Father, you are 100% right. I admire you for speaking the truth, and I wish that every Priest, would do the same. If our clergy don't uphold, and defend the Faith, who will?
Matters of principle can never be determined by concensus. The referendums never should've happened, and I don't blame the clergy. Their involvement should more be as adviser to the civil authorities on a personal level rather than to grandstand. The politicians are elected because they're supposed to know better - and certainly many do - but to let such categorically unsound measures proceed is a political failing rather than a religious one.
" In a time of deceit,telling the truth is a revolutionary act" We cannot be quiet and cowardly about widescale social abortion,it destroys innocent lives and vaporizes the social structure. Thanks for your words Fr Kilcoyne.
the world needs more outspoken priests like you Fr Kilcoyne. I believe it is a priest duty to speak about the evil that separates us as Catholics. By not talking about it does mean the issues will go away. Thank you, Fr Kilcoyne!
Thank you, Father, I like your candid conversation.. I was born in Ireland, had a good upbringing in the Catholic Faith, emigrated to North America at 19 years of age. Life has been very good, I’m now 74 years old and seeing the past changes both good and bad, your honest conversation is so refreshing and I admire your honesty , amidst confusion and deceit all around us. God bless.
Thank you Father Brendan for speaking the truth about evictions, abortion which is destroying women as well as the wee ones - it is truly an industry. God bless you.❤
Politics should be bedded in morality, good morality at that. Abortion for example is a moral issue. The Church is fully entitled to speak on issues of morality even within the political sphere. During post world war years, one German Cardinal said that if a German was starving they were entitled to steal food to keep body and soul together. I think priests and the church are fully entitled to speak publicly on moral and ethical issues. Good podcast, thanks Father Brendan
Father, you are fulfilling your duty by reminding people about the evil of Infanticide. No matter the cost, be one layman, laywoman, Priest or religious we must defend the Faith when necessary. Matt 10 32-33 Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
I think that your priests had been beaten down into silence by bullying bishops, especially in the north. My husband Tommy remembers that the priests in Fermanagh were kept on a very short lease, especially during "the troubles" as he grew up.
We need more courageous priests and bishops in Ireland who will stand up for God and country.May the Holy Spirit keep you on the path of our brave St Patrick👃
Father. I will giadley stick with you . I appreciate your position and the difficulties you find your self but you stick with us too.I first stood against Abortion in 1982 and have been on the road ever since. We still need to help the young women in need at the start ad all the way through it , no girl should feel her life is over because of a little innocent baby Many men young and not so old need to be made aware of responsibilities . Keep the faith. We need you. God Bless.
"People often say, with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics. ' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future. '... If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics." - Martha Gellhorn
Father your position shld be the default position for every ordained priest in the Catholic Church and shame on those who do not speak out for fear of the wolves. Thank you Father ❤
Fr Brendon you make a good argument why we should respect life and the most innocent and why abortion is so cruel I don’t know why anyone could accept it. Thanks for been so vocal on the issue Fr
I admire your passion for life and see in it your grief at the slaughter of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters, and your sadness for many of the women who feel it's their only option. I've counselled some of those women and I've seen at first hand the relief of those who chose to accept the help, material, emotional, psychological and practical that organisations like Gianna Care offer. Included in that help are those who have been traumatised by the violence of the act. They know that they will receive love and support and the opportunity to heal. I have never had to make that choice and I have nothing but compassion for those who have. There go I but for the grace of God. But it's the normalisation of abortion as a 'right' and a 'choice' that is the greatest evil. Also the industrial scale of it that horrifies me. , Keep up the good work, Fr, it's fueled by love of God and His children. I genuinely cannot understand Catholics who support abortion, and see it as a woman's right. I don't judge their hearts but I do wonder at their blindness in not seeing it for what it is: the killing of human beings and the degradation of humanityt: The right to life is the principle upon which all other hjuman rights' depend. Once that is taken away, hell follows
No explanation needed Father,calling out Marxism is the job of a priest. Unfortunately too many people failed to see the seeds of communism that were sown in this country about 20 yrs ago and still fail to see it now that it’s at the door. God Bless you Father🙏
Because we are not a purely mystical religion, but an Incarnational one we must always be involved in these issues. But always on the side of truth, otherwise it is hell on earth, and it is becoming more so.
God bless you Father Brendan. We need this moral guidance, I sense as a very flawed human, that we have lost the sense of evil as a force in the West. Perhaps the fate of Western morality based on Christianity having survived dungeon, fire and sword, is facing anaesthetic challenge where debates can no longer be robust for fear of offence.
100% Fr. Brendan. The world is in the dark and sorry state it is today because people lost sight of what evil is and as such did not speak out loudly and consistently against it. You are correct; for better or worst politics infuses itself into ever aspect of our lives, whether or not we realise it, let alone acknowledge it. Abortion = MURDER, simple as. In my humble opinion, it should very much form part and parcel of what each and every good Priest has to say i.e. it's utter condemnation. God bless and protect you Fr. Brendan. Onward and upward! - 🙏🙏🇮🇪🙏🙏
Father, it's not about politics. Not only priests but all Catholics must speak out against sin. We need to be willing to stand up for God and not bow to blackmail of any sort.
@@patriciajohnson1894 I agree about abortion, but have an issue with the church's standing on gay people. The church says we're all children of God, so by definition that includes gays who didn't choose to be born this way. Being attracted to the same sex is not an illness, you can't cure it or pray it away. Therefore it must mean that God created them for this way on purpose, whatever that purpose might be. As far as I'm concerned they can marry who they wish, as long as it's another consenting adult, and they don't hurt anyone. I'm against them having children though as it's not natural for two men or two women to procreate. Children need a mother and a father and nothing can replace that.
You are spot on, father! Priests absolutely need to be involved in politics! The reason why we are currently in a such terrible mess is (at least partially) caused by priests being silent and NOT involved in politics. The main purpose of the Church is to provide spiritual and moral guidance to people, to the masses. To bond people and communities together and to work like a cement in the structure of the society. But the Church is terribly failing in this mission, it has become too comfortable, ecumenical and "nice". It doesn't offer either of these things and that's the reason why church attendance is dropping. Young people and especially young men don't want to attend old ladies Sunday gatherings. The clergy and the laity need to man up and stand for their core principles. No matter how unpopular it will be and how many labels we earn. As your, father, I am also dreading the political development in the United States. If the "progressives" remain in power, we will see dreadful inhumane things. They are already talking in their euphemistic newspeak about "post-natal abortion", which is essentially a murder, an infanticide. "Assisted departure" on demand = euthanasia, again plain murder. And this is only one part of the marxist / fascist / globalist agenda. There are terrible policies lurking just behind the corner. Economical, cultural, international, interracial, medical, ...
Abortion is the most important issue of our time and so many Catholics ate indifferent or even supportive of it It's murder and we need to do everything we can to fight against this evil. How we vote matters.
Huge difference between iron curtain suppression of Christianity and Marxist S American Priests, Polish Priests weren’t Politians as were S American Clerics, must remember where Saint John Paul was coming from, Polish people were really in fear of a Hungary/ Check like invasion because of Solidarity
John-Paul II raised the PUBLIC HERETIC Walter Kasper to the cardinalate, he started the Assisi prayer meetings which seemed to contravene the First Commandment, he prayed that St John the Baptist should 'protect Islam' (not muslims but Islam) etc etc. John Paul II has got to be THE worse pope apart from Paul VI and Francis.
Fr. Please do not say 'sorry' for speaking the TRUTH. Didn't Jesus say 'The Truth will set you free' He, Jesus, died for the Truth and died to set us free.. The 10 Commandments are as relevant today as they were when given. Lord, save us from this 'woke'' 'satanic' culture. Be strong. The Battle is won.
People lack a honesty about themselves. Truth is plain and simple. You have two options. Accept it or refuse it. But don't go to church pretending to be catholic and tell priest what they should or should not to say ( because it is offensive) you are either catholic or pro abortion, can't be both. You are either part of freemasonry or Catholic, can't be both. You are either communist or Catholic, can be both. So make up your mind and do not pretend. I am tired of this hypocrisy. We are all sinners but don't try do adjust truth to your sinful ways, rather seek the truth and conform to it.
Excuse me... dramatic pause... I don't want drug dealers operating in schools either. I agree, no to priests and drug dealers in schools. Now can you show me one school that has been overrun by drug dealing teachers pushing drugs on the kids? I can show you a list of schools that shows abuse by priests. Your argument in that last video came across as we are bad but don't worry the others are worse. A slippery approach that won't win any favours and if not called out, as history demonstrates its a very dangerous slippery slope.
You are excused, Unsub or come back next week for the greatest irish content on youtube. How many kids missing from tusla? This year? 2023 2022 How many kids not even get a breath of air ? Excuse you,nah fuck off .

