Catholics in Exile w/ Dr. Scott Hahn

[@dtreese]

I’m a prodigal who was raised Presbyterian. Stopped going at 18. Now I’m 48 and doing RCIA. I read “Hail, Holy Queen” last week, and my mind is on fire. I’m thinking about scripture in a way I never have. The Holy Spirit opened my heart. Dr. Hahn and this podcast have been a major part of opening my eyes and ears - you are a blessing to the rest of us. Thank you for what you do.

When I met Pope Francis I asked him to pray for me and he said “PRAY FOR MMMEEEEE” it was so sweet and humble

[@archangelliii2536]

Actually it sounds SCARY to me. He's been saying that since he first stepped out on the Balcony at St. Peter almost 11 years ago now. Don't know but he gets WORSE every day, not better!!!! Prayers can only go so far...as far as the individual you pray for will allow. I'm not saying don't pray for him but that him asking you to do so it's kind of dubious....does he REALLY mean it??!!! I do not see humility there my friend. Otherwise, he would've gotten better, not worse in the last 11 years!

[@katharina.magdalena]

⁠@@archangelliii2536i would say trust God and let it to Him. You’re being judgmental but you cannot see the heart of the Pope. Only God can see it and judge if it’s humble or not. As a Christian we should love and pray for our enemies- and he ist our Pope !!! you would deny a prayer for because he doesn’t do as you wish or think he should? A little bit concerning… God knows the whole plan. You don’t. So don’t join the unChristian hate pouring out at the Pope. Please. God bless you

[@archangelliii2536]

@@katharina.magdalena You either didn't read the whole thing or you are obsessed with this Pope. Only God judges the heart...we all know that. BUT, we can certainly judge ACTIONS and quite frankly his actions speak much louder than his words! All I said is based exclusively on what Bergoglio has done as Pope my friend, nothing more, nothing less. His record speaks for itself. From the PachaMama debacle/heresy to him getting rid or ignoring of good sheperds like Cardinal Raymond Burke, or Fr. Frank Pavone or Bishop Fernandez of Arecibo, PR for opposing Pope Francis mandate on the demonic vaccine, etc. while at the same time embracing and supporting disciples of Satan like Pelosi or biden(and condoning giving SACRILEGEOUSLY the Holy Communion to them or other abortion supporters!) or "father" James Martin with his publicly scandalous heretic and evil promotion of sodomy and naming pedophiles and pro-sodomy and abortion people and clergy to high office at the Vatican, etc., etc. The list goes on and on. I also pray for him. I pray for his conversion and his removal from the Papacy for the sake of the Bride of Christ. The Lord called us to be mild as the Dove BUT cunning as a serpent...it's time to be like SNAKES my friend! Your blindness is not healthy for your soul or the Church. WAKE UP!

[@archangelliii2536]

By the way, I NEVER said he is not the Pope either! You erroneously JUDGE my comment as "hatred" then...will be praying for you too but you need to fix it since you are MIS Judging me and THAT is the kind of Judgement that Jesus actually prohibited, not the righteous one!

[@katharina.magdalena]

@@archangelliii2536i recommend you to read my comment again and tell me, where I said you said the Pope is not the Pope. As well, as I only said do not join the hatred spreading Catholics and not, that you spread hatred. I just pointed out that you judge the Pope - cause you do 🤷🏻‍♀️ Really, read my comment again. But maybe when you calm down. Why I say it? The capital letters and exclamations are usually a sign for shouting out loud aka anger. I’m a weak human, just as you are and I have days when I react to some comments the way you do now. Not that extremely but yet. This happens usually, when I pray less. But this is my personal discernment about myself. Just an idea for you to try to contemplate why my peaceful comment stirs your emotions. You can ask the Holy Ghost for help.

The first time I heard Scott Hahn almost a year ago.... I realized what I had been missing in my Christian life. I listened to Scott debate a Protestant and wow.... I agreed with everything Scott said. I was like " why haven't I ever heard this before in my christian life" I owe it to Scott Hahn , Brant Pitre and Chrisopher West for bringing me the word of truth and for showing me my body was to worship the Lord. I'm probably not making any sense ( Christopher West would probably understand me lol) I'm grateful to my son and daughter in law for bringing it up in conversation one evening at home that sent me into a frantic freak out mode... that I was losing my son... to who knows what. I couldn't sleep after that conversation and listened and listened and listened and with 24-48 hours I knew I had to become Catholic. It's all in the Eucharist ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you again. Thank you Lord for waiting for me. I love you so much. Now I pray and pray for the rest of my family.

