Fr. Richard Rohr is truly an exemplar of a true wisdom on earth: such humility and non-attachment to self that, in fact, shines and gives light to so many. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have known him in my life. He made such a deep impact in my life: for truly knowing myself, God and love itself. My ever-so-deeply love to him with every good and peace.

my north star. I was finding my way back to Jesus, after a 50+ year wandering. But all I had were tired, old, petty, sometimes mean and hurtful guidelines, imposed on me as a child. Then I found Nouwen. Keating. Merton. Thomas Aquinas. Boniventure, Paul of Taursus, Julian of Norwich. Theresa of Liseux, Francis and Clare. Pope Francis' "Laudato Si" and much more. All given to me by Richard, the CAC, and the Franciscan Alternative Orthopraxy. I am home.

Richard Rohr is a blessing to humanity.

Txs for your comments on non duality and focus on contemplation versus the falseness of certainty. I recall the mantra from growing up "I know whom I have believed." Behavior and conversation from these folks never validated the claim ... created confusion and made me feel deficient for not being "able to get it." Thankful I remained honest to myself by not denying my confusion. From my perspective these days, the confusion seems like a very healthy reaction. Always enjoy Father Rohr. Thank you!

I wish everyone could listen to this.

Deo Gratias for Fr Richard - what a wonderful human being. A true child of God. He has taught me so much - love how he’s still preaching truths

I truly love this man. Thank God he knew what he wanted to be one day.

Love him, such a wealth of wisdom and peace.

Richard Rohr’s words and thoughts (and scholarship) have brought me back home to Christianity- the words attuned to my heart/gut experience of a long life. I am deeply grateful.

I just fell in love with this human being! God bless him and all his ministry! He is showing us which way christanity will evolve..so we should listen to him...

Thanks for putting this wonderful presentation with Fr.Richard Rohr.

I love this interview. I have been listening to Fr. Richard since the early 90s. Truly a prophet, bringing God’s word into the moment. It is a profound blessing to see how his teachings have become so purified, so unitive. Not one word is wasted. He seems so pure. He is truly living the “I am”. Great love!

I feel so relieved when I hear a smart and spiritual man as Father Richard Rohr saying that “Identity policy” is exactly the opposite of a Non Dual Contemplative mind.

Thank you Richard, You have given me new breath to breathe in the holy. Learning to hold Presence helps us hold everything.

Fr Rohr is one of a kind. We are very lucky to know him. Even if you've never met him.

20:58 Yeah I was one who listened to those New Ten Great Themes tapes of his too, many times over and over while driving in my ute (the only cassette player I owned). They opened my mind to a different appreciation of the Bible and it became much more accessible to me. ' been an RR fan ever since.

This opportunity to see and hear Richard Rohr is a blessing. Thanks to him and to Notre Dame for sharing it.

As always it is a blessing to listen to Fr. Richard and see him on you tube. Richard, as I never tire of saying this, you have changed my life for the better. After reading your books and watching you speak on the KZfaq. You taught me how to understand the true meaning of living a good life. You took me closer to Jesus. Keep well and stay blessed.

I echo that he is a true gift to humanity and for this time, right now, and will go far into the future. Thank you God for this honest, brave soul speaking Truth.

Some fine day, more people will hear and read Richard’s words, and be changed. He will be greatly missed when he passes.

Such a blessing to us. I love this man Richard Rohr.

Love Father Richard Rohr!

I am the child of two Baptist Ministers and grew up to marry a Baptist minster. After we retired I left my churcb and discovered Richard Rohr and to my a amazed joy I heard what I had come to believe. Thank you Father Richard. You have Confirmed me in my faith. And you continue to teach teach me. Sz . STOP more and more unhappy with the teaching. I was lovingly teasedGrady

"Stadium or arena?" Well, I'm glad Fr. Rohr is concerned with more important things. Richard is a treasure, he really is.

Bless. Everything will be Alright in the End.

Great introductory comments! 👏

Very helpful. Thank you.

Oh so beautiful, I suspect we really don’t have a clue in ‘Christendom’!

Que verdades!

Ive grown up with Jesuits..from birth to college and after. The ones I personally experienced were hypocrites, speaking Christ but living sinful lives..drinking, womanizing, living double lives..2 faced. All the while as he says selling Catholics! We dont need middlemen..all we need is Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light!

Good direction.

i bow to the double R

A wonderful interview. Terrible to be interrupted by ads.

Thanks for sharing this with us

All the natural religions point to the non-dual experience. Only Christianity through Christ reveals the Father though. A reality far higher then the unitive experience and specifically Christian and reveals a personal Godhead. Gregory Palemas wrote about the “non-dual” state calling it the “unitive uncreated energies of God”. St. Paul mentioned the three Heavens. These are the three emanations of the Father. They are unique Divine experiences of the One body of our Lord. The state of “Oneness “ could be called the first Heaven. This is the highest state of consciousness man can experience naturally. The Father and the mystery of Christ is only revealed by Christ through the Holy Spirit. And when you are brought there before the Father of Lights you can ask whatever you wish and the mysteries will be opened to you. You will receive whatever you ask. This experience Richard doesn’t mention. Contemplation can help but the Father is unapproachable. When our heart can open to the reality of Christ ,you will be “lifted up into the Clouds where He will meet you and all the dead will rise from their graves in the great Resurrection. Then you will know that Jesus was the Christ, the only Son who came to also make us Sons and Daughters of God. The miracle of the Good News is more true then we can imagine. Glory to God for all things!!

