The Final Confrontation Between the Church and The Anti-Church w/ Ralph Martin

[@michaelliverani9440]

I think I can honestly say, having read "The Church in Crisis", that the problem was --- me ---. By my lukewarmness, lack of prayer, half-hearted following the gospel and my sin, that I was one of the folks who let the stopper out of the tub and allowed the graces of God to drain. I am thankful, EXTREMELY thankful, for God's Mercy on me, a sinner. I am that tax collector in the parable. I am the woman caught in adultery. I am the son who said yes to his father but didn't go out into the vineyard to work. All I can now do is ask God for His Mercy and live in His Will for however much time He grants me. Thank you Dr. Martin for your book...it was an eye-opener.

[@Braingrandchild]

The laity and our private devotions I am sure in my heart will carry the Church through these dark times. We must never let go.

[@ARobichaud]

That was me 8 months ago too. The humility I experienced in the confessional and proper reception of the Eucharist and receiving those graces was enormous. Pride infected my life for so long. The sins I’ve been able to overcome and abandon with such ease really comes from this fuller conversion to Lord. God is so good! Research doing a general confession.

Just listened to this today...Love , love, love the idea of having petitions for courageous acts by priest & bishops but even a step further in getting it to Rome. Also I would love a discussion by a priest on why parents can't support and attend our child's SS marriage.

[@melissapatino4218]

​@@ARobichaudI returned to the faith after 22 yrs and attended a retreat that began my journey back. When I realized there that God was my love story all along and placed on my heart to follow Him, I knew I wanted to receive Him in the Holy Eucharist again. Unknowing that I was doing a general confession, I purged all my sins of 22 years. His love, mercy, and patience to forgive me and allow me to return to Him like the lost sheep and prodigal son showed me how great His love is as undeserving as I was. I humbly rise each day through his abundant graces to love Him, reverence Him, and serve Him all the days of my life. 🙏🕊️ All Glory to God.

[@ghostofauntjemima816]

Ralph Martin is such a gift to the Church, thanks Matt for having him on!

[@TubeFuzzyCheese]

I grew up evangelical protestant. ( low Church protestant) I absolutely love this conversation. It was of refreshing to hear the same sprite of evangelicalism I see in the faithful Christians growing up. I loved the foundation of Jesus as lord expressed in this conversation. If I heard more conversations like this, I might have have converted to Catholicism already. I love Catholics and defend them quite often from my protestant brothers and sisters, but what keeps me away is that even though I love the history, the history and traditions are not whats prime, but the gospel of Jesus Christ. ( not saying history and tradition should be throw out) Jesus's proclamations of the end times should the fire under the feet of all Christians. Thank the Lord for Bishop Baron, Dr. Ralph Martin and Matt Fradd for showing us all the evangelical side of Catholicism. I see a lack of gospel declaration from other Christians in my daily life and I have also have been embarrassed by the Gospel. So lets pray we all summit to the Lord and tell the whole world what is to come boldly out of love!

[@llla_german_ewoklll6413]

I think the issue you have is on the magisterium. What made me comfortable with remaining catholic is seeing it like how the mosaic covenant church was organized. God passed on authority to Joshua, and he passed on power to others (e.i. the laying on of hands). God also gave Moses an oral Torah, which was just as authoritative as the written Torah. Remember that authority and oral tradition does not go over scripture, but simply goes hand in hand. I also would just tend to believe the historic christians when they witness their faith to me. They are better interpreters of scripture than me by far. God bless!

[@TubeFuzzyCheese]

@@llla_german_ewoklll6413 I agree with your appeal to authority, but i would add all that authority should in serves of what: The gospel message that saves. I wish I heard more christian confess the gospel among non-believers with as much joy as these catholic evangelists here do.

Seeing how moved Ralph was by remembering finding his love of Jesus made my ❤ swell! He is my big brother in Christ. I love following Ralph, he is a true soldier of Christ❤

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

I love trying to follow the foot steps of Jesus. I believe that if the Priests, the Popes, the Ministers, and the believers of Christ would teach as Jesus did when he taught his lessons of love, and how to behave truly humanely toward each other including our enemies the world would be a beautiful place. Too many who claim to be Christian do not really follow the lessons of Jesus. Too many "believers" behaviors actually turn many people away from God. Jesus did not set up churches not even the Catholic Church.... these are man made structures and organizations. My understanding is that the believers and followers of Christ is the Church. Just think about this .... some of the darkest, cruelest, actions that have been committed against humanity has been done by the fake believers of Christ. Thank God that their are some Catholics courageous enough to use KZbin to teach Christianity. The Catholic Church is not alone in this endeavor. There are many people being others to God. Even someone like Jordan Peterson - through his teachings has given people the spark the learn more about Christianity and God/Christ. The lessons can be every where and some times come unexpectedly.