If only all Priests and Christians had the courage not to shut up. Thank you Fr.
I will be sticking with you Fr. Brendan. We need a voice like yours. God bless.
Bravo Father! Thanks you for your courage. God’s people need to be led towards salvation.
We need priests in Canada like you.
There’s always a pallet on our floor for Fr Brendan. Thank you.
A priest with a spine....bravo👏👏👏👏👏
Yes Fr Brendan. I am telling everyone you are a hero of mine. I am constantly praying for priests to take back their authority.
Thank God for priests like you❤
Thanks Father for speaking up! 🙏🏻
Father, you are 100% right. I admire you for speaking the truth, and I wish that every Priest, would do the same. If our clergy don't uphold, and defend the Faith, who will?
The saddest thing was the silence of priests before and after the abortion referendum. The sheep need their Sheppard, God bless you Fr Brendan

I agree with you Eilis. The lion’s share of priests were timid about speaking out against that horrible referendum.

I am glad you as a priest are not afraid to speak out when needed about the big issues. Many priests no longer do.
Great talk Fr Brendan very interesting .
The prophet Nathan spoke truth to King David! Keep up the fine work Father!
Well said
An excellent podcast Fr. Brendan. Keeping priests away from politics is akin to keeping boiling water out of the teapot when making tea.
Father, you are fulfilling your duty by reminding people about the evil of Infanticide.
No matter the cost, be one layman, laywoman, Priest or religious we must defend the Faith when necessary.
Matt 10 32-33
Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
💯 correct Father !!!!
Thank you father, it seems more often the opposite is the problem in our diocese. Not enough it said.
Praying for you Fr. The silence of our poor priests was scandalous during the abortion referendum.
I think that your priests had been beaten down into silence by bullying bishops, especially in the north. My husband Tommy remembers that the priests in Fermanagh were kept on a very short lease, especially during "the troubles" as he grew up.

Kudos Father, in love, we must rage against the culture of death that in our 'enlightened' age countless multitudes of martyrs may given a voice.
Congratulations Father, we got no pre referendum advice from the pulpit nor any consolation after the referendum result.
Interesting comment, 'we are always in Salvation until we die'.
The rows , arguments and falling outs I’ve had with friends and family over the abortion issue! I won’t shut up on it either.
Well said Father. Would you talk sometime on the subject of separation of Church and State, as I don't understand it. Thank you.

Hello father ,I would be grateful for your advice on the best version version of the bible to read for a Catholic 🎉
The tragedy is most priests are afraid to preach the catholic faith for fear of their congregation or their bishop?
I sincerely hope that the church steps into the political conversation, the church has hidden from these topics for way too long.
