I converted from protestant in 2015 because the Catholic church was the last stand for truth. Please Lord keep us safe!
Revelation 2:4
Hang on. It’s going to get bumpy. We need you!!! I’ll pray for you.
Amen
Christ promised that the "gates of hell will not prevail against His church". So pray, hope, and don't worry.
The current pope is no more than a Maoist 'Communitarianist'.
Father Mark, I love your clarity of thought, I can see that the Holy spirit is with you, God bless you 🙏.
Amen!
Amen!!
I agree with you Fr Mark - I pray for you every day - you speak truth - Viva Cristo Rey❤
Viva Cristo Rey !👍💪🙏⛪
You are safe. Know your Faith. No matter what happens the Truth is unchangeable. Do not depart from the Truth.
I am a born-again Catholic due to having a profound conversion 16 years ago. Father's explanation of this paradigm shift in theology resonates with me. Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers. I can testify to the sacredness of marriage and the sanctity of life, having experienced personal divine intervention. Viva Cristo Rey and Ave Maria.
No compromise. No salvation outside the one true church. I’m 46 and I know my faith now. Took me a long time to get there. But proud to be catholic
I'm 72 ...took me some time😂
There is indeed salvation outside of the church. And there is no one true church.
Pope JP 2 when asked if he was going to enter heaven he said "I hope so"
None of us know the destination of our souls. The best we can do is prepare and follow the ten commandments.
But it's only by God's grace alone we can enter the kingdom of heaven.
@@justsomenutAh, “by grace alone.” Have any other easily and readily disproved protestant talking points?
Right on! Amen 🙏
The Catholic Church is over 2000 years old and it’s founder was Jesus Christ! Thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build my church. There are over 36, 000 PROTEST- ANT - religions. The Catholic Church will prevail. Viva Cristo Rey!
Keep preaching the true faith, Fr. Mark.....We need more priests like you...
How can you tell they are genuine mystical prophets
We certainly do!!!
With mystic, prophetic, holy Priests like you, Father Mark...... we KNOW everything is going to work out for the GREATER GLORY OF GOD! Come Lord Jesus!
"If you marry the spirit of the age you will find yourself a widow in the next." - someone smarter than me who happens to be correct.
Jesus came to fisherman…. I have a feeling that he will come to the same kind of people. Wanna know what God is saying… ask Luisa Piccaretta..he spells it out
What a great saying! Thank you.
Fr. Goring I know you are correct in your assessment. Never change.
Oh wow! Ok so I was born and raised Catholic and I strayed away but almost 4 years ago I had an incredible experience with our Blessed Mother and shortly after I started craving more schooling. I was in college years ago- and I've been working in a career in social work but now I'm back and I'm getting my Theology degree! This feels like a calling!! This is amazing Father Mark!! I'm here for it!!!
Your a true shepherd father keep speaking the Truth
I am also a convert, 10 years ago...hungry for the truth the Catholic church was built on. Keep on, Fr Mark, and may the Lord bless those who give us light in the midst of the darkness!
Praise God,
Dear Fr. Mark!👏
We need True Catholic 💒 Teachings to get to Heaven! ✝️
No Compromise!
We Need To Pray Without Ceasing!
Amen!
🙏❤️🙏💙🙏
Thank you Fr Mark. How did we come to have such Godless prelates, caught up in the current culture and new world order? I pray for their conversion.
Because the devil is putting a veil on them so they can’t see.
Because in your seminary, the Devils has watered down the theology.
Because enough people haven't prayed.
@goodman
Theology perhaps " was" watered down, but NOW NEW things are happening.
You are behind the times. God is moving in many new ways. Open your eyes and ears!
@@maristella287 God doesn’t change with the times, He is the Alfa and omega never changing. There is no time for Him . He is.
Dear father raise up holy mystics for this generation and the good of your church. Amen.
Definitely need more Saints as models and teachers for our world today! Thanks Fr Mark
@johnphelan,
What? What are you talking about?
@maristella287 Saints are what replaced minor Pagan God's. I know you do not care cause all Catholics do not care, just like all Muslims do not care about the clear issues of Islam they just keep doing them. Hell is in no way the same in Catholicism as it is in Judiasim. Catholicism is a replacement for Paganism. They used the same churches that were Pagan churches full of Pagan minor God's statues that they replaced with statues of saints.
