Even if all the priests in the country get woke and anti - Christ, the Eucharist is still valid. I am lucky I have very good fathers here. But in every country there are good priests - even Germany - better to move to the good parish inside the country and keep standing our ground than to leave completely...

It’s not. The confederate flag was a flag of anti Americans consumed with hate and racism. You could make an argument about the US flag.

But the confederate flag was a symbol of hate and was specifically used for hate in civil rights movement. Then people just forgot or didn’t care.

@@tony1685 Islam isn't attacked its protected by the mainstream media, Popes preach to worship God and help the Church with further bettering itself and encouraging devotion. Jesus of course founded the Church but Jesus passed on its authority and gave the Keys to St Peter and said "On this stone you shall build my Church" not a billion protestant non denominational and etc ones. If you were a Catholic for 3 decades and have fallen away from the true faith I will pray for you because you have listened to wrongful things said by others and must have not had a decent understanding in the faith. There is no salvation outside of the true church and no mistranslation and out of context scripture can disprove that.

I see he tweeted it in an ambiguous way again huh? Fr. James isn't fooling anyone at this point people know exactly what he believed in now.

He would respond , "I'm not implying anything here, I'm just pointing out that there are differences between a zygote and a new born." A shallow politicians tactic. And technically there is: a new born is further developed. Then again a 25 year old is more developed than a 12 year old going through puberty, maybe even more developed then an 80 year old that is developmentally regressing. Bottom line: who cares about stage of development

It means he’s a heretic, and should be stripped from his role as a priest. I cannot understand why he’s still in the position he is, especially being seen as a public figure

There is also a difference between a woke Jesuit and biblical truth , too. If a zygote isn’t human … then he is not a legitimate priest of the Catholic Church

@@vasilias2230 as legitimate as Fr Martin is as a priest …. So is the life growing in the womb no matter at what stage. As Fr Martin seems to be suggesting - if there is a degree of when life is life … then the same would hold true (in my mind) of his priesthood.

I mean, even if it was racist that wouldn't matter. Racism isn't a sin.

@@basharalassad6854 I'm actually not sure about that because I remember there being cases where Bishops in Southern US, I think it was Louisiana, excommunicating people for racism. NOW, that is a whole heck different than the micro aggression, PC, woke, how dare you ask me where I am from??!?! type of racism that we have today. I think Racism is a sin as per Church teaching, but to what extent a particular act is more or less is up for debate. Since it obliviously contradicts the commandment to love your neighbor. Also wow if you're the real Bashar Al Assad, then this is crazy. But I suspect you're at least a bot or joke account. I can't imagine why Assad would be watching Trent Horn.

@@TheWorldBroadcast if you didn't "love thy neighbor" that's not a sin, therefore it's not necessarily a sin to not do so. It's also that "love thy neighbor" means to help others not stumble on their road to heaven. The people who were excommunicated wasn't due to racism it was due to committing racial violence.

The state right they were fighting for was the right to own human beings. The Confederate flag is a symbol of slave-owners.

@@basharalassad6854 And what do you mean by racism?

False. They are human beings, our spiritual equals and it is our Christian duty to Love and stand up for the outcast and oppressed. I hardly think that guaranteeing a discrimination free workplace is over the top.

God's original command was to not eat from the knowledge of good and evil. It's from that knowledge we know pride and shame. If you keep God's original command you will be holy perfect and righteous. If you trust the knowledge of Good and Evil you will be divided against yourself. Nobody fears God or takes seriously his original command and so the serpent has deceived the whole world.

It's not even that kind of pride. This vlogger called this argument a straw man, and yet here you are, making it anyways.

