Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry. Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples! These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." Revelation 22:8-9 KJV 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.* 3 John 1:11 KJV 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.* 1 John 3:6-10 KJV 6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.* 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.* 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.* 10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

Abraham Lincoln was a tyrant and warmonger who burned down newspapers and locked up dissenters without trial.

Wow✨⭐👍

Absolutely 🙏

He had all the knowledge of the truth and set up a scam instead. Also afraid to live in the true love he found he decided to settle for a reduction of the Lord to simply a great leader.

Thank you for the beautiful comment 👍 Great, truly inspirational and devotional 🙏

That's a mason talking.

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Roman Catholic my whole life. Guess again.

​@@michaelfrank2266"Roman" is the protestant description of the Catholic church also.😊

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 What ever. I am done with you. Congratulations you win your stupid argument.

I agree, integrity is vital

I agree but as you probably already know, many Clergy are or have been cancelled if they 🗣️. Bishop Strickland from Texas is being investigated and will most likely be canned ASAP. So then what? I say if ALL the Good Bishops stand up collectively, something might force change. I highly doubt it. Therefore, I think it’s up to the laity. We should all Protest but not call it such. We need to PRAY the Rosary and Walk and be noticed. Demand Our Churches FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS but DEMAND VATICAN STOP THE SYNOD OF SINONALITY. IT WILL CHANGE MORAL TEACHING. St. Augustine and St Robert Belarmine PRAY FOR US!!! 🥺✝️🛐🙏

This is the Catholic worldview-if we are going to be comparative and thoughtfully judge fruits like leadership, we have to start with the perfect model that sets the standard. Otherwise you don’t have any kind of objective scale to judge anything correctly. Bp Barron is pointing out the perfection of all virtues, the person of Jesus Christ, first as the untouchable mold and model. And then he is naming historical figures that came closest to imitating the model of our Lord. It’s very similar to how we view the saints. Absolutely none of them are anywhere near Jesus Christ of course. But they are human examples of what it looks like to dedicate your whole life and self to the imitation of Christ. In that sense it’s not about reducing Jesus Christ, but rather pointing out that before you can talk about “good leadership” you have to understand that Christ is the perfect model and compass, and the extent to which any mere human creature is any good at leadership is based entirely on how well they dedicated themselves to meet the model set by Christ. Does that help explain a bit better? It’s a very Catholic worldview. We have to start every discussion like this with the perfect model of Jesus Christ, and then every worldly issue or person has to be judged by the extent to which is closer or further from imitation of Christ.

@@Seliz463 Yes, thank you very much for your thoughtful answer which indeed helps me to understand this view better.

From my basic understanding, leadership has to be humanitarian, the leader has to be compassionate..he/she has to get into the skin of those he is leading ie to understand the common man and all his frailities. Jesus had s great compassionate side to Him.He is often associated with the feelings of pity for the person standing before Him and asking for help to be cured. Don't know if I make sense!! Tq Bishop Barron/Brandon...for your interesting and embracing leadership.

@@Seliz463 As a non-papist, I would say that this is a facet of the Christian worldview which many Christians have a hard time grasping, regardless of sect.

Churchill was good for one thing war.

I like Teddy Roosevelt who created the national Parks and gatling-gunned down Pancho Villa.

Russia is the most cultured country on Earth.

And you , thank you

To me that sounds like a great manager - who might or might not be a great leader.

@@KarlieBlue777 achieving shared goals is the difference between a good idea and a great leader

William & Philomena Taylor are not on social media. Thankyou for your reply God bless you 🙏🏼

Do you have a soft copy of that book? "Abolition of man" If you have please help me!

Bishop Robert doesn’t need any of us to prove the Truth to the faithful. God put it in his heart that day at the cathedral.

I think that Vision is the correct word. Consider Jesus declaration that the pharisees were blind guides of the blind. Without vision it is impossible to discern. On the other hand, we see so much praise in this world for the sightless vision of those in rebellion against God that I can appreciate your desire for a better term.

@@pneumarian I agree that vision is important. You can't lead anyone if you don't know where you are taking them, I just wouldn't put it at the top of the list is all. Like I said though, that is why I always avoided absolutes in this area. A lot goes into leadership and as the Bishop alluded to, a great deal of it is situational.

What would be great is a tv series where Butler travels through history meeting the saints in the context of their real lives so that we can see realistically what cooperation with the grace of God looks like in the real life of a saint.

She burned a picture of the pope on a live tv performance of Saturday Night Live.

@megschreiber6391 - Visionary leadership.

She was very troubled and mentally ill. R.I.P. 🙏

Much madness is divinest sense to a discerning eye. Much sense the starkest madness T'is the majority, in this as all, prevails. Assent and you are sane. Demur -you are straightaway dangerous and handled with a chain. Emily Dickinson

@@megschreiber6391Watch some of her interviews. She had her reasons (covered up abuse of children within churches) even if she admitted that her delivery might have been shocking. She didn’t tear up a photo of Jesus…we have to discern that difference.

MLK was a communist pervert sex addict. He hated everything the Church stands for lol

Thank you I will look for that book, I have great admiration for Pope Francis, he is trying to reach out to those left behind and facing so much criticism from the traditionalists but the faith has to be relevant to a younger generation.

Yeah like we have a list of Jesus and some worldly figures. Are they saints? I dunno…. but I wondered why more members of the Cloud of Witnesses weren’t on the list. If a living example was needed why they didn’t qualify?

I don’t think Bp Barron is suggesting that Pope Francis is a good leader. That said he shows him respect and submits to the authority of the Church because that IS what the faithful need to see a good Bishop doing. It isn’t about the person of Pope Francis. We have had plenty of bad, uninspiring, and even downright corrupt pipes in the past. It’s about preserving and honoring the dignity of the office of the papacy.

@@brendamyc3173good point, people like St. Wenceslaus, St. Pope Gregory the a great, St. Joan of Arc, St Pope John Paul II….these are excellent examples of leadership amongst the saints. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, every saint is an incredible leader in his or her own way. But I think Bp Barron maybe wanted to pick some contemporary world figures to draw in curiosity from non-Catholics and show the universal truth that any good in the world is an inherently Catholic good even when the person or thing is seemingly not Catholic

@@Seliz463 it’s not about changing doctrine either. John 10:27-28 Jeremiah 23

@@bishop-Robert.barron Very good Bishop Barron, however the narrative demands revision. The 1920 Bolshevik Invasion of Poland did as much to trigger war throughout Europe. WWI and WWII were ordered and organized to kill Germans period. Churchill took money from International financiers. WWI and WWII were ordered to destroy the German nation state, and annihilated the German people because she was a rival to the British Imperial system, They' didn't stop killing Germans well into the 1950's. IMHO

Turning Britain into a third rate power and allowing the Soviet Union to occupy half of Europe for 50 years hardly seems like a success

Of course there is. Christ is our leader and he is perfectly present and in control. Don’t rely on human creatures
