Thank God I converted to Catholicism to marry my husband. He almost left the church but because I had taken the classes to become Catholic I was able to refute his problems with the church. I don’t know if I still could so I’m boning up on Trent’s videos so I can help my husband if he starts to stray again. 🥰 Thank you Trent!!! I owe my marriage being saved to you. And you sent me to other Catholic apologists that also helped. Thank you very much. 🤗
@@enaquasanitas7017 while you have a point, I don’t think we know her whole story. So give her the benefit of the doubt and forgiveness since finding love for Jesus and His Church is a lifelong journey.
@@enaquasanitas7017 sometimes God works through men to convert people. St. Constantine the Great was converted in part out of love for his mother St. Helena
@@enaquasanitas7017 relax! Our Lord does these things, put's people in a position where they can't deny him, if they do then they reject Our Lord. It doesn't matter how or why she came to the Catholic Church.. What matters she has come home to the Church of Our Lord!
There are many churches, Sir. As a person born in this day and age how am I supposed to know which one Jesus appointed? The answer is obvious... a church that teaches and believes what Jesus said is a real church. Just as there were seven churches divided among the region of Asia in the Book of Revelation, chapters 2 - 3. Revelation 3:22 ESV - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” So, how do I find a true church? Simple: I find out if it teaches the Bible without compromise. Jesus said that he did not come to judge but his words will be our judge. John 12:47-48 ESV - 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. If I were to join a Catholic church today I would no longer be able to obey Christ. For he clearly commanded me to eat his body and drink his blood. I would no longer be allowed to drink his blood as a lowly non-priest in the Catholic Church. This is but one of the many ways the Catholic Church disagrees with Jesus. Find a new church, for the words of Jesus Christ will judge you on the last day.
It's OK Trent, my head hurts as well. I'd love to read more of your upcoming books, so please keep writing. I'm here in Dublin, Ireland and we've gone literally insane with the stuff we're feeding our kids minds with. Keep up the good work..!
"Refuting Gay Catholicism" - sounds like a great book title. Sometimes you just need to be blunt, especially in the face of dissenters who do their best to stretch and distort scripture and Church teaching to their own ends
Im truely ashamed of them. The crazy part is that catholics are still considered the more conservative church amongst germans because the german evangelicals are even worse. One of my friends just converted to catholicism because he was fed up with the evangelical nonsense of homosexual female priests (of whom he met one) Eventually conservative christians are going to find their home in catholicism and the rest are going to become protestants and eventually atheists. Even now, catholics outnumber protestants because so many people in the north just left theism as a whole and the catholic south has largely remained catholic
Finally! Been waiting for someone to address this crucial issue since A LOT is bothered that someone who believes that the Church is in error will be taking a huge role in the upcoming synod. Thanks, Trent!
@YAJUN YUAN I guess they start out trusting the Church's teaching, and then start to view this as just an ordinary job over time. Competing with the other clergy. Internal politics is tainted with external politics. If you want to get ahead as a bishop, cardinal, you may use pandering on social issues to elevate yourself. The zeitgeist today is especially favorable to woke politics. People are so eager to hear religious authorities validate their sin. So I'd say it's a form of populist pandering. These priests may have apostasized, but it's also possible they're just excessively worldly, more concerned with their own popularity than the kingdom of God. Presumably they will be called to account for this in short order, either in several years when the Church inevitably finds out that modernist pandering doesn't work and alienates sincere seekers who can smell the inconsistency and flimsiness of their principles; or when they die and are judged; whichever comes first.
"I believe that the sociological and scientific foundations of this teachings is no longer correct" - the Cardinal but we never used sociology or science to articulate the Church's teachings on sexuality
@@vaderetro264 Yes. That is whole point of the concept "natural law." It comes from the nature of things. Or as Hume put it, the is. (I would be hesitant to agree with Hume on anything, but that's just me.) I would argue, along side many great moral theologians, from LaGrange to Pinckaers, that there is no morality based in anything else than what is. Ought is primarily a question of the state of you soul, and the state of your soul is a question of what is.
@@josephmoya5098 But all you've written has nothing to do with the comment about the necessity for Ethics to inform Science. That's why I asked 'did he'? Of course he didn't, because the law of God is not fully revealed in Nature, which means science can't discover or establish moral laws.
I reverted to the Church, there were lots of things I believed were right, and the Church wrong in social issues. There was a period of my life when I thought the Church was wrong on this or that issue. But as I was coming back to the Church, drawing closer to Christ and learning more about the Church's authentic teachings, I realized I was wrong and the Church is right and hence I changed many of my long-held views and opinions. I think the key is to first and foremost be close to Jesus according to the Gospel, and make proper reverence to the Eucharist instead of our own goals or political views in life. We fall into sin every now and then, but we hold on to Christ who is unchanging in truth and who is complete in every way when He gave Himself for us, holding back nothing. And, in all truths that He preaches He wants us to live eternal life, not so that we are happy temporarily as deceived and deceivers. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1: 8-10)
But Rome denies that verse 'if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.' we have no sin, present tense. Rome claims that those in the 'state of grace's have no sin and are 'immacculate' and are righteous in God's eyes because they are internally righteous, with no sin. But Rome denies that concupscience, the inclination to sin is truly sin. But Romans chapter 7 says that concupscience is SIN. The sin that dwells within me. And Galatians says the flesh lists against the Spirit. How could God consider concupscience to be holy and righteous or somehow neutral? How can a attraction to ungodliness, a desire to ungodliness be neutral or holy in the sight of God? Concupscience is sin, so Rome has errored. That is why God declares righteous the ungodly, the ungodly Christ died for, and that He declares righteous those who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Trent Horn talks about the 'church doctrine' but if official church teaching changes, and this Cardinal has authority in Rome not Trent Horn, will Horn salute and accept official Rome teaching? Notice the change on the death penalty. Or the change on NFP compared to earlier centuries. So Rome's ethics changes, just ike it changed on religious liberty and whether heretics should be burned. Not only that, Rome has contradictions of allowing those who teach Molinist and Thomist predestination which disagree, and 'Hopeful Universalism' that we can hope nobody even Judas ends up in hell as ,'Bishop Barron' teaches and the denial of that by professor Ralph Martin at Sacred Heart Seminary who rejects Hopeful Universalism. So there are two disagreements on Salvation doctrines in Rome, which is the 'real'teaching? Not to mention that Trent denies Paul wrote 14 epistles as the North African councils he appeals to taught and he claims that Deutrocanon like Judith can be fictional, even though he cites witters who taught the Deutrocanon books were historical not fictional. And course the American bishops of Rome and the England and Wales bishops have put out statements saying that Scripture can have errors in non salvation teachings Ike history or science, so called 'limited inerrancy'' while other Romanists says that the scripture teaches the truth in everything in teaches 'full inerrancy.' then you have the problem of 3rd Esdras in the Canon - was it passed over, rejected, or passed over and practically impossible to be added in the future to the Canon or would it be a positive thing to recognize 3rd Esdras as a Divinely Inspired book? Then there is the disagreement between Romanists that hold the Church teaches Geocentrism (Robert sungenis) and those who don't think that, and those Romanists that teach theistic evolution or those who teach a young earth, global flood and literal ad and eve, literal Noah, and literal Tower of Babel. And those who hold to Moses authorship of the Torah and those who reject that, and those who hold the Gospels to be eyewitness history and those who reject that, those who hold Matthew wrote Matthew and those who do not, and those who hold Just War and those who hold to pacifism, those who think Paul wrote 14 epistles or 13 or only 7 epistles, the who think special revelation is partly in Scripture and partly in Tradition and those who disagree and say it is wholly in Scripture and wholly in Tradition, whether celibacy is a tradition from the Apostles or is only a discipline, etc. Which is the true 'church teaching' on all these issues of Authority?
I have recently converted from Prot to Cath to avoid this nonsense of Gay Christianity. There must be a way to shut down these bishops, they’re on the highway to hell.
Thank you, Trent! As a Catholic teacher, faced with these issues all the time, your book would be invaluable. God bless you and your ministry. You are the most balanced, charitable, and intelligent Catholic apologist.
Wow! And this Cardinal is a brilliant, learned man, too. This is amazing to me. Why dedicate your entire life to a church - and you don’t believe the teachings? I don’t understand.
@@littlerock5256 Infiltration is a cope. Someday God will ask you why you thought His church would be allowed to be run by Satanic infiltrators... There will not be an acceptable answer that doesnt sound foolish in retrospect. If Satans minions are at the highest level of the church, it's their church. Staying in the church of Satans minions is not really a defendable position. I think people feel like the infiltration argument is a valid explanation for what they are seeing, but it's also a fatal admission and untenable position for a truth seeker.
I saw a post about a 'Pride Mass' for LGBTQ Catholics in Australia. Posted and officially part of the Diocesan bulletin in Maitland-Newcastle. The issue doesn't seem very seriously taken.
The Left fights by infiltrating into a system to gradually change it from the inside. Just as they usually don't create new LGTBQ or minority superheros but instead turn Superman gay and Spiderman black, they don't build their own 'church' but try to assimilate those of their enemies. They not only lack imagination but also the necessary conviction/sincerity to promote their ideas independently.
@@enaquasanitas7017 And when proper LGTBQ or minority characters are created with no Left-wing political connotations, they are usually ignored. Nobody in the Left has ever cared about Marvel characters such as Northstar, Shaman and Puck (all three in the comicbook Alpha Flight) or Black Panther (till recently at least), despite all of them having good potential.
@@enaquasanitas7017 Yes, all they want is power, they don't actually care about human rights and about establishing their own legitimate space. They complain there are not enough gay, black, disabled characters but that's only an excuse to exercise censorship and violence.
@@enaquasanitas7017 The list of good or potentially good black comic characters is quite long. But, you know, too much success in the long term would damage the Left's narrative...
I see the confusion between “what is natural”, and “what occurs in nature” all the time. I explain it like this: A three legged dog can occur in nature. That doesn’t falsify the fact that it is in the nature of a dog to have 4 legs.
But doesn't that prove the other side as well lol. It's saying that there are anomalies in nature. And an anomaly isn't automatically evil but a part of the function of nature
@@Jstaman There is a concept in the natural law that we judge a thing based on how well it fulfills it’s nature or purpose. The dog in this case is suffering a privation from it’s true nature or purpose. It is not being all the dog that it can be, (through no fault of its own). It’s lack of 4 legs prevents it from being as fast or as agile as it may otherwise be. The purpose of a chair is to sit on. If the chair collapses or tips over when we sit on it, we would call that a bad chair. It isn’t fulfilling its true purpose as a chair. With chairs and dogs, there isn’t a moral component, as animals and inanimate objects do not possess a moral dimension. The concept does carry over into human behaviour as well. The purpose of eating is to nourish our bodies. If we eat 20 Big Macs, or drink poison, that is contrary to the purpose of eating. We call that immoral. Now ask yourself what the purpose of sexuality is. The Church teaches that its purpose is twofold: 1: To promote love and bonding within a marriage 2: To promote procreation By unnaturally frustrating either one of the two purposes of sex, the sex act is held to be morally wrong on natural law grounds. One could make the argument that homosexual relations could fulfill the bonding function (debatable but that’s outside the scope of this comment), but it’s obvious that homosexual sex is by its very essence, categorically, fundamentally, incapable of producing offspring and therefore cannot by its very essence fulfill one of the key purposes of sex. It is therefore contrary to the natural law and deemed to be a non-permissible act. We should ask ourselves; is it wise to look to what occurs in nature for human moral guidance? Cannibalism, rape, incest all occur in nature…all run contrary to the natural law.
@@Jstaman To more directly answer your question: Natural Law theory would define “natural”, as something like: “that which allows something to flourish as the type of thing that it is”. The natural law views such “anomalies” as privations, not as equally valid. If an apple tree gets a disease and it can no longer produce apples, we observe that it’s not flourishing as the type of thing that it is. It’s disease has caused a privation in the tree. The diseased tree and and the healthy tree both occur in nature but in natural law theory we do not are not view them as equally positive outcomes. One is flourishing as the thing it is, one is not.
@@displaychicken you bring up a point that has baffled me for years that I've actually posted on this video. What makes homosexuality immoral? The problem is your answer is flawed. If you say it is immoral because it does not bring about (or have the possibility to bring about) offspring then 90% + of all sexual activity even in marriage is immoral. Especially if the people use condoms or other forms of contraception like the pill. Yet the church is quiet on this. The second is bonding. Creating a more perfect union. Homosexuality can do this just as easily as heterosexual relationships and is not at any particular disadvantage in this regard. Most long lasting homosexual relationships have found a balance of strengths and weaknesses to support each other just as a man and woman does and they are monogamous. I do not say this as an argument to put you down or anyone but I am genuinely curious and interested in yhis aspect of the debate that no one seems to address
@@displaychicken in your second comment you bring up the idea of what makes something flourish. On a societal level it is in my opinion undeniable that the structure of the nuclear household is the best for our species to flourish. But when broken down to an individual level that is in some cases detrimental. A homosexual that aspires to live as his heterosexual brethren tend to (statistically) spiral out of control. Becoming mentally unstable and going into depression that often leads them to suicide, or going into a destructive cycle of denying themselves only to binge or even lying to their spouses and cheating on them. If a person is truly homosexual and not able to have a relationship with a woman trying to force them to conform would be extremely harmful to them and whatever poor partner they end up with.
Outstanding commentary, Trent!! You bless all of us, most especially the Faithful in the true Catholic Church!! Thank you for doing what the Dicastery of the Doctrine is supposed to do!! God bless you!!
Thanks God, african and asian bishops and cardinals are there. About moral teachings of the Church, they are the most rigourous. Cardinal Anbomgo from Congo decreeted only faithful catholics will be allowed to teach in primary catholic schools. Of course it is tough on him.
I hope we get the first Black Pope when Pope Francis passes away, African bishops seem to be the only ones who can lead Christ's church in the right direction at the current moment
"I'm putting money on it, that in 20 years people will be defending consensual non-monogamous relationship in the Bible." You took it a step further than me Trent! I've been telling people for months that in one generation, polygamy will be the new same-sex relationships. It's hard to picture it being defended from the Bible, but to be fair I would have said the same thing about SSM 10 years ago.
You are probably correct, but polygamy was practiced in the Bible by prophets and predicted to occur again in the future by Isaiah. Have the popcorn ready.
Honestly I think it’s already happening, or at least starting. I don’t think it’s common, thank goodness, but it certainly happens and gets glorified by some media outlets. So weird
Trent, what are your thoughts on the Philippines being the only other country where divorce is illegal? I'm proud to stand uphold this principle (hopefully it doesn't change soon).. Just sad that my neighbors don't feel the same way Hope you could respond! 😊
Trent, thank you for addressing this issue. I've been trying to make sense out of this since I heard of it. It got me thinking: can moral law actually change? Because I used to think it couldn't, but maybe I was wrong. This made me reevaluate what I thought about Pope Francis changing the teaching on the death penalty. It never bothered me because I am against it, but now I realized it may not be that simple. The Church taught for ages that it could be moral to apply the death penalty, and now it has changed. Has the moral law changed? It also made me think about the laws of the jews. I suppose it is immoral for them to eat certain kinds of meat, and we no longer hold those laws. Was that immoral in the past, and not any longer? Or is it not about moral law at all? If anyone could help me sort this out, it would be much appreciated.
The dietary laws were about health, not morality. Mamy of the jewish laws were in place as punishment due to their disobedience starting when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai and the Israelites were essentially having a naked orgy while worshipping a golden calf. They were not worthy of living the higher standards of the Gospel that Christ taught when he returned. Re: Moral laws have not changed, the problem is the church's "authority" is not applied consistently or uniformly nor has been for a long time. The question is whether the authority can continue to be considered authority if applied inconsistently or if cardinals and bishops are permitted to preach false doctrines to the laity. If policeman are allowed to commit crimes their authority is either removed immediately or the entire police force is corrupted and is actually force for evil rather than good. The moral laws have not changed... The church has.
I think we must distinguish between moral law and specific applications of the law, which may be contextual. The commandment 'do not kill' was as true when the Church accepted the possibility of death penalty (in very particular circumstances) as it is now.
@@enaquasanitas7017 I think you possibly misunderstood Gabriela's question. I don't think she is talking about society's moral ideas. They obviously change. I think she is asking about the Church's moral law or the natural law. There we have to look at the development of Church teaching over time. But development of teaching never involves a complete rejection of something that was previously taught. Development is a matter of deeper understanding not rejection.
I have never know the Church to teach that "it could be moral to apply the death penalty". I have read and heard the Church state that in certain circumstances, if there is no other possible way to keep the population safe, then the death penalty could be applied. My earliest memories of hearing of JP2 was him pleading for people on death row. The attachment to the death penalty in the US is very cultural, not religious. Most Catholics worldwide find the practice barbaric.
A teaching I found that did change quite a bit, was that of suicide. Because today we understand more about mental illness, the Church doesn't necessarily condemn someone who committed suicide. Before, a person who killed themselves couldn't be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
Thanks, Trent, for going for some of the biggest issues in the culture right now. The term “sodomy” is pretty much never used anymore but it’s the word that describes the action that is unambiguously sinful. It’s a lot less confusing than the boilerplate “homosexuality is a sin” that one hears so often.
@@Kitiwake Depends. If you choose yourself to be openly homosexual regardless of acc it's a big fat sin. If it's just temptations then it's not. Otherwise your wrong
@@bn8268 "If you choose yourself to be openly homosexual regardless of acc it's a big fat sin." How so? what's the difference between being a closeted homosexual and an out one? can you support your claims with a Church Teaching or a Bible verse? Genuine questions by the way. I don't know a lot about this topic, so I hope you'll answer me.
@@kenthdavealledbelison1977 Reweiting this response because youtube auto deleted this comment but what I was trying to say was that. What's the difference? Your just commiting the sinful act in your mind. Also as many Saints have said such as I believe St Therese of Liseux has stated that it's so evil that it bothers the demons. As they are angelic in nature they cannot handle such filth and usually tempt the person sks once they give in they flee. Hopefully this answers your worries!
Great video. I don’t understand how the arguments against St. Paul’s condemnation are justified by so-called Catholics. He’s an apostle. Apostles are the ones who Jesus said would receive the Holy Spirit and be infallible teachers of the gospel. You challenge this and you severe apostolic succession and thus the church.
Not that I don’t agree that St. Paul isn’t one of the greatest Saints, teachers, and evangelists, but *technically* he was not one of the 12 Apostles. (Not that I don’t think he was inspired- I do.)
@@EpoRose1 I get what your saying but the counter is that he taught side by side with Peter and other apostles and was never corrected. Plus he was technically ordained by Christ Himself. ( I know you believe Paul was inspired just providing my response to that particular counter should it be used)
@@EpoRose1 He was still individually and personally called by Jesus, and sent (thus an apostle), as an apostle for the gentiles. He is equal, and makes that clear in his epistle to the Galatians. Peter also recognises the authority of his epistles.
There is now way a bishop can justify this stance without first removing prohibitions against masturbation. And, the justification they use would also apply to pornography, bestiality, etc.
I can't figure out how people write books about this kind of thing: if someone comes to me and asks if a certain thing is acceptable, my answer is "No, and here's why, and here are a couple more reasons why if you didn't like that first reason." My whole response might have taken 5 sentences.
Free for all friday topic: How to write a book. As a theology student i also have ideas that i would love to write on and share but have no clue how to go about it.
They talk past each other because more conservative people are still under the impression they can negotiate with the psychos who have captured the institutions. It's just an anti-white slur
I am sure I am not the only person here who thinks this whole topic is Twilight Zone. I mean, the whole fate of the Church -- of our society overall -- will be based on sexuality? Really? That, in its own way, can show why sexual perversions poison the well: When we reduce all human progress, morals, values, and social institutions into which genitals to pursue as the basis of a life-long partnership, that will be humankind's legacy? And apparently, Scripture no longer matters as well? Do we throw out the Bible altogether to live a life of cherry-picked morals instead? Should I share the numerous studies done regarding sexual proclivities, and how when they are perverted, society morphs into moral relativism across many domains -- and not just sexuality? Should we discuss that sexually liberal societies, throughout history, have ended up imploding and turning ultra-violent? Or how about the many campaigns, just in the U.S. alone, to raise awareness about behavioral disorders and mental illness? Or is it actually selective awareness -- that is, we arbitrarily choose what is a disorder and give special treatment to any behavior that gets an equally arbitrary pass on being criticized? To Trent's points in the video -- yes, there are multitude of variables regarding brain function and psychological factors. And just like the insane idea of gender identity being infinitely malleable, or that equity can be applied to every single aspect of society, how in the world can sexuality be equalized in an infinite number of ways? And where is the line? As Trent pointed out, LGBTQ matters just scratch the surface: If the Church changes the teaching on homosexuality -- and which would further burn Scripture to the ground -- where does it go from there? Transgender clergy? Polyamorous priests and nuns? Bible study / orgy nights at the local parish? Beastiality? Videos during the homily about how to prepare for being sodomized when having homosexual intercourse? These are serious questions. I really want to know *where* is the *line*? Do we start having very blunt, explicit conversations about sex acts, so that maybe -- finally -- the point will be driven home about why sexual perversions are psychologically, hygienically, and morally wrong at the end of the day? And no, the purpose of my post isn't to start a comments war -- I sincerely want to understand. I even have my own video on this topic, including similar questions about where exactly do we draw the line: ruclips.net/video/1uP_2EYruNQ/видео.html&lc=UgzkYZ6QIlsdyypNbbN4AaABAg.9Y7w1asY2AF9YC0xtIcNc0 Thank you, Trent, for courageously addressing this topic!
@@marteld2108 The pope just changed the Catechism on the death penalty, claiming that the death penalty is never admissible, despite the Vatican having justifiably executed hundreds of people during the middle ages, when it controlled the Papal States. How is this not error? As Francis himself will tell you, infallibility is a much more complex issue that applies in very specific scenarios. I've even seen bishops get it wrong when describing what those scenarios are. The pope is not necessarily protected from error when modifying canon law or the Catechism. Although he can certainly declare a specific change to canon law or the Catechism as infallible, the mere act of changing it does not guarantee that the change is infallibly true.
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol ....you are wrong. Are you Catholic? "The Vatican executing hundreds of people..." There are plenty of people who sinned and misused their power in the Church. They were wrong for doing so. "Infallibility" means a gift given to the Office of the Pope...God will not allow the Magisterium of the Church to teach error because then there is no way of knowing what is true in faith and morals.

