"beautiful beginnings of the olympics", dear lard, father, who do you serve? Olympics-sports has always been satanic invetion. Ego games and mass mind control. Time to wake up. Wake uuuuuuup.
Demons often use half-truths and lies of omission to keep people from entering the Church. Look at how many heresies the Church has faced throughout history!
As someone who is still learning about Christianity, it does seem like Jesus is targeted and scrutinized the most. It definitely feels odd to me considering Jesus is widely recognized as a symbol of peace. The hostility towards Jesus doesn't make sense to me.
Continue to be brave father. Speak out. Don’t be scared. I’m a black woman, 39, small 5 year old I look after alone. In the uk. Keep fighting. Don’t stop speaking out.
As a French Christian, I'm so sad to see how France has abandoned Christ for more than 100 years, and is doing its utmost day by day to blaspheme Christians with caricatures and other such crap.
I am so glad I live in the Orthodox nation of Georgia 🇬🇪 on Sunday our sermons were all "If you are Orthodox, you cannot watch the Olympics" there is a reason this pagan festival was banned by an Orthodox Emperor.
No offense but your country has been invaded intellectually years ago, your entire western side of the country is an American/western military/money laundering operation, luckily you still have some powerful people that want the best for Georgia but all the others do what America/nato tells them, that’s why every few years you guys almost go to war with Russia
Instagram demonetized my account (as if I make any $ off of their platform lol) simply for reposting a reel of our Christians peacefully gathering in France in response to what they’ve done at the Olympics, calling it misinformation, just like they used to do during the pandemic when truth was spreading.
Wilfully ignorant misinformation breeding hatred should always be removed immediately. Please google "was olympic ceremony parody of last supper" and at least try to have a clue about verifiable reality before opening your wilfully ignorant mouths and proving otherwise... “How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!” - Mark Twain “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire

To understand the Orthodox Christians, you must study how Christians always understood and practiced the faith from the beginning. I would recommend a number of books. Three that I would recommend would be 1) Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy, 2) The Religion of the Apostles, and 3) Rock and Sand. Two of them are in audible.

I wouldn't go and smack someone on the mouth pesonally for blapheming God. I see it all the time on the streets. One can only speak the truth to those who listen and those people are more interested in their own views rather than listening. They are free to disbelieve the gospel. We are told not to avenge ourselves as vengeance belongs only to God. If it is a case of physical force it is a sure thing that we shall come off worse.
It's not even shocking anymore, it's boring. Everything about them is boring, corporate, bourgeois, hyper-capitalist, anti-environment, anti-happiness. It's been the same way my entire adult life. It's why they're losing and they're getting more and more desperate and more and more heavy handed.
Hyper-Capitalist? By definition, you are talking about Fascists and hedonists. Capitalism or more correctly, free enterprise is not an economic system. It simply describes what people have been doing everyday from the beginning of time. You're referring to people who use "the system", i.e. government to manipulate the free market to do what "you" believe is unfairly and immoraly enrich themselves. That may or may not be true. If you fancy yourself a Christian, then you may want to watch yourself in that thinking. Your assumption smacks of jealously which is a form of hatred. You are also judging others you do not know. How do you earn a living? Could someone make the same claim about you? Do you really consider yourself righteous compared to those you appear to have contempt for? We all have to watch it!
I agree and I’ve made this same point too. Anti-Christian blasphemy in pop culture has been the norm for the last 35 years. Marilyn Manson was doing this kind of act back in the 90’s. It’s so over done and predictable at this point.
It is an unfortunate reality that people are allowed to do things like this. I remember watching a Nick Freitas video about this topic, in which he says, "As we all know, Christianity is the only world religion you can openly mock in the ceremony of a sporting event that's supposed to encourage world peace and unity." And I think that quote sums this whole thing up perfectly.
And in God's name, let's keep it like that. The Lord will judge everyone in a righteous way. It is none of our business. Us being awfully "hurt" from things like this arises from the ego. We are called to be Christlike.
@@jodex611 I disagree completely. Christianity is the light of the world. Are we to throw up our hands and surrender territory to Satan? Or are we to hold the line, challenge evil when we see it? Gentleness is our commandment, mercy is our way, but that does not mean we are to welcome evil into our homes, our communities, our nations. It is to be expelled, expunged, thrown out. A Christian is to have no tolerance for evil, but to call all to repent.

