My late uncle was a priest and missionary in Ecuador. He was holy, a great priest. He used to come back to visit us in Indiana and Ohio once a year. He would celebrate Mass and preach to raise money for his extremely poor families. He was always happy and had a big beautiful laugh. He had to retire due to dementia in 2011, but he still had his beautiful smile and laugh. Occasionally, he recognized us. Once my parents came from out of town to visit him in the nursing home, and completely out of the blue, Fr. Paul called my dad by name! It made us all so happy. I miss them both so much.
Wow, that's cool! I'm pretty sure our uncles were friends at the nursing home for priests in Ohio. Fr. John was a missionary in Chile who retired around the same time, for the same reason, and made friends with another Spanish speaking priest who had been a missionary somewhere in South America which I had remembered as being either Colombia or Ecuador.
@@RaphaelOliphantThis really is a thought provoking comment to me. I have a hard time feeling pity for Judas and I wonder about it. Jesus Himself would have forgiven Judas immediately, had he but asked him even as the guards seizing Jesus, if Judas had wailed or whispered his repentance at the foot of the Cross, or from some distance with any pang of conscience, but Judas either believed his sin was too great to forgive, or he was torn by devils inside his mind... so I don't know if what you say is right or not, I honestly don't and it continues to bother me. I remember one of these exorcists said God would even forgive the devils, if they only repented to let God's grace work in them, but they don't feel any remorse, ever. It seems to me a deeper mystery than I've ever heard discussed on any other channel before. I love this channel for all that it brings up, and for all the beautiful, amazing priest exorcists they invite, and for the other people who comment stuff like you did.
thank you for this interview...I have had many friends that have been turned off by an action or whatever....a Priest doing a human act....we forget that Priests are humans also. They are men, but have chosen a vocation. God bless this wonderful Priest. I love our Catholic faith and our church....even though there are times when I see activities that are not particularly faithful....but I am a sinner also....so my job is to pray for my Priest. יוי
Also, prepare for the spiritual warfare that will come as a result of converting. I found it more intense than anything I have experienced as a Protestant. May our Blessed Mother cover you with her mantle and protect. 🙏
If you lose friends bc of your conversion, they weren't really friends. I can't imagine shunning a friend, especially a family member, bc of their religious practices. I wish you well in your conversion. Jesus and Mary will always be with you to help console you through bad times and celebrate good times☦️✝️
1) Don't judge the practice by the practitioner. Judge the practitioner by the practice. 2) "Dude! Like, why are you pissed at me? I didn't do anything!". Kind of refreshing to hear a priest talk like a "normal" person now and again. We're not mad at you, father.
When I was in high school, I chose to do my final paper on Catholic clergy who were falsely accused, I couldn't believe the amount of stories I found of priests going through hell because of false accusations. We should pray for those who were sexually abused and we should also pray for the innocent who were falsely accused. My great-uncle was the Catholic priest and he was accused of it when he was a hockey coach in a Catholic School. No proof was found and most players on his team defended him . There are true victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy but I also believe some people took advantage just to try to get money from the church. Thank you for another video!❤️🕊🙏
False accusations are one of Satan's favorite tactics to destroy people. But there is a Scripture that says.... There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed nor concealed that will not be exposed.
Thankyou so much for being a Priest. I'm old enough to remember when so many good Priests were literally scared to appear in public as they might be accosted for the sins of the few. I think this ugliness had to come out, and in many ways I'm not surprised that the Catholic Church was the first & the one that was sacrificed first for an evil that was allowed to take hold. I used to see nuns on the streets in my hometown, Ireland, as a kid. I don't anymore.....I personally knew many who nobody will ever write about that where walking Saints. Anyway, all this to say, thankyou, and I do hope the world appreciates your vocation, because as a believer in the Holy Eucharist, I think you have the most important job wherever you are called, and I just would like to say, there are so very many who know how difficult it must have been to minister to us and be the hands of Jesus for us when we're low or indeed starting out ❤ God bless & protect you always as a Spiritual Father.
I heard Father spoke before about this subject . Was emotional 😢about the person that spat on his face. Very sad. I kept him in my prayers. A lovely Priest
Painful heroic time for priests. And the young priests didn’t join for the vain glory. They became priests in spite of the negative reactions of others including some of their peers. Our Lady allegedly said “Priests are to be like Jesus in the Eucharist, consumed by the people.” May God richly bless them as they choose him daily!
"Losing a friend" - it was meant to happen...God pulling out the weeds in our life. So those people don't matter. But we need to keep praying for their conversion/reversion so they can become part of God's family.