We come out of many closets not just sexual dissociations and sex attractions.. we come out of closets of lies, deceit, hate or anything else we hide in our closets of lots of stuff as we try to think nothing is shameful..
All of this concerns me with the upcoming "synod". I just got back from a synod session at a local Catholic University, and hearing them summarize at the end that the "church needs to change" with strong undertones of being more "inclusive" was a little alarming.
You have to understand this thing is going to change the church and not for the good. This will end up being an open ended license for local bishops to make their diocese they way they want it, like what's going on in Germany. If it comes from Bergoglio it isn't going to be good for the church. He has a head full of heterodox ideas that aren't Catholic teaching. He fully accepts what is going on in Germany. Think of it like this. Think Vatican III.
So what is the Church Magisterium going to do about that Cardinal who does not adhere to the official teaching of Holy Mother Church? Are we going to have cardinals refuting Church teaching with no refutation from the Vicar of Christ whom Our Lord placed over us to feed us?
The bit about what they could do for post-menopausal women. As someone going through early menopause right now, as much as my husband wanted children, it just hasn't happened for us, and may never happen. Does it hurt sometimes, seeing other couples in Mass with their babies of all ages? You bet it does, and some days it hurts A LOT! It's been getting easier, though. As much as it hurts, I feel it's nothing compared to the nightmare that would come from using technology to manipulate something we still know so little about. Instead of using science & technology to understand and help each other, there's many ways we've been using it "fix" either what wasn't broken or what wasn't broken in the way someone thought it was.
If remarrying in any sense is considered adultery by Christ, then how could any church argue for non monogamy. I could definitely see it happening in the future like you said, even now it's crazy
There's nothing new about men loving other men. Traditionally this relationship is called 'friendship'. Jesus said there's no greater love than one dying for his friends, so 'friendship' is not a frivolous type of relationship. Those who promote or tolerate men laying with men, are undermining authentic friendship.
I have a question and it’s not meant to be disrespectful. I have been reading many academic articles that state when translated to the Hebrew or Greek it doesn’t confirm nor approve of same sex activity. Even in the English translated Bibles it mentions more of men and men but it never mentions any other one with women. A few biblical scholars even mention that the men on men would be things such as male prostitution (which you mentioned) and cult like activities. Basically my question is are their some references in Hebrew or Greek that I could study to get some clarity on this? I’m sort of questioning stuff and I want to continue to study on my own to find the answer.
@@dansaber8435 See above what I put in quotes. "Love" is not just "love". There are in fact true loves and false loves. "Love is love" purposely obscures that fact.
Yeah it seems like most of the priests around my part of the world, could pass as a gay man if they weren't celibate. Except for the african priests. They are the masculine priests we need in authority
On John J. McNeill, from the New York Times: "McNeill was expelled from the Society of Jesus in 1987 at the request of the Vatican, but remained officially a priest. He was openly gay, and in 2008 he married Charlie Chiarelli, his long-term partner."
Finally Trent you grew some balls and started talking about serious issues within the church. I stopped watching your channel awhile back when you made that video saying you weren’t gonna talk about the controversies in our Catholic Church. You have a voice and we need people like you to call these heresies out and break them down so people know the truth!
Zero chance you've been paying attention to Trent, because this type of video is in no way a change in course for him. What he was talking about in the video you reference is that he didn't want to have his channel turn into yet another "scandal of the day" breakdown channel. Plenty of other ones do that already, and while those can be entertaining, they don't bring good and truth into the world, they mostly bring fear and anger (I watch plenty of them, so I know). Trent is honestly above that. So, yeah, your comment doesn't even make logical sense.
@@adamrad2220 you have made my point I did say I stopped paying attention to Trent for some time… 🤷 and the video I’m referencing is from early last year I believe.

