Great show. Rip to Archbishop David O'Connell let us not forget his ministry as well.

[@ryandellacrosse6416]

I loved that man. Beautiful and caring soul

[@quadropheniaguy9811]

@@ryandellacrosse6416 You chaps should visit our beautiful Emerald Isle perhaps to pay your respects to his memory? Archbishop David was born in Co. Cork. It's a lovely part of the country.

He is missed. God rest his soul. 🕊️

I'm a returning Catholic. When I came back, I i really didn't understand. I thought the holy communion was Symbol. I was completely wrong. The holy communion is actually the body and blood of jesus christ . I went to a lot of confessions because I was gone for a long time . After my confessions, I put in the holy communion. I go every sunday to mass. I've been back for 9 weeks now . Is so wonderful to go to mass but taking a day holy communion.

Grandma saying her rosary is the most beautiful segment of this show. A great visual for me.

Watch this again, it was great getting to know your Bishop. May God Bless each of you.

[@carolholland2836]

A big thanks to Bishop Pohlmeier for the explanation of why we call our priests 'Father'. (52:30 -53:46) Next to our relationship with Mary, it is one of the hardest titles to explain to my Protestant and Evangelical friends. May God continue to bless your work.🙏

Im catholic from asia baptised 2015. Pray for catholic church put more effort in asia and africa. There still many freethinker in this 2 continental. Beside that, should encourage catholic to have more children. Catholic and christian population is shrinking due to low birth rate and leaving the church.

[@aggilee7528]

Awesome . Thank you Jesus for the talk show .

[@tHEdANKcRUSADER]

Fun fact about Catholics in Arkansas Edward Mary Fitzgerald was the second Roman Catholic bishop of Little Rock (Pulaski County), overseeing a diocese that encompasses the boundaries of the state of Arkansas. As the most historically significant Arkansas Catholic prelate, he was one of the only bishops in the world, and the only English-speaking one, to vote against papal infallibility. As an Arkansas bishop, he strove to attract Catholic immigrants to the state and sought also to evangelize African Americans; these efforts, however, bore little fruit. St. Edward Catholic Church was named in his honor

Bishop Pohlmeier graced the Couple-to-Couple League's instructional videos with an awesome distillation of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body several years ago. Wonderful to see him in his new position.

Bishop Father Erik, Great to see you. And , you haircut looks great. God Bless you and the fortunate people of your Diocese, they need to know they are very blessed to have you.

I have said this many times, but I love this show. I always learn something and I always laugh.

[@cynthiawright222]

Great episode! Enjoyed the stories!

[@Lola-kv6fx]

Great show as usual!! It’s so weird that I have never had any problems calling priest Father/Padre. I always thought that it was the fact that I’m a cradle Catholic with a long lineage of Catholicism on both Dad and Mom’s side. The other day I met a cradle Catholic just like me and shared that he sometimes has a hard time calling priest Father. I sometimes called my doctor Father on accident.❤😂

[@jonathangoodwin646]

How's baptized in the Catholic church 1979. Then I was 22. Now I'm age 66. I am so grateful to be in the Catholic church I go to mass every Sunday. I want to de easter mass . Also went to hash wednesday Lent No Meat Fish and rice Only. I don't have a problem going to priest father What's that means to me What's that means to me? Spiritual leader And teachers . Took me a while to get used to it Took me a while to get used to it. Doesn't bother me? I love listening to the priest on his message during met mass.

Reminding us just what a large responsibility our bishops have, but also how much they care for their flocks. I would love everyone to view this episode to remind us in the pews how close these bishops are in succession to Christ himself. #prayforpriests

Lol the stacks of mail. I'm a Mail Carrier and can always tell the Catholics by the mail. Once in a while I deliver mail to my Decon. And the amount of Mail he gets from all the different Catholic Organizations is astounding lol.

We call the priest father because he is our spiritual leader. And i'm so grateful for the priest when I go to confession I go to the same one no curtain It's like When i'm talking to the priest I come talking to god. He's not god but he's in the place i've got someone that's physical.

[@josephmaxwell5033]

Very interesting, providing clear direction. Would have liked that they explained and expanded more on the COVID restrictions that has so damaged the credibility of the Episcopate and the Church. Jesus in the Eucharist but no, in your greatest hour of need you are deprived of access to him and his other Sacraments.

[@xiomarablanco5598]

Priesthood is fascinating because is not only a human thing (Pastoral) but a a divine thing (Theology/Doctrine). Our Church as the Body of Christ and as an Institution is both mystical and extraordinary, because of the way it was formed and organized. There’s no other institution as the Catholic Church, the oldest and the most influential in human civilization and of course in salvation of humanity. I wish we were united as Jesus meant it to be from the beginning to the end: one God, one Faith, one Church (One Body in communion Shepherds and the Flock and one Liturgy where sacredness, reverence and the beauty God deserves rule). It’s really sad to see two different kind of Catholics within our Church: traditional (perennial) and modernists (changeable as the world demands). We are supposed to share the same doctrine, to conform to God’s way and not the world’s way. It’s so simple, it has always been like that, why change? We need to pray so that we learn to love and please God as he deserves and expects. With all due respect I wish to remind the leaders of the Church that the Catholic Church is not their own but Jesus’s. Please stick to his teachings collected in Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Tradition. The Lord knows better, he doesn’t need to be corrected. Just be humble, faithful and courageous to serve God and not the world, and rest assure the flock will follow and support you all the way to even give our lives for you. We love our priests, our Bishops and the Pope. We need you, without you we cannot have access to the sources of grace, healing and knowledge of God for our salvation. Do not abandon us, do not attack us, we are not your enemies but your best fans.🙏🙏🙏

I always wondered why Some of the priest Have them move to another parish . How come they can't stay in one parish.