@@johnphelan8300This is straight up false. There are many miracles performed through the intercession of the saints
Amen ❤️
Our Lady of Victory ❤️
Pray for Us ❤️❤️❤️
Amen, Fr. Mark!
The Prologue of the Gospel of St. John is simply amazing.
Too bad the Novus Ordo Missae removed the recitation of John 1 from the Mass, isn’t it?
When I was a young child, before Vatican II, we prayed St John's prologue at the end of every Mass. It was a good reminder of our beginning.
We still do at the TLM.....@@maryannewillequer3305
You are so right Father,we don’t need Cardinals that paint with their own urine,we need saints that know the very heart of God!!!
@@doverbeachcomber You mean what is known as “the last Gospel”? Luckily, the Latin mass has preserved that. I hear it every time I go to the Low mass
Amen Father Mark. We need the Holy Spirit!!!
I also converted in my 20’s and I am so in love with Lord. I am so encouraged from hearing the lives of the saints especially the ones who didn’t have much education. There is something special about the saints who just wanted to know, love, and serve the Lord. My greatest desire as well. Viva Christo Rey!!❤️🔥
Amen! I believe the front row in Heaven will be filled with the unsung unknown disregarded faithful. What a beautiful sight that will be!
Bless you Father please pray for my Dauther Jade Who is sick in hospital. Thank you .
Dear Father please bless and heal Jade and give wisdom to the medical personnel working with her to restore her health. Amen.
Thank you
May the wounded Hands of Christ, our Healer, rest upon Jade and raise her up whole again, restoring her to health.
@@Julian-bq9qv thank you
I will pray for her. 🙏❤️
Beautifully explained Fr Mark. Also loved your homily about the illumination of conscience. Thank you for speaking the true.
Perfectly said, Fr. Mark. God bless you!🙏🏻❤️
Like St. Thomas Aquinas. If we love God we love His will and seek and follow it.
Hallelujah! Absolute truth!
Nothing less..One thing necessary.....Him🙏Our Savior, Jesus the Lord
I consider it a 'red flag' when I hear a message about Christianity, and not once in the course of the message was the name of Jesus mentioned. What the world needs is teachers who truly love the Lord Jesus, and are faithful to teach according to His Word.
I used to be Catholic jesus pulled me away from this false doctrine where they put Mary & the saints above jesus & now they have the first jesuit pope that wants to change God's word & laws to fit in with today's society one massive red flag, come out of her my people..
His first sentence praised Jesus and for those uninitiated in Latin, so did the second.
@@bernardguynunns5658 I apologize for my comment. When I listened to the video, it manage to skip by the quick intro statement. It is of concern to me, because I see so many 'Christian' videos where God's name is mentioned over and over, yet the name of Christ is never spoken. The name of Jesus is the name above every other name, and I have to question when someone claims to have been saved, but never mentions His name.
Thank you for correcting my comment!
God bless you, Father Mark. We don't listen to people, other religions, signs of time. We listen to what Catholic, the undeniable truth teaches.
Amen! We are with you Father Goring.
After 4 months thru hiking the PCT in 2018, my soul felt so heavy the unction via the Holy Spirit to go become Catholic. This 34 year Protestant obeyed. Keep the candle burning more adult Protesters are come. ❤
We will be guided through the Holy Spirit with love in our heart's. People are looking left and right for the answers instead of looking up to God in the middle. “I have come to bring fire to the earth and how I wish it were blazing already.” (Luke 12:49) 🔥❤️🔥🔥(Luke 12:51) Jesus says “Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided.
Amen, Father Mark!! Keep preaching the Truth!! So thankful that we have holy priests like you!! - Viva Cristo Rey!
As a former Protestant currently in the process of becoming Catholic, this is so refreshing and encouraging to see! May God continue to bless you and pour out is grace in you Father Mark.
As a Catholic i never been so discouraged... you need a red pill.
Amen! Welcome aboard, and hold on tight.