Glad you've come back to watch an episode! It's fine line as to what internal Catholic issues I will talk about. One deciding factor is doctrine vs. prudence. To me this is a clear case of a Church teaching coming under attack, even if the attackers are fellow Catholics. But in other cases it's not about whether a doctrine is true or false but whether an action is prudent or imprudent (like the Latin mass motu propio) and there's lots of people who comment on those questions so another voice isn't needed.
@@TheCounselofTrent Dude there maybe a lot of voices that talk about those issues but few of them have the respect ✊ that you have. When you share your views people listen. That’s what’s different from you and all the rest. I used to follow and listen to your podcast often. But with all the controversies going on in the church and few leaders taking a stand against them and when you really weren’t addressing those issues was disheartening. But I hear what your saying. Hey your a big reason I got deeper into Catholicism, thank you for what you do 👍 and keep up the good work.
I believe that Cardinal Hollerich and others of a similar view are undoubtedly coming from a place of love but they are misguided. They need to understand that the greater love is to gently correct sinful activities and to bring souls to the right (and narrow) path. As Christians we are called to love which is a sacrifice not an indulgence in sin.
I heard it stated recently that love, in its truest form is impossible without the Spirit of God dwelling in you, because God himself is love. Everything the world calls love apart from that is simply an excuse to live a life contrary to the word and standards of God Almighty! True love ONLY exists in the context of the fellowship of a believer and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

