Dear Father, thank you for your opinion very tactfully put. I’ve returned to the faith after a very long time away and there are so many changes,input from faithful priests are so needed for grateful sinners like myself. God bless you father, the Lord never said it would be easy….
I’m not Catholic but I found myself in the weird position of trying to persuade a Cradle Catholic not to make the drastic decision to dump Catholicism because she was so unnerved and her faith was so shaken by what happened in Singapore. The pope isn’t just upsetting some Catholics, he’s destabilising their faith at a time in history when so many people are desperately looking for some unshakeable, unchangeable truth to hang on to.
Come home
You did a good job on a difficult topic Fr. Brendan. Thank you.
Bless you- everything is just so painful. I decided to pray to our Lady. A lot.
I remember this warmth and the crowd so thrilled to see the Pope in Croke Park in 2018 with Patrick Bergen singing in the background, a beautiful evening, a sense of unity. Thank you Father Brendan.
Father, i would take you over the pope everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Christ is King. God bless.
Thank you Fr, Brenda, a very useful contribution to the debate.
When did he transition 🤪
Good job, Fr. Brendan on a very difficult issue. I’m a six day a week Mass attendee. I offer the infinite merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to His Heavenly Father at each Mass for various petitions, but always include Francis. Calvary made present at each consecration. I’m leaving the rest to my most tender Father. Popes come and go, but the Church is here ‘till the end of time. If you believe that just one Mass is more powerful than all the prayers of all mankind of all time, then the best way to help the Pope, any Pope is offering Holy Mass for the current successor of Peter. NEVER even think about leaving the barque of Peter. God bless you Fr. Brendan.
I used to teach in a Catholic HS. I lamented leaving that work but am no glad I did since I am not in a position where I need to be explaining the present teaching coming out of the Holy See. Fr. Brendan, your continual affirmation that Francis is fully Catholic and a loyal son of Church wound up sounding to me like a lot of "whistling past the graveyard."
Thank You for saying this.
Thank you for Brendan, I feel your pain and sadness. I don't want to change the church just Myself as the Lord Jesus Christ taught us and his apostles, I was lapsed Catholic for years, I went on reteat, followed twelve step programme for recovery which I've done since 1990 the God of my understanding was always Jesus in the twelve step programme, I delved in Wayne dyer philosophy,Deepak chopra and they never brought true peace only partial,didnt know my faith of origin and now that Im coming to know have found true peace. I pray for the whole church for clarity and truth from all.🙏
The most insightful and charitable discussion of this issue that I’ve heard so far. That’s why I always look forward to your Thursday talks.
In addition to sowing confusion among the lukewarm and giving false hope to progressive Catholics, these “teachings,” inasmuch as they downgrade the Glory and Lights of our Lord Jesus Christ, likely also give delight to His adversaries.
I could not imagine a better response and thoughts for the situation. God bless!
Thank you for sharing your views with love and courage, so many ways his attempt to show love, encourage discussion, bless you father. Doug / Ottawa / Canada
Thank you or a very balanced approach to a difficult situation. Prayers always.
And the Mass readings today was very clear with Paul's letter to the Corinthians where it states in regards to the Truth of the Gospel; "Believing anything else will not lead to anything"
Thank you Father Brendan for speaking, as I see it, the truth in LOVE
Thank you Fr. Brendan for you inspiring words.
Our Catholic Church is being assisted by the Holy Ghost, given to us by Jesus.
Say fervent prayers to Him that our church is saved from Satanic harm. Amen.
Thanks Fr Brendan, l feel your pain, as regards Pope Francis.
Let's pray for Pope Francis 🙏
Good, as always, to have your comment on this latest... um... conundrum (?)...
I used to get upset, even demoralised by some of the questionable statements coming from this pontificate. Now, after the initial chill, I remember that we have all we need to follow Christ. We have the Mass, the other sacraments, the Bible and the Catechism.