Losing all your friends because of your faith is really a deception. You actually gain God as your best friend, also, you have Mary the Queen of Heaven as your mother and best friend, and you have all the billions of saints as your friends as well as hundreds of billions of angels. You actually have more friends than you can possibly imagine.

It’s just sad that people who do unspeakable things ruin the vocation for those who want to actually do the work of God. When I was young I discerned a religious vocation as a nun. My parents were angry and I was told “You don’t want to be a nun they’re the ones that get abused by the priests!” -_- marriage was ultimately my vocation but I think of the people who have a calling who are dissuaded from their vocation because of what people say
Please Pray for any and all abused people by Clergy. They need to be heard. Put yourself in their position and imagine the shame and fear they went through to worship God.
Yes I feel sorry for those abused by clergy. But its not that Priests are Paedophiles, its more a case of Paedophiles choosing jobs where they have access to Kids like nursing, working in Orphanages, Children's homes, teaching etc. In Ireland the Diocese used to give Farmers money like to but crops equipment etc in return for one of their sons becoming a Priest. So many young men were forced into the Priesthood when they didn't have vocations, also some people forced girls to be nuns.
@@TomClarke-so3fd Thankyou and I did not know that but I certainly can see that happening in the past . It's so important that we all pray for the abused to find forgiveness in their hearts and through Jesus who's waiting for these prayers from His people. Unforgiveness can ruin a person's spirit and I pray that God has special graces for these souls 🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏽
@Richardkasper5822: Of course we pray for the abused. I haven’t met a Catholic in my life who doesn’t shed tears for the abused by the clergy and what they suffered on so many levels. And those who knew about the abuse and did not take action in to protect the victims and possible future victims are also held “liable” and responsible by our Lord.
True. I wonder though, what happens to all the people reporting on other people's transgressions. That goes for msm and even RUclips channels and many fellow Christians. It's so blatant and happens freely, with no thought. It's become normal. Pretty sad.
I have always been amazed at the people who actually believe gossip (initiators of gossip are cluster B personality/sociopath) and even those that further participate in the smear/hate campaigns. It is from evil and usually victimizes people who are trying to be good Christians.
I don't know how your friends could leave you, Father, you're just so likeable. I can only think they didn't want to work on themselves and your being a priest would have been a kind of reminder of that. I can belive those beautiful kids really admire you and are grateful to you and your brother priests for not abandoning them! Holy priests keep us sane, keep us in grace, we're all forever in your debt.
I'm so sorry, Father, for the person and for you that you had to experience such an ugly thing. But on the otherhand, you were able to share in God's passion just a touch. ❤❤❤
In my humble opinion, to blame all priest for what happened and even spit on a priest because of what another priest did, it's a form of racism. Because you are judging everybody for something some did. There are good priest, but they shouldn't carry the burden for others who may be even fake priest, we know some of the priest belong to the enemy who infiltrate the church to do evil. And what they did was not only evil but I consider it demonic. To hurt a child in that way is unforgivable.
Just knowing that my local priest works tirelessly for all of his "spiritual children" just fills me to the brim with respect and admiration. I joined the Church on Easter Vigil 2024 and I thank God that I was given such a wonderful and caring spiritual father. Again, thank you Armor of God for your videos!
My husband's nephew was ordained three years ago. He was always and still is a genuinely nice young person who made the right choice. You can tell by the peacefulness reflected in his attitude.
Father Chris Alar has a fantastic video regarding this issue. The reason people know about this issue currently is because the RCC is the ONLY Church that reports the statistics. Food for thought right. How many keep it quiet? I get those remarks too. It was upsetting at first. Now its just a look of mercy they get from me. For me its a little different. It sucks they have a stigma.

