God bless parents and grandparents that live out their faith. A wise Lutheran pastor told me that faith is caught and not taught! Right teaching is important but more important is to let your light shine before all.

why doen`t trinity never mentioned in bible,

bless you, its ppl like you that make ppl like me

Biblical christianity is coming to jesus NOT a tradition. there is no perfect christian organization. THERE IS A PERFECT SAVIOR and the Scripture. people who try and join the right church to fit their taste and liking are missing JESUS and his word

Send your children to parochial school.

@@flamingrobin5957 hi, since the Catholic Church gathered up the various scripture verses in the late 300' s after the Roman Empire persecutions to form the Bible, then wrote it by hand for another thousand years for each community to have a copy( one steer would provide about 16pages), we teach and affirm the Bible. Without the Eucharistic meal, people could stay home and read the Bible, but that would deny John 6, where Jesus claims you must eat His flesh to obtain eternal life. The Protestant churches broke over Henry VIII & Luther letting Greman dukes multiple marriages.GBY

@@dan69052 Is it wrong to cheat on one's spouse? Even if you have hormones and an attraction? Even if this other person is totally your type and your attraction is predetermined? I won't get into any argument with you about sexuality, where and when it is formed and etc, because I think it's far too simplistic either to call it a choice or determined entirely in the womb. What I will say is that I disagree strongly that right or wrong is predetermined by our natural desires and attractions. I am attracted to and have a natural proclivity for a great many things that would be terrible for me and those I love - that in no way releases me from any moral obligation to practice self-control in those areas. You have better arguments to choose from.

How can teaching that Jesus is not required for salvation (in this life) be "doing God's will'? Just how can that be?

@@davidbeal8054 your statement is provoking. I have not finished the video, but I'm curious where the bishop makes the statement that you assert, namely: Jesus not required for salvation.

bishop Barron has a pretty famous (notorious) video in which hw explains at some length to an on-screen questioner that faith in Jesus as our Redeemer is not the only way to Heaven but merely "the privileged way." Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no one gets to My Father, but through me." That's as far as I can tell still Catholic doctrine. Now, I don't doubt that Jesus Christ has the power and the Mercy to allow non-Christians into Paradise. But how He chooses to do that is one of the Mysteries of the eternal + Universal Judeo-Christian God. And given the Catechism and the Magisterium, it is unclear how a mere bishop can go around assuring non-Christians "Don't worry; you can still get into Heaven." That's not a bishop's business. This argument, often referred to as "bishop Barron's privileged way", is one of the reasons why many traditional Catholics do not hold the bishop in any high esteem. (There are other reasons.). bishop Barron likes to limit his teaching to the Nice Guy/Wise Teacher version of Jesus. Jesus Christ was both those things, but He was primarily the Redeemer-Messiah-Son of God. --- and faith and salvation is a treasure beyond measure, but at a price. Part of the price is saying things not everyone will like (such as "Jesus is THE WAY not the privileged way.). Barron is just one of so many contemporary bishops who clearly prefer being popular over being strict about what the Bible, the Magisterium, and the Catechism teach. Or, what the Apostles and early Disciples understood and taught. Whadd'ya think Saint Paul would have thought about the phrase, "Jesus is the privileged way"? I encourage you to watch that video; it's very easy to find. Judge it against what you know to be Catholic. -- not against what you think is nice. For 2,000 years it has been well understood that being nice to sinners, and nothing more, can be a nice + wide path to Hell. When Jesus encountered sinners, He did forgive their sins. But He also said very clearly, "Go, and sin NO MORE." People who preach only the Nice Guy/Wise Teacher version of Jesus, like to leave that second part out.

@@davidbeal8054 I suspected your initial comment was a snipe. I saw a video a while back where the Bishop answered this question. The context I recall was not an "evangelical" assurance to non-Christians, but an answer to a questioning person's inquiry about how our God can be a loving God, yet doom all non-Christians to Hell because of their birth situation. That video was from the Word on Fire channel. I'll try to go back & watch again, but I can't inventory all his videos and find one where he preaches to non-Christians that they'll go to heaven. I don't get the basis for your third long paragraph. Clearly you didn't watch this video. My understanding -- substantiated in this video, your snipe op -- is that the Bishop's primary mission is oriented to 1) retaining the Catholic young people educated in modern schools and 2) drawing the _nones_ in. It would be -inappropriate- _ineffective_ for him to *lead* with the Magisterium. I'm not going to change your dim view of Bishop Barron. I suggest solve the disagreement this way: You draw to Christ as many non-believers as you can. Let the Bishop draw to Christ as many non-believers as he can. In the end, you both will have done your level best to fulfill your commission. May I suggest, though, you develop techniques other than sniping at believers that you don't like. Internal divisiveness is one of the things that really turns people off from religion.