[@BadmamajamaC]

Matt, I was dying laughing when you were describing how the family rosary could go down, “pick up the bloody rosary.. are you saying it?”.. Our family also may cuddle or recline during the rosary and I’m seriously at peace with that!

[@jamesflynn4741]

Mr. Martin nails it with his answer to Matt’s question what are Catholic laypeople to do in a time of unfaithful clergy: take responsibility for knowing the Faith yourself. The Lord has given us the tools, including the Internet (that double edged sword), to find the answers that past Popes and Cathechisms have always taught with dogmatic clarity, easier than ever before.

[@kellibuzzard]

Yes!

[@oliverclark5604]

James Flynn, as joined in a consecrated male female marriage vowed to God followed on the death of my wife by a consecrated celibate marriage vowed to man in Christ, what I am and what I do is to keep or allow in uncertainty of my belief on the reference point of my previous consecrated male female marriage, and that marriage on the reference point of the two marriages of Mary, one celibate and one male female with St Joseph, the inseparability and qualitative equality of my identity "am" as a family member and my role "do" as a helper of my family and other families. For me there are no "Catholic laypeople" only these helpers of families. For me there is no "faith" separate from and not qualitatively equal with thinking as in uncertainty belief in the keeping or allowing of this inseparability and qualitative equality. For me grooming by diseased family member 'familyists' of psychologically and or emotionally vulnerable family members purporting presuming an occult as hidden, incest connected as substitute mate non-economic status distinction of (a) layfaithful and clergy, (b) consecrated celibate marriage as a higher vocation than consecrated male female marriage is for economic advantage of the families of these groomers by tax-exemption embezzlement and lower insurance cost by fraud.

[@oliverclark5604]

continued to James Flynn, once an international economic order was established after WW1 by the Bretton Wood "gold standard" US dollar tied to gold agreement in 1944, it was for the first time possible to measure the relationship between population growth and food supplies growth in the developing countries finding "just about paripassu rate of growth". Using a non-economic status inducement for economic advantage on a religious "faith" pretext had had its day but took until 10 June 2021 or just after for Pope Francis to administer the 'last rites' by his simultaneous authorisations in the Vatican state Cardinal Becciu + 9 and Italian state "Zan" bill cases.

Minute 41... It's been one year since my weight loss surgery. I had to take physical, earthly steps to give my heart and mind boundaries and more time to strengthen my spiritual muscles enough to stop the sin of gluttony. It was extreme, but I was sooo tired of being a slave to a sin of mine that was this thorn in my side. When I broached the topic of surgery with my husband, I brought up the verses about the right arm needing cut off if it's causing one to sin and said, "Do ya think that can include the stomach?" LOL! I'm so thankful to be free from that sin and so thankful God gave doctors the knowledge of how to help in this area... I needed extreme and He answered my prayers. I struggle with other sin still, but this past year has been a year of growth (the right kind) and I'm celebrating the heart freedom that a physical restriction helped facilitate.

We are not literally supposed to cut off an arm. It's against Catholic teaching to mutilate the body, mutilate or destroy or remove a healthy organ that is doing its job. (Bariatric surgery is life-threatening and drastically reduces a person's ability to enter fully into social life. I hope it works out for you, but you may have actually shortened your life....)

I was trying to explain the darkness I was struggling with to my priest. I know part of it was my medication. But, it was also like something uninvited came along with it. I know what it takes to get through these dips in my health. But, I was feeling this time was different. I was struggling to pray or do anything. That days sermon was about the importance of confidence in Christ. And, i realized that I had lost sight of that confidence in His every word. As soon as he said it, every thing changed. I was no longer depressed, anxious or angry. Without that confidence my prayers of surrender, trust, love, etc were just words. With confidence in Christ, they are truth and reality.

One problem is that I know without a doubt that there's a battle within the Catholic Church that's causing much confusion, no leadership, absolute chaos which I call the pre Armageddon. The deception which is in plain sight pains me greatly. At times, I feel I'm going insane listening to different teachings therefore, the bottom line is I love My Beloved Jesus and I refer to Holy Scripture for guidance= my safety space.

I have no issue bringing something up in confession or realizing that I'm a sinner, I just have a hard time knowing what exactly is sin that I need to confess.