Being a priest today I understand to a certain extent that it must be a heavy burden to bear. For example sometimes in my entourage we talk about priests, bishops and always, inevitably the subject of pedophilia surfaces. It saddens me what they can say. So I learned something, I don't know if I heard it on Armor of God, or the other associated channels... So The other day, there was a guy who had started (to talk about pedophilia within the clergy) and he was very negative. So I told him: I read in the newspaper the other day that 20,000 priests had not committed anything at all. He looks at me with a half-smile and says: "Ouais, there must be some good people in there". His answer pleasantly surprised me. I have recently tried to defend Christian values, I do not go down the street with a microphone like a preacher, nothing so flamboyant. But I strive to do more and do better. God bless all priests and bishops and the nuns too !
„Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;“ (Ephesiens 6:10-18)
I was really touched by Father saying that when being lablled as a pedophile, he was devoted to show to the world that priesthood shall minister and die for his flock. As a catechist in my own parish, Father has exemplified what Catholics should do to testify God's love and gospel despite hardships and sacrifices. Praise to our Lord. Amen 🙏
Thank you for another excellent video. For what it's worth, statistics show (I used to work in law enforcement and criminal justice) there's vastly more public school teachers that are convicted pedifiles but, there's also psychologists, physicians, and civil servants that fit the category than priests. In dealing with thousands of such people, I have never once had a former priest. So, the dioceses have cleaned up but, the American press can still make money by perpetuating the story. Thanks again for everything you do. Pax
So totally off topic. 1000 Apologies. I have a rosary question. The 4th joyful mystery is prophecy of Simeon. But Mary's 1st sword of sorrow is also the prophecy of Simeon. What am I not getting? Thank you for your time!
My Grandmothers family had 4 girls and 2 boys... Both of my great uncles became Priests. One a Parish Priest and One was a Missionary in Bangladesh! And I know that one Aunt was discerning when she met her amazingly pious and good (and funny!) husband. That whole family was brimming with Catholic Faith to the core... What is more... my Grandfathers family was too... His older sister was going to be a Nun, but their father died when my Grandfather was 14.... His sister was just going into her studies, and their mother got very sick. She went back and took care of her mother, but I tell you.. her prayer life and giving nature was that of a Holy Sister. We are SO Thankful for this family.. How did we get so lucky.. I am not sure.. but Thank you God!
In the neighbourhood of Mother Teresa, there was one shop keeper who hated Mother Teresa. Mother went to him and said “Please, give something to eat.” The person looked at Mother Teresa with anger and spit saliva on Mother Teresa's hand. Mother gently wiped the saliva to her sari and said, “Thank you for what you have given for me. Will you give something for my children?” The shop keeper was shocked at the humility of Mother Teresa asked pardon from Mother Teresa. Then on he began to help regularly to the orphan children! Peace begins with a smile
1:06’ Father, you look young. Perhaps you didn’t experience the twentieth century. Two thirds and four years into that century, I came around. Jokes about priests being pedophiles, were common tired and old fare. Every body knew them. I myself never had any problems. My Father met Father Geoghan. He said he was astonished the man ever had been accepted as a priest. He should have never made it past the screening process. I love the Catholic Church ( tho one would never know it by my attendance.) and immediately she is forgiven, because we know the chastised listen, and the scoundrels are removed. Imagine a church where for an entire generation four deep, every single ordained priest is a living saint. DOABLE. Shalom, I like him
May God forgive those who persecute any priest, pray for them & forgive them who want to hurt you, we have had alot of this in Ireland, we are not to judge God will judge us, God bless you Father Walz for your complete honesty dont change who you are & keep doing God's work, what a great interview with a great priest best channel on RUclips, God bless you learning so much from your channel 🙏🌹❤️☘️
It wasn't the fact of paedophiles in the Church which really got people mad. It was the systematic cover up and the vicious attacking and silencing of the victims and their families.
People in the seminaries and monasteries laugh at Pope Pius X but he was correct. The church has been destroyed by the modernist heresy. The only thing left today is Greek Orthodoxy if someone wants to explore a vocation to the monastic life. Or even Zen Buddhism really. At least Zen Buddhists aren’t a bunch of psuedo-intellectual twits.
I knew of 2 brothers, only children of wealthy parents who became priests--one diocesan the other a religious order who was sent as a missionary to the mts of Mexico....
It seems that Jesus is using His Church to teach not only how to be a good priest but why to be a good priest. Sin does not prevail. He promised us that. Be in the win. And use what He taught us, “Get thee behind me, Satan”, this life is not lead by Satan. Jesus leads this life!
Good priests who possess the powers and gifts of God by his grace are worth more than treasures, st faustina was told by an Angel that not even the most powerful angelic princes or seraphims in Heaven who has the power to level and destroy entire galaxies are given the authority to hear confessions and give absolution of sins in the name of Christ, wheras a humble priest can, thats just mindblowing.
Am so terrified of what those people who spit on you because it would not go well with them.. because the word of God doesn't lie...you should not touch Gods chosen people..
I grew up in a small village and have to say every priest that came and went in my village were beautiful souls and new us by name some brought teens on retreats and were loved by us .Please pray for all priests it's much harder now
Ugh Im sorry so many people said that to you. Its true there are bad priests and clergy. There are good and bad in every aspect of life including peoples families. Ive met a lot of wonderful clergy.
I was just watching a clip on fr. John Farao. He stated that Sex is a drug, just like drugs it is used to forget and set aside problems and problem solving. Sex is used for the purpose of control and dominance. Example, wanting to be a priest but not getting the results and the compliments. a mortal man would turn to sex to get the results and feelings. I'm a female, i get this behavior from men all the time. Females on the other hand uses sex if she fails in her academics and work ethics. It is a last resort for survival.👍