I pray for the pope and the Church, always assured that Christ knows what He is doing. And as Padre Pio said, we are to pray, hope and not worry. The battle has already been won though we have a great many challenges and obstacles to overcome. Like you, I love the pope as the successor of St Peter, but unlike you, I, perhaps, lack the charity to like him. I don't feel the affection or the awe that I felt for precious popes. He is the pope. I respect his position and, as I already said, I pray for him and it's all I can do.
Thank you Father.🌹🙏❤️
Our Holy Father's comments used to bother me, but now, first of all, I avoid listening to the media commentaries which are so disparaging and I hold fast to the Church in terms of the great gift of the Sacraments and doing what I can for the Church and thanking God for my Catholic faith; taking it one step at a time trying to be what Jesus has asked us to be and letting Him take care of His Church as per His promise. We also have the help of our Blessed Mother. As best we can we need to pray for each other including and especially our Holy Father the Pope that we may all be worthy of Heaven. God bless you Fr Brendan. 🙏🙏🙏
Fr. Brendan, in discussing this matter, we have no right to judge the Soul of Pope Francis. That is a matter for the most Holy Trinity at his particular judgement.
Likewise, we shouldn't evaluate the current Pontificate: future Popes will do that.
But we can judge the contents of any speech given by the Holy Father.
As a fluent Italian speaker, I concur with the English translation rendered by the cleric with Pope Francis.
“All religions are paths to God".
Thus spoke the Holy Father in Singapore to a group of young people.
When considering any Theological proposition please bear in mind Gal 1:8 " though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema".
St. Cyprian of Carthage taught:
"Salus extra Ecclesiam non est ".
Saying that all Religions are a path to God is at least material Heresy.
It makes a mockery of the death of all Martyrs. Under
such logic, the Brave Tyburn Martyrs should have realized they could have been saved in Cranmer's new religion.
Christ said in Matt 16:18 " Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my CHURCH, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". N.B.: Christ didn't say my CHURCHES! No diversity of Religion was willed. One Church, one faith etc
Therefore “without a doubt, they will perish forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and inviolate.”
Thus taught Gregory XVI in the encyclical "Mirari Vos", paragraph 13.
If all Religions are a path to God then what was the point of the Crucifixion? And the Institution of the Mass on Maundy Thursday?
The Roman Catholic Church is indefectible. The only way to reconcile this with what the Holy Father said, is to conclude that Material Heresy was committed by him. At least.
The Silence of the Irish Hierarchy on this is deafening. Silence betokens Consent.
Let us pray for the Holy Father and the Irish Bishops.
I am a Singaporean catholic living here in Ireland with my Irish wife and I don't agree with the Pope directives in our faith. Also thank you Fr for sharing how Singapore was formed and how it's ran. Many strong points but also borderline authoritarian to control crime, drugs and minor offences. As said, no country will have the perfect model but that is what works for Singapore. They also don't take in asylum seekers for the very fact that they don't want what's happening in Europe to cause tension with it's citizens in the multi cultural society based on meritocracy. Also corruption and white collar crimes are low due to the big jail time sentences.
Remember arriving at God happens to everyone at death when they receive their judgement this is not the same as arriving at salvation, which can be arrived at in this life through a life of heroic virtue and reception of the sacraments.
Unfortunately Bergolio is very predictable for all the wrong reasons, the mental gymnastics here to some how explain him is olympic level
I have once again tried multiple times to post a comment on this video .. only for it to be deleted .. the question in all of this is how truthful do you want to be on the matters at hand .. as my comments most certainly highlighted much of the malaise of the Church and this pontificate .. God IS Truth ...
That happens to me all the time. And I don't write anything offensive or controversial
Father Brendan , you receive MORE comments than it seems. Rotten " TUBE " deletes people`s comments !!
It’s not the channel. It’s RUclips
Nothing can make me leave my Catholic faith …good to have you back Father …but Francis Pontificate has been very hard for me …from closing the Vatican to unvaxed to stomping out the Latin Mass …I’m 72 years of age and his “creativity “ as you put it truly depresses me rather than uplift and I look to the coming Synod with DREAD !