@@tanz5389 I became discouraged, disillusioned and confused as a Protestant. Now things are starting to make more sense to me, especially when I spend time reading Holy scripture. Try reading John chapter 17 my friend. Trust in God, trust in Jesus, trust in the Church Jesus established, block out all negativity and people in the church that want to bring division, and all will be well my friend. May God grant you grace and peace in Christ Jesus. Amen
@@stuartmann5567 I believe in Jesus and I like the Catholic religion, but I don't believe in this pope, and understand that the Church is wrong since 60 years. I am waiting for the restoration prophesied by many. I have no Church, neither under Francis or sedevacantist.
@@stuartmann5567 I will read the chapter. Thx !
Thank you Father that you tell it like it is! The Bible is unfolding right before our eyes in this time. How lucky we are to be chosen to be here for this. Hold tight and keep the faith. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
AMEN AMEN AMEN ❤❤❤ God bless you, Father Mark! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Pope Francis must have been addressing the bishops when he said we need more witnesses than theologians. I most certainly agree.
Thank you Fr. Mark! We need the Catholic faith and witnesses of Jesus and the Gospel not more of the world.
Amen!! ♥️ Thank you Father Mark. God bless you always!!
♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️
Amen! Thank you Fr. Mark.
We love you Father, Jesus and Lord Holy Spirit.
It’s 0238 hours. I was listening to this outstanding truth you were speaking. The whole time I was saying, “ in beginning was the Word . The word was made flesh and dwelt amount us.” I agree with you 100% Fr Mark . Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing! I am in prayer for our Catholic church & this woke, corrupt world.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Father Mark. Our Lady and St Joseph please pray for us 🙏. Jesus we trust in you. ❤️
Very beautifully said. Thank you Fr. Goring.
...and we love you for loving God! ♡
Thank you Father!
Amen. Didn’t Pope Francis also just point out how the Episcopal Church “modernized “ as did Lutheran churches and where is the fruit of those changes? Why duplicate a losing plan? Only an outpouring of the Holy Spirit can bring true revival and renewal! Love you Father Mark you are full of the Holy Spirit!
Father Mark, it's good priests and friars like yourself who take the time to get online and inspire us all.
May God send you all the energy to carry on your good work
Father, The Last Gospel is included at our Traditional Latin Mass. I love the words more every time I read them.
Yes, The Last Gospel read at the end of every TLM. It should never have been omitted!!
When was the last gospel omitted??? WOW!!!
@maristella287 since Vatican II.The N.O doesn't have the last Gospel at the end of every mass. Only the TLM.
What is the last gospel?
@@PAT201000 it's John 1:1-14.
Thank you Father Goring. Your little videos are the ray of sunshine I rely on to set my day.
The Truth and nothing but the Truth…Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We get to him only through His Church
Thank you, Father Mark!! We need more priests like you! 🙏💕
With you Father. We cannot base theology and faith on people's feelings which are constantly in flux.
Amazing. The Holy Father needs our prayers so he can be clear about his walk as he walks the path of our savior.
May God protect His Church. We are certainly living in the times Christ shared about in His teachings about end times.
Come Holy Spirit, enlighten Your Holy Church!🕊
We must be obedient to the deposit of faith. The duty of the church is to present the deposit of faith received from the apostles intact.
Hi fr I've just come back from a monastery retreat with Cistercian monks at mount mellary abbey Waterford Ireland . I've been having retreats here on for years and they don't tell you but show you how to live the faith. They are prayerful, humble ,hospitable ,kind and compassionate all I that inspire me to do better and to carry that back to my community.🙏 Deep prayer and commitment to meditate and let God in are the most Important tenants of faith and for me must be ongoing in order to try do God's will🙏🙏🙏.
That’s wonderful to hear! God bless you!
How can we have a "paradigm shift" in the theology of Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow? The source of truth is eternal Christ, not people's subjective experience or their personal thinking, I had thought this was modernism...
I think this message is for those theologians who are NOT plugged into the Lord but are merely experts in ancient languages, Biblical texts, and intellectual interpretation.
Jesus came to earth as man of his time. His culture and speech fit into the time he was in. Do you think the world in 32 A.D. was any different, as far as sin is concerned, as from the world today? Jesus did not compromise with sin though, but I am afraid the Pope is willing to compromise with sin, and much of the Vatican is willing to mingle with worldly sin.