I went to speak to Scott afterwards and told him that I would love to go to study in Steubenville. He said that I should do it. I was 31. Teaching. Had my own house. But by the Grace of God, 3 weeks later I was sitting in my first class in Steubenville. Scott Hahn was the lecturer in my first ever class there. I lived around the corner from Scott and Kimberley. I loved my year there. I learnt so much and it was so great to be steeped in Catholic culture. Thank God for that opportunity.

It should never feel as if we are done. it is a lifelong journey. Thank you Dr. Hahn for your books. They have opened so much to my understanding of our faith.

Dr Hahn talking about moving to “the armpit” and how wonderful the catholic community is there and me realizing that we did the same.

Forgiving one’s parent was discussed in this interview. I’m in my late 60s. I spent almost my entire life trying to come to a place where I could forgive my parents. I have a brother who’s in his mid-70s and a sister also in that age range. My sister has come close to forgiving my parents, but my brother still struggles with it. I turned the lens of compassion on my parents a long time ago. My father passed over 30 years ago, and my mother passed more than 10 years ago. They suffered from PTSD. They were born and lived in a time when there was a little understanding of what trauma did to people. As a result, they were not able to understand that they needed to restrain their behavior. They traumatized each and everyone of their children; of which there were six. Each of them has walked through this life with some sort of baggage. I don’t think the individual can come to a place where they can force themselves to truly forgive. This act of forgiveness took me almost until the age I am now. I agree that through prayer and loving Christ, while trying to understand that his teaching brings one to a place where forgiveness is possible. This is true forgiveness however. It’s not intellectual. This is where, when one recalls the things that happened to them, they no longer relive the suffering. For me, if I think about them and various history, which I do from time to time, it’s more as if the things that happened to me actually happened to someone else. I’m not in denial. I’ve just moved on. I think I’ve experienced enough healing in my own life that I can now attend to other things. It’s a freeing thing as people have often spoken of, about forgiveness. But it’s freeing in this respect, one is now free to no longer be dogged by the trauma they endured years before, and they are free to live their lives as each day comes.

There are many paths, not just one path. Solidarity in Christ is presupposed. However, he condemns “nostalgia”, mentioning “the fifties” and pre-Vatican II. It is not nostalgic to look back to a time of full convents, full and affordable schools, many vocations, enthusiastic church attendance, and many other markers of success. Much of that is now gone. And we shouldn’t examine why because it’s too “nostalgic”? That is a recipe for repeating mistakes and failing to accumulate wisdom based on lessons learned.

I know how you feel, it's really hard to see the Church talk so much about the beauty and merits of the sacrament of marriage (and the family) and yet be unable to experience it. Especially hard if one has had difficult and/or traumatic experiences involving relationships. I really wish the Church did more to bring young Catholic men and women together. Even more so considering the toxicity in modern culture and the far reaching negative impacts of social media/the internet. Today it's hard enough to meet anyone period, let alone someone that shares the same values and faith. I also feel like some parishes don't do enough to foster a real community which ends up driving a lot of younger people away, since none of their friends (if they even have any) are Catholic. Finding friends as a Catholic is particularly (and uniquely) hard in the first place because a great many people (including most Christians from other denominations) think you're either nuts, an uninteresting and boring loser, a hateful and judgemental hypocrite, or an idolater practicing a demonic and paganized perversion of "true Christianity(tm)".

KZbin needs an option where we can "Like" a video repeatedly! Thank you for this beautiful and faithful conversation. Pax!

[@jessmddn]

Man, what a gift this man is. What will we ever do without him!?

[@joenield9719]

Honestly, this was probably one of the best overall interviews Matt has done. As a young man aspiring to be a father, I am so grateful for this one. Thank you!

[@Sodablood]

I love RC Sproul, I learned so much from him and Gerstner’s videos. They gave me a foundation in theology that allowed me to even consider Catholicism in the first place.

[@Chudmander]

I love that buddy. Are you in the church or in RCIA?

[@smorey]

Me too 👍

[@Sodablood]

@@Chudmander I’ve been attending Mass regularly, I’m not in RCIA but joining very soon.