@@diegobarragan4904 If you are not a Catholic then your comment was uncharitable. The Orthodox Church also has problems, but I don't write sarcastic comments about it.
Your Pope is Ok with homosexual priest , cardinals , bishops . I heard from your catholic watchman The Vortex said that here in America are over half clergy in your church are homosexuals and many are being groomed in seminary's . So i wonder if you still call your catholic religion so right and holy ?
Would some Catholic that knows what they are talking about, tell me how a priest, someone that is in a position of authority and someone who is supposed to teach and believe Catholic teaching, is allowed to be openly gay without being sacked? I don't get it. If you are in a corporate position and you can't follow rules, you wouldn't last long. A priest is supposed to preach sin and lead his people to heaven. Isn't that the purpose of the Catholic Church? What an example.
What about the homosexuals at the time of Christ or the early church? We’re they not required to repent? Homosexuality is never okay. Period. Sorry bishop but you are incorrect
But who are we to question the Cardinals word? are we really so stuck in our ways to think we are above all of this simply because it’s tradition? Does God not love all his creations equally?
This is the only channel with a silent intro… I always reach out to my phone to turn the volume up 😅 Over 70% of German Catholics are in opposition to the churches teaching on sexuality. This and the fact that there are no convincing reasons for why homosexuality is wrong drives the church to take a different stand. Trent should take his ‘intellectual’ hat of and simply try compassion 😊 he is not convincing anyone…
It all boils down to what God says about sexuality, marriage, and homosexual behavior. Its not about what WE think or feel. If you’re Catholic and don’t like Church teaching AND refuse to understand it, then become a Protestant, I’m sure they’d love to have you. The entire foundation of Protestantism is interpreting the teachings according to your feelings and the changing of the times. 🙄😒