Don't leave Jesus because of the sin of Judas.
Exactly. I used this sentence many times due to its profound wisdom.
Well don't hate Judas for what he has done also ,but your hate on the demonic ( I don't like using the word hate that often)😊

Judas worst sin was believing that Jesus wouldn’t forgive his sin and committed suicide. Jesus called him friend, unironically, when He was betrayed.

To be a priest is to be a hero and especially in this time in the Church.
Pray for me as I get ready for RCIA. I’m sure that I’ll lose many friends, and even family members over this conversion.
God bless you and your friends and family. May He continue sanctifying your walk toward our heavenly home. Sending prayers your way!
I hope you find new friends and family in the Lord
Also, prepare for the spiritual warfare that will come as a result of converting. I found it more intense than anything I have experienced as a Protestant.
May our Blessed Mother cover you with her mantle and protect. 🙏
My 3 family members are converting. They lost a few friends BUT gained many. Stay on!

Amen 🙏🏻 to that love it! that how Jesus was when He walked the earth, He said suffer not the Children to come unto me

😮 So sorry that was done to you!
In Krakow? :( Sorry this happened to you.
@@misspeach3755 thank you, but please do not be, a disciple of Jesus understands , forgives and wears this as a badge of honour.
Whyd they spit? @@MtbPoland
Jesus trust you ✝️☦️📿
He has a Daily Wire Leftist Tears tumbler! Coffee Man!!! 😂 Absolutely love it 💯
Just knowing that my local priest works tirelessly for all of his "spiritual children" just fills me to the brim with respect and admiration. I joined the Church on Easter Vigil 2024 and I thank God that I was given such a wonderful and caring spiritual father. Again, thank you Armor of God for your videos!
Great interview, nice words from the father Joshua
What a awesome priest ‘ who’s filled with the holy spirit’ which you can tell he loves being a priest God Bless him and his ministry
My husband's nephew was ordained three years ago. He was always and still is a genuinely nice young person who made the right choice. You can tell by the peacefulness reflected in his attitude.
Father Chris Alar has a fantastic video regarding this issue.
The reason people know about this issue currently is because the RCC is the ONLY Church that reports the statistics. Food for thought right. How many keep it quiet?
I get those remarks too. It was upsetting at first. Now its just a look of mercy they get from me. For me its a little different. It sucks they have a stigma.

