I can't thank you 3 guys enough for this talk. I had a major shift in my thinking due to this. I struggle with the sin of anger and rage. While I've been praying for healing on this matter for a long time, I just didn't seem to be making much progress. Id say a rosary, have a long talk with Jesus about my renewed forbearance and find myself almost immediately becoming very angry for some reason or another But now, I just experienced a kind of healing because now I am thinking about what it really is in its inception. Thank you again. This is a very insightful talk.

Wow, this got me thinking so much. I really need to write down my sins for when I go to confession next time. Pride is truly the mother of all these deadly sins. It’s the gateway. You lust because you’re prideful, you envy because you’re prideful, you’re a sloth because you’re prideful. You can truly link all of them back to pride.

Pride was the first sin. Lucifer fell because of it and Adam and Eve also fell because of it: they all wanted to be like God. This is why pride is so difficult to conquer. I struggle with it because I don’t like to be told I’m wrong or how to do things. But I’m fighting it and trying hard to become more humble and frequent confession as well as saying “I’m sorry” (and meaning it) is helping. Go to confession, the Father is waiting for His prodigal sons and daughters!

[@MDkid1]

I wouldn't presume to say that I'm free from these sins, esp lust, but I will say that A LOT of prayer and frequent confession goes a LONG way to preventing many of these deadly sins.

I remember doing some work for the Church one Saturday morning with a young man in his early 20’s who proceeded to tell me that he thought he should make a video on humility. He of course would have the main or starring role because he was so humble that only he could teach others how to be as humble as him. And he said all of that in complete seriousness and with a straight face lol because he meant every word of it lol. I almost fell off the ladder I was on because I couldn’t contain my laughter lol See I thought he was joking because it was so ludicrous lol there was no way he could be serious but he was absolutely serious lol When it dawned on me that he was actually serious I laughed even more lol. I told him he should tell the priest his idea for the video at confession that afternoon and see what he had to say about it. To this day I remember the look of bewilderment on the other parishioners faces when they heard hysterical laughter coming from one of the confessionals lol. I love the way God works lol

This video feels like a Catholic high school religion class from the 1970s where people believed that you needed to work to become a better person.

This leads to the mindset that any feelings and desires are good and any suggestion otherwise is oppression of the human spirit.

[@BindingTheYoke]

@@jk41shadow many theologians argue the Devils first sin was envy.. since it is the only sin where committing it does not benefit the person in any way, unlike the perverse satisfaction gained from the others. And in the devil's case it required a look at the good of another to want to take it from them and the motivation to do so is pride. But I agree with you of it being the first, since pride is the mother of malice and envy her sister.

[@rosejones9317]

@@jk41shadow That's what I was going to say. When I was studying everything years ago, I read that the sin of pride was the sin of satan and it begets all other sins. When you uproot the sin, let's say, sins against the 1st Commandment, (thou shalt not have strange gods before me), your predominant god could be money and you might not even recognize it but you're in reality, you are living it. And at the root of that, you love money because of what it can do FOR you and your selfish interests. Pride is at the root of all kinds of spiritual maladies.

You should do an episode where you address actions people do in church that they should/should not do (or a tip sheet if it's not work a full episode). For example Orans posture when the priest says "we lift up our hearts" or at any part in the Mass, holding the hand of the person next to you during the Our Father, crossing yourself when you genuflect, kissing your thumb after you cross yourself, etc. At least for me, I learned some of these because of how my parents acted during Mass.

I was blind all my life. It is amazing how blinded I was. I would add Rebellion as another which is as the sin of witchcraft.

There really is only one sin that'll send you to Perdition, that being a mortal sin that you have no intent to make up for- and one is all it takes come to think of it to completely ruin your soul for all eternity into utter and complete disaster.

[@CatholicTalkShow]

Truth.

