What Should Catholics Do?

[@garyworth6046]

Thanks Brian. What many Catholics fail to remember is that the church dogmas - 255 at my last count -- are inerrant and no other church, EO included, has all of them. Therefore, in today's craziness, stay the course! Jesus will always protect his church. Trust in him.

I’m a 71 year old cradle Catholic who has had a very deep love for the Church and Divine Mercy all of my life. Today I have to stop myself from being constantly angry as I see Satan filling young minds up with all sorts of ideologies that will make them feel like ‘nice’ people and tell them that God isn’t needed. I very much like this young man, he has a good and genuine heart.

[@lmAIone]

I’m 23 in 12 days and I totally feel your frustration, Ive been trying my hardest to not be angry all the time too buddy. Brian has been helping me get through these rough times through education, learning is the only way I can cope with this stuff going on in the world.

[@jerrycotter2000]

I was just getting to a point that I could switch off from all of the craziness in the world today and then this came up. The osmosis of these ideologies is slowly spreading and Satan is using identity politics to divide us, breaking us all into groups of mainly victims. But when I hear that the Church is now doing the same I am horrified. God wrote our names in the very palm of His hand before the beginning of time and we can be sure sure that we are completely and uniquely loved. We are not a group and if any group does feel excluded then please, as individuals, change your behaviour and join the Church and be true to yourself. Don't look for a group pass. When I hear all of this I am reminded of every Marian apparition from Lourdes to Fatima, to Medugoje and I wonder what our Blessed Mother would have to say. This synod often referred to the 'spirit' to guide us, when it certainly isn't the Holy Spirit, but something that St. Ignatius very clearly warned us against. You know what, I'm glad that I'm not 23 and I'm very happy to be where I am today, it's been a very long journey and with quite a few dark times but I never lost faith. Footprints in the sand says it all for me. Nothing happens by chance, just keep praying, especially the Divine Mercy Chaplet and God will return in the most amazing consolation that will bring tears to your eyes.@@lmAIone

[@williampeters9838]

I am a Lutheran who enjoys your channel a lot. Something I have been convinced of by the events in western culture and in major sects of Christianity is the need for cultural ecumenism within the church. By this I don’t mean the mush mouthed compromising and obscuring of doctrines distinct to different traditions. What I do mean is that many Christians throughout the west are experiencing the same turmoil Catholics are in their respective denominations. I believe one of the most essential steps forward from this uncertain time is to revitalize the historic distinctly Christian culture which cannot be mistaken as provincialism or prejudice. This, I repeat, does not mean compromising doctrine, but gathering around the central truth of Christ. This would require humility from all parties involved to allow room for others without “othering” them. The reformed would have to allow mysticism a place, the Eastern Orthodox would have to allow a place for systematic theology, the Catholics might have to stop talking about Luther uncharitably, the Lutherans might have to be tolerant of Baptists. I am very excited for what you are doing through Fishers Network. Hopefully within the next few years I will be able to help organize something of a conference which would help expose people to other historic and conservative traditions in Christianity. God used poetry and saints’ writings to really drive home this point to me. Your channel does a good job of encouraging people to challenge themselves. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the most beloved, recognizable, and influential public Christian figures were charitable to other Christians and cultured. They were neither cosmopolitan nor provincial but men interested in the universals which indwelled the particular. Why is Lewis so important to Christians of any denomination? Why was Eliot able to hear the heartbeat of western culture so well and write brilliant essays on how Christendom could reclaim its place? What is it about a fourteenth century Florentine man named Dante that captures the imagination and transforms the way we see the world? These along with many others are part of the same tradition that we as a generation are so ignorant of compared to our predecessors. It is not completely our fault, but to . When I was in a reformed church and tried to share my experience and excitement about reading people like Teresa of Avila, Maximus the Confessor, or St John of the Cross I was met with suspicion. Christian mysticism, though completely Orthodox, was seen as heterodox. The topic isn’t as important as the principle I wish to demonstrate which is that individual Christians tend to be uncharitable to completely Orthodox beliefs and don’t even know it. Absolutely, the degree to which dissent is allowed in a church taking communion together is up to those shepherding the flock and they will answer to God for their decisions. When dealing with other Christians outside of our churches, though, WE answer to God for our actions. It never hurts to remember Job and ask ourselves how much of what we are unequivocally claiming is revealed by God and how much is our arrogant speculation. These unnecessary divisions are weakening us against a religion of Secular Humanism which has found unity in our destruction. If we can witness something as contradictory as the “Queers for Palestine” and are exclusively associated with our own sects, we too are instruments in butchering the body of Christ.