Let’s keep on praying harder for good priests like him. Praise be to God, Jesus of Nazareth.
Satan’s goal is to destroy God’s church. Please don’t forget that.
I lost all of my friends when I decided to follow Christ through the teachings of Magisterium, Catechism, and the Catholic Church
AMEN 🙏 Great interview . Lovely kind young priest . My the Lord protect all our wonderful priest and keep them safe 🙏❤ AMEN
Being a priest today I understand to a certain extent that it must be a heavy burden to bear. For example sometimes in my entourage we talk about priests, bishops and always, inevitably the subject of pedophilia surfaces. It saddens me what they can say. So I learned something, I don't know if I heard it on Armor of God, or the other associated channels...
So The other day, there was a guy who had started (to talk about pedophilia within the clergy) and he was very negative. So I told him: I read in the newspaper the other day that 20,000 priests had not committed anything at all. He looks at me with a half-smile and says: "Ouais, there must be some good people in there". His answer pleasantly surprised me.
I have recently tried to defend Christian values, I do not go down the street with a microphone like a preacher, nothing so flamboyant. But I strive to do more and do better.
God bless all priests and bishops and the nuns too !
I’ll be your friend, father! I also need good friends around me
„Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;“ (Ephesiens 6:10-18)
I was really touched by Father saying that when being lablled as a pedophile, he was devoted to show to the world that priesthood shall minister and die for his flock. As a catechist in my own parish, Father has exemplified what Catholics should do to testify God's love and gospel despite hardships and sacrifices. Praise to our Lord. Amen 🙏
Wow! Fantastic interview! God bless Father!!
Thank you for another excellent video. For what it's worth, statistics show (I used to work in law enforcement and criminal justice) there's vastly more public school teachers that are convicted pedifiles but, there's also psychologists, physicians, and civil servants that fit the category than priests. In dealing with thousands of such people, I have never once had a former priest. So, the dioceses have cleaned up but, the American press can still make money by perpetuating the story. Thanks again for everything you do. Pax
Praying for our great and courageous Priests and their consecrated life. 🙏
Father, God bless you ! You are refreshing!
I really enjoy listening to him! Thank you for this interview! Gossip...ugh.
Thanks for listening
I think the coffee is not black enough, God will never allow evil inside. ❤
Thank to Allmighty for each of our priests. Stay strong and faithful, please. Thank you for this conversation.
So totally off topic. 1000 Apologies. I have a rosary question. The 4th joyful mystery is prophecy of Simeon. But Mary's 1st sword of sorrow is also the prophecy of Simeon. What am I not getting? Thank you for your time!
My Grandmothers family had 4 girls and 2 boys... Both of my great uncles became Priests. One a Parish Priest and One was a Missionary in Bangladesh!
And I know that one Aunt was discerning when she met her amazingly pious and good (and funny!) husband. That whole family was brimming with Catholic Faith to the core...
What is more... my Grandfathers family was too... His older sister was going to be a Nun, but their father died when my Grandfather was 14.... His sister was just going into her studies, and their mother got very sick. She went back and took care of her mother, but I tell you.. her prayer life and giving nature was that of a Holy Sister.
We are SO Thankful for this family.. How did we get so lucky.. I am not sure.. but Thank you God!
In the neighbourhood of Mother Teresa, there was one shop keeper who hated
Mother Teresa. Mother went to him and said “Please, give something to eat.”
The person looked at Mother Teresa with anger and spit saliva on Mother
Teresa's hand. Mother gently wiped the saliva to her sari and said, “Thank
you for what you have given for me. Will you give something for my
children?”
The shop keeper was shocked at the humility of Mother Teresa asked pardon
from Mother Teresa. Then on he began to help regularly to the orphan
children!
Peace begins with a smile