There are many churches, Sir.
As a person born in this day and age how am I supposed to know which one Jesus appointed?
The answer is obvious... a church that teaches and believes what Jesus said is a real church. Just as there were seven churches divided among the region of Asia in the Book of Revelation, chapters 2 - 3.
Revelation 3:22 ESV -
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
So, how do I find a true church?
Simple: I find out if it teaches the Bible without compromise.
Jesus said that he did not come to judge but his words will be our judge.
John 12:47-48 ESV -
47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
If I were to join a Catholic church today I would no longer be able to obey Christ. For he clearly commanded me to eat his body and drink his blood.
I would no longer be allowed to drink his blood as a lowly non-priest in the Catholic Church.
This is but one of the many ways the Catholic Church disagrees with Jesus.
Find a new church, for the words of Jesus Christ will judge you on the last day.
@Guess Work
First of all, I will believe and Obey Jesus Christ and I have no interest in my opinion...
Now, I'll read the rest of your comment.
It's OK Trent, my head hurts as well. I'd love to read more of your upcoming books, so please keep writing. I'm here in Dublin, Ireland and we've gone literally insane with the stuff we're feeding our kids minds with. Keep up the good work..!
"Refuting Gay Catholicism" - sounds like a great book title. Sometimes you just need to be blunt, especially in the face of dissenters who do their best to stretch and distort scripture and Church teaching to their own ends
"What Gives Rise to this Dissent" as a title (at 10:44) is even better
Or you could say jewish Catholicism. Same thing.
We took our teachings from the Jewish I don’t see your point
Great title for a horrible book.
Im truely ashamed of them. The crazy part is that catholics are still considered the more conservative church amongst germans because the german evangelicals are even worse. One of my friends just converted to catholicism because he was fed up with the evangelical nonsense of homosexual female priests (of whom he met one)
Eventually conservative christians are going to find their home in catholicism and the rest are going to become protestants and eventually atheists.
Even now, catholics outnumber protestants because so many people in the north just left theism as a whole and the catholic south has largely remained catholic

@YAJUN YUAN Apostasy.
@YAJUN YUAN I guess they start out trusting the Church's teaching, and then start to view this as just an ordinary job over time. Competing with the other clergy. Internal politics is tainted with external politics. If you want to get ahead as a bishop, cardinal, you may use pandering on social issues to elevate yourself. The zeitgeist today is especially favorable to woke politics. People are so eager to hear religious authorities validate their sin. So I'd say it's a form of populist pandering. These priests may have apostasized, but it's also possible they're just excessively worldly, more concerned with their own popularity than the kingdom of God. Presumably they will be called to account for this in short order, either in several years when the Church inevitably finds out that modernist pandering doesn't work and alienates sincere seekers who can smell the inconsistency and flimsiness of their principles; or when they die and are judged; whichever comes first.
My dad is a deacon and was told he could no longer give homilies to the English Mass because he was too blunt... We in the Spanish Mass love it
That’s such a shame / sounds like your dad is saying and doing the right things
That is sad.
"I believe that the sociological and scientific foundations of this teachings is no longer correct" - the Cardinal
but we never used sociology or science to articulate the Church's teachings on sexuality
Because as Hume rightly stated, "you don't derive an ought from an is."
Ethics is supposed to inform what is to be done with science, not vice versa.
@@richvestal767 Well, Aquinas says otherwise, so...
@@josephmoya5098 Did he?
@@vaderetro264 Yes. That is whole point of the concept "natural law." It comes from the nature of things. Or as Hume put it, the is. (I would be hesitant to agree with Hume on anything, but that's just me.) I would argue, along side many great moral theologians, from LaGrange to Pinckaers, that there is no morality based in anything else than what is. Ought is primarily a question of the state of you soul, and the state of your soul is a question of what is.
@@josephmoya5098 But all you've written has nothing to do with the comment about the necessity for Ethics to inform Science. That's why I asked 'did he'? Of course he didn't, because the law of God is not fully revealed in Nature, which means science can't discover or establish moral laws.
Title idea:
"Straightening Things Out: A Refutation of Gay Catholicism"
Brilliant
**Claps slowly**
I reverted to the Church, there were lots of things I believed were right, and the Church wrong in social issues. There was a period of my life when I thought the Church was wrong on this or that issue. But as I was coming back to the Church, drawing closer to Christ and learning more about the Church's authentic teachings, I realized I was wrong and the Church is right and hence I changed many of my long-held views and opinions. I think the key is to first and foremost be close to Jesus according to the Gospel, and make proper reverence to the Eucharist instead of our own goals or political views in life. We fall into sin every now and then, but we hold on to Christ who is unchanging in truth and who is complete in every way when He gave Himself for us, holding back nothing. And, in all truths that He preaches He wants us to live eternal life, not so that we are happy temporarily as deceived and deceivers.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
(1 John 1: 8-10)
I don’t know about you, but general maturity and life experience helped me revert and understand why Church teachings are correct.
Great testimony.
May God bless you.
Amen. I had a similar experience
But Rome denies that verse 'if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.' we have no sin, present tense. Rome claims that those in the 'state of grace's have no sin and are 'immacculate' and are righteous in God's eyes because they are internally righteous, with no sin. But Rome denies that concupscience, the inclination to sin is truly sin. But Romans chapter 7 says that concupscience is SIN. The sin that dwells within me. And Galatians says the flesh lists against the Spirit. How could God consider concupscience to be holy and righteous or somehow neutral? How can a attraction to ungodliness, a desire to ungodliness be neutral or holy in the sight of God? Concupscience is sin, so Rome has errored. That is why God declares righteous the ungodly, the ungodly Christ died for, and that He declares righteous those who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Trent Horn talks about the 'church doctrine' but if official church teaching changes, and this Cardinal has authority in Rome not Trent Horn, will Horn salute and accept official Rome teaching? Notice the change on the death penalty. Or the change on NFP compared to earlier centuries. So Rome's ethics changes, just ike it changed on religious liberty and whether heretics should be burned. Not only that, Rome has contradictions of allowing those who teach Molinist and Thomist predestination which disagree, and 'Hopeful Universalism' that we can hope nobody even Judas ends up in hell as ,'Bishop Barron' teaches and the denial of that by professor Ralph Martin at Sacred Heart Seminary who rejects Hopeful Universalism. So there are two disagreements on Salvation doctrines in Rome, which is the 'real'teaching? Not to mention that Trent denies Paul wrote 14 epistles as the North African councils he appeals to taught and he claims that Deutrocanon like Judith can be fictional, even though he cites witters who taught the Deutrocanon books were historical not fictional. And course the American bishops of Rome and the England and Wales bishops have put out statements saying that Scripture can have errors in non salvation teachings Ike history or science, so called 'limited inerrancy'' while other Romanists says that the scripture teaches the truth in everything in teaches 'full inerrancy.' then you have the problem of 3rd Esdras in the Canon - was it passed over, rejected, or passed over and practically impossible to be added in the future to the Canon or would it be a positive thing to recognize 3rd Esdras as a Divinely Inspired book? Then there is the disagreement between Romanists that hold the Church teaches Geocentrism (Robert sungenis) and those who don't think that, and those Romanists that teach theistic evolution or those who teach a young earth, global flood and literal ad and eve, literal Noah, and literal Tower of Babel. And those who hold to Moses authorship of the Torah and those who reject that, and those who hold the Gospels to be eyewitness history and those who reject that, those who hold Matthew wrote Matthew and those who do not, and those who hold Just War and those who hold to pacifism, those who think Paul wrote 14 epistles or 13 or only 7 epistles, the who think special revelation is partly in Scripture and partly in Tradition and those who disagree and say it is wholly in Scripture and wholly in Tradition, whether celibacy is a tradition from the Apostles or is only a discipline, etc. Which is the true 'church teaching' on all these issues of Authority?