What would be the best Richard Rohr' book to understand the dual and non-mind?

1:09:38 What is your "Holy Word?" neat thought.

The word

So be it ;)

So be it

Prayers continue for the mystical body of Christ 🌹🙏😞 Hell is NOT empty .

Beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't mean no doubt. Certitude with a quallifier- a great paradox. Judas s almost always appear that's one challenge to certitude and the unitive way.

30:09 two paths to transformation

Spooky! Good!

History or His Story

I call it stuck.

Neville Goddard knew a little lot more about churchyard being outside experts being Great but, but, but, but, but......................least with great fans.

Unending battle not unsending; I must learn to proofread., sorry.

Then you never understood rabbi Yeshua in the first place - he preached radical Torah observance, not its abandonment for pagan traditions!

Hard knocks lol

Taste of Life and death

Right is to spirituality what Hunter Biden is to Art.

3:08 falling upward? 😳

when this man can't comfortably talk about the leader of his own church, then like he said, the task is Mammoth. if we can't build bridges like that then what? but i've never had Hope. i was like "nope" yeah God.

¡........!

This is not Catholic!

Heresy...!!

42:35 negative hateful thoughts

RR is a cult leader. He says no one really knows what consciousness is. Yet he seems to talk about something he doesn’t know a lot. I would say that is all he talks about. He talks about you as someone who experiences. Where is this mysterious you that has a mind that thinks outside the you? Furthermore, consciousness is being aware of the nature around us. Consciousness is consciousness of something. There is no consciousness in death, or sleep for that matter. If you fall asleep an do not wake up you will not know it. The end of consciousness is the end of knowing. I do not have a soul, I am a soul. I do not have a mind, I am a mind. I do not have a body, I am a body. And as a finite body I will never know some things. We can never get outside the creation and become like the creator. If we join ourselves to the universal we had better know what it is we are joining ourselves to, universal nihilism or universal life. Notice how RR transcends the atonement of the gospels as but another means of coming to God.

Wolf in sheep's clothing...stay away from Richard Rohr

JESUS is Human & Divine That is the TRUE Deposit of FAITH How dare you Distort...You are devils advocate !!!

He sounds completely drunk!?

Notice in the comments that Richard elicits only overawed adoration (or rarely: equally unsophisticated anathemas) from his students (rather than dialectical or Socratic mutual questioning in the search for truth). He functions as an oracle or an icon to be reverenced. That kind of hero-worship is a primitive level of spiritual awareness, and not evolved at all. In fact, it's characteristic of cults and other authoritarian groups. Can we bump it up a notch, into true inquiry or even egalitarian mystical community, where no one person is the oracle-who-can't-be-questioned? And if anyone is taking offense at what I'm saying, prove me wrong by offering a little mild, nuanced criticism of anything Richard says or does.

I am suggesting that if Richard was ask to blow into a roadside breathalyser he would come in around 0.15 to 0.20 he has been drinking alcohol before this interview

Vacuous sophistry.

False teachers. The Word, Jesus Christ is the Head of His Church and He alone is the focus of the Church, the teaching of the apostles and the Gospel is the main mission of the church and true Christians. Not feeding the hungry, which we should do. Not social justice movements which are of the world. Not defending the sin of adulterers or homosexuals which are 2 of many sins that should never be allowed a foothold in the church. Like other sins such as practicing thieves, practicing murderers, practicing fornicators, practicing abortionists, etc. If they come to Christ in Church with a contrite heart, confessing their sins, praying earnestly for Christ's forgiveness through His Grace He is faithful and just to forgive them. That means if they've honestly been born again people will see a change in their life. Otherwise, if they continue in adultery or filthy homosexual behavior that in itself will be a testimony against them. Rohr, McLaren, Bell, Warren, the Pope, and many others are heretics openly. It's about them and their gnostic mystical approach to Christ's teaching that never existed. Mysticism is condemned in the Word of God. In effect these men and women are anti-christ. They don't rely on the Word of God. They add their own brilliance and progressive junk to His teachings. God has no equal. That is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is One. All others are anti-christ and come from Satan. These people are enamored with themselves and their own progressively worse leftist agenda. They love mixing politics and new age mysticism. They are wolves in sheep clothing. Avoid them. When you see them on the byways of life walk straight ahead. Never looking their way. They are headed for a deep ditch and a fall. Don't be deceived by their poisoned intellect and titles. They follow the same path as Sodom and Gomorrah. Baal, moloch, buddha and allah are their allies. When they're done with their blasphemous plans they'll form others. Theirs is the way of death that leads down only into the pit.
