That beard. Love it. If you shave, you're off the channel.

When lost in an intellectual, spiritual and theological thicket, Father Pine is the machete

I'm in the theatre where I'm often the only Christian and/or Catholic. It's always such a delicate...dance. (They know I dash out from rehearsal for Mass and is so sweet when another cast member secretly puts a coin in my hand as they ask me to light a candle for them.)

Father Gregory going full monk mode. Respect.

I wore a tee shirt with a picture of the Sacred Heart every day in June.

Gnarly beard father

the beard looks really good!

I really wasn't expecting the beard 😂😂 Looks good

We already miss you here in Switzerland 🇨🇭! But the States seems to need you as well. The Church needs you, reverend father. Hopefully one day a cardinal!

“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.” ― Alexander Solzhenitsyn “For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” ― John 18: 37-38 There has always been and will always be people who support subjective truth. Reject that falsehood. That is step one. After that the rest is pretty straight forward.

What is missing here is the necessity of a cultural response. Ceding ground again and again and again and here we are.

"Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." - Roman's 12:21

As someone who falls into that latter category, I appreciate your words on that. It is also a big help to me who has felt pressure not from God but from the world to air out everything which I feel often does far more harm than good. There is a very small amount of people who know of my particular struggles with some of these things and even fewer who know of my even deeper struggles. And I often feel the world pressures me to feel guilty about not being “out and proud” as it were, but I try not to be. I just want to live life as a Catholic and grow in faith and virtue and became gradually more sanctified and we don’t need to have all our struggles plastered on our forehead in order to address them. Some struggles and crosses are meant to be private and there’s nothing wrong with that so long as we are striving in a Catholic manner and working to grow in virtue and eliminate sin from our lives.

Weathering the storm. Recognition that (given enough time) this too shall pass. Helpful for sure!

Great video father. I would say; however, I believe we are reaching a point now where everyone is being forced to take a stance and weathering the storm is becoming less of an option. Pride is seeping into every avenue of our lives and we are being forced to contend with it on a daily basis within our families and even parishes. Thoughts?

God bless, Father Pine. I appreciate your approach to these tough questions.

Great beard father. Now it's time to bring back the tonsure!

God bless, Father Pine.

Paradigm 3. Take a strong stance while weathering the Storm.

Father totally looks like the Gigachad meme. I love it.

My daughter after school: “How is LGBTQ possible, when LGB is about men/women liking men/women, and TQ can’t say what a man or a woman is?”

I love your show on Pints with Aquinas!

Now that is a godly beard!!

Thank you Father I enjoy watching your videos, I feel with all the respect you were soft, peddling the issue regarding so-called pride month, and yes, prayer fasting is important, but enough is enough. We are called to also engaged,put On the armor of God and be vocal. if we truly love our Lord, we just can’t sit in the couch we need to engage participate be involved let our voices heard. we should be bother in anger, righteous anger. Always in my prayers, father God bless you

Amen. Let us love our neighbour by telling the truth in charity, and weathering the storm with patience.

Father, I like your coverage of this topic so much I am watching it a second time. I will use this with my OCIA /RCIA class in the fall.

God bless you and your ministry

If we dare call ourselves Christian, we must shout the truth and defend those who can't defend themselves.

So glad you're back father! Thank you for coming to TI! It's been great to meet you and I pray all the success abd happiness in the future with TI!

Thank you Father! God bless you ✝️✝️✝️

Brilliant video Father... May God Bless and keep you 💜

Thank you, Father! 🙏🙏🙏

The day I become as disorganized as Fr. Pine, I'll be a force to recon with.

I support those who are taking a crucial stance for the Truth. Nowadays, it is not easy to voice it out. But they have woken up against wokism (if there is no such word, well, there is now haha). Forge on! Save the children! God bless America!

We need more love of the Bride (love for the Church, the Bride of Christ, and more love of men for their wives) and less vanity and pride.

Thank you father , a lot oh good hints here! God bless

Really something has changed after the pandemic, it got a new impetus. The movement, the politics. I agree, the case by case isn't enough. I see people often focus on issues in a separated way, as in homosexuality, transgender etc. But it misses the bigger picture. Namely, the issue of an enormous relaxation of sexual norms and limitations. Somehow, in the current secular culture, the sexual relations, from being a cultural taboo, something that is to remain veiled and guarded by various regulations (such as permissible only within marriage), became not only 'anything goes,' but also something to be openly and publicly displayed, etc. And I agree, identity politics plays a role here as well. So that's how now homosexuality or transgender issues can now dominate the public discourse. But it's only a symptom of a wider problem. Because the problem isn't only about the deviations (as in against the natural law), but about the sexual immorality in general. As as society, we've somewhat lost a sense of shame and of privacy of a sexual sphere. So I think the main 'frontier' to 'fight' against it, is sexual morality and purity. It's about showing the beauty of purity, especially in the form of virginity and celibacy, as well as the beauty of a rightfully ordered family life. (and should go without saying: no adultery, no fornication, no pornography, etc.) Of course, to do that, one needs to incorporate that into their own life first, an example and integrity are most effective. But also to remind others, to re-set the norms and the boundaries of sexuality and privacy. As Catholics we might particularly remember, that we are the temples of the Holy Spirit and sons and daughters of God, and to remind others that that it is who they are as well!

Fascinating topic, well said

Thank you so much for this talk. It was very helpful to me.

this was very helpful. thank you, father.

