I’ve never heard Calvin Robinson mince words, sugarcoat, or dissemble. Yet I have never seen him intentionally insult anyone or lose his temper. Maybe he has; but overall he seems to be an excellent role model for controversial discussions.
I just got Baptized into the Catholic church. Priest said it was the biggest group he has ever baptized in twelve years. Things are turning.
I was baptised also. May Mary guide you. I am 15. It seems that most people being received into the church are young people. God is raising an army. Make sure you remember to PRAY THE ROSARY TODAY. God bless you
I really hope so
I joined the Cathoiic chur h 56 years ago. It took me 8 years to decide ecause it was so Important and I didn't want to backtrack. I have not regretted my decision for one second.i wish I had joined te Catholic even sooner.
Only Jesus Christ can rewire the West or any other place. The goal is to have him living in us.
Yes..integralism is the way!..God bless Mary protect!+++
Yes indeed!
No. “My Kingdom is not of this world.” “You are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” Our Lord did not pray that we would be taken from the world, but that the father would keep us from the evil. “They seek a better country, that is, a heavenly.”
Problem most Westerners don't want to have anything to do with Christ. Christianity is a minority Religion in the West without much influence.
If anyone thinks religious figures can save anything it is just a fantasy
We are now able to listen to Fr. Robinson undisturbed, and truth shines through. I was angry, and disappointed when @GBNews let he and Fox go... our Creator moves in mysterious ways 🙏
Their loss. He was made for greater impact and greater opportunity.
I am a Christian coming back into the community after years of isolation. (TN S Baptist) Rev Robinson is one of the voices that echoed the Holy Spirit and guided me back into church to be around other strong men and women of faith. He pops up in my prayers upon occasion. All leaders need prayers of wisdom.
Congratulations.
Welcome Home ✝️
His thinking is so clear!! Praise God ❤
As a greek person who is atheist (or agnostic), I must say that this was a beautiful and also very true conversation, and that Rev.Robinson seems to be a very positive and strong and even wise person.
Same
Ditto …
Fr. Calvin is such an intelligent breath of fresh air. God bless him.
When I see Calvin Robinson with his hair per it being short he still makes me smile a decent guy who really cares about his country and his faith a man of passion my God keep him safe and well
I see God's name everywere; shining in the sky, singing in the winds, thundering in the seas, and in all His creation! And I listen to His voice in my conscience, letting me know what is right and wrong! I just cannot understand those who don't feel Him! And I am grateful that He has allowed me to know Him. For those who don't feel Him I would advise them to go to a church when it is empty or just with a few people & sit there quietly for some time.
If someone goes to an apostate or heretical church truly believing that they will receive, know, or feel God, would it actually happen to them?Church is not the answer, Christ is.One can very well lead someone to be pharaisical while the other would lead to life everlasting and liberty.
#22:11 I have worked in higher education and for massive corporations. I have seen some truly frightening changes over 30 years. The argument about, "Well, I gotta feed my kids," or "I will make a difference once I'm promoted high enough to do so," is 100% what I've heard so many times. People who exchange their faith and values for comfort and convenience, in my opinion, don't actually value what they claim. I couldn't tell you have many so- called Christians have said this or loud then commit dastardly sins to get ahead at work. Full disclosure, I'VE said similar things for a time. Then, I woke up. I'm working from home now because nobody wants to hire a noncompliant person to modern values. I'm struggling financially but I'm feeling less conflicted everyday. Great conversation.
Thanks for the insight. I suppose the trouble is power, wealth, comfort is corrupting.
@@MidnightIsolde"Comfort is corrupting". Wow. Who knew such wisdom could be found on RUclips comments?!
Thank you for this interview! Excellent. Rev. Calvin is genius and like John the Baptist a voice crying in the wilderness or the prophetic voice of Elijah. God bless you Calvin. Of course we desperately need a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and and a relationship with the Holy Spirit as in Acts 2.
Powerful message, no hysteria, just truth.
He’s rock solid, young Calvin.
He is he's great
So true! I’m going to find his church in London and go to a sermon.
I agree with every word thatt fr Calvin says.