No surprise it happened in Paris, France which recently celebrated Bastille Day. While the French Revolution is commonly thought of as both the literal and figurative beheading of the French monarchy, people forget that it's also the tragic deschristianization of France.
Very true. In the Catholic world, France was called "the eldest daughter of the Church" since it was one of the first lands in the west to be evangelized. It's tragic to see where France is now spiritually.
Keep faith. I wear my cross and just today, literally hours ago, a man stopped me in the hallway to compliment it. My cross is orthodox and adorned with symbols which most Christians clearly don't recognize, and so I explained them to him. The three bar cross, ICXC, the Chi Rho, and "nika" forming the inscription "Jesus Christ the Victorious". His response was a joyous "God bless you". I could not even return the blessing, I was so taken aback. I have poor social skills. All I could manage was a thank you. This, in the workplace of a large company with unceasing propaganda. Keep your courage.
@@kirerunte1046 There are many other ways to make your living that don't involve serving the corporate elite. I agree, they are evil. Work for a charity, start a business, find a local tradesman to apprentice for.....just get out of their web and stop letting them run your life.
I’m ashamed to admit it, but this really solidified my belief in Jesus. The bible said this would happen, he would send us signs. I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way so I truly believe this is a blessing in disguise
They only ever target one group, and that ultimately ends up being Christians or Christian values. There are thousands of these blasphemies happening on the daily now and of varying scales. Given your case, that means thousands more every day see the light of the truth. Glory to Jesus Christ.
Thank you for reminding us of the teachings of our God. Your sage words were music to my ears. They hit their mark with great truth . May God bless you in your very important ministry.

We should all indoctrinate children with nonsense like prayer: Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. You trade your last cow for a handful of magic beans & pretend you should be respected for it.

I am a Buddhist I'm uncomfortable seeing this at the Olympics. This is a group of people who always demand respect from others, which conflicts with how they show others.
Essentially looks like Paris is okay with "open season" on Christians. A sort of, "Who would care!?" mindset on public display. Keep speaking the truth Fr. Trenham.
"let us not be offended" "If they slap your right cheek offer your left" "Be bold and confident in your faith" "You will be mocked for loving Me" "Pray for those who want to hurt or harm you, for they know not what they do" Lets be as Christlike as possible. Thats the proverb response of John, every matter must be handled carefully. Peoples eternal salvation are at stake. Pray. Pray. Pray. Help others.
Hello Fr. Josiah! I have been enjoying the new PNP app. It has been extremely edifying to listen to your reflections and lectures on marriage. Especially since I have just begun my own marriage. Thank you for everything you do!
I think it's better that you pray for the faithful Christians who have to endure and need help in the daily struggle of life living in this hellscape. Not these demons, they made their choice.
I'm a Roman (Catholic), and 1st time I watched your video, which was very insightful. No need to strike a blasphemer, Almight God already responded soon after the ceremony. Paris had a city wide power outage. Someone put up a video panning Paris in the dark. But far away from the filmer, in the distance on a hill, were blazing lights that were never shut off, and that was the Basilique du Sacre'-Coeur de Montmartre, translated as The Sacred Heart Of Jesus Catholic church.
@@lebanon1955 Yes, really. It is a painting and the painting itself is inaccurate. Those men are for the most part, Semitic. That is not somebody who has a European skin tone. Also know mythology. That is what that opening number was about.
@@warrenpeterson8446 The video that was uploaded yesterday said "This video has been removed by the International Olympic Committee, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." That is why the beginning of the video says that all opening ceremony footage is blocked.
God Bless you , my Orthodox brother. I appreciate your Christian response, as I struggle with wanting to answer this Blasphemous perversion with a well deserved response. You have articulated what Jesus would want us to have in our attitude. My attitude needed that reminder. May we all rise up and stand for Christ as one.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenlies. Therefore put on the whole armour of God. This has gone past being free to express our beliefs. It has got to the stage of flaunting our beliefs and pushing them onto people.