A paradigm shift doesn't mean new teachings. It simply means a new way of teaching.
I am an older Catholic, and I know, and I have watched it I’ve seen and experienced myself. A new birth! A spiritual experience, knowing God. Call it born again. But when that happens, you’re excited. You can’t get enough of Jesus you just can’t get enough. I can’t get enough of scripture. I can’t get enough of Jesus words I can’t get enough of any of that. It is being filled with the Holy Spirit. And I’m sorry to say I don’t think our hierarchy in many cases is that.
Worrying about political things, and the climate and things of that nature have nothing to do with our faith. We love Jesus we can’t get enough of Jesus we immerse ourselves in Jesus that’s it. So Rome is not my cup of tea lately.
@joolz5747 Amen! I couldn't agree with you more! We must be born again in the Spirit. We are washed in the precious Blood of Our Lord - and called to live a holy life, close to Jesus in prayer. We don't need scientists or non-believers to teach us anything about OUR Lord & Savior, but the Holy Spirit... who the Bible says will teach us ALL things! Love you Fr Mark - ❤
Keep doing what you are doing, loving God as you do, believing and sharing God with us as you do in an excited manner. You are on fire for the Lord and that is what our theologians should do/be, Father Mark!!!
Pray Pray Pray, Thank you Fr. Mark
As a former New Ager I had to learn the hard way that assuaging sins in order not to offend or make people feel bad is indeed a counterfeit love and false compassion. God’s Commandments are put into place to keep us safe, secure and to protect us from the evil one. Another difficult lesson I had to learn was before speaking to always invoke the help and Wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Simply because our words and actions always speaks louder than words. After making a lifetime of countless mistakes I am comfortable by these simple yet profound words…..every saints has a past and ever sinner a future. Praying for you Father Goring, the Pope and all Clergy to remain within the unchanging Dogma of the Catholic Church! Much love and respect!🙏✝️🔥🕊️❤️
AMEN!
Dear Father Mark, absolute true! We need such good shepherds like you. But let's not despair. On the contrary, let's pray very hard and cry out earnestly to the Lord. He will surprise us.
Please pray for me Father. Hurt my back, very painful. Praying for healing. Offering up pain for souls in purgatory. Thank you Father. I so need your wisdom and increased faith.🙏🙏❤️
I will pray for you dear heart in a rosary today for your back. I also suffer with chronic pain and yes offer it up for souls.📿🙏🥀
@@cindyc6328 Thank you. Started chiropractor for relief. Time will tell. Will keep you in my daily relevant radio rosary, every night at 7pm. 🙏🤗
@@judithreed2436 ahhhhh thank you so much. I have had chronic pelvic pain for 4 years. Nerve inflammation of some sort. 🥀
@@cindyc6328 I have a big big dog and she pulled me the wrong way which probably put the icing ion the cake. Sore back off and on for a long time too. Padre Pio healing prayer is a comfort. 🙏🙏
@@judithreed2436 Chronic pain is not fun. I have a dog too, not as big as i picture yours but I know they can pull you around as mine can too. Love Padre Pio ( pray and don't worry ) Just finished rosary with thoughts of you. I will continue to pray for you. We can keep in touch. 📿🙏🥀
Amen brother! We need mystics, and saintly theologians! And, I recently was proclaiming John 1 and i began to cry. I was surprisingly so moved by the first few verses. That's theology right there! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you Fr Mark for teaching us the truth. I have learned so much from you! God bless you!! Viva Cristo Rey!🙏❤️
I am skeptical of trying to embrace today's culture into the Truth of God.
me too. That's a non-starter for me, especially coming from Jorge. We all know what that will lead to.
The Church of What’s Happening Now. The Gospel According to the New York Times.
Sometimes it seems that the church is embracing hedonism. Carnival in the church is too much for me.
If the Church had stood & taught Tradition instead of going along with modernism, the world would not be in the shape it's in today
@harleymann2086 You are not completely wrong but... there's a substantial difference between the Tradition of Christ's Church and the traditions of the men who killed Him.
Return to Tradition channel broke down what the Pope wants in two videos today. He transcribed the whole thing and the Pope wants "science" involved. Pray for us....