It sort of depends. If it has been there 150 years it is an old symbol of perhaps the community of that parish attempting to heal wounds post Civil War (or even in the Civil War but it seems unlikely that would have survived the war.), or of some people`s repentence. Or it could be the opposite of any of these. It may be a local compromise type of thing with some other group who maybe threatened violence. It may even be a reaction to those flying the Confederate flag. That symbol is rather ambiguous. It may be the only potentially acceptable form to find the Confederate symbolism these days, but even that is iffy. It comes down to why people have it there and what message they want to project. In a Catholic Church though IMHO is the last place such an ambiguous flag ought to be. But I will not pretend to understand it, its history, or the local culture, all of which are important in determining how acceptable a controversal symbol is. Can you tell me about any of these?

I appreciate that it was done with good intentions at the time, but I think it's historically misleading and sends the wrong message today. The Union and Confederacy didn't come to agreement on equal terms, the Confederacy was defeated. After that, the American flag should be the highest flag in the land, not represented as equal to any other flag. I don't think it does any good today to glorify the Confederate flag.

People wanted to heal relationships following the Civil War. Relationships are healed through forgiveness. Nobody who refuses to forgive gets into heaven, yet there are some who foment unforgiveness and discord. If you want to know what the image symbolizes, don't rely on the interpretation given by anyone who refuses to forgive.

There are many grievous festering wounds here. If nothing else, remember every one of them no matter what happened to them or what they did, was loved by God and He called them to repentence. Pray for all those involved in that demonic circus and let us see this wound`s end, it certainly will be in Heaven. The Blood of Christ heals all wounds if we allow Him to. But we also can not pretend people were not treated like animals, tortured and murdered by the thousands and held in subjugation as property. No, we must face the whirlwind and know what it is in its fullness. There is no easy path to curing a cancer, it will require great sacrifice and a long painful path to recovery as we hack Agad to pieces. When sins of the father is mentioned in Sacred Scripture, I believe it refers to things such as this. Those who inherit it are not literallu guilty of the sin, but the evil is so great it requires several generations to see the effects of the poison run its course. The best thing to do, is bear our crosses and see this through to the end of its healing, knowing it is God and not necessarily us who know what that looks liks.

@@exerciserelax8719 The unfortunate thing is that that is exactly what the Union wanted. The Union didn't want the former Confederacy to be viewed as a conquered or occupied state. They instead wanted them to welcome them back as equal (ish). This is why the Union allowed the south to make Confederate memorials and statues shortly after the war. However, the South was still very bitter about the war, and the "Radical Republicans" pushing Reconstruction policies were half measures and ended up in failures. It left the South's economy in further shambles and further resentment towards the Union as well basically emboldened them into more racial hate crimes. Perhaps if Union made stronger plans to industrialize the South, arm black citizens, and not try to hijack southern local politics through migrants. The South wouldn't be as polarized through the next century.

Love is not evil, chasing people away from God is negligent.

Yeah the word racist ... has no power anymore.

Racism in on itself is a bias. You're actually offended that it's used properly? No, it doesn't have to be hatred. In fact, even most agrigious defenders of racist policies had no personal quarrels against other races. Same with modern liars, making stories about white race suffering from some sort of invasion. What you propose is an Orwellian engeneering of language that effectively removes "racism" frrom conversation, from which only racists benefit. Moving on, Racism and all other forms of bigotry ARE based on tribalism, it's their core. It's their nature to be against those who aren't like you. It's our nature in general. Not being bigot means to overcome that habit. Talk about xenophobia in general - same issue. And it taps into same sentimesnts.

No, racism can be free of hatred or even prejudice. It's a cognitive bias that influences judgment based on race.

@@Grokford that's a pretty vague and wide-ranging definition, and for a vast multitude of reasons it could be found to apply to amost anyone on any given day, and then found not nearly as applicable, again for any vast number of reasons, the next day (or week, or month, etc). What's lacking is the moral component. By your view, can it be said that there's anything actually wrong with racism? If so, by what standard? If not, why all the fuss?

