I am a woman who lived as a man for ten years. I am now back on the right track and in RCIA. I was just saying how I wish that in that ten years someone, anyone would have had the kindness to tell me that God loved me as he made me. Instead everyone just went along with it. I e-mailed Bishop Stowe and told him that what he is doing is not a kindness.

I just watched Matt's interview with Chloe Cole. I'm going to your channel now. I used to work at Seattle Children's and we were starting to do top surgeries on kids. I'm a surgical tech and assist directly the surgeons. I had to refuse to do a case of a mastectomy on a 16 year old girl to "affirm" her transition. We met the folks running the "gender clinic". They are ruthless in their endeavors I can attest. They use emotionally charged tactics to convince the staff to go along with these various "treatments" Its horrific. I pray for the children suffering from these identity issues and pray we, as adults, parents, Healthcare providers will stop this madness. God bless you and I'm so happy you found you're way out!

I was a man living as a woman. I thankfully never had surgery but I was on cross sex hormones for years. I thank God every day that he brought me out of that an on Easter this year I was welcomed into the Catholic Church and persue apologetics. I have only ever found true love and acceptance in Jesus Christ’s church once I began to love and accept the person God created me to be. I am NOT a mistake and anybody who believes they are supposed to be trans need to realize this fact as well. When you were conceived, your biological sex was NOT a mistake nor was it something God wanted you to discover for your own. You are the sex you were born for a REASON.

If you analyse the No longer trending term "dead name", you will see their is an implicit self sacrifice and rebirth, a mockery that hides the absolute mental anguish she has gone thru, leading to the extreme fake solution euphoria before the final crash of despair , it is self harm by proxy, increasing the likelihood of mortal self cancellation, why would we enable this, either to go along to get along or to fatally pander to a vulnerable soul?

I live on the edge of a neighboring diocese to the diocese of Lexington, the closest parish is in the diocese of Lexington. In preparing to serve at this parish with the bishop my son was instructed not to genuflect because lady named Karen found it too distracting. We were also told Karen was allergic to perfume so no incense would be allowed. I asked when I could meet this wonderful woman and was informed she wouldn't actually be at the mass. We now drive an hour to our local Latin mass in our own diocese where my son enjoys serving every Sunday. Silver lining I suppose.

This is one of those rare cases where if this person never said anything, no one would have noticed. When I first saw news about this and saw the picture, I thought it was some stock photo of a hermit and not Matson. Then reading and realizing that the picture was of Matson I was shocked at how “well” transitioned this person was. If the whole point was to live like a man without anyone knowing the difference, then this person could have accomplished that easily. But instead, Matson had to go and say basically “It’s not enough that I get treated as a man, but you must know that I’m not really a man, but am a trans-man, so now I’ll never be treated as just a regular man…” Doesn’t make it right or truthful, but no one would have known any differently had nothing been said.

She had to expose her true identity, because this is the first step to allowing women to be priests. First it is a woman,who says she is a man, becoming a brother. Then more trans-men will insist on the same right. Next it will be a trans-man entering seminary, then it will be trans-men being ordained and bingo, we will have women priests.

[@Blissblizzard]

Actually she now resides permanently in "uncanny valley", she has small features, even for a female, a sparse stubble beard and carries her weight in a female way. The mannerisms are incredibly female. Another example would be a media darling gender studies professor who is also diminutive, dresses like a dandy, and remains effeminate to the point of veering into camp in her gestures. This sketchy performative masculinity seems to be more of an unhappy, unintergrated, emotional shield than an identity, given that the impact is a very mixed message, theatrical, and the theatrical people she is working with, are equally "modern"(This very attention seeking is an opposite career for a hermit of course!!!) what we experience here is chao, a series of double binds layered into into an "oil and water" unstable order. Demoralisation, deliberate, and yet again. "All the world's a stage and all the men and women players ont. " Wm, Shakespeare

It is very sad that this individual got that far in discerning their vocation in the Church and no one loved "him" enough to teach "him" the truth about "himself", "his" vocation options and importantly the truth about who God created "him" to be.