No need to fear what "science" will show. God created science and knowledge, this will be a tool to "show" God's marvelous works, creation. Science will point to God. Just as the heavens are telling the wonders of God, science will tell of Gods unfathomable wonderful 'mind'. God Bless you!
Science has been co-opted by "science" of make-believe and lies as demonstrated in 2020. The "science" today is not of God.
time is very short now - we must prepare for martyrdom - Jesus, I trust in You!
Father Mark 🩵⚘️🩵
We love u from Boston MA.
You would be a holy pope.....wouldn't that be amazing!!!.💜⚘️💜 u r on fire...u give us the truth 🙏🙏🙏
Yes. People who speak out of pure, fiery love for God, and not out of display of intellectual capabilities.
Thank you Father Mark. ❤
I agree with you Father Mark, we do need more mystics rising up in our times and I think we are going to start seeing people on fire for God and people really standing up for God!! Viva Christo Rey!! Be with us!! Thanks for all you do Fr Mark, we appreciate you good priests and thank God for you. You are our guiding lights in this craziness. 📿✝️🙏🙏🙏💞🇺🇸✝️
Yes, Father Mark !!! 🤗 🕊️🙏
47 years old? You don’t look a day over 35. Well done!
I think perhaps you AND the Pope are right. As a lifelong Catholic I always practiced the faith by going to Mass and praying but it wasn’t until I was in my 40s that I had a significant conversion which led to me falling deeply in love with Jesus in a personal way. This love of Jesus led me to love Holy Scripture, The Bible, in a new way. Also to witness to others my love of Jesus and the way he works in my life. In short it changed the way I thought about evangelisation (Matt 28:19). Around this time I took an Alpha course which taught the importance of listening (John 4:7) when trying to bring others into a saving relationship with Jesus. Alpha’s motto is love listens. I have found that when I shut my mouth and listen (Pope Francis) then the Holy Spirit gives the stories to tell and the words to say (Fr Mark’s point) to the person I’m trying to evangelise. I am totally in love with Jesus Christ and His Church and, as you say Fr Mark, those qualities are the mark of someone who can go into the world and make disciples! Thank you for this video commentary!🙏
And we love you ! Thank you Father for sharing your love for God with us 🙏 VIVA CRISTO REY 🌹
Love you Fr. Mark! Keep preaching the gospel. Btw I loved Hold My Beer.
Amen Fr Mark🙏🌹✝️ I agree with you and understand exactly what you are saying and appreciate your every video….Everything I am and have within and without is from God…I try my best and continue to pray for every Grace from Heaven especially those that will be most important in my journey back home ….and I pray that if I could lead by an example anyone whether they are known to me or not I believe in my heart that would be pleasing to God my Heavenly Father….I am nothing without Him and everything with Him🙏🌹✝️🕊️🛐🛡️⚔️
Viva Cristo Rey🙌🙌🙌
Hi Kitty, I hadn't seen you over at Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Crusade and was worried about you. Glad to see you here. God Bless!
Faith & science has always gone hand in hand. God is truth!
At 19 I first heard someone speak God in truth & excitement.
The joy & excitement has stayed with me for over 60 years.
Kept me in the Church despite all the “mess” that has always existed in Her. She is filled with humans. It is to be expected.
Think maybe Francis started with a shallow, unrealistic expectation of perfectionist in this life. There is no need to change what God has given us. Just need to go deeper.
CS Lewis taught the where God seemed “wrong”…..accept in faith & look deeper. God knows why & how he designed man.
Francis should not think he can do better. Humility & trust is needed when following God.
Amen. Thank you Fr. Mark.
How beautiful, Fr Mark. Thank you. We can not re-invent or re-define God for the current times, and for the alternatively thinking and diverse people who make up a significant proportion of humanity, to our design and model. For as long as He has been revealing Himself to man, to miniscule man, He has shown us that we cannot rewrite His story.
How arrogant and brazen that would be. And how impossible. We have lost our wonder of God's Greatness and of His immense Love, and artistry, in the face of a paved and glass world and its new machines and "wonders"; of the intimate detail of His Creation, if only we stop and stoop to examine it and marvel at the perfection still all around us.
