MESSAGE TO ALL RELIGIOUS CLERGY: ____________________________ YOUR MORAL OBLIGATION IS NOT TO THE ELITES /POLITIANS BUT TO YOUR CONGREGATION !! - from a Moral Conscious perspective -

[@rg1whiteywins598]

When it comes to works of charity... It's not about just giving your 20 dollars to a mission or food shelf, but rather also looking for the needs around you and meeting the ones you can. We as a people have been failing in this area. Amassing things for ourselves rather than helping those with real needs. Even asking at your church if anyone is out of work and struggling and maybe helping them to find work or giving them yard work or buying them food or paying a utility bill to help them get through. That's how it was in the first century church, that's how it should be now.

@YAJUN YUAN Every thing seems to be upside down just like in our societies throughout the world today. Read any of the Catholic news. A good way to start is the Lifesite News. There are also many others. Don't watch the leftist Catholic news as they are as FAKE as the news of most TV channels. They are pro-abortion and pro- everything that is wrong with our society today. I'm surprised you don't know. I ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes wide so you may be able to be involved in movements that are trying to help the Church. But do not panic as Jesus is running His Church and in time, he'll make the necessary corrections. Just pray, hope and don't worry as Padre Pio advises us to do. God bless you my brother in Christ.

Golly, Dr. Hahn. Thank you. I can relate to your sense of your Germanic background and your temperament.

We are losing our sense of righteous passion and the attending work and accomplishment ethic. Sad and frightening. It is killing our country.

Of course, my views don't apply to everyone, but as a long-time sinner who has only recently returned to the Church after a very long absence I have learned this much, He is here and waiting for us to wise up. God wants us to come home. He's left the light on. The enemy is out there as well though, but he is a much more demanding master from whom you receive nothing no matter how much you give him. It took me a long time to realize that simple truth. And I deeply regret it.

God is not "making the church go through" anything; wicked and proud men and women, who are NOT doing God's will, are those who are making the church go through things.

Look at how Our Lord makes just about anything. It’s his recipe and it’s his history. When you are with Jesus, than don’t be afraid. He isn’t asleep. He is testing and teaching at the same time. See if you got, what it takes. Crisis because if we are with him, we are going to be okay. But if you aren’t, you will pay some day on your own faults. He isn’t letting or wants us to go through this. We do it to our selves with sin! This is why his name, means Savior. Salvador!! I don’t like Sal, in Spanish it is salt. But which salt. You see good or bad? You would have to say goodsal or badsal. That doesn’t work. Xavier or Savior? Think about it. God has the hole recipe, and it is a secret. Divine Mistry. Like New Yorkers say. “For get about it”. If you are with our Lord, your good. You aren’t, then get with the program!! Don’t cry later, and try to ignore the fact, many people and other signs from God Our Father has tried so many times. Cabeza dura!!! Thank very much Father, and Doctor. You both rock!!!

In this clip, Scott Hahn demonstrates how NOT to interview a guest. The first rule of interviewing is to ask your question concisely, then shut up and let your guest talk. Yet here, Fr. Murray gets less than 40% of the air time; Mr. Hahn takes up the rest with his wordy questions and self-indulgent commentary.

Jesus is certainly waiting for Catholics to wake from the deep apostasy sleep! O Jesus, help us to liberate the mass of the ages and crush those destroying the Church! May our merciful Lord grant us Holy Bishops again, as we make reparation in sorrow for our sins and the sins of the hiearchy! Purify its clergy and members. Protect our good holy priests thru the Immaculate Heart of Mary and pure heart of St. Joseph.

Just remember Christine, Traditionalist Catholicism is often just a weird fusion of ancient heresies masquerading as orthodoxy.

[@christinevivaldoOFS]

@@djspenceital When I speak of Traditional Catholicism, it is the mass of the martyrs and saints, not weird movements. I speak of the mass that Jesus Christ shed His blood. Not the novus ordo of protestanism-masonic Bugninis and Bernardines. Pews are empty, theyve weaked the belief in the Real Presence and attack the sacred priesthood;; all deliberate and money exchanged with wolves dressed in Bishops' vestments! Its real! We must understand the true worship of God, not human fraternity.

@@djspenceital Even the VII council are disobedient to the Pope who did not remove all the things that Bugnini etc have deliberately done. They are in schism actually and ushered in all the liturgical disobedience. Its gross, check out Ireland, Canada how they defile our Holy Church....all the abuses to please the people, not to offend Protestants....

[@djspenceital]

@@christinevivaldoOFS the Traditional Latin Mass isn’t the Mass of Ages. It wouldn’t have even been that recognizable to the Apostles. The Mass has always had different forms in the history of the Church, look at the other liturgical rites for example. Bugnini’s liturgical reform didn’t take place at V2. It took place after. He didn’t disobey the Pope, because it was ultimately up to the Pope to approve the new Order of the Mass, which he did. The Pope is the Bishop of Rome first and foremost. He has authority over the Roman Mass, so long as he’s not removing what is essential to the Mass as instituted by Christ. The new Order of the Mass doesn’t do that. So it can’t be schismatic or heretical. V2 isn’t the reason for the empty pews. There are other cultural factors that contributed to that too. It was a historical process that had already started before V2. The true worship of God includes human fraternity. Otherwise St. Paul would never have said that the entire law is fulfilled when you love your neighbour as yourself (Galatians 5:14). If the true worship of God was just about the order of the Mass over and above human fraternity, then Christ would never have said “I desire mercy and not sacrifice” (Matthew 12:7). We worship God truly when we love God and our neighbour. This is why Traditionalism reduces to the error of the Pharisees.

