Bravo Cardinal Zen, a living saint! It’s about time that the religious come out and correct, standing up for the truth. I love these ppl who voice their opinions and own understandings of the teachings of Jesus and the true church. Jesus’ teachings are not up for debate and to be subject to ppl’s opinions. God’s Word never changes, it is the same yesterday, today and as it is forever more. No one not even the pontiff can change God’s word. The church needs to stop conforming to the things of this world. It needs to stop placating the masses to be “cool” using Satan’s tool of inclusion to do it. We need to stand firm with God’s Word, bringing the truth of the Word in love to the world. Time is short, we all need to get right with God and stand with the true magisterium of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Michael Lofton should not be defended if he is leading souls down the wrong path, whether he is aware or not

[@JWMTR]

While I agree we should offer Lofton as much charity as possible. In the little time I’ve known of him. He has proven that he deserves very little. He seems to be more of a political activist who took up Church Politics and is pushing his agenda at the expense of the Church (whether he knows that or not). He is quite hatful and vindictive towards Traditionalists while offering exuberant amounts of leeway for blasphemers and actual heretics. For example, according to Lofton, Bishop Strickland is a “schismatic”. But our “elder brothers” in the faith didn’t mean our Lord when writing their blasphemous texts.”

[@itdobelikethatsometimes_]

He has been trolling and gaslighting his fellow online Catholic content creators,but we won't watch him, insulting and abusing our bishops and cardinals,and hatred to traditional Catholics,and anyone who has divergent opinion from his.

Michael Lofton juggles logic, common sense and facts to make it seem that Francis always winds up on the correct side of every question, even when Francis is quite content to stand pat and proud on the wrong side. ML is an ultramontane enthusiast for a man who refuses the defining Papal title of Vicar of the Son of God on Earth and chooses instead to be known by his Civil title of Jorge Bergoglio, President of the Vatican City State. For Francis, the Roman Catholic Church is subordinate to the Vatican City State, in keeping with his stance of State over Church; The Secular, the Civil, governing the Church and regulating the practice of Religion to serve the World which will not have Christ as its King. Of course, Francis' attitude is evidently Stonecutter, even if we can't find his name inscribed in the membership rolls of the local Lodge of Rome. Michael Lofton seems oblivious to the anti-Catholic, anti-Christian basis of Francis' most peculiar Papacy. But until a real Pope comes along, ML is content to follow and defend Francis, who by the way is opposed to converting anyone to Catholicism. Why doesn't Michael Lofton realize how contradictory his position is, and how thankless is the task he has assigned himself as a social media ''Popesplainer''?

I wouldn’t even call Michael prominent.

[@TheBadTrad]

Lofton is absolutely reprehensible. The way he’s attacked women and others is disgusting. I can’t wait to see how he denigrates Cardinal Zen-and he will….

[@fotisvon9943]

his video is already up and was rather enticing in its presentation and argument.

[@TheBadTrad]

@@fotisvon9943 I’m sure. I refuse to give him a view, so I won’t be watching.

[@leonardstefanyshyn40]

Have only ever listened to Loften for about 10 seconds ever. Garbage in garbage out. He’s like a mosquito.

1) there’s no dead Saints. The Saints are living and more alive than us whom are in the valley of the shadow of death; 2) doesn’t matter how many people consider someone a “saint”, only God knows the heart;

[@upfromthefields]

Please don't waste your time following Lofton. His analysis is intellectually not very deep. He is mean. Often, Lofton attacks the person, not the idea. His textual analysis of documents is amateurish.

[@MystieK_]

Have you watched his video? he literally quotes church cannon and emmunical documents. Remove the scales from you eyes

[@user-or4ut2qi3q]

In this case, Cardinal Zen insulted Lofton personally and Lofton refused to retaliate in kind. What are you talking about?

[@Sole-tx9cx]

@@MystieK_ Yes, her cherry picks and perverts. Lofton is disingenuous.

[@Sole-tx9cx]

@@user-or4ut2qi3q I believe Lofton stuck first,

[@anzot6903]

​@@MystieK_ he is not trained as a dogmatic theologian and makes many silly mistakes because of it. There's really no point in listening to him. Everyone would be much better off reading a book. An excellent introduction to dogmatic theology is Ludwig Ott's Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma. Read that, then return to Lofton and see if you can spot the difference.

Thanks!

[@ameliaoc]

Followed loften way back ...didnt typically agree with him but was interested ...however because of his blatant lack of charity, ever expanding arrogance and errors, I stopped listening to him a long time ago.

[@bellathereader1328]

Good reporting Anthony! You are a man of integrity

[@hackwilson1467]

This man has completely lost his mind😢

[@jackiefisher1820]

I love you Anthony! Keep up the good work and more advisedly keep up the good example! Lots of love from Wolverhampton.

[@miryambarnabas2424]

Amen in Agreement with you Dear Jackie!

[@JamesMartinelli-jr9mh]

I saw the title. Immediately Lofton came to mind.

[@billyhw5492]

Lofton is bad news.

[@R.C.425]

Thank you

[@mayohalloran6788]

I have watched Mr Lofton a few times, the Mr knows nothing Lofton really has a bug up his nose about the educated Dr Taylor Marshall especially criticising Dr Taylor's home that he and his wife have built, he accuses Dr Taylor as a KZbinr whose after people's money, I refer to him as a sophist 😱🙏🇮🇪☘️

[@angelicacalvet6708]

I have ZERO interest in reading or listening anything Mr Lofton may have to say

[@daveufirst]

Yes. Putting a bust of Luther in the Vatican was yuge.

[@minapipita7917]

Zen was extremely charitable with that piece of work. The fact that ML is popular tells you about the state of things. Waste of time. Sorry.

[@MystieK_]

yes attacking someone's appearance is charitable. Ready church doctrine yourself and the Catechism not youtube theologians on either side.

[@EpoRose1]

@@MystieK_ Would you rather he attack his intelligence, like St Jerome did against Helvidius? “I was requested by certain of the brethren not long ago to reply to a pamphlet written by one Helvidius. I have deferred doing so, not because it is a difficult matter to maintain the truth and refute an *ignorant boor* who has *scarce known the first glimmer of learning* , but because I was afraid *my reply might make him appear worth defeating.* “

[@Betrue875]

There is nobody more capable to give Michael Lofton a dressing-down than Cardinal Zen!