The issue doesn't seem very seriously taken.
The Left fights by infiltrating into a system to gradually change it from the inside. Just as they usually don't create new LGTBQ or minority superheros but instead turn Superman gay and Spiderman black, they don't build their own 'church' but try to assimilate those of their enemies. They not only lack imagination but also the necessary conviction/sincerity to promote their ideas independently.
@@enaquasanitas7017 And when proper LGTBQ or minority characters are created with no Left-wing political connotations, they are usually ignored.

I see the confusion between “what is natural”, and “what occurs in nature” all the time.
I explain it like this: A three legged dog can occur in nature. That doesn’t falsify the fact that it is in the nature of a dog to have 4 legs.
But doesn't that prove the other side as well lol.
It's saying that there are anomalies in nature. And an anomaly isn't automatically evil but a part of the function of nature
@@Jstaman There is a concept in the natural law that we judge a thing based on how well it fulfills it’s nature or purpose.
The dog in this case is suffering a privation from it’s true nature or purpose. It is not being all the dog that it can be, (through no fault of its own). It’s lack of 4 legs prevents it from being as fast or as agile as it may otherwise be.
The purpose of a chair is to sit on. If the chair collapses or tips over when we sit on it, we would call that a bad chair. It isn’t fulfilling its true purpose as a chair.
With chairs and dogs, there isn’t a moral component, as animals and inanimate objects do not possess a moral dimension. The concept does carry over into human behaviour as well.
The purpose of eating is to nourish our bodies. If we eat 20 Big Macs, or drink poison, that is contrary to the purpose of eating. We call that immoral.
Now ask yourself what the purpose of sexuality is. The Church teaches that its purpose is twofold:
1: To promote love and bonding within a marriage
2: To promote procreation
By unnaturally frustrating either one of the two purposes of sex, the sex act is held to be morally wrong on natural law grounds.
One could make the argument that homosexual relations could fulfill the bonding function (debatable but that’s outside the scope of this comment), but it’s obvious that homosexual sex is by its very essence, categorically, fundamentally, incapable of producing offspring and therefore cannot by its very essence fulfill one of the key purposes of sex. It is therefore contrary to the natural law and deemed to be a non-permissible act.
We should ask ourselves; is it wise to look to what occurs in nature for human moral guidance? Cannibalism, rape, incest all occur in nature…all run contrary to the natural law.
@@Jstaman To more directly answer your question:
Natural Law theory would define “natural”, as something like: “that which allows something to flourish as the type of thing that it is”.
The natural law views such “anomalies” as privations, not as equally valid.
If an apple tree gets a disease and it can no longer produce apples, we observe that it’s not flourishing as the type of thing that it is. It’s disease has caused a privation in the tree.
The diseased tree and and the healthy tree both occur in nature but in natural law theory we do not are not view them as equally positive outcomes. One is flourishing as the thing it is, one is not.
@@displaychicken you bring up a point that has baffled me for years that I've actually posted on this video.
What makes homosexuality immoral?
The problem is your answer is flawed. If you say it is immoral because it does not bring about (or have the possibility to bring about) offspring then 90% + of all sexual activity even in marriage is immoral. Especially if the people use condoms or other forms of contraception like the pill. Yet the church is quiet on this.
The second is bonding. Creating a more perfect union. Homosexuality can do this just as easily as heterosexual relationships and is not at any particular disadvantage in this regard. Most long lasting homosexual relationships have found a balance of strengths and weaknesses to support each other just as a man and woman does and they are monogamous.
I do not say this as an argument to put you down or anyone but I am genuinely curious and interested in yhis aspect of the debate that no one seems to address
@@displaychicken in your second comment you bring up the idea of what makes something flourish.
On a societal level it is in my opinion undeniable that the structure of the nuclear household is the best for our species to flourish.
But when broken down to an individual level that is in some cases detrimental. A homosexual that aspires to live as his heterosexual brethren tend to (statistically) spiral out of control. Becoming mentally unstable and going into depression that often leads them to suicide, or going into a destructive cycle of denying themselves only to binge or even lying to their spouses and cheating on them.
If a person is truly homosexual and not able to have a relationship with a woman trying to force them to conform would be extremely harmful to them and whatever poor partner they end up with.
It's so refreshing to hear the truth about our beautiful faith, Trent. We need so many more like you. God bless and keep you safe.
Outstanding commentary, Trent!! You bless all of us, most especially the Faithful in the true Catholic Church!! Thank you for doing what the Dicastery of the Doctrine is supposed to do!! God bless you!!
Thanks God, african and asian bishops and cardinals are there. About moral teachings of the Church, they are the most rigourous.
Cardinal Anbomgo from Congo decreeted only faithful catholics will be allowed to teach in primary catholic schools. Of course it is tough on him.
I hope we get the first Black Pope when Pope Francis passes away, African bishops seem to be the only ones who can lead Christ's church in the right direction at the current moment
There's multiple african priests in my parish here in Mexico and they are GREAT. As you said, very clear, they don't sugar coat stuff.
"I'm putting money on it, that in 20 years people will be defending consensual non-monogamous relationship in the Bible." You took it a step further than me Trent! I've been telling people for months that in one generation, polygamy will be the new same-sex relationships. It's hard to picture it being defended from the Bible, but to be fair I would have said the same thing about SSM 10 years ago.
You are probably correct, but polygamy was practiced in the Bible by prophets and predicted to occur again in the future by Isaiah. Have the popcorn ready.
make that 10, maybe even 5 years.
Honestly I think it’s already happening, or at least starting. I don’t think it’s common, thank goodness, but it certainly happens and gets glorified by some media outlets. So weird
Sadly I think it's possible the monogamy itself will be persecuted, as it was presented in Brave New World