[@loriwagner7900]

What about how the original 2nd commandment is missing and the last is broken into two to make up for it? How do Catholics explain that I used to be from birth catholic but broke with it in my late twenties

[@jonathangoodwin646]

I love seeing the priest Not to step church . If i'm at a store I see a priest I will say hi father Cause I know he's my spiritual leader ..

[@ARobichaud]

I thought Bishops were consecrated. They’re already ordained once a priest.

[@Opaul222]

So, seek the Kingdom of God first is a command we should obey but calling no man father, there are exceptions? Are there exceptions in biblical scripture other than the commandment which pertains to obeying our biological parents? Jesus is very clear in His word and is not deceptive so why does man think he knows better? I am a practicing cradle Catholic but I have lots of questions as I read/study the Holy Bible.

[@The_Atheist_Carpenter5625]

Here's how it works: Anything you read in the bible that you don't want to believe or accept, you call that a "spiritual metaphor". So like in 1 Samuel 15 where it quotes god as saying "do not spare them, put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." And you dont want to believe that an omnibenevolent god could explicitly command genocide, you just say it didnt happen, and its only written in the bible as a REALLY convoluted and aggressive allegory for teaching a spiritual lesson about how much god hates sin. Now, anything you read in the bible that is a direct quote from god, or jesus is this case like "my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink, he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall inherit eternal life". If you as a catholic want to believe that is true, then you just say yes that did happen and its not a metaphor, or poetic language, that cherry is one of the literal ones so you pick it. Any position you want to take, there's a spiritual interpretation of the bible waiting to validate you.

[@jonathangoodwin646]

Amen, I meant we turning Catholic . I did all my confessions. I've been going to mass every sunday. Take a holy we communion. I've been back 9 weeks . I'm so grateful to be a Practicing Catholic I. Oh god so much for all his wonderful open alarms to receive me back into his Fold . I'm so excited every sunday to be able to go to mass Sundays is my favorite day of the week so I can go to mass .

[@user-zo2ge3oe8d]

@@jonathangoodwin646 you know there is Mass every day right?

[@jonathangoodwin646]

You're right there use exceptions. The reason we call the priest father. Hes our spiritual father. Spiritual teacher.

[@Opaul222]

@@jonathangoodwin646 isn’t that why the veil was torn? We now have direct access to our Heavenly Father through Jesus who is our high priest according to scripture. I can’t find “exceptions” in the written word so if you can, please let me know.

Saya melihat perang yang di lakukan oleh musuh atau lawan, mereka menggunakan bom, sekarang perang menggunakan cara bom dan saya melihat seorang wanita mudah memakai pakaian putih menaruh ular di dalam kamar, saya tau siapa dan asalnya dari mana, sekarang keserakahan manusia meskipun mereka bukan orang yang di kehendaki Tuhan, manusia memaksakan keinginannya untuk bisa terkenal dan mengangkat nama derajatnya dengan cara tipu daya, untuk meraih keinginan nya dan tujuannya dengan melakukan berbagai macam cara tipu daya, melakukan berbagai macam cara kejahatan untuk meraih keinginannya, padahal mereka bukan orang yang di kehendaki Tuhan, Agama dan Tuhan di gunakan sebagai topeng untuk menutupi wajah munafik dan kejahatan tipu dayanya, agama tidak mengenal kasih dan kebenaran, manusia menggunakan Agama dan Tuhan hanya di pajang di depan manusia sebagai topeng, tidak ada iman dan kasih, iman dan kasih di gunakan cara licik dan penipuan kejahatan, misalkan memaksakan keinginan mereka meskipun saya tidak suka, tetap memaksakan keinginan mereka, menghina dan memfitnah orang lain dan kembali berbalik mengemis, menuding orang lain Alkohol, Sex, Smoking, Drack, padahal mereka menginginkan sex dan pernikahan, dan dengan tindakan kejatan kemunafikan kebohongan mereka, lontarkan kepada orang lain, membuat mereka terus menjadi pengemis yang tidak pernah di angkat olehTuhan, hanya menjadi pengemis fitnaan yang di lontarkan kepada orang lain yang tidak pernah bersah, dan pada akhirnya mereka terus Tuhan jadikan mereka seperti pengemis yang menjilat sampah bangkai yang sudah di buang di pembuangan sampah dan kembali mengambilnya dan menjilatnya lagi.

[@The_Atheist_Carpenter5625]

"I eat jesus" T-shirts would be a terrible idea for your cause. Can you imagine some random catholic, especially if they're named Cole, trying to defend transubstantiation and Aristotelian metaphysics in a casual conversation? They'd either come across like a cannibal, or an idiot, or both. You need a broad vocabulary, public speaking skills, and a deep reserve of psuedo-intellectual references to dish up the kind of word salad that would be effective. Bishop barron can sell the eucharist, Don't hand your average catholic a provocative t-shirt and expect good things to come from it.

[@donnaz6069]

Your show is good, but I think it would be amazing if you added 3 women to the table: a nun, a lay director of religious ed, a catholic business owner. "I really believe that nothing is going to change in the world until the situation of women changes," she says. "I'll tell you why: You cannot simply dismiss over half of the human race, which means dismiss their agendas, dismiss their needs, dismiss their gifts, dismiss their intelligence." Sr. Joan Chittister

There are many on line Catholic programs that include women or are exclusively women. Not every program has to have both men and women, in my opinion.