I didn't do a good job talking to him, I wasn't prepared and didn't know what to say. I'm afraid I don't know how to get in touch with him or what order he associates with. He was in a full habit with wimple, but no beads,hence I gave him mine and talked briefly about Mary, which led to his admission that he regretted transitioning. Anyway, if you could pray for him. We only spoke a few minutes, then he was dragged off somewhere by a group of enthusiasts to an interview or party or something.

They can’t destroy the faith outright, so their first target is truth. If they can make you say something that you don’t believe, they can make you accept anything

[@deluge848]

Who can gut to listen to this diabolical madness!!!

[@JonCrs10]

God save us from just anger becoming unjust hatred, and save us from letting that concern relax our hearts of justice against corruption like this abomination.

[@magn630]

So, the bishop basically said if no one knows about the "quiet" sin being committed, it will not count - or did I hear that wrong? But to be honest, I am thoroughly confused as to what is really going on Mattson, but I am not confused and know that the coverup or acceptance from the clergy is wrong.

[@mariawoodbury9954]

thank you for providing the contact details- and thank you for this interview- I agree- we have to be saints...may God help us to be what we were born to be. Kyrie eleison!

[@staceymcfedries9554]

Thank you for your charitable and honest reactions in this video, and good point from Fr. regarding the faithful who are suffering actual persecution, kidnapping, and martyrdom elsewhere. It seems decadent for the bishop to entertain this person's niche delusion with limited time and resources.

[@myrrhsolace5875]

If Br M is genetically female. Br. M is taking a great deal of testosterone to get that beard growth. Is spending that much on hormone treatments consistent with a vow of poverty?

[@jnkelley42]

Do Catholic hermits have health insurance? Health insurance will typically cover testosterone. I don't approve of it. But it is not the hardest drug to get. When I lived in TN and did not have health insurance it was about $85 for a three month supply.

Can’t understand this one little bit. Is this person a monk who wishes to be known as a nun, or a nun who wants to be addressed as “brother”? If hermits seek solitude, why does this one use FACEBOOK?

[@tortillamilk]

Do you remember when we were young and they would beep out vulgarities on tv? Now we have to beep out the proper sex of an individual. My, how times have changed.

[@kimfleury]

To paraphrase the brilliant quote from _The Princess Bride_ -- "You keep using the word 'hermit.' I do not think that word means what you think it means." Imagine a hermit being fixated on his or her primary and secondary sexual characteristics.

[@teresamarie869]

I saw Fr. Leo speak on this on his show also and am stunned how this person is 1. so convincing as a man and 2. has been allowed to go through various Catholic activities as a "man". I'm saddened.

[@jnkelley42]

Testosterone is a heck of a drug. It lowers the voice, redistributes body fat, and depending on genetics can grow facial hair.

[@PabloVelasco-hr3ko]

[@EC-rd9ys]

I'm surprised a bishop would treat a hermitic lifestyle so flippantly. It's not for the faint of spirit. Living completely alone in solitude brings many temptations.

[@SkyeTerrier2017]

The Matson interview recorded in 2013 on EWTN. The then scrubbed it. But not before it was leaked.

This is so sad… my heart goes out to all those being deceived by a false sense of love and acceptance. God loves you as you were created. You were not an accident; everything He does is intentional and He loves you more than anything. God bless all those in this comment section sharing how they were deceived and led astray for years before realizing their worth and dignity

[@odikoyote8763]

Hi thanks Matt- sorry the qr code (to the bishop) was partly off screen Could you post it again please?

[@marystellarg4121]

I am genuinely confused. I studied with the hermit, we were in the same university chaplaincy and he was always male then, I didn’t know him as anything else, so it is very surprising to me to here that is not the case. I knew he had gone to a monastery and then become a hermit, but the trans thing just baffles me, he hasn’t changed in appearance at all. I write simply because I am confused. Where does it say there was a transition from anything to anything?

[@damnedmadman]

It's bishops like Stowe that should be removed. Not the likes of Strickland!

[@Kb136-hope]

Both cause scandal. There should be correction for them to put their faith that the Holy Spirit has rightly guided the magisterium since the beginning and even U.S bishops must be obedient to that.