God bless you father. Pope Francis sows confusion. I am the way the truth and the life, nó one gets to the Father except through me!! May our lord and saviour guide his words because the food is paper now. May our lord and saviour bless us all. 🙏🙏🙏
BTW Brendan; if there's all these paths to God why does Jorge persecute and bully Traditional Catholics and the TLM?
👏 👏 👏
@@marcokite Have to agree. Pope Francis 's treatment of the 'rigid', 'pharsaical' traditional Catholics is very hard to take. I just point this out in charity, better to call him Pope Francis than Bergolio. 🙏🙏🙏
.
The Lord is still on Plan A.
The Lord said not to worry, so l won't. He said Follow Me, so l will. Reason He gave is, because without Him l am nothing & He is correct.
I am smiling thinking the Demon of the Air sure does get around.
Praying for you Fr Brendan as always.
The holy Father makes it very difficult to be a Nationalist economically right wing Catholic Conservative, I'm not aware of all of his statements, but I find it difficult to refrain from excusing his ignorance, all the evidence shows that government is the most inefficient most expensive way to provide anyone with anything, regardless of who is running the government, or where in the world the government is, and all the evidence shows that a deregulated competitive free market always rises to meet demand providing everyone with better and better quality products and services at lower and lower prices, not just some of the evidence or a majority but all of it. It's so hard to understand how people can't look at the evidence, or perhaps won't, I wish our church would take an honest approach to the body politic, without the individual freedom to commit sin there's no moral high ground in remaining free from sin, the same principle applies to the freedom to fail or succeed, the freedom to utter whatever statement you want, right or wrong, but the Pontiff should be above some of the rather left wing statements that a lot of us may find morally objectionable. As for the Islam thing, believe what they've written in their holy books, not the words they utter, because their books give them permission to deceive us until they are enough in numbers to dominate by force. Be wary of the demonic operating through Islam. I really need to study the Christian bible after studying Islam, because it's feeling like I know the enemy better than I know myself.
God bless you Father. We need your help as otherwise it is simple our own limited interpretation. I fear at times that Pope Francis adopted extremes of liberation theology lending to a nigh secular view to the outsider. Pray for the Pope.
Thanks Father for your opinions. I think this is the first podcast in which I disagree with your views!
I have observed and read what has come emanated from the Vatican since 2013 - and everything tells me that Jorge Bergoglio, isn't and probably never was, fit to be a member of the episcopacy.
The mission of the Church is to convert all souls to the One True Holy Appstolic Catholic faith. The saving of souls.
The mission is clear and unambiguous. Convert and save souls.
The popes role is to iterate and reiterate that mission statement at every turn possible. In that regard the job is easy.
The church has defined dogma and doctrine. There is no need or no requirement to deviate or to second guess what has already been debated, agreed, and ratified.
It seems to me that Jorge Bergoglio seeks at every turn to try to second guess, circumvent, change, what has already been ratified as dogma and doctrine.
We had this for 11 years now.
Too much compelling evidence shows me that he should never have been appointed as an officer in the church. Any institution which appoints those who do not support its objectives runs the serious threat of betrayal by those appointed.
God is testing us for sure.
You like him despite the fact he's a heretic? You don't criticise the 'Holy Father' when he preaches heresy? Then shame on you Brendan.
Jorge's 'teaching style' is EXACTLY what he wants it to be. He is as clear as crystal in his anti-Christian teachings. He raises the hopes of heretics because he is one. BTW; Jorge is also utterly self-satisfied. Yes - Jorge runs towards the prodigal but it's an UNREPENTANT prodigal he embraces without any desire to convert.
Wake up Brendan.
It's time for Orthodoxy
☦☦☦☦☦☦☦
Addressing Fr Brendan as “Brendan” shows you need to examine your own respect of the one true faith or …maybe just plain old manners 🤨
Thank you Father for your heartfelt message. Thank you and your team for creating such awesome content every week.
Completely off topic, but in some of your past videos you've commented on books of the saints. Curious if you have any recommendations for where one could start...with so many Saints & books out there.
Pope said to please the Singapore government.
“Pope bashing”, we’re beyond that.
