  • It's amazing that I ever posted my first video five years ago. It's even more amazing that I've stuck with it for this long. Over the past five years, I've learned a lot, made many mistakes, and shared much of my life. Here's what it's been like for me.

I don’t know how I found this channel or what, but I’ve been considering converting to Catholicism - something I NEVER would have considered as I was scared to go into a cathedral and terrified that I wouldn’t belong. Thank you 🙏🏽

    Fr. Casey (and let’s just pause there, because it’s in a very large part thanks to you that I can even type that as someone who spent nearly her whole life as a fundamentalist Protestant and would never have wanted to call you Father), happy RUclips anniversary. Last summer, while wrestling with God over a miscarriage, I prayed for the Holy Spirit. I never, ever imagined what would happen next. An unexpected Catholic funeral in which I couldn’t deny that the priest was a Christian. And then your RUclips channel. The first video I saw was that early one of you answering common questions. And I could see it in your eyes that you loved Jesus. Earth shattering. I cringe at your recent video where you respond to “Catholics Aren’t Christians” because I really thought that. But in video after video, you proved me wrong. I binge watched you every morning last fall. I loved your series on the Mass because I didn’t know *anything* about it. I just knew I was dying of hunger, and here was real food. If I were single, I would have already asked to be in RCIA, but I’m married with eight kids, and changing the course of a family is like getting a fully loaded semi turned around. But I wanted to say thank you for evangelizing and catechizing me, for enduring so much to give others life. You are truly living the Gospel.

I know I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for my mother living out her faith in everything she did and everyone she helped. That witness made me rethink which way to turn every time I found a new fork in the journey of life. My father mocked our faith and now I see the brokenness within that I could not see while growing up but her witness was always stronger! Ps. Not saying that that’s your situation, just saying it’s all worth it 😉

I went to a Catholic school here in the Philippines but it was in You Tube that I learned more about my faith. Please continue doing your good work of guiding us Catholics to understand our religion more. God bless.

    I will forever be grateful for you and your videos Fr. Casey. It's because of your videos that I converted back to Catholicism and is now seriously considering to join a religious order.
    You see I was baptized as a Catholic when I was an infant, but only to appease my paternal grandparents. But my parents raised me as an Evangelical Christian and with it came the many teachings that taught me that the Roman Catholic Church has many unbiblical practices, promotes idolatry, etc. Because of your videos I was enlightened to the truths and explanations behind the often misunderstood practices of the Catholic Church, which also lit a fire in me to know more of our Faith. I became hungry for more Catholic teachings. And thanks to RUclips algorithm, because I binged-watched your videos for almost a week, I started seeing video recommendations from channels like Catholic Productions and Word on Fire. Both of these channels, together with your channel Breaking in the Habit, satiates my hunger for more knowledge about our One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
    May you keep on doing the Lord's work Fr. Casey. May our good Lord keep you, bless you, and guide you always in your mission to share the Good News of Jesus Christ through your own unique and adorable way.
    May I ask for a prayer Fr. Casey? That if the Lord really wills it, may he also keep me as I ready myself to entering a vocation as a brother of a religious order. I also want to ask a prayer that may the Lord also lead my parents and sister back to the Catholic Faith using me or others like you.
    AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM!☝️🙏

      The Franciscans , Dominicans , Benedictines and a Marian Order should top your list.

Secondly, yours video make me more understanding my catholic faith,more loving it, and certainly made me a better person... Your style for delivered the message is suitable and comforting for me, so i just hope you just keep on going Father...dont bother all the negative comment, because what i know is more higher the three, than the wind will blow more rapidly, shaking you hard, but if your root stroong, you will survive😊...

I also evangelize in my community and i will sure use things you put in perspective for me and , I’m sure, many Catholics around the world. Remember, in general, we are lazy. Knowing that we are THE church founded by Jesus, put us in a confort spot. Thank God we are starting to wake up. I will see you here. And please keep up. Francis of Assisi is glowing with pride.

    What drew me to your channel is how real you are, how concisely you clarify many situations about our faith, yet with such simplicity for many to understand. Some of us want to have more understanding of our catholic doctrines, but most of what is our there like the catechism, episcopal letters and other resources are so complex and 'theological' we find it difficult to grasp in our naive minds. So thanks for making things easy for us to understand, and thanks for not being afraid to talk about controversial topics coz alot of priests would rather stay in their comfort zone and avoid discussing them. We are in this world and it is what it is, yet we need constant guidance, direction and clarity; to be constantly reminded of our worth, our sacredness, of our purpose. Thanks for not being out of touch with this world. You ministered to me a lot, you strengthened my faith. God bless you. Keep doing what you do. I would watch you for an entire day and more!

    I really wish you could truly understand the impact your channel has had in people’s lives. Your channel as been the reconnecting rod to my faith. It’s made me so appreciative of religious life and now I’m seeking a way to chart my own Franciscan path as a lay member of the church.

    Another excellent video, Fr. Casey. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years, and have definitely noticed the slight shift in tone this year - you seem so much more comfortable with addressing a wider range of topics, and challenging your audience. It’s wonderful to see someone who calls out hypocrisy, speaks for compassion and asks people to really reflect on the source of their actions/beliefs and where they might originate. I’ve seen comments that criticise this (usually falling back on the old, tired ‘don’t be political argument’, which holds no weight, and probably, deep down, comes from their insecurities that their own ‘politics’ jars against the true meaning of the religious faith they profess) but for me, it’s the best thing about your videos - you do not shy away from the difficult topics, but embrace them with intelligence, passion, science and humour. I am not a Catholic and there are some church teachings I just cannot reconcile. However, your videos, and your outlook on life, have certainly shown me a side to this church that I may have previously dismissed. I may not agree with everything the Catholic Church teaches, but I have so much more respect for the fundamentals of your faith, and particularly the work of Friars, and that’s down to the way you present yourself as a spokesperson. Thank you for continuing to offer your insights, and still come across as humble and approachable for outsiders like me.

    What a great reflection. I've loved all the videos this year because they've been very real. Most Catholic media avoids these controversial topics or if they do cover them they take up cliche positions. I love seeing you putting focus on these topics.

    Father I love your videos so much and share them with my friends, I think they are just what the world needs and you have a fantastic camera presence too. I often find that you make perfect videos to send to people who don't really know the Catholic faith either, or have negative presumptions, because I can see them being turned around by your words. Thank you so much!

    I'm so glad you've stuck around here on RUclips.
    I'd say the controversial topics are some of the most important to talk about, because they are the topics people are often afraid to ask about, and so remain conflicted or confused about in silence.
