I had thrown stuff out there over the prior 6 months, my dad said it had been there but had no idea I had a rosary from back when I was devout. Anyways thanks to Michael and Matt who helped me see intelligent people I respect following the True Church and went to first Mass in a decade couple weeks ago...

I mean the only visible difference is that Christians don't have religious statues they *"venerate"* like the Catholics do but realistically everybody has *some* idol in their heart right?

If you truly believe that your form of idol worship wouldn't be a stench in the eyes of the God of Israel, your supposed god, then I don't know what I can tell you lol. That's fine. Keep believing that. I don't care to convert you to anything, it just seems illogical to me that's all. If I declared myself to be religious, and in my religious book there was a part where my own God said, "don't even make those little statues. Don't even make statues that represent me" and I turn and I see that my place of worship has them plastered all over the place like confetti, then I don't know, I'd think twice about why that's happening in my religion, like why are we doing the opposite of what that religious book says.. I didn't say Christians and Catholics don't act like one and the same, in fact they are, they just have different forms of idols in their lives.

The Ryan Heffinigton (also brilliant) choreographed Sia video he did with that girl from Dance Moms Maddy Zeigler Elastic Heart about mental illness where they each play a part of his brain in a [brain] cage - struggling to integrate - was UNBELIEVABLE. THIS is from the director. "He'd just had a religious conversion. He had just begun recovery. You know, I'm in recovery, so we had that in common. What I wanted, he got it, you know. And I didn't know a lot about him. I don't need to know about somebody's work. I just go with my gut feeling man, especially with actors. I could feel it was right. I knew it was right. And he immediately jumped in his truck and took off for wherever, that mission outside of LA, with the Franciscan monks. And he just sat in the parking lot. Okay, finally they came out and said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'I'm gonna play Padre Pio. These guys, they're not cynical, it's not an attitude, so it's like, 'Okay, fine, come on inside.' And then he began his new journey into Catholicism."

Yes, it is. I have had a special devotion to him since I was small because we share a birthday. 😇

[@jobo8143]

Technical difficulties happened a ton with filming and after Nefarious movie. The exorcist said he heard a female voice whispering chanting at one point and he performed an exorcism it stopped when he said, "Bow down to the terrible name of Jesus." I think he said it's the 3rd line of the exorcism. They had so many problems getting the film done.

[@kyleadamslivaric365]

Hi Michael! I'm the presenter for the Following Padre Pio KZbin channel. Recently, while I was preparing my script for one of our videos, I encountered some trouble with my Word document. It kept crashing whenever I tried to type a quote from Fr. Gabriele Amorth, where he discusses the ugliness of Satan. It was quite interesting and amusing, to say the least! Just wanted to share that with you. God bless!"

Those glitches have happened to me especially on the phone when the conversation with my kids or a friend becomes deeply spiritual concerning the Lord or something in the Bible. Sometimes the call will get cut off or the other person cant hear what I'm saying.

[@melaniem4798]

No joke, Michael - watching these videos of Catholic priests interviews and people's testimonies of coming to God has lead me into reading the Bible and wanting to learn more. Not from a scared point of view but just from opening up more to wanting to learn more about God. I was raised Christian, not Catholic but I feel they have a lot of similar ideologies. PLEASE have Father Dan Reehil back for another interview and if you can, Father Vincent Lampert. Lovely man and would fit in well with your show!

[@lispan3768]

I am a convert too...the BIGGEST and most important difference is Holy Communion...to protestants it is symbolic, to Catholics and Orthodox it IS Jesus in disguise...miracles have proven it.

Catholics are Christians, just like Protestants and Orthodox.

[@Frank7748124]

@@louisaisthankful4603 No, Pio occasionally was visited by a demon in human form. The "person" would try to get Pio to give up his work. Pio discerned that this was not of God and challenged the person to say Christ is Lord. The demon would not say it and then it disappeared.

That's called standing up to "them" tks for that Micheal. 😊

[@brianmccarthy5557]

I'm concerned that Abel Ferrara directed it. I've never found any of his films particularly well done, even "King of New York". More importantly he's the darling of New York intellectuals and if he's a Catholic it's been very well hidden. I hope he's not turned Padre Pio into a banner for Italian Socialism and Communism.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Sounds like Socialism is focus of the movie not Christianity

[@oscarcorral1428]

I run a few remote recording sessions a year for faith-based productions. We like to call these forces “techno gremlins” in order to make fun of them. But I echo and confirm that they come up only when we’re recording powerful material.

[@anzot6903]

You may want to look up the Umbrelino Prayer for Technology, it is a prayer specifically asking for the protection from the demonic for recording devices and such and is very useful for that sort of situation!

[@jgmichael2222]

When I converted to Catholicism my first Sunday Missal in the instruction urges users to actively follow the Mass by silently reading out all the prayers - either in Latin or English, making them our own personal prayers to God. I followed that and that was how I got to appreciting the Mass. Many Mass goers fail to understand this and become mostly passive participants and prone to complain that Mass is boring. Spiritual growth and fervour are fruits of personal fervour and devotion. Like in studies, the fruits of one's efforts show in how much one is willing to put it - to use computer lingo - loading in the input. Success doesn't come without efforts. Jubilation is the outcome of our efforts plus all other additions from encouragement and various assistance from relatives and friends. God will touch only those who truly display love and devotion to Him in the Mass- not the ' cinema goers'. Once touched - and 'electrified' - the fire of the Holy Spirit 'shall begin to flow'. Sadly many Catholics do not understand this and consequently never got to know the Reality of the Lord in the Mass. Thus the verdict - oh how boring is the Mass. God bless.

[@RJStockton]

I find it hard to believe that anybody as narcissistic as Shia LaBeouf has humbled himself and approached the altar the way it's supposed to be. Are we sure he's not just trying to hire Jesus as his personal assistant?

[@FlyingGospel]

The strongest conversions come from those who have fallen the deepest. If you have a hard time believing it, you need to go back to reading your New Testament. Jesus can resurrect the dead but not change the hearts of broken people? Where is your faith?

[@violetviolent7980]

I have to strongly agree, I understand giving those the benefit of the doubt, however we have seen many actor's and many players within Hollywood openly supporting degeneracy since 2016 their way of advertising a film/tv shows, always involved some ignorant statement of how the consumers should be treated with utter contempt which these elites are no longer hiding their feelings. Nevertheless this complete saturation of degeneracy that is plaguing our entertainment has made many understandably question the genuinity of Mr. Shia "He won't divide us" LaBeouf.