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@CatholicTalkShow Indeed, and no deadly sin is even a venial sin to begin with, whereas only mortal sin will do it, proviso we do not have any intent to repent- with the included requirement that we alter our lives to avoid such sin again. Why they're called "deadly sins" is a misnomer that shouldn't have ever occurred to begin with- tis in fact a lie from the magisterium due to its wording of the issue; and there're far more than merely those seven in fact. I know for one that fear, of all forms, including fear of the Lord, does indeed produce hatred of God for Him being the object of the terror in question, whereas pride would encourage me to accept Him as my adopted Stepdad through baptism and to put myself to service to others. That in particular is one way I know that the way the vatican produced them in fact creates hatred of God for how His agents worded things leading men into sin- without the specific man's consent. And for that, from a saint no less, is the sort of sin that'll send the saint to Hell for all eternity immediately due to scandalizing a member of the faithful; Christ Jesus will not put up with *that* kind of fooling around by His "friends", nay, as the Good Shepard, He'll execute them on the spot for that kind of an assault on His flock, and destroy the remains of those who, as His agents, betray the faithful like that. That definitely includes those closest to Him for that kind of foolishness on their parts- including inadvertent errors that produce sins on others' parts. Believe me on that detail, as He used terms for execution in regard to scandal; so it is that even a saint who's accused of scandal by the honest words of a member in this Earthly life, even without said saint's consent to the scandal, has no hope of even staying in existence due to His words of condemnation of scandal- entire worlds of eternity will be wiped out for merely leading a single person seeking holiness into sin, even without the consent of those who lead him to sin, as Christ guaranteed, so it shall be done. And I solemnly guarantee you, that a number of those who've been canonized will be found on Christ Jesus' left and lost to Perdition, as well as all who happen to call upon them for any aid, even without knowing of it, if but one of those holy ones leads any, and I mean any, through any circumstance, to sin!

[@chissstardestroyer]

@@CatholicTalkShow Addendum: it's not even to permit myself to even get anywhere *near* God, that's the fruit of humility: the ultimate rejection of all spiritual things, period, for them even *being* or *existing* as spirits, that includes God for sure... in fact, the hatred of God also comes out of humbling myself towards Him, as if I do that, He then becomes a monster to be wiped from existence for the safety of all, whereas if "infected" by pride of any kind, which's far worse still, according to the "7 Deadly Sins teaching" of the magisterium of the Catholic Church, is the only thing that'd give me the inclination to even approach God to begin with. In fact, if completely humble, I'd be prohibited from having anything to do with Him, even to the length of believing the materialism of the Soviets of the 20th Century, monsters that they were, their system of matter being the only thing that exists, or could be *permitted* to exist, period, is the ultimate fruit of the summation of humility, as then we're no better or worse than anything else material, in fact, merely for having an immortal soul; we're far worse than the rocks and dirt in the ground, as due to them merely being strictly matter, we are worse less than them. Now *that* is the ultimate level of humility for a human to attain, the belief and certainty, that all things spirit in nature are worthless vermin, completely and utterly evil in their own nature, whereas strictly matter beings that've never been ensouled ever, nor could they ever have a spirit infused into it, now *those're* the ultimate in level of being.... all spirits in their nature are summed up by the idea of the devil: all spirits, bar none, are intrinsically evil in and of themselves, whereas matter in and of itself is wholesome, intrinsically dignified, and completely sacred, however the spirit is the ultimate in terms of vermin, something to be wiped out of existence period.

[@Sylvia-of9hj]