Not just Western countries unfortunately. It has already reached to other countries such as my country, the Philippines.

Great video!!! Bravo!

Too bad I had no idea you were in switzerland. I would have loved to get to know you. If you ever come back let us know 🙏 Keep up the good work I‘m a big fan of pintswithaquinas and Godsplaining!

A patina of gospel language Whatta incredible set of words

Father Gregory Chad

Father, you and Matt have helped me immensley as a newly converted Catholic in my early 40s. I was exp0sed to p0rn early into puberty and it has done so much damage and I was able to delude myself for so long into thinking it was normal. I'm pushing to remain celebate for however long it takes till I finally starve the sat@n out of my sexu@Iity. I don't know what Catholics did before channels like yours because the leaders at my church avoid discussing these sorts of topics all together. Thank your for being a light in the world. Praise be to God.

Great video Father, welcome home. Love the beard

Thank you Father - and keep the beard! God bless you

Gigachad Fr Pine

You look very Handsome with a beard Father !

Love the beard, Father ❤

Bear in mind , with critiques , be constructive the idea is to help the other person, not to tear them down or destroy their humanity

You covered it, Father. Following Christ, and his Gospel is a bit of a dance in relation to this (LGBT) deal isn’t it? I like how you talked about the greater relevance of the individual moral stance in relation to the corporate, and highlighting the importance of always highlighting the ‘truth!’ ✌️❤️🙏

I say that June is the month of the Sacred Heart.

We can’t miss that “pride” is one of the deadly sins.

Sweet beard Fr. 🙌

One of the factors as to why people don't "speak up" that I never see discussed is that these issues seem to be a bigger deal on Twitter, KZfaq, and the media. A lot of companies put a rainbow up and then don't do anything else so employees aren't really impacted. I know a ton of people who work for local companies that don't experience anything related to pride. Schools are out in the Midwest so nothing going at achool. In fact, conservative channels were the ones pushing all this stuff onto my feed this past month. This isn't to say that it's not concerning or we should do nothing, but more to say that a lot of people aren't affected by it in their day to day lives.

That than which no greater beard can be conceived

5:13 lol just by the way the sirens sound you can tell he is in the us. Gob bless :)

I suffer from same sex attraction, thank you for this video.

God gave Father Pine the best beard ever.

LMAO WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW DID IT TAKE SO SHORT FOR FATHER GEGORY TO GROW A BEARD

how do i respond to pride? with humility.

I would appreciate some ideas on how to approach this issue when the government of the day actually outlaws the Christian approach and you can even be ‘cancelled’ from economic and social life for speaking against it when you are confronted by it. My husband and I are lay members of the Church.

Great insight. I definitely agree that "pride" can run for a long time, but will inevitably end in typical human cycle. Logic and truth will always see through until the end. Fantastic beard.

More Dominicans with beards THANK YOU FATHER

They were holding a city-backed pride event across the street from our previous restaurant. We usually let people use our big parking lot. We kicked people off of our lot for that day.

Please keep orienting us on this topic, our local parishes are certainly not!

Fr gregory looks like giga Chad

Now that is a killer beard!

sigma male fr pine is not something i expected

Chad Fr. Gregory Pine

⭐️

bruh, the chad fr pine

Woah 😳

Omg nearly threw up seeing all those logos in the thumbnail. Thanks!

I thought someone edited the bottom half to Fr. Pine's face to look like giga-chad. lol

Now I have the best information to handle next year's events. ;)

There is a unity between an individual's conscience and the objective moral order just as there is between our soul and or body. Attempts to deny this are the source of modern social upheaval.

For or against, I don't care what the video is saying, I get rid of all rainbows from my feed.

I really like what you are saying and not saying here. 😊

AS JONATHAN MORRIS ON FOX - HE BAPTIZED ME BEFORE MARRYING IN THE CATHEDRAL IN 2019

The beard is pure clickbait gold.

Beard looks good!

Father Gregory be looking like Saint Dominic.

Fantastic beard. Never get rid of it.

Thank you for your videos Father, I have 8 kids from 21-2, and I find them invaluable. I am training to become a therapist and I've been grappling with the problem of fatherlessness and a crisis among men more broadly. Could you do a video on the passage from Sirach...The wickedness of a man is better than the goodness of a woman? There's some research that I came across that shows a "poor" father in the home has better outcomes for kids than an absent father. I wondered if it's related in a way to this passage. Even a good mother is no substitute for a role that should only be occupied by a father, however lacking? God bless you we have a list of priests we pray for and we've added you to the list.

PRIDE was the main sin that caused satan’s fall

The beard looks good

Well said.

I do t know Father, but i think it’s going to get worse. It’s obvious, it started with certain laws and movements and this is where we are now. I needed to hear this. Idk what to do. It’s getting to the point I do not want to buy anything anywhere! Perhaps as is this is part of our journey?!

Without the beard:👶 With the beard:🧔

First time I've seen you with a beard Father. It looks alright.

How do you reply to a casual acquaintance proudly showing you his wedding ring his "husband" gave him at their wedding last weekend? Actually happened to me. Still not sure I handled it right.

That was a beautiful prayer. Anyone know the name of the prayer at 1:21 ?

Cool beard😂

THAT's a nice beard my dude.

Dig the beard, bro. Suits you well.

This was great, well done, though ramblely.

Don't forget to talk about your beard in your life-update video