There are lots of examinations of conscience available that can help you to know

[@PimpMyDitchWitch]

From your scrupulous conscience: Well just know that that sock drawer you closed “too lazily” is actually not nothing, but rather the mortal sin of sloth; and right after confession? Might as well add presumption to the list, and you probably gave scandal to your cat all the while. Wow, three mortal sins in two seconds, you will surely be damned! That’s before we get to the fact that you thought the girl in front of you at mass was pretty, you lusted you terrible man, get back to confession! We didn’t even get to your sinful scrupulosity yet.

[@jtat7122]

I think you might want to have a Spiritual Director. Sins are things that keep you away from God. The more you love God the more you want to be close (and become one) with God. For many people, even "good things" like "working so hard", "missing chance to worship/love God",... are considered "sins" to them. Recognize our "sins" is just a way to be humble to admit that we need God, need grace to love and be close to Him.

The good news is the devil has overplayed his hand. It has become so obvious I can't deny it. Every vexation plaguing my life is rooted in sin. I am so grateful the scales are dropping from my eyes, I am able to make a honest choice. I prayed for this to happen, and I was suddenly led to discussions like these. Amazing. Beautiful.

The comments about sin are so right! My sin habits may be influenced by external factors and maybe the evil done to me by others.

You know, I never until now really caught how profound Jesus' statements about cutting off hands and plucking out eyes really are. The obvious and practical thing we can do to change our habits is most often the very thing we refuse to consider actually doing. For me, porn had a grip on me. I was cheep and never considered spending money on software to monitor or block that content. Finally, I realized that I was begging God to take away the temptation but not willing to do the practical thing. I finally bought Covenant Eyes, confessed my struggle to my wife who was very gracious and agreed to be my accountability. Trust me, I'm not looking up porn knowing my wife will see it!

As Ralph Martin was praying for surrender, I was reminded of the Surrender Novena that helps me daily to leave everything in God's hands, and to allow His Will be done, not my will. ❤️‍🔥The Discerning Hearts channel here on KZbin has a wonderful Novena that you can do first thing in the morning.

This is one of my favorites- thank you for this interview

[@HalchVrLong]

Another excellent show, Matt

[@joejohnston3]

Such a wonderful interview! Thank you.

[@bmaziarz]

Matt, I’m really glad to hear how chaotic your family rosaries are. With a 3 year old and a one year old ours usually consist of getting in a single scatterbrained decade with our 1 year old sitting in our laps doing barrel rolls while our 3 year old son runs around the living room shouting made up words with his toy cowboy and occasionally reciting 3 word phrases to finish the lines of random Hail Marys 😂

[@joejohnston3]

Ha! I see that someone else has rosaries like ours. Nice to know.

[@chase6579]

My 4 year old will be yelling "hey daddy come here!!!"😂😂😂

[@lcostantino7931]

I can just imagine God smiling down on you.....

[@yanayoriginals8498]

My daughter, as a toddler speaks fluently; and, as she joined her grandparents pray the rosary, she replied with, “Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.” 😅 It is a good practice to include the children in reciting the rosary.

[@njtom105]

It would be good if Ralph Martin would come on PWA around the bew year time. Always an inspiration to start personal prayer again.

[@josephricciardi601]

I’m so grateful to have found this show, and this episode. Thanks Matt. God bless you

If you want to stop drinking and completely lose even the thought of having a drink forever, put it on Jesus. There is nothing wrong with programs, but pray for the need or the smallest desire to go away, and it will.

[@rlb3524]

Excellent dialogue God Bless

I love the remark that he was desperate for the truth- & God is truth🙌🏻

I am struggling to attend Mass at present. I had a "light" experience with Jesus Christ in my young adulthood,and I converted to Catholicism, so having struggles now feels so bad. What is happening in Rome is a twisting of language and it feels so wrong. The church has always been inclusive, so saying we need to become inclusive is a lie. What Jesus said is not negotiable. It cannot be " contextualized" as Fernandez says. Homosexuals and everyone else have always been welcome, but a person of faith has to accept the words of Jesus regarding the particular kind of love that exists in the Sacrament of Marriage. He may feel excluded by the church's teaching, but that is his problem, not the problem of the church. Avoiding active forms of sexuality that go against the human dignity given to us by God applies to everyone. This discussion has really helped me regain focus.

[@margiebaxter-kh9lb]

I remember years back when Pope Benedict said that the Church might have to become a very small church of only the most devoted, only then to grow much stronger and larger as it happened in past history.

[@yolijohns5885]

I can relate to so much mentioned. Thank God for the community of faith.

[@MirKat1523]