The insanity is when they claim it is not mocking the Last Supper. In French, on their own page on X it was referred to as "Cene", that means Holy Communion. They confirmed it and anything else is an excuse. Nobody should watch this at all. I'm sorry if you worked hard to be a part of this but if you're any Christian or Messianic, you should have walked. Morals cannot be bought by medals. There are only two choices, one is the world. We know will know them by their fruits. God Bless You All.
I think they're telling the truth in their own backhanded way. They're not mocking the last supper at all, instead, they are celebrating Dionysus. Plagiarising Da Vinci's last supper painting is just misdirection for the hoi-polloi.
Many think it's just the Last Supper thing, but in reality it's a three-act, four-hour Antichristian show. The first act is the descent to hell of Paris, where the torch of the city is given to a demon-like person. That alone, with the mocking of martyrs in the catacombs, should make anyone shiver. The second act is this crescendo of prideful-lustful musical acts up to the demonic supper, where the demon-like figure gives the torch, the light of Paris to a faceless messenger. The third act is that strong passage of the faceless messenger riding over the Sena river, as if it were a river of the dead, and all the nations in the world joined behind the ranks of this Antichristian messenger, since they rode in the same river while all this blasphemy was taking place. It's the most brutal depiction I've seen of the Revelation of St. John, since the artists didn't try to hold back their satanic synergy. That being said, I think the transition between the second and the third act is the most shocking aspect of the opening, even more than the Last Supper mockery.
I had no idea this occurred as I do not watch TV. Such dismay to learn of it. How can anyone unsee this unfortunate situation unfold. May we pray without ceasing for the transformation of the people to actually see of their blasphemy. Let the light of Christ shine out the darkness. Blessings to fellow Orthodox Christians who stand for truth as the Saints did. The martyrs experienced such torture and gave up their lives. We as Orthodox faithful are tortured by the individualistic view pressed into our society in the guise of artistic direction and form. Orthodox Christians live within the Church - the hospital with Christ our physician. We take up our Cross and do not follow the world, we follow Christ. Why would the world who do not follow Christ believe they are representing art. Christ is not art, and he cannot and will not be reduced to man’s brokenness. May God have mercy on their souls.
Even if there were no analogy of the last supper at all - how to stand the sight of that man, with his baren testicels behind that child is a riddel to me. Were there no christianity at all - why then to warship obesity? Or present sexual perversity as if it were a virtue? To let a beheaded queen sing without her head on her shoulders is ridiculing compassion to a degree not understandabel without understanding satanic messages - but we do. There they go!
Thank you, Father! I am happy to see this! We have to be strong on our faith more than ever! May God help us to follow him and serve him at all times! Amen!
The VERY FIRST question I had upon seeing that blasphemy, was "I wonder if the people behind this are (blank)". Imagine my complete lack of shock when it turns out the opening ceremony artistic director, and the lady in the center of the show mocking Christ, are indeed (blank). While I wont dare to say (blank) here given RUclips's policies, I do dare to call out (blank) by name in the offline world. St John Chrysostom did.
The "apology" was was the classic pilpul and chutzpah double whammy: it is all in your head that I am humiliating you, cattle, and you are victimizing ME by noticing. Tiresome.
Ireland here. I'm not watching the Olympics for the first time. I've written to the Vatican & the Olympics people. I have to ask - WHY hasn't Pope Francis not spoken out about this? His silence is deafening. The Priest at mass last Sunday said nothing either.

No surprise it happened in Paris, France which recently celebrated Bastille Day. While the French Revolution is commonly thought of as both the literal and figurative beheading of the French monarchy, people forget that it's also the tragic deschristianization of France.
Very true. In the Catholic world, France was called "the eldest daughter of the Church" since it was one of the first lands in the west to be evangelized. It's tragic to see where France is now spiritually.
Therefore it is anti French revolution. I am saying this in present because what's happening in France is an extension of this past wicked event...
I wish all Christians in America would listen to this and take it to heart.
The very life of working at a large company is to endure unceasing blasphemy.
That's why I don't see the point in working and it doesn't pay
Keep faith. I wear my cross and just today, literally hours ago, a man stopped me in the hallway to compliment it. My cross is orthodox and adorned with symbols which most Christians clearly don't recognize, and so I explained them to him. The three bar cross, ICXC, the Chi Rho, and "nika" forming the inscription "Jesus Christ the Victorious". His response was a joyous "God bless you". I could not even return the blessing, I was so taken aback. I have poor social skills. All I could manage was a thank you. This, in the workplace of a large company with unceasing propaganda. Keep your courage.
do not endure, be brave, rebuke, Christ will win!