Jesus is our only option thank you brother
Great man, Mr Robinson. You say tough truths with a calm and confident voice and with kindness. Excellent
How beautifully he encapsulated it all ❤
We need more priest like you Fr. Calvin. God bless you.
It's true that at church, I meet a greater variety of people of different ages, ethnicities, personalities, vocations, and lifestyles. That is one of the things I like most about socializing at church: interacting with people who are different from me.
Fr Calvin is such a breath of fresh air!
What a beautiful conversation thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
“Modern conservative wants to live forever” that is twice in two days that Father Calvin has said something so profound that I had to press pause.
Excellent questions and direction beginning to end 👏
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
The Polish National Church will be blessed to have Fr. Calvin. What an awesome priest!
Found this very help/useful. Positive traditionalism. Needs to be heard.
Nice to hear you guys kicking ‘round the arguments that assail me every now and then - I find singing in my local Church choir to be particularly uplifting 🙏
How refreshing! Thank you for posting this interview. Father Calvin Robinson is a favorite and a wonderful example of how to speak the truth in love. We need leaders like him showing us the way.
Absolutely fantastic interview. I could listen to Calvin all day. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏻✨
Protection of evil priests has driven many away from the church.
Calvin, such a Caring, Genuine man xxxx
So profoundly stated about Boundaries.
This was one of the best interviews I've ever listened to on these subjects.
Thankyou for speaking courage& truth.🙏👍.A fantastic talk which we all need to heed to. God is the way 🙏🙏
Excellent interview, so glad to see you having these meaningful discussions with faithful and articulate people.
I have loved your conversation, your values. I realise there are good people left in the world. I am eighty now and the world has become unrecognisable in many ways ❤❤
I don’t know how it’s possible Fr. Robinson is not yet married. He is a wonderful and amazingly eligible bachelor!! I pray for him to find his beautiful wife soon! We need more people like him marrying and having big families!
I always enjoy listening to Calvin. He always comes across as genuine and caring, if blunt (a good thing in my mind).
I'm not at all religious either.
This is a wonderful interview!
😁 🙌
Thank you for video Fr is so good and helpful to us.
“Let us here observe, that a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things, never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.”
― Joseph Smith
Chesterton said something along the lines of Tradition was democratic because it gave voice to those who came before us and prevented a tyranny of those who happen to be walking about.
Excellent conversation, thank you!!
Thanks for listening!
wow, you should have Fr. back on the show again! :)
"Wokeness is the new Puritanism". Classic and genius!!!
Great video. Thank you for posting.
Regarding first topic of ways to push back... Church definitely, taverns- sure, don't forget existing organization like KofC. Most of them are very Catholic and in dire need of young blood. The infrastructure is there, let's use it.
😊 Knights of Columbus.
Thanks again.
A true man of God, a word warrior who represents the Word (Jesus Christ). ✝️🙏🏻💜
So wonderful to hear Father Calvin put in words those things that describe my thoughts that are hard for me to verbalize.
The reason for the high rates of divorce is that we are too immature to marry, while being totally unaware of our immaturity.
We often try to find a person to fulfil our needs, only to dump them when they fail to meet our expectations.
Having said that, divorce must remain readily available to people, since nobody should be trapped in an abusive relationship.
Sometimes there are no perfect solutions; only the choice between the lesser of two evils.
The one thing we need to bear in mind is that in order to love our neighbours as ourselves, we cannot treat people as objects, but must create an I-Thou relationship them; which is not possible if we fail to see the spirit of God in them.
Wonderful Calvin x ĝod bless
Pink Flloyd had it with the lyric: 'A walk on part in the war, or a lead role in a cage'.
Calvin, mate - easy to say. I’ve also fallen out with the Anglicans, to my absolute heartbreak.
This was an excellent interview. Thank you both
Keep in mind that the American view of persuit of happiness was meaning the persuit of virtue. It sadly has polymorphed into something quite in this day and age.
Thanks for so many words of knowledge and wisdom... may God bless you...
Thank you, Valentino! Glad you enjoyed the interview
The saying used in court:
"The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"
covers all three types of lies.
(1) Lies of facts.
(2) Lies of omission.
(3) Lies of exaggeration.
These are the three main ways the Devil will lie and deceive. He tells Lies that are factually incorrect, he will omit some truth or he will exaggerate something. Crafty Serpent.