The only folks banging on about this are a handful of youtube commentators. The address would have simply passed by the vast majority of Catholics. The Holy Father’s total consistency in promoting Christ as The Way is well documented over his decades as a bishop cardinal, and pope. Give a very busy elderly leader of over one billion Catholics a break. He needs support, not endless assaults.
Thanks Brendan. I'm most interested in your comments towards the end of the video where you say its an awful place for a priest to be in, and you sort of hate to say anything negative against the Holy Father out of respect, am I correct?
I find this a very very common thread in faithful catholics who don't want to speak bad about the church or Pope even when they KNOW something or someone is wrong. You have in fairness spoke the truth which is commendable.
But for the life of me I cannot understand why people do not see the irony in the atrocious wrongs of the past where many in the church knew of the wrongs but stayed silent for the sake of the church, loyal to the institution but not to Christ. Maybe its extra hard for priests to speak out, having given your life to serve God in the church. Just watching the video and seeing you for want of a better word struggling with trying to be loyal and respectful to the Pope and institution, and yet to be true to the highest calling of all, to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Its the truth that sets us free. We need courageous people to speak up and stand up for the gospel regardless of consequences. We all need to Awake from our slumber! Arise for your sleep, a new day is dawning for all those who weep.
What the Pope said has saddened me so much as i have siblings who believe exactly what the Pope said about all religions leading to God. If they knew he was in agreement with them, they would be delighted.
Thank you. I listen with interest.
On the one hand prudence is required to keep miles from being taken when inches are given. On the other, a fisherman doesn't get much of a catch without casting a wide net. While acknowledging the very real dangers of relativistic interpretation vis-a-vis the former, in this instance I believe his intent was quite plainly the latter.
In a nutshell, I'm not bothered by Our Holy Father's theological imprecision nearly as much as I am by the incessant rush from so many quarters to place his every utterance unto judgment most absolute every time all the time. It's like watching a marathon runner be lambasted for lack of a sprint. Waaaay too many people fancy themselves a Paul to Peter.
Thank you Father Brendan for addressing this the old school way, and God bless you
Fr brendan, can you comment on robert nugent video of 12000 Indian Catholics in knock ?
O I would love to see that 🙏❤️🌹
Father, genuine question. I'm trying to get some family back in to Church and I'm not sure recent declarations by the Holy Father are helping.
The Church is far more than this or any other Pope, it is the Church started by our Lord with Peter as the first Pope. There will be more to benefit you in the Church than some very poor statements by the current person sitting in Peter's seat, be patient.
If the Pope's mission is to bring souls to Christ, then surely we must first discern whether it is his intention or his method that is questionable. Perhaps, to paraphrase Hanlon's Razor, we should not attribute to Judas that which can be adequately explained by Peter.
Question ... why has my comment been deleted from this page .. i have copied and pasted it a number of times for it NOT to appear .. why would that be.. thank you
Your comment has been deleted by Big Brother and 10 credits have been subtracted from your social score!
We do not know. We don’t delete comments from the channel
Check your internet connection. I have found that sometimes an intermittent connection can cause posts to be lost.
Father, I understand your position, as a Catholic priest you are stuck between rock and a hard place. You cannot criticise the pope and cannot question the Christian doctrine either.
But you are far too kind and apologetic. Francis knows very well, what he's doing. This is not his first "error". This man is systematically undermining and hollowing the whole institution from inside.
As a church leader he's supposed to promote Catholic values and act as a spiritual leader and representation of Christ on Earth, bring Salvation to as many people as possible. Especially nowadays when the Catholic church is facing unprecedented decline in the number of believers in Europe and North America. He neglects these duties and instead he lays foundations for one global church in masonic / gnostic sense.
The tactic he is using is called "strategic ambiguity", again, it comes from a marxist toolbox. The key is to confuse and humiliate opponents through use of mildly contradictory and ambiguous statements, which convey a clear message but also offer some degree of deniability or alternative explanation.
Example from recent past: 1. They (💉) are safe and effective. They are the best protection against the disease. 2. You need 2nd, 3rd and 4th booster, otherwise you are not protected. = Implies that they are not effective or offer full protection. But whoever points this contradiction is marked as a conspiracist. And the public is confused, people don't really know what's true and what's not, so they submit to the authorities and believe "the science".