@@kirerunte1046 There are many other ways to make your living that don't involve serving the corporate elite. I agree, they are evil. Work for a charity, start a business, find a local tradesman to apprentice for.....just get out of their web and stop letting them run your life.
@@tuckerprice5521 That's what I did, started a business after the satanic woke show got out of hand at 47, two years ago.
I’m ashamed to admit it, but this really solidified my belief in Jesus. The bible said this would happen, he would send us signs.
I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way so I truly believe this is a blessing in disguise
They only ever target one group, and that ultimately ends up being Christians or Christian values.
There are thousands of these blasphemies happening on the daily now and of varying scales.
Given your case, that means thousands more every day see the light of the truth. Glory to Jesus Christ.
@@NFS0038 Amen
Finally you can see the signs, and again these people are evil in nature. Im glad these bring you closer to God
You're ashamed to admit it? Wtf...
@@costealucia5357 I’m ashamed to admit it because it implies I left
I ignore the Olympics. And when people ask me about the Olympics, I tell them I don't have time for this activity.
But you just made time for it. You clearly want to talk about it. Let’s chat. I’m not religious or trans, so i thinks it’s all kind of funny.
Thank You Jesus for your Love and Grace that we Christians can stand against evil and Praise Your Holy Name Publicly Amen❤
Thanks for speaking up Father Josiah. God give you strength!
Thank you for reminding us of the teachings of our God. Your sage words were music to my ears. They hit their mark with great truth . May God bless you in your very important ministry.
GOOD ON YOU FATHER AS ALWAYS YOUR WORDS ARE PERFECT AND TRUEFULL AND FULL OF WISDOM !!!
THANK YOU FATHER BLESSED !!!
"in the last days the devil will attack family and marriage", message from Fatima by Our Lady, our Mother. I think the world has arrived there now, we are in the last days. One thing I look forward to is that this will usher the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, "but in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph". God bless.

@@PatristicNectarFilms Father, your app, Patristic Nectar Publications, is absolutely the best app for the Orthodox faith. Thank you very much for it!
Is Christianity possible in a democracy?
We should all indoctrinate children with nonsense like prayer: Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. You trade your last cow for a handful of magic beans & pretend you should be respected for it.
You just are close minded, it was beautiful !
@sebozz2046
You're so open-minded, your brains leaked out!
Thank you father Josiah for your words, for your wisdom. Greetings to orthodox brothers. Im Roman catholic woman from Poland but I listen and subscribe this chanel.❤❤❤ God bless you.
Truth and nothing but the truth amen brother.
This event brought me back to the way 🙏🏽 May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help others who are lost in the darkness of the secular world. Thank you Father for your service , wisdom and courage. May the Lord continue his blessings upon you and your loved ones 🙏🏽
This needed to be said. Thank you for showing us the Godly way.
I stand with you. Was shocked and appalled by this. Let us as Christians lead by example. Our life is everything. And praying 🙏
Thank you for saying all this. Greetings from Estonia. ☦
Excellent App Father kudos to Patristic Nectar for putting it together!
I am a Buddhist I'm uncomfortable seeing this at the Olympics. This is a group of people who always demand respect from others, which conflicts with how they show others.
Thank you brother
Essentially looks like Paris is okay with "open season" on Christians. A sort of, "Who would care!?" mindset on public display. Keep speaking the truth Fr. Trenham.
An excellent, thorough and heartfelt commentary
"let us not be offended"
"If they slap your right cheek offer your left"
"Be bold and confident in your faith"
"You will be mocked for loving Me"
"Pray for those who want to hurt or harm you, for they know not what they do"
Lets be as Christlike as possible.
Thats the proverb response of John, every matter must be handled carefully. Peoples eternal salvation are at stake.
Pray. Pray. Pray. Help others.
Amen
You don’t understand like most people the meaning of turning the other cheek. Unfortunately it is a linchpin!
Hello Fr. Josiah! I have been enjoying the new PNP app. It has been extremely edifying to listen to your reflections and lectures on marriage. Especially since I have just begun my own marriage. Thank you for everything you do!