[@maryjordan4129]

The Catholic Church offers the fullness of the faith and salvation through the Sacraments and OBEDIENCE to Her teachings. The curiosity of how the early church worshipped and what early church fathers believed and why, has strengthened my faith in the Catholic Church, the Bride of Christ! ✝️❤️

[@akc783]

Unfortunately this conversation has the negative trait of most deep Catholic conversations. It completely ignores us single Catholics who are not married (have no kids either). Everything is always focused on marriage to the point of excluding those of us who do not get to experience it. It’s never in history been harder to date while sticking to Catholic values, but don’t expect the Catholic public figures to do anything to include those of us who are in that boat. It gets very hurtful after a while.

[@iggyantioch]

I agree 💯 it's so challenging out in the world. Stay strong 💪

[@susans2991]

I’m there with you. I look at families with longing but it’s too late for me. However, I doubt I would be this devoted to the church. I was a wild young adult and may not have raised a holy family. We all have a purpose and I trust God to point me in the right direction. That is all the encouragement I need, not from anyone else.

[@waseemhermiz7565]

I'm with you, friend. I am trusting in the LORD although my wife and I cannot conceive after 17 years of marriage. It's a struggle to watch literally all of our family raise children and some even getting divorces, unfortunately. My wife and I are very much in love and it hurts, honestly. Still, with all this being said, GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! Stay strong in the LORD, brethren.

[@dianethomas9384]

Try considering those who may have a lesser faith since it will grow if planted in the right garden, but who are kind hardworking, regardless of their avocation, and have a sense of humor. Then be the person you want them to be. God will provide

[@dianethomas9384]

Please consider adoption, God may have meant you to to give your love to children you have not physically borne. Love is love when it comes to kids. My moms favorite sister was the adopted one.

[@josh39684]

Scott Hahn conversion story is so inspiring. Protestant considering catholicism. Currently living with my anti Catholic parents house and thus they attend (me with them) a very anti Catholic church.

[@IlluminosaImmortalis]

It's so hard without the support of family. It almost feels like betrayal to your family and community. I've been there! It was a long road. Sending encouragement.

[@josh39684]

​@@IlluminosaImmortalis thanks for the encouragement. It's been rough. Last week the pastor had a sermon and half of it he was bashing Catholics. Since the Protestant reformation is coming up that's why. Barely can keep it together. The rosery gives me peace

[@Psalm51.]

Come Home! ❤

[@ornange]

It must be so hard... but just continue to seek the truth and God will strengthen you for that path! God Bless!!!

[@josh39684]

@@ornange thanks. Currently my mom did start reading early Christian writings. She just reading the early Christian writings. Just started so we'll see. Currently writing a paper comparing Catholicism, Protestantism, orthodoxy and each connection to the early church and heretical teachings. I already know where it's going to lead. More for my anti Catholic parents. I love them with all my heart which makes it even harder. Hopefully this will open their eyes

[@juanfernandezdecastro3718]

Thank you Dr. Hahn. An entire generation, perhaps two, thank you. Your love of God and scripture has changed the Church for the better.

[@PLA5207]

Brilliant: "We are in exile. We're not home yet." Indeed.

[@ck4429]

Scott Hahn: "Cable news/podcasts/other things want us to be concerned to the point of being consumed because then we become consumers. They bank on our appetite for more negativity." Thank you Dr. Hahn! Am I the only one who imagines God's voice to sound like Scott's? Everything I heard from him and read by him is an invitation to encounter Christ which the great teachers have always said is the first step of evangelism. And Matt, you are such a gem. During your interviews, you genuinely are interested in your guests. You guide the conversation just enough then humbly let your guest speak. This was the loveliest 2 hours on youtube I've seen in a long time. God bless you both!

[@aWitness33]

I love the smell and feel of a real book.

Love what appears to be a cross on the mic.

[@ivorybow]

About waiting....Waiting is not something we have a choice about. I prayed for my family to re-unite for 18 years. Meanwhile I am getting quite old, and decided that God said, for His own ineffable reasons, "no." But it turned out to be, "Not yet." This last Christmas, as only the brilliance of the Holy Spirit can work, my family was reunited in love, forgiveness, great joy, gratitude, and happiness. It could only have happened now, not when I began petitioning him those 18 years ago. I learned finally, be patient, faithful, and steadfast in prayer, to be able to submit to His perfect timing.