@@ironymatt "that's a pretty vague and wide-ranging definition" Wide-ranging maybe, but it's not vague. If you have a thought or belief that is influenced by race, then it is a racist thought or belief. "and for a vast multitude of reasons it could be found to apply to amost anyone on any given day," Not really. Misconceptions about the other are common, nearly universal. But often these ideas are often either addressed or they're so niche that they're usually harmless. "What's lacking is the moral component. By your view, can it be said that there's anything actually wrong with racism?" Racism is a thought, it is morally irresponsible to allow wrong ideas to continue. But like many things the harm comes in how it affects your actions and the broader world. I once met an elderly German woman who for whatever reason had gotten the idea that Mexicans loved the color purple.(True story) and while that's is an incorrect perception, it's not malicious and is akin to any other misperception that might happen spontaneously between groups. So while I would consider that a racist(or nationalist) belief, I have no idea how seriously she took that idea nor do I see it as having the possibility of mistreatment. So I wouldn't be eager to call it immoral. But that is different than other unprejudiced racist ideas that do have negative impact. In France there is a racist belief that Asian people are richer. This isn't true much of the time and it's not a prejudiced idea, but it does lead to people ignoring the mistreatment that Asian people sometimes experience in France and it also leads to more unprompted attacked of Asian people by muggers who are operating under the assumption that their victims have money. An idea without prejudice or ill-intent therefore has caused harm. Hence why it is immoral.

If you consider advocacy for equal civil rights to be evil, then I don't know what good you could possibly be looking for in the church.

I agree. People who say it has nothing to do with racism or slavery are either misguided or dishonest.

Embracing the spirit of poverty, yes. Actual poverty isn't something to aspire for unless one is a religious belonging to an order with poverty as one of their vows.

@@ironymatt living within your means and abandoning your wants would be declared poverty. Poor people aren't just living on the streets, they drive cars, go to work barely make money, have never had a honeymoon or vacation are raising kids. We don't have to be on the streets to be poor. Spiritually poor is a term used by the rich to try to justify their lifestyles. I could go on.

@@GiftofChaosStudio with respect, I do not agree. Christianity is not against having desires, rather it calls us to ensure that our desires are properly ordered in the light of Jesus. It very often ends up being the enemies of Christ who begrudge others for their property. There's nothing wrong with well-earned material success, rather the problem is when an individual becomes attached to his material belongings, or sees material success as a good or an end in and of itself to be pursued. I don't know where you get the idea that having the spirit of poverty is "a justification for rich people". That actually sounds like you've got an axe to grind regarding rich people, and would be a manifestation of coveting. A prayer for the spirit of poverty is one of the petitions in the Rosary, for the third joyous mystery, and it's meaning is mainly about gratitude to God for all his gifts and is largely in accord with what you said to @Computational Theist, which there's nothing wrong with (although 'live in their means' is a nebulous, relativistic term that too easily can be used as a cudgel by communist types and should be avoided). If anything, what is lacking in the reply of yours is the appreciation for God's gifts that it's right and good to be grateful for.

How so?

You had a baptism of desire, which means if you were to died you can get baptize the way you did, regular water and the trinitarian formula; now if you didn't die you need to go to church to get a formal baptism.

The fact that you are willing to let a symbol be slandered is not mean that Queer people are obligated to do the same.

Queer parents are normal, they have existed since time immemorial. Especially when people lived in families instead of the modern "nuclear family". Gender is not an indicator of parenting style. There is no inherent correlation.

@@Grokford Hello! Thank you for your contribution! Do you have some references to back that up? Either way I don't understand the reasoning behind what you are saying. Immoral acts have existed since the dawn of time, but does that make them right? Thank you!

@ Gender is not a moral category, the idea that something can become immoral by virtue of changing the gender of the person doing it is absurd and a cultural peculiarity. And I do mean peculiar, the world we live in where homophobia is present around the world is a result of centuries of European influence. You can not look into the histories of any people or place on this earth without finding a period where same sex relationships were common and acknowledged in one form or another. Many places even had specific language that was used to describe Queer people which predates the advent of European prejudice. And given how the nuclear family is modern and highly limiting the simple fact is that Queer people have always been involved in the raising of children.

It's not that kind of pride.