We are literally forgetting how to FORGET. When the internet is constantly there at the tip of your finger to do all your remembering (thinking) for you, you not only need no longer to remember, you even forget what it means to forget. No more, "What was that actor's name again--you know, the one who was always John Wayne's sidekick? Argh, I'm racking my mind but just can't dredge it up." The energy we'd once have invested even in the recognition of FORGETTING, and its accompanying, constructive attempt at recollection, is, all of it, entirely, displaced, canceled, by the immediate instinct to "google." Our memory, our recollecting, our sometime struggle with forgetting, are reduced to a very nearly involuntary twitch of the index finger. The index finger is the pathway to our new brain, and that brain is stored in a piece of technology that is NOT US. Which reduces "us" to an appendage of the machine.
Thank you for these insights ❤
as always totally eloquent, expert expression and comment - should be on all media 24 7
We must get over toxic kindness, be prepared to call out both wokeness and Islam bullying. Following Christian tradition is embracing the source of freedom and democracy. Women don’t need an ideology to be free , it’s your G-d given birth right.
Really lovely
🙏 🤲 ❤ Calvin didnt realise he was so tall
I will be able to say that I was a subscriber of Rewire the West before they hit 10k subs! 👍
Oh, premature question! He just explained it.
Great interview, thx
The simple problem is that most churches have excluded God by selectively restricting the Word (logos, not capitalised, as per the original texts). Diversity of understanding is rare due to the necessary adherence to divisional doctrine.
"If you want to maintain freedom of religion, reassert Christian ity" That is a powerful comment..other alternatives will not tolerate other faiths..
Calvin is so tall !!! 🩵

2 Chronicles chapter 7 v 14!
If we can apply Greek, Roman and European pagan ideas without being Greek, Roman or European Pagan...then why can we not apply Christian ideas without being Christian?
you can build statues of Apollo without worshipping them, but being divorced from the original purpose means you’re using it for a different purpose - in this example, as an allegory for reason and an embodiment of beauty: that means you get a different result from the statue than did the Romans, which is as a belief that they’d appeased the force of reason himself
if you divorce objects or ideas from their intended functions, you will inevitably get different results: the Neoliberal West tries to incorporate Christian morals into a secular framework and calls it a universal humanism, and see how well that’s going
@@qqwipz6866 Yes, you get new results, but are they necessarily worse? It’s way better to appreciate Apollo aesthetically than to worship him.
Ending the stigmatisation of gays and rejecting the blood libel against the Jews are both new ideas that I would argue are superior to Biblical ideas. It took eighteen centuries for Christians to formulate an objection to slavery-another new, non-Biblical idea.
Meanwhile-one of the best ideas ever, one that has massively improved life for billions of people-the scientific method is wholly absent from Biblical Christianity.
I acknowledge the centrality of Christian ideas to the success of the West. However, the failure of Christianity to persuade us in the modern era is not our fault. The apologetics are simply not in place.
I would argue we _have no choice_ but to seek either powerful new ideas that solve societal problems, or find powerful new justifications for the old ideas.
You could, but it would only slow the decay, not stop it.
If you are living by Christian ideals, how are you not Christian? Why chafe against that? Why is there a need today to rebrand it as something else? Isn't it painfully obvious that our abandonment of Christian values has led to the decline we find ourselves in? And to be replaced by what? Anything and everything apparently. This is not sustainable.
@@sprezzatura8755 There's a difference between applying a principle, such as the principle of the sovereignty of the individual, and believing the associated dogmas, such as the resurrection of Christ.
This is a fallen world and there will always be suffering. But there will be joy too.
I recall in the first half of the 20th Century, in the USA, there were enclaves where everybody spoke Spanish or German. Probably other languages too, but I know about those two. These were natural-born US citizens. By the end of the 1970s, though, most of these people had learned reasonable English as well. \
But that is when the guest-worker programs in the US ended and thousands of Mexicans began entering the US illegally.
