As a Protestant who has been interested in the catholic faith for the last 5 years, watching this video several light bulbs of understanding have came on!! Feeling more strongly that I want to begin the conversion process. Thank you so much Fr. Chris for dedicating your life to the service of God. I will be praying for the Catholic church and it's members. Please pray for me as well. God Bless you all.

[@deborahdukes6096]

These conversations Father Chris had with his online date reminds me of myself 20 years ago. I was a devout Baptist who was challenged daily by a coworker who practiced Wicca. Everyday at lunch she would badger me about Christianity and the Bible specifically. She forced me to find answers to questions that I had never thought of on my own. The answers I found led me to the Catholic Church. I will be forever grateful to her that she opened up my eyes, whether she intended to or not. God has a great sense of humor and can use the most unlikely people for his greater glory 😀

[@patriciacorona2306]

Fr. Chris, I'm the godmother of a few of my nieces and nephews, my sisters' children. One sister is no longer Catholic and the other does not like for me to tell her children what to do. Before I became their godmother I told my sister I was going to encourage them and to guide them in the faith, she agreed. I have not been allowed to guide them. Please pray for my family and me.

[@oliverclark5604]

Belief in uncertainty saves, not faith as progress in emotion or thinking as progress in works, but when their covenant non-presumed reciprocity is kept or allowed is belief in uncertainty: Family and family members are all there is as biology and the Trinity tells us! Some in families are helpers in procreation role, gift ensuring family within the family but remain insuring family members’ identities need of union. When world family population was able to be measured in 1930, the measurements were of both ensuring quantity and insuring quality in what had been thought to be its arithmetic quantity procession in food supplies and was known to be its geometric quality progression in population. Hence the call for limitation of population and the Church of England allowing artificial contraception in 1930 then rebuked by Pius X1’s Casti Connubii, 30 December 1930. From 1931 this as it was called multiplier effect in economics was measured with observation measurement terms for ensuring food supply and insuring population finding just about paripassu rate of growth with only a slight advance noted by 1977. Advice to this effect in 1964 to church and state because lacking example had the inseparability restated in HV, 1968 but not the qualitative equality of identity and role. On example been given on 22 October 1979 simultaneously with advice, this reference point allowed or kept an absolute power of authorisation of applications simultaneously of observation measurement terms for ensuring and insuring evident on 25 February 1991, 24 January 1995, 4 July 2012 and 31 March 2021 and then followed on or just after 10 June 2021 as predicted in 1948 by theologian, Fr Gaston Fessard, an influence on Pope Francis, and 1964 by quantum physicist, Peter Higgs. It takes time for tradition as to what we do and change in who we are to keep their inseparability and qualitative equality. The terms “faith” and “thinking” as seen as alternatives for “belief” reflected Aquinas holding that male sperm was the only active agent in conception. Belief, as by definition in some degree of uncertainty otherwise it is knowing, is this keeping or allowing inseparability and qualitative equality of thinking and having faith. How was this kept, through both advice and example, on these dates is evident as follows: 22 October 1979: Jane Clark admitting collapse of her idea; that is, thinking, not kept inseparable and qualitatively equal with her having faith. 25 February 1991: a catechist and a parent executive of an association on the reference point of Jane Clark of 22 Oct 1979 keeping both qualitative and quantitative equality of their ensuring roles in ensuring eucharist (food supplies); 24 February 1995: a catechist and a family member keeping inseparability and qualitative equality of ensuring eucharist (food supplies) and insuring marriage (population); 31 March 2021: a family member keeping or allowing inseparability and equality in quantity and quality of their family member identities; 10 June 2021: as both family member in identity need of union and catechist in procreation gift role, Pope Francis keeping their inseparability and qualitative equality of his procreation helper gift ensuring charity donations within the family and his insuring his family member identities in need of union. That our idea of our identity changes over time is due to our previous ideas modifying or collapsing, not to our identity changing. Do-ing role as process can change but be-ing in union identity as can progress or regress in inseparability and qualitative equality of role and identity been better or worse kept cannot change. It was soon after 4 July 2012 when the Higgs Boson sub-atomic particle was proved to exist that Pope Francis on this and other equivalent reference points commenced this keeping for the better on 19 March 2013 continuing presently in awaiting the judgement of his Vatican State criminal court on the indictment of Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others of not keeping inseparability and qualitative equality of their roles and identities following the Italian State civil court in early November 2021 finding the “Zan” anti-homophobia bill did not keep this inseparability and qualitative equality. Tradition process and Change progress can take much time to appear to have kept, as they can, must and do keep, their inseparability and qualitative equality.

@kevin Middleton i agree with you, more teachings need to be done.. Maybe there should be catechism for adults where they are taught more details like what Fr Chris teaches.. most people are taught catechism under the age of 10yr then thats the end of teaching. There should be an ongoing teachings beside sermons.. otherwise we become lukewarm or we Can not defend our faith fully coz of luck of enough knowledge of it.

This is the program the Church the was supposed to teach the people through the lens of Jesus Christ: CCC 1697: Catechesis has to reveal in all clarity the joy and the demands of the way of Christ. Catechesis for the "newness of life" in him should be: - a catechesis of the Holy Spirit, the interior Master of life according to Christ, a gentle guest and friend who inspires, guides, corrects, and strengthens this life; - a catechesis of grace, for it is by grace that we are saved and again it is by grace that our works can bear fruit for eternal life; - a catechesis of the beatitudes, for the way of Christ is summed up in the beatitudes, the only path that leads to the eternal beatitude for which the human heart longs; - a catechesis of sin and forgiveness, for unless man acknowledges that he is a sinner he cannot know the truth about himself, which is a condition for acting justly; and without the offer of forgiveness he would not be able to bear this truth; - a catechesis of the human virtues which causes one to grasp the beauty and attraction of right dispositions towards goodness; - a catechesis of the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and charity, generously inspired by the example of the saints; - a catechesis of the twofold commandment of charity set forth in the Decalogue; - an ecclesial catechesis, for it is through the manifold exchanges of "spiritual goods" in the "communion of saints" that Christian life can grow, develop, and be communicated.

Father Chris God Bless you! I heard you Preaching alliuejuila praise the Lord , I was cooking dinner and listening to you speak , I felt the holy spirit power coming out of you!! I even had an anointing of the holy spirit myself as I listened to you as I was yes!! Amen right on! Waking everyone up sitting there listening to you! It was wonderful . Topics you spoke of needed to be addressed such as saints and healing of broken hearts and abuse and who is church what is church so awesome beautifully graciously explained with power of God authority and with care compassion. IAM so glad I was obedience to listen to to your talk today. Such a refreshing course for my as I attended prayers meetings and bible studies for quite of few years ago yet I've been on on a low flame of faith due to injuries and set backs in my life obstacle s to attend church thank God for you tube video s on phone s. Such a blessing. Yes you enkindle the flame of my faith with a high flame of faith renewal . Wow! That's powerful for me. Strength and healing and Power to overcome weakness and repair my muscles and walking and power to continue on my Lenten journey with vitality and conviction to speak of Jesus Christ as He leads me . Shine bright not be put under a lamp shade. So thank you so much and such a blessing for all who heard you, I prayed also while you spoke. As souls needed healing as well. Very well done ! 😁🙏❤️🇺🇸🎼🎵🎶🥤🏜️From AZ USA Arizona Peace and Joy
