the popular culture stuff - including films, etc., that can be related (one way or another) to being Catholic is very eye-opening. And of course including Father Patric is WONDERFUL! I'm sure he has injected a bit of wisdom into your life, as he has, mine. And, I hope, he's gotten a few new ideas from you! As we used to say, back in the Empire: fortis manere, vigilate

I'm a cradle catholic and I've learned a lot from your videos; you do fantastic work! I'm glad you're keeping the right focus and remaining humble - yours is a *very* dangerous job. Far too many "celebrity priests" end up having a big fall (Fr. Corapi, Fr. Pavone, etc); stay grounded and faithful. I'll be praying for you as well. Please keep up the good work! :)

❤🎉keep spreading the love fr. Casey I am feeling the faith

Love the last line so much, I will have to remind of that all the time. Yes, whatever God says I am is who I am.

Dear Father Casey, I used to be a part of a Catholic Worker Movement associated with the Episcopal Church (St. Joseph's in Durham NC), where we would pray morning and evening prayer, and feed the homeless a nice breakfast in the parish hall every weekday (Mon-Fri). Most of my friends from that group either became Roman Catholic, or Anglican, some from Methodist backgrounds. The group no longer exists, but we used to be called the Community of the Franciscan Way. We would even walk barefoot frequently. We had a notable diversity of thought, with a Romanian Orthodox Parish using the upper room of the Parish Hall (It was a large upper room), St. Joe's itself being Episcopal, and the CFW having an interesting mix of Anglo-Catholic Magesterial Reformed Theology (basically Roman Catholic eventually) and Roman Catholic Franciscan Tradition. Indeed, I was one of the only members who did not become Roman Catholic. However, I found myself not only agreeing with most of them, but even defending them against others who thought the CFW was a cult, with some of those accusations relating to their acceptance of Roman Catholicism. I see it as a great disservice to Christianity for anyone to disregard the person in favor of a cheap insult. I may be more Anglo- than Roman-, but I love the tradition, even the Medieval tradition. I want you to pray for me, for I see your strength against the gates of hell, and it inspires me to be a better Christian.

Fr. Casey, I'd like to express my thanks to you. Over the past few months, I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos (and those where you are joined by Fr. Patrick). You've played an important part in the growth of my faith. While I was raised in a Christian family, baptised as a young child and attended Church of England schools (over in the UK), I was agnostic as a boy. And in my late teens and throughout my twenties, I would describe myself as atheist. But from my early-30's, I found myself slowly heading towards God. Given my upbringing and background, I started to attend my local Anglican Church - and at the age of 36 was confirmed. But since then, I've felt that something was missing. And I've been drawn to the Catholic faith. Your videos have provided useful guidance and information. And I'm now ready to make inquiries at my local Catholic Church about converting. So, this is a message of thanks!

Father, your humility is edifying. 😊 Thank you for your authentic witness to the Catholic faith and your online evangelization ministry work. In regards to the responses you’ve received from other Catholic media folk commenting/pushing back on your statements of the faith, do you plan to engage with them in collaborative discussions on these topics? Would be a very fruitful thing to consider and opportunity to draw your audience into the nuances of the teachings you propose.

You are wonderful, Father Casey! Thanks for all you do. If we follow Jesus we need to act like him. It’s the only way. 🙏🙏🙏

Dear Fr. Casey, You are a wonderful asset on the internet. I enjoy your friendly and deeply Christian view of all things Roman Catholic. I am an Anglican Catholic and agree with almost all of your comments. Where we differ is inconsequential. Where we agree is centered on our shared faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you my brother.

I’m 75 years old and I find your videos insightful and and informative. The only thing I can’t agree with you on is your opinion of Fr Richard Rohr, whose teachings have impacted my life in a profound way. But you’re still young and your wisdom will increase with age! Since Bishop Barron faces similar criticism all the time, I’d say you’re in great company. Keep on going Fr Casey…you are doing very well! Oh, and I will remember to pray for you.

I was so glad to find you all. I was able to share your videos with my hubby, a newer convert. He is now with the Lord after passing from an aggressive cancer. But you made a difference. Thank you. 7:35

I learn from your videos Fr Casey. Keep teaching about the faith. I'm listening. 🙏.

My life is the classic story of a Catholic who left during highschool/college and now I'm in the process of coming back to the Church. Next weekend, I am attending my first Catholic Retreat put on by my Dioceses. Your videos were the first that I found on KZfaq that answered my deep questions and now my feed is packed with The Catholic Talk Show, Father Mike Schmitz, Pints with Aquinas, and others. My Catholic cultural immersion started with you. Thank you! ❤

Fr. Casey, I have been very pleased with your videos. As a long-time convert, I continue to learn from your teachings. Please listen to the comments of the many people who love you!

Thank you for this message. In the past I often tried to change myself to become more acceptable to others. Now I seek only to follow Jesus.😊

My friends and I like to talk about your videos (all good things). Your videos provide a great, accessible starting point for people at all levels of faith allowing us to look into topics that we may have never considered before.

I’m a life long Catholic who is both entertained and drawn closer to the church by your videos. Father Pat was my campus minister at Furman.

Way to go, Fr. Casey, nice positive response to negativity. Your good work is SO much needed and appreciated. Keep doing what you're doing, good and faithful servant. And THANK YOU.