❤️ 🙏
Praise the Lord! God wins!
Thank you for this video, father, much needed! Blessed is His Holy name! 🙏🏼
I was waiting for an Orthodox priest to post a video commenting on the Olympics. Thank you!
"Great is His Holy name." I'm totally doing that. So much better than my typical response.
Go Father GO! ! ! They will face the judgement! Prayers for all involved!
I think it's better that you pray for the faithful Christians who have to endure and need help in the daily struggle of life living in this hellscape. Not these demons, they made their choice.
I'm a Roman (Catholic), and 1st time I watched your video, which was very insightful. No need to strike a blasphemer, Almight God already responded soon after the ceremony. Paris had a city wide power outage. Someone put up a video panning Paris in the dark. But far away from the filmer, in the distance on a hill, were blazing lights that were never shut off, and that was the Basilique du Sacre'-Coeur de Montmartre, translated as The Sacred Heart Of Jesus Catholic church.
To be fair, that could have been a generator.
@@LadyMariaStill a symbolic message…
@@lornadoone8887 If it leads people to the RCC, it's the wrong message.
I have not, nor will I view a single event in this pagan celebration. Turn the Olympics OFF!!!!!!
The Last Supper = a painting. It is not a holy relic or something that has been consecrated.
Me too I didn't see one stopped immediately
@@MargYorkreally????
@@lebanon1955 Yes, really. It is a painting and the painting itself is inaccurate.
Those men are for the most part, Semitic. That is not somebody who has a European skin tone.
Also know mythology. That is what that opening number was about.
Thank you so much, dear Father Josiah. Greetings from Italy.

We support you, Father Josiah. May our Lord gives you strenght. Love from Malaysia.
Yes may they fall down and worship Him before its too late. I hope we all use this as an opportunity to glorify His name in all the nations 🙏🏼♥️
What a beautiful reply, Father!
I think it’s very telling how the first time you attempted to address this subject the video was taken down by the Olympic committee.
They are so evil
the olympic committe nah it wasnt them
@@warrenpeterson8446 The video that was uploaded yesterday said "This video has been removed by the International Olympic Committee, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." That is why the beginning of the video says that all opening ceremony footage is blocked.
@@Tandrona yh nah people more powerful than the olympic committe did that stay blind if u want
"If anyone laughs at your faith, pray for him. There will be no laughing matter on the day of judgment." -St. John Chrysostom
BRAVO, you are blessed & beautiful are your words. Christos anesti.
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 my brother. Thank you for this video ☦️ 🙏
Thanks so much
This channel and RootsOfOrthodoxy are my most visited channels, coming from a Catholic. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to learn
I've listened five times now, you're touching a live wire. Thank you, and your blessing please.
The older I am, I am more devoted to church and Orthodoxy, thanks God that I’m born and raise in that spirit, ❤️
Thank you, you beautiful man!!!❤
God Bless you , my Orthodox brother. I appreciate your Christian response, as I struggle with wanting to answer this Blasphemous perversion with a well deserved response. You have articulated what Jesus would want us to have in our attitude. My attitude needed that reminder. May we all rise up and stand for Christ as one.
Thank you so much for actually bringing the patristic nectar.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenlies. Therefore put on the whole armour of God. This has gone past being free to express our beliefs. It has got to the stage of flaunting our beliefs and pushing them onto people.
Thank you Father well said.
Bless, Father. It's horrible what's happening out there and all around. May it grow our faith, Amen.
I love ❤Saint John Chrysostom ❤We need 1 Saint like him now to eradicate the evil 🙏🏼✝️
Well spoken Father Josiah This depravity has gone far enough. Love and blessings. Amen and Amen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Abona for teaching us how to respond Gody way
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾😊
Public blasphemy was met with capital punishment in the Byzantine Empire, especially under St. Justinian the Great. That is how serious this is.
Amen 🙏🏼
The insanity is when they claim it is not mocking the Last Supper. In French, on their own page on X it was referred to as "Cene", that means Holy Communion. They confirmed it and anything else is an excuse. Nobody should watch this at all. I'm sorry if you worked hard to be a part of this but if you're any Christian or Messianic, you should have walked. Morals cannot be bought by medals.