Greetings from lreland! Thanks to both of you for your erudite counsel! What Scott says about Germany may be the overarching effect of a sorely tempted churchman in the figure of Luther which led to great hatred for the mother church.

I watched the documentary based on your recommendation. Had high hopes. I was born in Germany, a protestant minister, a massive fan of Luther and devoted to protestant reformation teachings. I became Catholic. Confirmed Dec 22, 2020. Luther is a heretic. Is guilty of playing a role in causing so much strife and horror in the last 500 years. Some food for your thought... Below are just a tiny hand full of actual direct quotes from Martin Luther after he became protestant (then ask yourself this question: "What 20th century German dictator and movement, might Luther have inspired?): -“I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews.” -“If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words, ‘I baptize thee in the name of Abraham.'” -“Oh how fond they (Jews) are of the book of Esther, which is so beautifully attuned to their bloodthirsty, vengeful, murderous yearning and hope.” -“The worse a Jew is, the more arrogant he is, solely because he is a Jew.” -“Whenever you see a genuine Jew, you may with a good conscience cross yourself and bluntly say, ‘There goes a devil incarnate.'” -“I advise that their (Jews) houses also be razed and destroyed.” -“I wish and I ask that our rulers who have Jewish subjects. . . act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did in the wilderness, slaying three thousand lest the whole people perish.” Quotes above are taken from Martin Luther’s protestant book, "On the Jews and Their Lies," translated from German to English by Martin H. Bertram. I have only been Catholic a very short time and am utterly stunned at how lukewarm, like used dishwater, so many people, who refer to themselves as Catholic, are. "Tolerance is the virtue of people who do not believe in anything." -G.K. Chesterton Ave Maria Ave Christus Rex Deus Vult❤‍🔥

“All religions teach that we should love one another; that we should seek out our own shortcomings before we presume to condemn the faults of others; that we must not consider ourselves superior to our neighbors.”

[@paulstuart9465]

We each have to choose our path. Everyone must be aware that the majority of people from every background are exposed to temptation. Therefore many if not most can be and are corrupted. There are many who have genuine integrity but others have clearly sold out and do not represent the faith. The faith is greater than any individual. Charlatans need to be removed from the hierarchy. However, the faith will survive whatever attempt they make to undermine it.

The real problem is not having confidence in God. We’ve gone through stormy weather before, particularly with bad Popes. What make this seem worse is the whole world is upside down. It reminds me of the days of Noah. We can’t see the whole picture, but Our Lord knows what He’s doing. Some of this is probably chastisement for immoral behavior, and particularly abortion. Pray,hope, and don’t worry.

[@susankovach8927]

Our job is to turn to God & pray for the Catholic Church. Jesus has said we are not to speak badly of his priests. They are his annointed. He is their judge. He said to pray an Our Father for them instead each time a matter is brought up. And remember "Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone." What is going on was allowed by God. It is all written in the bible. We must go through this. We can't do it without God's help.

Only God knows how it all ends. Like watching a playback of a game on TV. You know the score so nothing the players you're watching can change the result. Their efforts contribute to the result because they don't know the outcome but the final score remains. The Bible tells us that at the end only love of God and rejection of God by people will exist. How we get to such an eventuality only God knows but it must play out somehow. We must stay close to Jesus and Mary so we make the right choices.

[@roypeaslee1305]

You speak of crisis in the Catholic Church today and you have talked with vagueness about this cris but you have failed to name the the problems such as the homosexuality of half the bishops and the pedophilia of many of the clergy. If you feel there is a problem say it and expose it for everyone to see otherwise it will never be solved. Using the biblical event of Jesus calming the waters is not in my opinion defining today's problem in the church.

Some good ideas here, though I often disagree with Fr. Murray regarding Pope Francis. I see no errors or concerns in the theology of Francis, only a bright light for those with eyes to see. At 3:12 Fr. Murray suggests we should tell the Lord to "Calm this storm"; I think an even better response is to say to the Lord "Thank you for accomplishing what you want to do through this storm. May this storm last for as long as you see fit, Lord".

[@joshuacooley1417]

I often hear people talk about God testing us, and "tests of faith". For a long time I have wondered why God needs to test us. In education the word "test" has become synonymous with "assessment". We test students in order to assess how well they have learned, and ultimately to give them a grade. Tests are about passing or failing are they not? I always liked tests in school because I saw them as a chance to prove myself. In life, tests are often painful, and I'm not quite so fond of them. So when we speak about God testing us, and tests of faith, this is the background in which I understood it, and I suspect the same is true for many people. This has bothered me for some time. What is the point of God testing us? Surely the All-Knowing God already knows whether you have learned the lesson or not? Surely he knows the outcome of the test before it ever happens. Doesn't it seem like pointless trial in that case? Especially since many tests are so painful. Looking at it this way, the painful tests we endure in life can seem capricious at best and cruel at worst. Eventually I began to come around to a different point of view. Divine tests are not assessments. They are not about getting a passing grade, nor are they about proving yourself to God. God is not trying to determine how well you've learned, he is giving you the opportunity to become. Tests are about transformation. Tests are moments of becoming. The word test comes from Latin "testum" which means "an earthenware pot" and that in turn derives from "testa" meaning " a burnt piece of clay". The image from which the concept of a test comes, is that of clay being put through intense heat until it becomes pottery. It is in the moment of the test (as extended as that moment may be, out to days, months, years, even a life time) that we actually become. Indeed, without the test, we would not be able to become. The test itself is the catalyst that makes the transformation possible.