[@michaelaschorr413]

I AM LISTENING TO YOUR INCREDIBLE WISDOM AND THE PEACE THAT COMES THROUGH. FAMILY and All You say...It points out to me as a New Convert at Church... the Families are so nice to watch !! Now I would LOVE to know HOW can a Single Catholic have such Life ? I think I need to FIND THAT FOR me and for all. Please understand I LOVE BEING A SINGLE, CELEBATE LIFE AND I WANT TO CLEARLY LIVE CHRIST'S LIFE, HE WANTS FOR me. THANK YOU !!! A NEW WAY OF CHRIST 😇🙏💙🙏💛🙏💖🙏

[@SAD-ij8in]

Year of jubilee...how beautiful to know you are loved.

[@monikababu6088]

Thank you Matt for having Dr Hahn and yourself explain so many things. It was helpful and speaking of gratefulness today I am also grateful for listening to you both, thank you for your consideration of all people who day by day live the experience of the consequence of the ambiguities and misguidance pouring in buckets from Rome, please pray for RC school's students occasionally - much needed.

[@karolsmigowski9649]

Love both of you. May the Lord bless your ministries!

[@Ladyoffidelity14]

I love the day of Jubilee thing for parents. That's such a awesome idea 🤣💖

[@wengransusa4232]

I’m working outside in my yard with my bluetooth listening to him, his conversion, etc., here I’m not tired pulling weeds. I’m listening to Steve Ray, too.

[@EdithCasines]

Dear Dr. Hahn, I am not a real person. My mother told me that when I was a baby I had meningitis and did this something to my brain. I could never learn I had a hard time learning in school specially, at the time they weren't aware of people having ADHD I suffered so much because of this, and even though I went through all that I still manage to have a normal life I did the best I could I had a beautiful wedding. I was very much in love when I got married.! but the only problem in my head was the learning disability! Everything for me was very hard, even when I was learning to drive the teacher was nasty with me because I had a hard time understanding! So this is what I went through all my life people belittle me teachers treating me nasty! And after the virus, I was all alone completely! I divorce my husband because he was a womanizer! Then I met somebody who wanted to marry me! But instead he used me I love you with me! So I'm here alone again! My daughters didn't talk to me! Because survive different opinion! And now I am overwhelmed! I cannot get out of bed! I need help please help me! Thank you😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@EdithCasines]

That is an error! I do not type I speak! And then the words don't come out, correct! I am a real person! Suffering so much😢😢😢😢😢 help me please

[@PattiS3]

I'm so sorry for all you've endured. I will pray a Rosary for you today. Please stay close to Our Lady. If your local priest cannot steer you to counseling resources, call your Bishop's office. Where I live we have several retired or independent priests, and some monks and hermits, that can be great spiritual directors. Maybe your area is the same. Stay hopeful!

[@christinewallace9251]

🙏🙏

[@louisepacheco5390]

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. Sadly many people struggle including myself. All I know is you can NEVER give up and try to realize that dwelling on the past is Satan trying to take you down. Don’t fall for it. Pray pray pray for God’help and take one day at a time.

[@catherinemcdavid1533]

I love Scott Hahn. He brings it all together.

[@jothompson1903]

[@RevelwithaCause]

While a college student at Moint Saint Mary's back in the 90s, many of mybfriends went to Conferences at Steubenville. To this day, I never went there. Dr. Hahn is Awesome as a leader and worker in the Church, bit as someone who has come to love the TLM... Does Dr. Hahn really think the Novus Ordo can hold a candle to the Mass of rhe Ages?

[@thomasjsheridan1532]

Dr. Scott Hahn is really Dr. Spot-On. Appreciate this interview and loved his audio talks.

[@davidmcpike8359]

excellent gracious response from Fradd at 56 minutes after Hahn gets carried away with abstract blather ("there's one Church, there's one Church" - yeah, there is, dogmatically speaking; so what?) at 56 minutes. Hahn certainly does love to talk!

[@1romancatholic]

He is there to talk though.

41:36. Thank you Dr Hahn and PWA for mentioning Ohio Issue 1. We must vote NO. Also, many people are unaware that Issue 2 will be destructive to our family life, decrease safety at work and increase child poisonings. Recreational Weed is terrible for the community. Vote No-Issue 2. Double No in November.

[@MonicaLillis]

I clicked on for five mins. I'm 1 hr 10 mins in ! It's like a stream of consciousness. ❤ Matt, you need to break your record of 5 hrs ? of a podcast, with Scott Hahn onboard. Please... P.S. you look very svelte Matt !

[@catkat740]

I agree. I would much rather watch an interview with Scott Hahn for 5 hours than watch someone eating pizza or puffing a cigar (no offense to those guys 😂).