Hello from Nigeria!.
Nice one Mr Trent.
Trent, thank you for addressing this issue. I've been trying to make sense out of this since I heard of it. It got me thinking: can moral law actually change? Because I used to think it couldn't, but maybe I was wrong. This made me reevaluate what I thought about Pope Francis changing the teaching on the death penalty. It never bothered me because I am against it, but now I realized it may not be that simple. The Church taught for ages that it could be moral to apply the death penalty, and now it has changed. Has the moral law changed?
It also made me think about the laws of the jews. I suppose it is immoral for them to eat certain kinds of meat, and we no longer hold those laws. Was that immoral in the past, and not any longer? Or is it not about moral law at all?
If anyone could help me sort this out, it would be much appreciated.
The dietary laws were about health, not morality. Mamy of the jewish laws were in place as punishment due to their disobedience starting when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai and the Israelites were essentially having a naked orgy while worshipping a golden calf. They were not worthy of living the higher standards of the Gospel that Christ taught when he returned.
Re: Moral laws have not changed, the problem is the church's "authority" is not applied consistently or uniformly nor has been for a long time.
The question is whether the authority can continue to be considered authority if applied inconsistently or if cardinals and bishops are permitted to preach false doctrines to the laity.
If policeman are allowed to commit crimes their authority is either removed immediately or the entire police force is corrupted and is actually force for evil rather than good. The moral laws have not changed... The church has.
I think we must distinguish between moral law and specific applications of the law, which may be contextual. The commandment 'do not kill' was as true when the Church accepted the possibility of death penalty (in very particular circumstances) as it is now.
@@enaquasanitas7017 I think you possibly misunderstood Gabriela's question. I don't think she is talking about society's moral ideas. They obviously change. I think she is asking about the Church's moral law or the natural law. There we have to look at the development of Church teaching over time. But development of teaching never involves a complete rejection of something that was previously taught. Development is a matter of deeper understanding not rejection.
I have never know the Church to teach that "it could be moral to apply the death penalty".
I have read and heard the Church state that in certain circumstances, if there is no other possible way to keep the population safe, then the death penalty could be applied.
My earliest memories of hearing of JP2 was him pleading for people on death row.
The attachment to the death penalty in the US is very cultural, not religious. Most Catholics worldwide find the practice barbaric.
A teaching I found that did change quite a bit, was that of suicide. Because today we understand more about mental illness, the Church doesn't necessarily condemn someone who committed suicide.
Before, a person who killed themselves couldn't be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
well time to call for a change in cardinals then
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
What this cardinal is proposing is horribly UNFAIR to everyone else who has given up their sins to be a part of the Church.
Exactly!
These people should be ex-communicated from the church and stripped of their tiles
I wonder if Pew is going to do the poll as to how many Catholics left the Church as young adults only to have come back to the Church as older adults?

As they are angelic in nature they cannot handle such filth and usually tempt the person sks once they give in they flee. Hopefully this answers your worries!
@@bn8268 yes. Temptation isn't an act. That's why it's harder to sin with thought.
Great video. I don’t understand how the arguments against St. Paul’s condemnation are justified by so-called Catholics. He’s an apostle. Apostles are the ones who Jesus said would receive the Holy Spirit and be infallible teachers of the gospel. You challenge this and you severe apostolic succession and thus the church.
Not that I don’t agree that St. Paul isn’t one of the greatest Saints, teachers, and evangelists, but *technically* he was not one of the 12 Apostles. (Not that I don’t think he was inspired- I do.)
@@EpoRose1 I get what your saying but the counter is that he taught side by side with Peter and other apostles and was never corrected. Plus he was technically ordained by Christ Himself. ( I know you believe Paul was inspired just providing my response to that particular counter should it be used)
@@EpoRose1 He was still individually and personally called by Jesus, and sent (thus an apostle), as an apostle for the gentiles. He is equal, and makes that clear in his epistle to the Galatians. Peter also recognises the authority of his epistles.
There is now way a bishop can justify this stance without first removing prohibitions against masturbation. And, the justification they use would also apply to pornography, bestiality, etc.
One of the many words the secular world has twisted into its own, and illogical people believe in it.
I can't figure out how people write books about this kind of thing: if someone comes to me and asks if a certain thing is acceptable, my answer is "No, and here's why, and here are a couple more reasons why if you didn't like that first reason." My whole response might have taken 5 sentences.
Free for all friday topic: How to write a book.
As a theology student i also have ideas that i would love to write on and share but have no clue how to go about it.
The last part is so Brave New World.
A clarification on the word nature may be a good video topic. Like the word racism, people disagree on the definition and talk past each other.
They talk past each other because more conservative people are still under the impression they can negotiate with the psychos who have captured the institutions. It's just an anti-white slur
Has Francis publicly corrected Hollerich's public statements?
I am sure I am not the only person here who thinks this whole topic is Twilight Zone. I mean, the whole fate of the Church -- of our society overall -- will be based on sexuality? Really?
That, in its own way, can show why sexual perversions poison the well: When we reduce all human progress, morals, values, and social institutions into which genitals to pursue as the basis of a life-long partnership, that will be humankind's legacy? And apparently, Scripture no longer matters as well? Do we throw out the Bible altogether to live a life of cherry-picked morals instead?
Should I share the numerous studies done regarding sexual proclivities, and how when they are perverted, society morphs into moral relativism across many domains -- and not just sexuality? Should we discuss that sexually liberal societies, throughout history, have ended up imploding and turning ultra-violent?
Or how about the many campaigns, just in the U.S. alone, to raise awareness about behavioral disorders and mental illness? Or is it actually selective awareness -- that is, we arbitrarily choose what is a disorder and give special treatment to any behavior that gets an equally arbitrary pass on being criticized?
To Trent's points in the video -- yes, there are multitude of variables regarding brain function and psychological factors. And just like the insane idea of gender identity being infinitely malleable, or that equity can be applied to every single aspect of society, how in the world can sexuality be equalized in an infinite number of ways? And where is the line?
As Trent pointed out, LGBTQ matters just scratch the surface: If the Church changes the teaching on homosexuality -- and which would further burn Scripture to the ground -- where does it go from there? Transgender clergy? Polyamorous priests and nuns? Bible study / orgy nights at the local parish? Beastiality? Videos during the homily about how to prepare for being sodomized when having homosexual intercourse? These are serious questions. I really want to know *where* is the *line*?
Do we start having very blunt, explicit conversations about sex acts, so that maybe -- finally -- the point will be driven home about why sexual perversions are psychologically, hygienically, and morally wrong at the end of the day?
And no, the purpose of my post isn't to start a comments war -- I sincerely want to understand. I even have my own video on this topic, including similar questions about where exactly do we draw the line: ruclips.net/video/1uP_2EYruNQ/видео.html&lc=UgzkYZ6QIlsdyypNbbN4AaABAg.9Y7w1asY2AF9YC0xtIcNc0
Thank you, Trent, for courageously addressing this topic!
The Church will not and cannot change its teaching on Homosexuality. God will not allow the Magisterium to teach error-“Infallibility of the Pope.”
@@marteld2108 The pope just changed the Catechism on the death penalty, claiming that the death penalty is never admissible, despite the Vatican having justifiably executed hundreds of people during the middle ages, when it controlled the Papal States. How is this not error? As Francis himself will tell you, infallibility is a much more complex issue that applies in very specific scenarios. I've even seen bishops get it wrong when describing what those scenarios are. The pope is not necessarily protected from error when modifying canon law or the Catechism. Although he can certainly declare a specific change to canon law or the Catechism as infallible, the mere act of changing it does not guarantee that the change is infallibly true.
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol ....you are wrong. Are you Catholic? "The Vatican executing hundreds of people..." There are plenty of people who sinned and misused their power in the Church. They were wrong for doing so.
"Infallibility" means a gift given to the Office of the Pope...God will not allow the Magisterium of the Church to teach error because then there is no way of knowing what is true in faith and morals.
*Luxembourgish cardinal (not German)
I thank God for my Luxembourgish ancestors who handed down their orthodox Catholic faith to me through the generations.
This is an authority issue, if the bishops, and Pope Francis would make it clear that if you openly defy Church teaching, you will be defrocked.
I can't understand why this isn't a thing already. How can you openly teach contrary morals to church teaching, and it be no big deal?