[@briankuzel-yr5lo]

Who added the censored "beeps" over some of Fr Jason's words?

[@bobandkelly]

Guessing it's so the algorithm doesn't cancel them

[@AllTheHandlesTaken]

KZbin's terms mandate that you have to call people by their preferred pronouns or your whole channel can get demonetized, or in some cases, closed. The censorship is to abide by the platform rules, as objectionable as they may be.

[@MichaelJosephHamm]

They’re placed by the editor at pints with aquinas to prevent demonetization

[@sleepinglioness5754]

S/he is an actor, an 'artist' and this is 'their' greatest role and longest playing sitcom. The Church has been duped, hoodwinked and the camel is in the tent. "Matson’s application to become a diocesan hermit was “repeatedly rejected” by other bishops in a ten-year search that ultimately found support from Stowe." "... In 2021, Stowe signed a statement shopped around by progressive groups in order to advance the LGBTQ movement among schoolchildren in Catholic institutions such as schools." (The Catholic World Reporter June 1, 2024) But they excommunicated the Archbishop who outed McCarrick.

[@2thirds]

I wanted to give the Bishop a benefit of doubt, and was clinging to believing, that maybe they took that person at their word, and assumed them to be male, who struggles with TS thoughts, and thus wants to be a hermit to run away from temptation or whatnot, looking at the public record of the bishop and this answer, I cannot do that in good faith anymore.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

With bishops like these...

[@jgomez7183]

Jesus is not happy with this. The bishop and the hermit has a lot to answer to God. Pray for them. That they rectify themselves. Their souls are in jeopardy.

[@TheMDelima]

The timing at which the "bishop" and that woman decide to make this public was impeccable. Stowe has been putting up the flags of Sodom at the cathedral in Lexington and making blasphemous images of the crucifix for a long time now. It's unbearable.

[@EllenJohn4]

@Thrsday Could you drop a link to the Journey Home interview?

[@EpoRose1]

Maybe they said it in the video because I’m still watching, but EWTN removed it. I did see that another channel posted it, but I can’t remember the name. Came up in my suggested vids though.

[@hollyvondross9635]

Is Stowe afraid of Francis if he doesn’t embrace this horror. Is he afraid of losing his position. Where are our leaders. What an opportunity to stand up for God. Sin is celebrated these days.

[@paver265]

While I was watching this, there was loud Beeep sound wherever Fr.Jason mentioned gender of the person (for whom will I pray). And it happened numerous times. Is that youtube teaching us that we are not allowed to mention gender, that we are wrong to state obvious like: she=woman, girl he=man, boy. So I will take it on myself to teach back youtube some things. So: she=woman, girl he=man, boy she=woman, girl he=man, boy she=woman, girl he=man, boy she=woman, girl he=man, boy and so on... Let all of us pray for this person, I presume it is correct to say-for her, and for his Excellency bishop, and all in diocese who are involved in this mockery. Dear lady, pretending to be a monk, I love you, and I pray for you. Let our Lord Christ touch you with his infinite love God bless you.

If this poor person leads a prayerful life, with access to a reasonable spiritual director, he will come to reality, and will be led to abandon his delusion and find peace.

Im also concerned for this Bishops own failed representation of the OFV Conventuals. They’re Franciscans who are the same community of St Maximilian Kolbe and I also know of some amazing OFV Conv fathers on the west coast. It’s a shame he’s allowing such sacrilege!

Sorry to say, but he's not just allowing it, he's been perpetrating all this for a while now.

Were you guys told by KZbin to have "Herself" bleeped?

[@jstefencavage]

As Fr Jason says, I am trying to give it to the Lord. I’m devastated a priest in the direct line of the Apostles outdoor say what was in that letter. The only thing that keeps me from screaming is the fact that God the Father will judge this priest in the general Judgement.

The diocese of Lexington has been the leading force in modernism east of the Mississippi since its creation. Although this news is horrible and awful to hear about, it is not in the least bit surprising, given the track record of this diocese. May St. Charles Borromeo intercede for this bishop so that he may repent of his error. Edit: If you happen to live in this diocese I urge you to not give a red cent to your parish until the persons involved change their ways Edit 2: Got the year wrong