1:06’ Father, you look young. Perhaps you didn’t experience the twentieth century. Two thirds and four years into that century, I came around. Jokes about priests being pedophiles, were common tired and old fare. Every body knew them. I myself never had any problems. My Father met Father Geoghan. He said he was astonished the man ever had been accepted as a priest. He should have never made it past the screening process.
I love the Catholic Church ( tho one would never know it by my attendance.) and immediately she is forgiven, because we know the chastised listen, and the scoundrels are removed. Imagine a church where for an entire generation four deep, every single ordained priest is a living saint. DOABLE. Shalom, I like him
May God forgive those who persecute any priest, pray for them & forgive them who want to hurt you, we have had alot of this in Ireland, we are not to judge God will judge us, God bless you Father Walz for your complete honesty dont change who you are & keep doing God's work, what a great interview with a great priest best channel on RUclips, God bless you learning so much from your channel 🙏🌹❤️☘️
It wasn't the fact of paedophiles in the Church which really got people mad. It was the systematic cover up and the vicious attacking and silencing of the victims and their families.
People in the seminaries and monasteries laugh at Pope Pius X but he was correct. The church has been destroyed by the modernist heresy. The only thing left today is Greek Orthodoxy if someone wants to explore a vocation to the monastic life. Or even Zen Buddhism really. At least Zen Buddhists aren’t a bunch of psuedo-intellectual twits.
God bless you father CHRISTO REI
Very interesting and inspiring interview indeed! 🥰 praying for more real and courageous men with pure hearts to be called to priesthood.🙏🙏🙏
I knew of 2 brothers, only children of wealthy parents who became priests--one diocesan the other a religious order who was sent as a missionary to the mts of Mexico....
Honestly we cant judge all priests for these things. Its unfair priests and monks are not all the same so we cant ban Christianity. God bless you.
It seems that Jesus is using His Church to teach not only how to be a good priest but why to be a good priest. Sin does not prevail. He promised us that. Be in the win. And use what He taught us, “Get thee behind me, Satan”, this life is not lead by Satan. Jesus leads this life!
Good priests who possess the powers and gifts of God by his grace are worth more than treasures, st faustina was told by an Angel that not even the most powerful angelic princes or seraphims in Heaven who has the power to level and destroy entire galaxies are given the authority to hear confessions and give absolution of sins in the name of Christ, wheras a humble priest can, thats just mindblowing.
Am so terrified of what those people who spit on you because it would not go well with them.. because the word of God doesn't lie...you should not touch Gods chosen people..
I grew up in a small village and have to say every priest that came and went in my village were beautiful souls and new us by name some brought teens on retreats and were loved by us .Please pray for all priests it's much harder now
Is it fair to claim 7% of priests are evil, based on Judas? I don't think so.
Blessings and graces for this priest ❤❤
Can someone please tell me the name of this priest?
Fr Joshua Waltz
@@spiritualwarfareseries thankyou, I couldn’t quite catch his name in the video. My Protestant wife loved him and wanted to check out more of him 😇 🙏
Very cool to hear this type of stuff. ❤
Cool. Man. Cool.

Thank you .
Thanks!
Thank you so much Jerry for your support! may God bless you! 🙏🏻❤️
Amen n Amen.

Ugh Im sorry so many people said that to you.
Its true there are bad priests and clergy. There are good and bad in every aspect of life including peoples families. Ive met a lot of wonderful clergy.
I was just watching a clip on fr. John Farao. He stated that Sex is a drug, just like drugs it is used to forget and set aside problems and problem solving. Sex is used for the purpose of control and dominance. Example, wanting to be a priest but not getting the results and the compliments. a mortal man would turn to sex to get the results and feelings. I'm a female, i get this behavior from men all the time. Females on the other hand uses sex if she fails in her academics and work ethics. It is a last resort for survival.👍
He just said a cuss word right at the start :/
Where
Thank you, I love 🐕 better much better than 🐈.
Why are some of these priests good looking??? 😫
Why not?
They should be an image of virility, should they not?