Good on ya, Jason! I didn't learn my lesson until I was nearly 50 about how critical it is to keep oneself oriented to God. _(from an ex 30+-year atheist)_

Coincidentally - read St.Teresa of Avila.

My story is similar to yours, and I found myself reaching out to my old church this Christmas Day, may we strengthen with the Holy Spirit on our journey home.

to God be the glory

@@sataystick3937 indeed

Welcome home.

Yes, I second that. That was my experience too... that He wants you to be all in.

Perhaps God gave YOU to your parents to lead THEM TO CHRIST! I'LL be praying for you

I am so happy you have found your way back to our Catholic family. God speed.

I am from Tipperary and understand so much more from listening to the bishops sermons.

I am a firm believer in the Catholic Tradition. Please don’t be offended by my statement Bishop, but I am very surprised at your attitude Re: the Latin Mass, I was a follower of you for a long time, but now I am turned off by your latest attitude. Christ taught us the Truth and it cannot be changed. If you have changed, and by your attitude I believe you have, my prayers are for your conversion back to Christ’s Truths. God bless you and keep you safe.

@karen so has the traditional movement. They're exploding in attendance during the COVID pandemic.

@@louisehuberty490 my problem with the latin mass is that it is in latin. why would it be latin and only latin? mass is only interesting to people and believable to people if they can understand it. if they can't understand it they will leave in many cases.

@@louisehuberty490 Would you please clarify what changes you have experienced with Bishop Barron? I will pray for you, that you stay strong and faithful.

Please talk to your Bishops and priests in India

You have plenty of them on the internet. 😀🙏

Thank you for heeding your call sir to the priesthood. You are one of the chosen ones to minister to this world. Praying for you.

Thanks for your journey! Who knows if the Church of England could one day be again with us. Even so, God bless your paths, my friend! From a Brazilian 🇧🇷 catholic.

Oh, God rest his soul! I was raised Anglican before converting to Catholicism after an fairly long journey through the "none-ish" territory. I loved Polkinghorne's work on how science and religion are totally compatible. I referred people to him a lot ! He debated Richard Dawkins once and he was so filled with joy, especially given the juxtaposition of Dawkins, that even before listening to the arguments I feel you were inclined to want to be like Polkinghorne between the two, and then he had the intellectual and logical chops to make the better case. He was a great man. I will add him to my prayers.

It is joyful to hear your story. Thank you. You are blessed.

You misplaced your period, should have been right after the word "happens".

@@JayBandersnatch Outside of prayer, nothing in the Bible ever happens☆

@@marypinakat8594 sorry, what I meant was: "Nothing in the bible ever happens."

@@JayBandersnatch What makes you think that I didn't get what you meant?

@@marypinakat8594 I actually did think you knew what I meant and was being witty, so I responded back half as witty as you did. 😎

👍😀🙏

@@blackfalkon4189 there was a ton of that stuff in Jesus time. Did you read the Old Testament ? All the Jewish temples of Jesus time and before we’re decked out in gold, used liturgical incense, and used tons of sacred symbolic architecture. Plus they had the golden cherubim statues and stuff like that. Catholicism is very much the continuation of OT Judaism

@Lucid. Agreed. The traditional movements have exploded in attendance (especially the young families) during the COVID pandemic. They never knew such beauty is still alive and thriving.

I went to a bar mitsfa. And they had a tabernacle with the logos, the word ,in it.... the Torah!!!! And we have the tabernacle with the word, the logos, made flesh!!!!!’

Amen

You give me hope! I pray you persevere.

@Huxley Axel sounds mighty spammy

Me too. The Pope asked couple years ago on Twitter, to say one Hail Mary a day. Before I knew it I was saying the rosary and going to mass.