Re your mention of forgiving. It seems like a knee jerk reaction in all religious discussions that we are supposed to forgive everything. Now I do agree that things like holding a grudge, plotting revenge only harm the person who is doing these things. The person holding a grudge is taking on a burden that's a heavy load to carry, and in that way keeps the pain of an experience by holding on to it. But, by the same token, declaring forgiveness (when only God can forgive sin) is a kind of arrogance, and also taking possession, taking charge of the situation, and thus, "claiming" it, carrying it with you as if you own it. So magnanimously declaring forgiveness is a kind of pride in a way. And it's not for real, is it? I'm thinking that this automatic forgiveness can really hurt you if you are still angry inside. For example, during the OJ Simpson trial, a lot of violence in his personality was revealed. But another thing revealed that was that he and his mother were abandoned by the father, so never even sent a Christmas card. Simpson had rickets as a child, so they had to contend with this abandonment, with added financial and health problems. So when Simpson became a famous football player, the father suddenly appeared in his life, and Simpson in a knee jerk fashion accepted the father back automatically, declaring forgiveness, etc., etc. But underneath, Simpson might have had a lot of unresolved emotional issues that were the cause of his other violent, lashing out incidents. So it's dangerous not to acknowledge your own feelings and emotions and declare magnanimously some cliche, knee jerk pronunciation of forgiveness. That's like saying your own feelings don't matter, but all that's important is that you please people and say everything they do is OK. Some people aren't even interested if you've forgiven them, and some have enjoyed their transgression against you. Another example I'm thinking of is that of Reginald Denney, who was grabbed out of his truck and beaten during the riots that ensued after the Rodney King police beating in Los Angeles in '92 or so. The people who beat him were arrested and tried, but Denney testified at their trial that he had forgiven them and they shouldn't be convicted! This is ridiculous, and i wondered if he had suffered brain damage from the beating to take such an action. Why not let the pain go, by handing it to Jesus? He tells us that his burden is light. And how can he heal it if you continue to hold on to it--by either seeking revenge yourself--OR by declaring forgiveness, thus taking on the responsibility for healing things in others, by taking the responsibility that is God's of righting things in others? The only one who can give forgiveness of sin is God, the only one who can heal a situation is God. So I say hand it over to him, but don't declare some kind of phoney "forgiveness" for the unforgivable. What about the rape victim? Are they supposed to cheerfully announce forgiveness. Wouldn't this be a stupid and arrogant act? As if we can heal something like this in another person who caused them to do it? What about God's model for forgiveness? That of confessing/apoligizing, of repenting? The perpetrator has to seek these things from God, not from the person that was injured by the perpetrator. In the meantime, the person who was injured has to give up the pain caused by the incident to God to heal, not to assume a phoney "godlike" (small g) role of forgiving others that is actually pride and arrogance in disguise. It seems like the person who does this is saying to God, "Hey, God, don't worry, I've got this one," when it's entirely his decision on what happens to the perpetrator. It says in the Bible that a part of God's authority is dependent on justice. And he says that revenge is his and that he recompenses--this is actually one of God's promises. So forgiveness or not is God's decision, not mine. And as far as declaring all anger a sin, what about Jesus' anger at the money changers in the Temple? What about Moses' anger when he came down from Mt. Sinai and discovered people worshipping the golden calf?

[@ntmn8444]

The thing about true forgiveness is where you let go of your anger and put it in God’s hands. It’s about you, about your well being. When you hang on to a grudge, it’s like drinking poison with the hope the other person dies. That’s why forgiving can’t be prideful, because true forgiveness heals you, and not only are you not holding on to that grudge anymore, you feel peace, the kind of peace that you get when God forgives your Ive been there, so I speak from my own experience. Jesus was very wise in what he taught.

[@mikeschnobrich1807]

The ultimate purpose of justice is forgiveness. There can be no justice without forgiveness. Unfortunately, in many situations justice is extremely hard to achieve, if not impossible. We rarely have all the facts and we aren't able to look into the hearts, minds, and motivations of the people involved in an incident. Forgiveness, on the other hand, is clear, final, and doesn't require perfect justice. In one sense, it's a gift we freely give to someone who's wronged us. In another sense, it's an act of love to our neighbor. But most important, Jesus taught us that we have to forgive if we want to be forgiven. We should seek justice as best as we can, but we should never confuse justice as an end in itself.

@@ntmn8444 Absolutely agree with you that the process when wronged is "where you let go of your anger and put it in God's hands." And I never advocated "hanging on to a grudge," although proponents of the knee jerk reaction forgiveness cliche continually accuse me of that. Only God can forgive sin. For we mere humans, reconciliation is possible, but that's a two-way street. For situations where reconciliation is not possible, say, the person is dead, for example--or many other situations can apply here, perhaps the person has not offered nor with accept reconciliation--the choice I have is to put it in God's hands. To do otherwise, would indicate a lack of faith in God. God himself doesn't forgive some things. For example, in Revelation, some martyrs who are described as being under the altar in Heaven, ask God when they will see justice, and he comforts them with the words, "Just a little while longer." Elsewhere in the Bible, Paul states that a man who abandons his family, especially his immediate family, is "worse than a non-believer." Jesus called some of the Pharisees "vipers." Jesus got angry in the Temple and upset the tables of the money changers. Jesus said that anyone who abuses a child will be sorry for the day they (the abuser) was born. Jesus also said that Judas would regret the day he was born. Jesus also put a limiting proviso on his statement from The Cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Notice he's not asking for forgiveness for those who knew what they were doing in betraying him, that is, the Pharisees. In impossible situations, I think some good advice is given in Deuteronomy 32:35,43 --"To me belongeth the vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. . ." So here, God is saying that for situations that are impossible for us, that he will get revenge, and not only that, he will also recompense to the injured party. So we need to hand such situations over to his judgment and action. So there are certainly some people that God doesn't forgive. So who are we to say we forgive such people? Isn't that pride. How can I know more than God or have greater judgment than God? And why on earth would I refuse his justice and recompense by saying that I forgive the person? Isn't that like saying, "Hey, God, you don't know what you're doing. I've got this one."

have you done a video about what music catholics can listen too? like what music is appropriate for catholic? for example can catholic listen to protestant music if it goes against or not against certain church teachings. I'm talking about what music can catholics listen too at home when you're cleaning the house or when you're with friends hanging out, basically anything outside of church (mass). it's just an Idea! :)

I listen to music created by Protestants. Not sure how it contradicts our teachings, because typically their songs don’t. They have awesome songs.