You are so right, that it must come from God, not some clever human minds. And if the messages from Our Blessed Mother are to be believed and taken seriously, God is not contemplating giving us a Second revised Edition, when, by and large, we have failed to embrace the First and careered headlong away from Him in pursuit of our own designs and pleasures, buoyed up by the rest of the worldly world around us. Look at the history of God's people - we know how this has to end.
I am not one who chooses to criticize Pope Francis 24/7, I think it can be divisive, conspiratorial and hysterical and we need more Faith than that. But here in this issue I really hope and pray that he is right.
Thank you Fr Mark for bringing this to our attention. May our great and loving God bless and keep us all.
Love this! Thanks Father Mark!
I think we need more people like you father, and like Mic Chris alar… I love to hear and learn theology…
Beautiful Father Mark, they want us to doubt the amazing super natural that God alone can reveal to us. How can you understand unless you experience it first hand? It must be why Jesus said to St. Peter " Blessed are you, my Father has revealed this truth to you."
GE Fr. Mark, thank you
God love you, Fr Mark. Boy, do we need priests like you! Greetings from an Australian Dominican.
Peace and Joy! Today is a new day for a life of prayer and evangelization.
God Bless You Fr. Goring and thank you for this discussion. Praying for you!! 🙏🙏
I love you Father Mark!! I always love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing all you know with us 🙏🏻❤️
Keep the faith- find faithful priests and a good TLM!
We must be authentic witnesses for Christ, not cheerleaders for whatever is new and trendy. Spot on Fr Mark.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FR MARK - I wish everyone could listen to the inspiring way you proclaim the truth. WE NEED WITNESSES as you say who have encountered God in a life-changing way not those who have been swept away by the present culture & listening to those who chant for changes which go against the very heart of the Gospel. Christ yesterday today and forever How often at retreat’s I’ve been so moved by the action of the Holy Spirit in the lives of others - so powerful. I pray your passionate plea for proclaimers of the true God and HIS WORD May reach the powers that be so that the Father’s will be done & HIS kingdom come Amen. God bless you Fr Mark & your uplifting & powerful ministry 🙏🏼❤️ Philomena Taylor My husband is a deacon here in Doncaster UK
God love you, Fr. Goring!
Fr. Mark may the Holy Spirit continue to have wrought out the great things He has begun in and through 🕊⚓️✝️
Hey Father loved to see you out hunting in your video. Great to see a man as a priest keep up the great work love ya brother God Bless
Amen Fr....Viva Cristo Rey....Alleluia!... THE truth will set you free...His name is Jesus...to be found in the Holy Eucharist!
Exactly Fr Mike. You have said it well. Keep setting the world on fire! Psalm 19.
Thank you Father Mark. We need more good priests like you now more than ever. God bless you!
..... Nice hood..... I love it.
Thank you Fr. Mark.
Whatever evolutions we are witnessing in the world, we cannot puport to imagine that the Everlasting God will change according to the evolving world view.
The TRUTH should never be diluted to suit the circumstances.
Viva Father Mark !
Fr. Mark, you are a great priest, thank you for your constant good messages.
But in my opinion you may have missed the boat on this one: First, theology is a different sort of work than the works of missionaries or exegetes or prophets or devotional heroes. (Ephesians 4:11-16) Theology is the systematic study of the divine science, which is typically a completely different thing than what one receives from mystical experiences from God. Second, the primary resource for the theologian is the public revelation received by the Church through Tradition and Scriptures, not private revelation. These form the foundational guideposts for what God reveals of Himself and his plan, and private revelation must always be submitted to testing and critique against that foundation. Third, one of the classic facets of mystical experience - especially the deepest ones like St. Teresa of Avila experienced - is that they are so wholly beyond natural that there is no adequate language to explain them, there simply aren't words in human language for them. So, while such mystics will be on fire for Christ, and these experiences may drive them to be fervent theologians, their experiences may not constitute the body of the theology they do.
So while it is great and wonderful, indeed an invaluable treasure, if a theologian is also a mystic, it is not the core essence of the work of theology that it spring from his mystical experience. Every theologian should be a man or woman of deep prayer, and EVERY Christian should love God above every other love, but one can be a good or even great theologian without great mystical experiences, and without trying to turn those experiences into explained theology if they DO have them.