What a wonderfully, fantastic interview!.. i pray for Calvin's conversion to Catholicism, but his views on the west, what's wrong and what needs to happen to restore Res Publica Christiana, are great!!..God bless Mary protect +++
I love that Fr Calvin always brings the conversation back to Christ every time the host tries to stir it away into secularism. No offense to the host, but it seems while he respects the faith, he does not deem it as necessary, and that is where his mistake is. The Lord tell us in the Gospel: "seek first the kingdom of heaven, and everything else will be added to you".
you are so right on dear father and continue the articulation of true, good, beauty. continue the articulation form is not fluid wokeism. .
Point well taken: We're entering a New Dark Age.
You can definitely try...... :)
I haven't watched Calvin's debate at Oxford, but I suppose if I'd been in his shoes--well, I suppose two things, actually: first, I suppose I'd never have managed the quality of argument Calvin did, but I also suppose I'd have started (and perhaps ended) with "Who cares what this House thinks on this? This House is not the Church. The Church is not an organ of this House. This House might just as well assert that it believes Jews should eat pork, or Quakers should bear arms, or Moslems should pray facing Copenhagen, not Mecca. For that matter, the Vatican might just as well issue an edict that this House put in new, mauve carpeting and paint its ceiling aquamarine. It's all of the same fabric. Christianity is neither a creation nor the property of this House and it is not in the remotest sense obliged to cater to this House's preferences. Who is this House, after all?"
Fr. Calvin speaks much sense but I am a little puzzled by his statement that we do not have monasteries any more.
There are many Catholic and Anglican monasteries and nunneries in the UK.
Bergamo!!!! My beloved city!! I lived right behind the square in the intro, piazza Vecchia, and I was an altar boy in the church shown. Btw great video!
so cool, I love that! Beautiful Sita Olta 🥳
@1:12:17 so, is he protestnt or catholic? sorry its not clear to me? thanks to anyone who would answer?
He is from a high Anglican (Anglo-Catholic) background, but has joined an old break off of the Catholic Church who don't recognise the Pope as infallible.
@@vorynrosethorn903 thank you
@vorynrosethorn903 To be Catholic is to believe in papal infallibility. If you don't believe in papal infallibility, you're absolutely not Catholic.
I'm Catholic, and a big fan of Calvin, but he should come home to the Catholic faith. We need him. Pax Christi.
I live in south London, where do I go?
the introductory premise in studying philosophy at university (at some British universities) is ‘There is no truth’ 😰
Having been rejected (?) by the Anglicans, is Calvin now a Catholic?
Everyone knows what to do. They're just not allowed to say it.
Is this a conversation or an interview? Thanks.
What to do about it? Sabotage, malicious compliance, and endless physical training
Jesus was never a pacifist..
True. Saint Michael!
I don't agree that contraception is bad. What about women who are married and already have 3 kids and they just don't want anymore? Are they just never supposed to sleep with their husband's again? This is too strict for my taste, too puritan.
The puritan tradition is not as authoritarian as Calvin states. There were some marvellous ministers and laity amongst the Puritans. Thanks for this great video.
I miss Common Sense Crusade.
He's doing that on Lotus Eaters now, but you have to pay a subscription to see it.
Decline or transformation? You think its a worse place ?? Less free ?
I wonder if Calvin believes that people who believe in justification by faith in Christ alone are anathema?
Is this guy Calvin a Roman Catholic priest? I can’t get my head roundcwhuch church he represents.
He's ordained by an Old Catholic bishop but he leads a Free Church of England Church - which is fine because Old Catholics and Anglicans are in communion with each other.
Re: early 20th century; Berdyaev wrote WWl was the end of the Enlightenment.
Quite interesting. But Calvin Robinson keeps returning to the idea of 'go to church'. Wonderful, we'd love to go to church, except there isn't a Bible-based church in our area and when I went 1 mile - yes, just 1 mile - out of my area and found a church that looked hopeful I was told that I wasn't welcome because I came from out of the area! I can't help smiling even as I write this. You couldn't make it up.
So, Calvin, thankyou for your repeated advice, I'm sure it's good advice IN THEORY. But reality is a bitch!
So, presumably, interracial marriage is 'unnatural'? i.e. 'tribes' should remain 'pure'?
is Calvin a follower of Calvin?
Most definitely NOT. He has nothing but contempt for calvinism.
@@CompassaeLearning i was being facetious...