All of this concerns me with the upcoming "synod". I just got back from a synod session at a local Catholic University, and hearing them summarize at the end that the "church needs to change" with strong undertones of being more "inclusive" was a little alarming.
You have to understand this thing is going to change the church and not for the good. This will end up being an open ended license for local bishops to make their diocese they way they want it, like what's going on in Germany. If it comes from Bergoglio it isn't going to be good for the church. He has a head full of heterodox ideas that aren't Catholic teaching. He fully accepts what is going on in Germany. Think of it like this. Think Vatican III.
So what is the Church Magisterium going to do about that Cardinal who does not adhere to the official teaching of Holy Mother Church? Are we going to have cardinals refuting Church teaching with no refutation from the Vicar of Christ whom Our Lord placed over us to feed us?
Refuting the Rainbow.
That should be the title of your new book!
Incredibly sad and disturbing to think how modern the European Church has become.
Praying their eyes are opened to the truth!
The bit about what they could do for post-menopausal women. As someone going through early menopause right now, as much as my husband wanted children, it just hasn't happened for us, and may never happen. Does it hurt sometimes, seeing other couples in Mass with their babies of all ages? You bet it does, and some days it hurts A LOT! It's been getting easier, though. As much as it hurts, I feel it's nothing compared to the nightmare that would come from using technology to manipulate something we still know so little about. Instead of using science & technology to understand and help each other, there's many ways we've been using it "fix" either what wasn't broken or what wasn't broken in the way someone thought it was.
If remarrying in any sense is considered adultery by Christ, then how could any church argue for non monogamy. I could definitely see it happening in the future like you said, even now it's crazy
More modernism heresy.
There's nothing new about men loving other men. Traditionally this relationship is called 'friendship'. Jesus said there's no greater love than one dying for his friends, so 'friendship' is not a frivolous type of relationship. Those who promote or tolerate men laying with men, are undermining authentic friendship.
Yeah exactly. Men have trouble bonding with other men nowadays for fear of appearing “gay”.
When we love someone, we don't take or support them into sin. That applies to us heterosexuals as well though.
Don’t wait for 20yrs,give it 2-5 yrs for it to get to the point where people will want to marry their dogs!

I have a question and it’s not meant to be disrespectful. I have been reading many academic articles that state when translated to the Hebrew or Greek it doesn’t confirm nor approve of same sex activity. Even in the English translated Bibles it mentions more of men and men but it never mentions any other one with women. A few biblical scholars even mention that the men on men would be things such as male prostitution (which you mentioned) and cult like activities. Basically my question is are their some references in Hebrew or Greek that I could study to get some clarity on this? I’m sort of questioning stuff and I want to continue to study on my own to find the answer.

Pride goes before a fall.
On John J. McNeill, from the New York Times: "McNeill was expelled from the Society of Jesus in 1987 at the request of the Vatican, but remained officially a priest. He was openly gay, and in 2008 he married Charlie Chiarelli, his long-term partner."

Finally Trent you grew some balls and started talking about serious issues within the church. I stopped watching your channel awhile back when you made that video saying you weren’t gonna talk about the controversies in our Catholic Church. You have a voice and we need people like you to call these heresies out and break them down so people know the truth!
Zero chance you've been paying attention to Trent, because this type of video is in no way a change in course for him. What he was talking about in the video you reference is that he didn't want to have his channel turn into yet another "scandal of the day" breakdown channel. Plenty of other ones do that already, and while those can be entertaining, they don't bring good and truth into the world, they mostly bring fear and anger (I watch plenty of them, so I know). Trent is honestly above that. So, yeah, your comment doesn't even make logical sense.

@@adamrad2220 you have made my point I did say I stopped paying attention to Trent for some time… 🤷 and the video I’m referencing is from early last year I believe.

I’m saying that when you have a voice and platform like his use it to call out the garbage happening in the church.
Glad you've come back to watch an episode! It's fine line as to what internal Catholic issues I will talk about. One deciding factor is doctrine vs. prudence. To me this is a clear case of a Church teaching coming under attack, even if the attackers are fellow Catholics. But in other cases it's not about whether a doctrine is true or false but whether an action is prudent or imprudent (like the Latin mass motu propio) and there's lots of people who comment on those questions so another voice isn't needed.
@@TheCounselofTrent Dude there maybe a lot of voices that talk about those issues but few of them have the respect ✊ that you have. When you share your views people listen. That’s what’s different from you and all the rest. I used to follow and listen to your podcast often. But with all the controversies going on in the church and few leaders taking a stand against them and when you really weren’t addressing those issues was disheartening. But I hear what your saying. Hey your a big reason I got deeper into Catholicism, thank you for what you do 👍 and keep up the good work.
I believe that Cardinal Hollerich and others of a similar view are undoubtedly coming from a place of love but they are misguided. They need to understand that the greater love is to gently correct sinful activities and to bring souls to the right (and narrow) path. As Christians we are called to love which is a sacrifice not an indulgence in sin.
I heard it stated recently that love, in its truest form is impossible without the Spirit of God dwelling in you, because God himself is love. Everything the world calls love apart from that is simply an excuse to live a life contrary to the word and standards of God Almighty! True love ONLY exists in the context of the fellowship of a believer and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Wow..thanks Trent
Trent, would you see about doing a debate with Jen from Fundie Fridays. She has over 250,000 subscribers who are mostly former Christians. She focuses on a certain ministry and picks it apart, a lot of her assertions we'd agree with.

Would some Catholic that knows what they are talking about, tell me how a priest, someone that is in a position of authority and someone who is supposed to teach and believe Catholic teaching, is allowed to be openly gay without being sacked? I don't get it. If you are in a corporate position and you can't follow rules, you wouldn't last long. A priest is supposed to preach sin and lead his people to heaven. Isn't that the purpose of the Catholic Church? What an example.
What about the homosexuals at the time of Christ or the early church? We’re they not required to repent? Homosexuality is never okay. Period. Sorry bishop but you are incorrect

Over 70% of German Catholics are in opposition to the churches teaching on sexuality. This and the fact that there are no convincing reasons for why homosexuality is wrong drives the church to take a different stand.
Trent should take his ‘intellectual’ hat of and simply try compassion 😊 he is not convincing anyone…
It all boils down to what God says about sexuality, marriage, and homosexual behavior. Its not about what WE think or feel. If you’re Catholic and don’t like Church teaching AND refuse to understand it, then become a Protestant, I’m sure they’d love to have you.