There are only two choices, one is the world. We know will know them by their fruits.
God Bless You All.
I think they're telling the truth in their own backhanded way. They're not mocking the last supper at all, instead, they are celebrating Dionysus. Plagiarising Da Vinci's last supper painting is just misdirection for the hoi-polloi.
Yup, "La Céne sur la scéne sur la Seine" which is in English "The Last Supper on a scene on the Seine".
Yep they just love to gaslight lol
Hi Fr. Josiah I really am grateful for your videos!
Many think it's just the Last Supper thing, but in reality it's a three-act, four-hour Antichristian show. The first act is the descent to hell of Paris, where the torch of the city is given to a demon-like person. That alone, with the mocking of martyrs in the catacombs, should make anyone shiver. The second act is this crescendo of prideful-lustful musical acts up to the demonic supper, where the demon-like figure gives the torch, the light of Paris to a faceless messenger. The third act is that strong passage of the faceless messenger riding over the Sena river, as if it were a river of the dead, and all the nations in the world joined behind the ranks of this Antichristian messenger, since they rode in the same river while all this blasphemy was taking place. It's the most brutal depiction I've seen of the Revelation of St. John, since the artists didn't try to hold back their satanic synergy. That being said, I think the transition between the second and the third act is the most shocking aspect of the opening, even more than the Last Supper mockery.
Yes. Exactly. It was more than the Supper.
I had no idea this occurred as I do not watch TV. Such dismay to learn of it. How can anyone unsee this unfortunate situation unfold. May we pray without ceasing for the transformation of the people to actually see of their blasphemy. Let the light of Christ shine out the darkness. Blessings to fellow Orthodox Christians who stand for truth as the Saints did. The martyrs experienced such torture and gave up their lives. We as Orthodox faithful are tortured by the individualistic view pressed into our society in the guise of artistic direction and form. Orthodox Christians live within the Church - the hospital with Christ our physician. We take up our Cross and do not follow the world, we follow Christ. Why would the world who do not follow Christ believe they are representing art. Christ is not art, and he cannot and will not be reduced to man’s brokenness. May God have mercy on their souls.
Im glad didnt watch it and never follow these shows
Even if there were no analogy of the last supper at all - how to stand the sight of that man, with his baren testicels behind that child is a riddel to me. Were there no christianity at all - why then to warship obesity? Or present sexual perversity as if it were a virtue? To let a beheaded queen sing without her head on her shoulders is ridiculing compassion to a degree not understandabel without understanding satanic messages - but we do. There they go!
Thank you Father.
I don't even want to look at it.
Me as well
Blessed be the Holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ - thank you your faithful message -
Vengeance is mine says the Lord 🔥☦️
Thank you, Father! I am happy to see this! We have to be strong on our faith more than ever! May God help us to follow him and serve him at all times! Amen!
I've been waiting for Father Josiah Trenhams response on this. Thank you for your guidance father
The VERY FIRST question I had upon seeing that blasphemy, was "I wonder if the people behind this are (blank)". Imagine my complete lack of shock when it turns out the opening ceremony artistic director, and the lady in the center of the show mocking Christ, are indeed (blank). While I wont dare to say (blank) here given RUclips's policies, I do dare to call out (blank) by name in the offline world. St John Chrysostom did.
Im not even surprise anymore😂
I agree. Makes me wish that (blank) and his (blank) Party would come back to power again…
The "apology" was was the classic pilpul and chutzpah double whammy: it is all in your head that I am humiliating you, cattle, and you are victimizing ME by noticing. Tiresome.
Excellent commentary - thank you for telling it like it is! 🙏🏼♥️☦️
Thank you for commenting on this sad and horrible event. I couldnt watch it all.
Brilliant teaching by dear Father Josiah!
Ireland here. I'm not watching the Olympics for the first time. I've written to the Vatican & the Olympics people. I have to ask - WHY hasn't Pope Francis not spoken out about this? His silence is deafening. The Priest at mass last Sunday said nothing either.
He is one of them
It's all fun and games until Judgement Day.
I am boycotting the Olympics. Thank you Father for this video
Well it was about time someone said something. God Bless you Father Josiah. I’ll also take a sip.
YOUR BEAUTIFUL FATHER BLESSED !!!