With regard to Forgiveness... It is my understanding that Forgiveness is to acknowledge that the person who has wronged you or your loved one is not expected to make restitution to you for their action. You do this out of love and recognition of God's mercy for this person. However, if this person and/or his actions have caused and will in fact put you or your loved ones in danger, is "reconciliation" with that person required. I'm living in this situation currently- good advice please?

If you don’t get a reply here, I would talk to a priest either in confession or make an appt to see him in his office. I can relate to how this can be confusing. I’m dealing with a similar issue.

Asking for judgement is not for us. If you're talking about man's law, then I don't think that counts towards God. But if you want God's judgement on someone else, I don't think that's right. Just thoughts. (~27:25)

[@brionbell]

The Catholic perspective on this is certainly 'acceptable,' but in every case, nothing separates us from God's eternal love. However, we must be diligent with prayer and repentance. Talking faith is one thing; living true faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ is what separates us from the judgment that every one of us deserves. Living to His glory, and passing the fact of the Gospel to others who are lost will give us joy in this Earthly life, but these acts will never be sufficient for His forgiveness. Go to God with prayer and supplication and ask Him for His forgiveness, and even though mankind is incapable of eliminating sin, we must never give up trying!

Welsh knight - Think of the psychological benefits of going to confession: knowing that you have had absolution not just forgiveness. God does not hold a grudge against you. You have been absolved of your sins. About your comment about simply “going to God”, pick up your Bible and read John chapter 20 verse 23: Douay Rheims - “Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” ‭‭St John‬ ‭20:23‬ ‭DRC1752‬‬ www.bible.com/55/jhn.20.23.drc1752 KJV - “Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.” ‭‭John‬ ‭20:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ www.bible.com/1/jhn.20.23.kjv New revised standard version - “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭20:23‬ ‭NRSV‬‬ www.bible.com/2016/jhn.20.23.nrsv New living translation - “Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭20:22-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬ www.bible.com/116/jhn.20.22-23.nlt Or the New American Bible - “And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Thomas.” ‭‭John‬ ‭20:22-23‬ ‭NABRE‬‬ www.bible.com/463/jhn.20.22-23.nabre Latin Vulgate - “Hæc cum dixisset, insufflavit, et dixit eis: Accipite Spiritum Sanctum: quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis: et quorum retinueritis, retenta sunt.” ‭‭Joannes‬ ‭20:22-23‬ ‭VULG‬‬ www.bible.com/823/jhn.20.22-23.vulg Or if you know Kione Greek - “και τουτο ειπων ενεφυσησεν και λεγει αυτοις λαβετε πνευμα αγιον αν τινων αφητε τας αμαρτιας αφιενται αυτοις αν τινων κρατητε κεκρατηνται” ‭‭ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ‬ ‭20:22-23‬ ‭TR1624‬‬ www.bible.com/182/jhn.20.22-23.tr1624 It is pretty clear that Jesus explains that we must confess our sins; so that they may be forgiven. This is Christ’s power working in the priest in the confessional. He is empowered to do this by our Advocate: the Holy Spirit. Confession is truly a place of victory. If you were baptized, then take a thorough examination of conscience and confess the sins to God through the priest. Directly to God as fostered through the Priest. If not baptized, join the church and have all of your sins truly washed away in the waters of baptism. I will keep you in my prayers that you may be blessed with the gift of the Beatific Vision, our end goal to simply see God in His ultimate glory and fullness. Pax Christi!

[@theresahall1490]

One of the cunning traits of the devil is to make us feel that way. it is the devil that makes you belittle yourself. God always forgives and loves us and wants us to have self esteem. Have faith your sins are forgiven. St. Peter betrayed God it must of been horrible guilt but he understood and lost his guilt and knew that we are all weak and rely on Gods grace for strength.
