My my, this insight provided by our Church is truly without parallel. Nar laga Dia thu (may God never weaken you) as we say in Ireland ✝️

[@elizabethdarley8646]

Excellent work. Thank you. As an armchair etymologist, God teaches me, through my reading prayers in Latin sometimes, that the word Liberal, to be liberal, means to be freed from. In the Movement called Liberal, Father has said what I recently surmised that the Liberals believe in being free from duty and free from adult responsibility, free from the weight of being a man (human).

The intellect of these Priests is utterly compelling. Can only be Truth, makes so much sense

Amazing series indeed

[@jeaniemccombs2200]

I love these videos, they go very fast and name people I’ve never heard of, is there any chance you know of online classes we could take?

[@sajinisunil8495]

Thank you Jesus, Our King and Lord, forever! Amen.

[@NoChicanery]

This is wonderful thank you. Another excellent priest who has written several books on the crisis back in the early 20th century is Fr Denis Fahey. Found at Loreto Publications

31:47 “If the authority would spend more time promoting virtue, it would need to spend less time enforcing laws.” There’s the money quote. There’s a direct causation between the breakdown of the family and the chaotic civil unrest happening, especially in cities. The family has broken down because of the breakdown of virtue.

[@TheGringoSalado]

Utter ignorance of virtue. I doesn’t help that the modern church abandoned great writing of Aquinas and Augustine and replaced with…..

Vatican II, in simple, scriptural terms was Shepherds (like John Dearden in Detroit, where we lived) telling the Flock that it was ok to leave the Fold, even though wolves were prowling outside of It. I was there: parish 'busybodies,' as my saintly father called them, demanding a say in the Liturgy; lay 'teachers' eagerly informing boys, hitherto only concerned with baseball and model airplanes, of adult matters. Read the Little Flower and George Bernanos for exposes of Satan's attack upon Childhood. 'Unless ye be like children ... Matthew 18:3. God bless The SSPX and this series.

[@feaokautai7354]

Intellectually and spiritually brilliant and clear for my faith to grow in the TRUTH JESUS CHRIST. Amen Amen Amen!🥰💯💯💯❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mikejaydubs4026]

I don’t understand the resignations by the opponents to Liberalism. On the terms of their position, aren’t resignations effectively concessions?

[@janetbaker1945]

Father made a quick comment about angels, something like 'they can't lose it.' I think it meant eternal happiness or the beatific vision. But I don't understand. Didn't Lucifer sin? Did that condition change, the ability to sin?

[@Toner126]

06:45 “The church has always been a very staunch defender that man….” What?

[@prayunceasingly2029]

I'm curious about physical liberty and people who were burnt at the stake for heresy due to their different theological views and different interpretations of scripture? If the church believed in true liberty would they want to burn people to death for using that liberty differently than the church wants? True freedom requires freedom to disagree.

[@CecyGzz]

I guess you ignore how did Holy Inquisition happened. The practice you refer to is what protestants and muslims do.

[@ds9876]

Liberty does not grant one the right to act in a subversive manner in a society or a Church. Both the secular and ecclesiastical authorities have the duty and responsibility to protect the people from subversion.

[@antoniopioavallone1137]

I disagree with you saying that liberalism is rooted on naturalism, on the contrary it is rooted on christian thinkers, the founder of liberalism is considered by most historians and philosophers to be John Locke who was a christian philosopher; his political ideas influenced a lot american constitution, in his time he wanted to put an end to the horrible wars between catholics and protestants. Read the epistle of tolerance and the second treatise of government to see that. Also liberalism changed a lot with the passing of time, the liberals of today are not like the first liberals and probably they would be considered today by them as conservatives.
