Forgiveness is the most difficult teaching. I never fully understood it until I watched Fr Mike Schmitz video on Forgiveness when he said "you don't have to be friends with that person again or have that person present in your life because if they've hurt you they've demonstrated that they can't be trusted so that would more be foolish than forgiveness. Forgiveness gives us the freedom to move forward. Forgiveness isn't a matter of feeling it’s a decision."
What a powerful sharing Mattie. May God continue to bless, heal and strengthen you and your family. Lord have mercy on the soul of your beautiful sister. What an example she set for us all to follow. RIP Michaela x
I killed my brother in law in defense and was acquitted by a jury I'm a practicing Catholic and I will say from my experience there is a lot of supernatural guilt transcending any civil law with some fear of judgement that remains. On the other hand ; immersing myself in regular confessions does put a tremendous armor against my guilt and wounds from the supernatural guilt.
They can also convert at time of their execution...as this would be their punishment in our world. Few criminals spend life in prison any more, democrats let rap!sts and murderers out early for good behavior...ugh disgusted 🙄 yes forgive but give proper punishment.
Is execution really a punishment if they have converted? Just sounds like a fast track way to heaven, would it not be better them to go out and serve the community to repay for their crimes provided they have generally turned their life around.
I think it would be proper to forgive, and pray for their salvation, as well as pray for justice to be had in this present world……they could be saved and sharing their faith while serving a life sentence in prison , but yes very good example of Him to not be bitter
Every sin is forgiveable, that is in the core of our faith. Every other way is hell. Btw child molestation is not done only by priests, it happens primarily at home by relatives.
@@nemgyuri exactly. Even Judas could have been forgiven if he had have repented and turned back to God. As you say child molestation is prolific in public schools, boy scouts and sports clubs but the media won't report it

Every sin is forgivable. Except rejecting forgiveness.
The bible only mentions one unforgivable sin
@@Davidjune1970 Yes, rejecting divine forgiveness is one understanding of that teaching.
@@sttommore blasphemy against the spirit is the only sin that the bible says is unforgivable
@@Davidjune1970 yes, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is rejecting His Forgiveness
This is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for your loss😞
Man, this gentlemans heart😭😭 i don't know if i could forgive.

Jesus said: "Every sin is forgiven... *except one.* ",So the answer is yes.

Matt I see depression and loss in your eyes. Clinical.
God bless
Heather, I wonder if you are clinically trained?
No
Is the molestation of countless children by catholic priests and the covering up of these crimes by the church forgivable?

His hair is an unforgivable sin for sure
imagine listening to a guy pour out his heart and listen to his grief, and then making fun of his thinning hair.
Cringe.
You could be happier. Matt has a book on that.
