Can’t help but watch Catholic Answers! Thanks for helping me on my journey into the Catholic faith!

God bless you Bloodshed3sixteen USA.

[@johnyang1420]

Welcome home!!!

[@timcapes5000]

Thank you for your encouraging programmes and teaching! The Lord bless you all!

[@gracianomendoza8671]

When we experince empathy, love and affection to our unfortunate neighbor that is the Holy Spirit moment moving us and inspiring us to respond. Thank you brother Sy and Jimmy. Always love listening to you both.

[@warrenphilips8441]

I really needed this today. Thank you for all you do. The Holy Spirit is at work through you.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

The Holy Spirit is the driving force that makes us move. Especially through our urges in relation to good works and actions. Like praying and doing charitable works.

[@SuphaNinja]

Careful you heretic, the Holy Spirit is not a "force". He is God and our helper.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

@@SuphaNinja a driving force. One who encourages movement. Hahahaha! Read and understand words. Nobody here is declaring a heresy.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

@@SuphaNinja funny how you jump to conclusions. Hope you exercise extreme respect and discretion. Do not display arrogance. Nobody is degrading God the Holy Spirit, just defining what He does and how He functions. Though still sketchy and still a mystery to us faithful.

this is what i needed.. thank you!

[@Mike-qc8xd]

Just so you know I'm not overly critical I love the final story it was awesome

[@NicklasNylander87]

I would like to hear Jimmy speak to the difference between a traditional Catholic interpretation on the Holy Spirits and the gifts in contrast to the charismatic renewal (There are 160 million charismatic catholics in the world!). There surely must be a great difference between them.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Key word: the Holy Spirit spells HOPE bro. Sy. Godbless you and Jimmy. Godbless, thank you guys!

[@Tyler-qo7mu]

Perhaps it's through divine intervention 🙂

[@anila6751]

Thank you so much for this ❤️ But I need to ask something... What is the view of the Church on energy passed through vibration and frequencies? Like feeling someone's emotions over the phone without being around them... Is it just human perception of the mind, or is it spiritual and deeper?

[@gracianomendoza8671]

As to the church as a whole? I guess when our clergy headed by our pope decides on matters the Holy Spirit WILL ALWAYS prevail. The truth and the WILL OF GOD will always be the result. The Holy Spirit has always prevailed coz we had numerous erring popes by still our church is what it was then and now.

[@charnelallan7159]

Where in the Bible does it say when speaking in tongues it has to be translated

[@bethanyann1060]

1 Corinthians 14:27-28 "If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret. But if there is no one to interpret, let them be silent in church and speak to themselves and to God."

[@gracianomendoza8671]

The pope doesn't always decide alone. He has a college of Cardinals conferring with him always I guess.

[@Mike-qc8xd]

You really haven't answered the question though why is there so much confusion now why does the Pope and many of the are Bishops preach opposite teach opposite tradition and scripture didn't answer the question

[@NicklasNylander87]

I do think Jimmy answered that by saying that humans can act in defiance to the holy Spirit, even if they are in positions of power.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Just like criminal minds are a very small percentage compared to the righeous. There is where the Holy Spirit acts.

[@Mike-qc8xd]

What if the pope ignores the promptings of the Holy Spirit which is what it seems that he's doing what if many of our Bishops are ignoring the prompting of the Holy Spirit which is what it seems that they are doing you guys can't keep defending these people

WHAT IS CAPS LOCK?

Wat is the holy Spirit

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Sy the good outweighs the bad. There are more good popes than bad. There are more good bishops than bad ones. Likewise we have many good priests than bad priests. Good always will outwelgh the bad brother

The church is the body of Christ it's not an institution

[@NicklasNylander87]

I don't see the contradiction. Why cant it be both?

The holy Spirit comes through us when we concecrate ourselves totally to God not mary

[@boonboon5448]

One receives the Holy Spirit when they place their trust upon the Death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin's. The Holy Spirit is indwelled. And we are sealed. One is saved. And going to heaven. You cannot loose salvation. Because you cannot earn it.. It's a free Gift from God. 1st cor 15:1--4 KJV