Share your story, Cassie! Would you like to be a guest speaker for our Women's WorkLight group?

Faith and science? Do those two really go together?

@@ding9633 Hello! Hope life finds you well :) I would say in one respect Faith and Science have different goals. Science is tasked with answering questions of how things work and what they are made of. Even if we want to go to the big questions - how was the universe made. How did humans come to exist. Faith on the other hand seeks answers to “why” questions. Why does the universe exist? Why were humans made? Why do I exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? Although these affairs are different, I would say they depend on each other. Science proceeds down the road with the assumption that things can be known. That there is an orderly universe with “laws” established about how the universe works. These rules don’t change haphazardly from day to day. It also travels on the assumption that there is something meaningful and good about finding out how things work and how to make life better. But Faith recognizes the order and organization and predictably of the universe and says why is it so? Why would such a universe exist? Why would all this exist if there wasn’t some purpose? And if there is some purpose and intelligibility, then doesn’t they point to the possibility of something that created it? And if so, do we also recognize other “laws” - not physics and such but natural laws about what it means to be a human with a life. Things like “life is precious and should be protected especially from malevolence. Murder is evil. That evil exists. That people are susceptible to moral corruption. That we do not find meaning and value and purpose from looking within. Would love to hear your thoughts on these beginning comments.

✨🙏🏼✨

Being a Protestant for so many years not being taught the truth about the Eucharist, yet finally realizing when Jesus says THIS ISMYBODY And BLOOD that’s exactly what He meant. I praise the Lord,for HIS TRUTH . GOD is so faithful. I am so grateful for men of GOD like you and brother Tom Nash , so 0:15 humbly speaking TRUTH so clearly . I am now by GODS GRACE And MERCY A JOYFUL CATHOLIC BELIEVER. WHEN ONE is OPEN to the TRUTH, GOD REVEALS TRUTH. 😊🙏

to God be all the glory.

why doen`t trinity never mentioned in bible,

@@elizabethkraszewski6603 I’m more and more convinced the future of The Church is on the laity’s hands, we have to start teaching our children and maybe in one generation or two, we’ll start seeing The Church coming back.

A group that teaches an immensely unpopular sexual philosophy but at the same time refused to let pedophiles be prosecuted for decades. Gee, I wonder why people leave it.

I was in a unaffiliated household my mom an agnostic atheist my father a German Lutheran, my mom's parents were both Catholic so that is just wrong implying the unaffiliated

@@EnlightenedHeart01 I wonder if your Mom understands all the beauty & grace she kept from her children....it must break your Maternal Grandparents hearts... may God grant a loving & wondrous path to His Trurh ... 🙏🏼✝️

our textbooks were even Catholic in the 50s and 60s .... it was great ....

I am 76years old. We learned by first mesmerizing prayers and the catechism Q&A. Then by middle school we were learning Church history. The mass was broken down so we knew what was going on. We also learned about sanctifying grace ...etc. okay we need to respect their questions. Get the answers.

@@karenglenn2329 and ... we went to mass every single morning... Monday through Friday ... first thing... church ... donuts and milk due to fasting .... school. It was a great life ... we really liked the free donuts!

Jerry yes every day mass. We brought a bagged breakfast. That meant the smell of hard boiled eggs. The boys took turns serving mass.

@@karenglenn2329 yep I was an alter boy too ... Latin at first then it later changed to English. Oh cinnamon roll was much better. LOL!!!

Good point, I tend to agree with you, in fact I am a little concerned that the Bishop is concerned about the numbers game and how to win friends and influence people.

Yes, and people are becoming more and more isolated, not just from Church, but smaller families, broken families, a lot of people don’t even know the names of their neighbors

Sometimes doing the hard thing and being honest with someone is hard to do . Yet it is always the right thing to do even with ourselves. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

Show them the beautiful and then leave it to God to work the miracle

well for the people on their second and third marriage, they are allowed to stay in that marriage if they convert to catholicism while in it. I don't think divorcing is ever a requirement to become catholic. for the gay relationships that is a bit tougher.

Agreed. We must stop dumbing down the religion. I also say we must stand fast in public spaces as well. The young take note.