Example: 1.There is no salvation except thorough Jesus Christ. 2. There are many ways to reach God. = although it is technically true, it implies that Jesus really doesn't matter.
Believers are confused.
Catholic church has been here for over 2000 years and unity and consistency is paramount. For that reason Catholic Church has its doctrine and catechism, to clarify and explain the faith. The doctrine CANNOT be changed, it is the bedrock on which the church rests. Pope CAN be changed.
That's my humble non-expert opinion. I am personally very disappointed by the conduct of the Catholic church and I am looking more and more into Holy Orthodoxy.
Maybe now you SHOULD STAND UP FATHER
Fr, you mention robert nugent and he does link your videos to his-
Any chance you can link his video of 12.000 Indian Catholics at knock?
He has me blocked 4 asking that question.
You do not leave Jesus because of Judas. TURN TO JESUS.
Goodness , gasp. You might have been wrong? Is it possible? How can such things be?
And you came right out and admitted it?
Maybe not quite so wise as you maybe thought you were?
Well, goodness.
Very awkward comments and such a downer that it is not attractive. Not the same as the Gospels. Read them. I’m afraid to say more or my comments will also be deleted.
hello Paul .. from my end it shows 1 reply highlighted in blue which was what i tried to post but was taken down .. when you click on that 1 reply in blue it goes no where .. thanks
Hello Paul .. this will be my last comment on the matter .. the original blue reply which is now dead does not show up either .. such duplicity .. it is distasteful .. thank you ..
We don’t delete comments. It’s RUclips
Makes sense. Thank you.
One must speak the truth honestly even if it concerns the pope, if the pope makes a fatal mistake. Humans are not free from mistakes, but there needs to be real corrective action, and not just covering it up with wordplay. Maybe the pope needs to meditate alone at the tomb of St. Peter for at least 40 days. Recall why the tomb of the apostle of Jesus is in Rome, and not in Israel. If St. Peter had stated that all religions lead to the same God, he would certainly not be in that tomb in Rome being executed by the Romans.
Papa Francisco is firstly an Argentinean, a jesuit who communicates mostly in "español" ; spanish. These are important conclusions. He had also slight difficulties in Ireland in 2018. As a spanish speaker he can easily be misinterpreted. Interpretation of language can be enormously difficult. He has been misquoted in the past and he has clarified his thoughts subsequently.
He wasn’t misquoted. A number of people who are fluent in Italian and English have confirmed that the translation was perfect.
Our Pope right or wrong. I don't think so. Keep the Faith as they used to say in the old days
its lukewarm
It doesn't ever seem to be any other way.
No one has the right to judge the Pope . It was deserved , because of falling away from the faith , and becoming worldly and sinful like the Jews . Things will recover , it has woken up people that are lost and need sound doctrine .
Fr Brendan, as a lay person, it’s not as much Francis’s teaching style as much his use of words. The pope must mean what he says, to say otherwise is to insult his intellect?
Heretical statements by Pope Francis doesn't make him a heretic but there are so very many.
Even worse, he hasn't clarified or corrected what was said in Singapore.
And worse again, the statement is clearly what he actually believes which arguably in and of itself makes his position untenable
I recall Bishop Schneider sought and got a clarification on the similar Abu Dhabi controversy where the Will of God became the permissive Will of God.
Heresy by the Pope -Talks From The Chair RUclips Rob Harrell. It is not “Pope bashing” when it clearly violates holy Scripture.
Study ❤Orthodox Christianity
The Pope's throughout the centuries have changed Catholicism
Nicene Creed
Immaculate Conception
Orthodoxy has kept the faith of the early church.
Truly we pray for our catholic brothers and sisters.
The present Pope thinks and says all religions lead to God? This is actually a heretical statement.
There is only one God. All religions do not lead to Christ.
So he's so off track it's scary! Yikes!
You are a good soul. I pray you find the truth with capital T.
Orthodox Christianity is the one true faith.