[@RosieJ7223]

There is a group called the Alleluia Community in Augusta, GA that is like what you’re describing. Not an “all roads lead home, man!” kind of group, but ecumenical in a way I haven’t encountered elsewhere. The majority are Roman Catholic, but there is a Lutheran pastor, non-denominational folks, and some mainline Protestants, too. It’s very much about recognizing the sovereignty of God- we can (and should) talk about doctrine and argue (cordially) about it. But there comes a point where two people from different traditions recognize the Holy Spirit working in the other. Their mind doesn’t understand it, but their spirit testifies to the truth. So what do they do? Both can only say “Jesus Christ is Lord and we submit ourselves to Him.” Sometimes you simply must leave it at that and share in the joy of the Lord. It’s about humbling ourselves and actively living out Christian love even when our minds can’t understand what God is doing. Im from the West Coast originally and when I met some of those folks I was shocked at how on fire they were TOGETHER for the Lord. Gives me lots of hope that Jesus really is active and cares about Christians living together in unity. God bless you, brother.

It would be really great to hear what you have to say, as a Canadian, on how Catholics should address the spiraling craziness of SOGI in our schools. As a parent and a Catholic, it seems from my end, that homeschooling is the only way to go at this point. Our school board members are muting us when we try to voice our concerns, and they're openly showing hatred and mockery towards our religion (and others, but specifically Catholicism). The fiance of one of our board members dressed up as Jesus in counter protest and said horrible things about traditional families and Christians just a couple weeks ago. What can we do? I realise that as Catholics we are supposed to expect ridicule and abuse to come our way, and carry that cross, but even our Catholic schools are being forced (and some are willing) to teach and support the indoctrination of the gender and 2SLGBTQ+ ideologies.. which very clearly goes against Church teachings.

[@williamreymond2669]

4:15] "I just don't think God intended for us to know about every disaster, every detail of every war, of every misfortune that befalls someone somewhere..." I believe that the operational principle that Brian is searching for is 'subsidiarity' which is taught in the Catechism where it teaches about the Communal Character of the Human Vocation in Part Three, Chapter Two, Article 1 from about paragraph 1878 forward. Twenty five years ago I formulated my personal political thesis as follows: 'decision making authority should be retained at the lowest practical level.' That is subsidiarity in a nutshell. I think you could insert my independently derived formulation of subsidiarity into the Catechism and you would probably never notice, which attests to its universal character. This Bri is what I think you are searching for, and it is already in the Catechism. You could expand my original statement by adding: 'political concern should be focused toward what you have most effective political concern over,' but that is different than our spiritual concerns which can be more universal and should be included in our prayer life precisely because they are outside of our direct political control. The other thing I would recommend, Brian, is get rid of all of that awful stock footage in your videos, it's not needed, is probably a waste of your money, and makes your videos worse.

[@nerdanalog1707]

Fulton Sheen once said a joke that strangely stuck in my gold-fish memory. It's set in the 19th century about 2 businessmen, one a Catholic and the other a Jew. The Catholic keeps trying to convert the Jew, but he resists. One day, he tells his Catholic friend that he is about to go to Rome, and promises to convert if he is swayed by what the Vatican has to offer. The Catholic friend is quite worried, as he knows of the beauties in the Vatican, but also of the corruption. A little over a month passes by, and the Jewish friend has come back. After an exchange of the latest news, he announces that he is ready to convert to Catholicism. The Catholic friend is quite happy, but perturbed, what had convinced his Jewish business partner? Was it the tomb of Saint Peter? The Sistine Chapel and the magnificent paintings? Was it a woman? The Jewish friend said it was none of those things. He stated all he saw at the Vatican was depravity and corruption. So why? Why did he want to become Catholic? Because, he said, if such a depraved, corrupted, poorly organised structure can survive 2000 years, then truly it is God's will. Scandals in the Church will come and go, but the Church still stands. As Catholics we believe in God's promise. So while we can have our moments of sadness or anger, we must never despair, that would be turning your back on God. During WWII, not many people had a radio, and most communicated by telegraph or written letters, yet news about the war was still passed, the Allies were able to win, a Resistance had been created in different countries, and all this without TV, Twitter, KZbin, TikTok and the such.

Michael Sugrue gives a great overview in his KZbin channel. Reading a stoic like Aurelius or a Christian stoic like Boethius is a good place to start thinking in classical philosophical categories. Plato is actually fairly readable but the significance of what is actually being talked about can sometimes go over your head. Learning to have the same intuitions is something that poetry helps with too. It’s seeing reality in terms of universals and particulars which takes a while to get used to. We moderns have grown up in a society that tries to construct a philosophical framework relative to the self versus the classical system which constructs a system around objective ultimate realities outside of ourselves (a much more Christian view).
