What percentage of Catholic priests are homosexuals?

Providence that I found you on you tube! What a love fest for Jesus you created at this parish! God bless you in your next assignment!

I watch on the west coast…grateful all these good peeps can keep watching their good father Pat.

One of a kind. We need more priest like him. God bless you Fr. Patrick. 🙏🕊✝️🤗

GOD blessyou Fr.Pat

It is so wonderful to know this priest is so loved

God bless you, Father Pat.

I’ve been watching Fr Pat on TH-cam for a while, and as a parishioner in Lakewood I was over the moon when I heard he was coming here. But my heart also hurts for you losing him. ❤🙏

This is a direct contradiction of God's word. This is the doctrine of the damned.

Well said, Father! Eucharistic revival will come if the sublime miracle on the alter is communicated with over the top respect! It is in the details that you provide during Mass. thank you!

Jon, your wonderful sense of humor will be one of your greatest gifts as a priest. You're in my prayers.

God bless you, Father . The issues you mentioned are so relevant .

They need to get back to the right way, on tongue only. We should not touch the holy Eucharist. They need to stop changing everything. Keep it the same

It is incontrovertibly clear that Christians received Christ in the Holy Eucharist in the hand for the first 800 years after the death of Our Lord. Christ “gave” the Eucharist to the apostles, He did not place it on their tongues. Christ did not say, “Here, let me put this on your tongue...” He said, “Take this and eat of it...” (Matthew 26:26) Apart from scripture, many other references are recorded in antiquity. If you read the Church Fathers, it is beyond a doubt that early Christians received Communion in the hand. As a matter of fact, they have provided us with some insights into how the early Christians received the Holy Eucharist. Here are a few examples: St. Cyril of Jerusalem (313-386): In his Catechetical Lectures, St. Cyril described the manner of receiving the Eucharist in Jerusalem. He instructed the faithful to approach with their hands formed in the shape of a cross, receive the Eucharist in their hands, and then consume it. He emphasized the reverence and care with which one should handle the Eucharist, saying, "Approaching, therefore, come not with thy wrists extended, or thy fingers spread; but make thy left hand a throne for the right, as for that which is to receive a King." St. Ambrose of Milan (337-397): St. Ambrose wrote about the practice of receiving the Eucharist. He considered it a sign of humility and submission, stating, "You receive the Sacrament with the hollow of your hand, and take it with your mouth, your hand thus serving as a patent." He believed that receiving on the tongue was a fitting way to approach the sacredness of the Eucharist. St. Basil the Great: St. Basil the Great, an influential theologian of the fourth century, discusses the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "On the Holy Spirit." He writes, "When you go to receive Communion, approach with your right hand open and extended, making your palm a throne for the King, and receive the body of Christ, saying, 'Amen.'" Tertullian: Tertullian, an early Christian writer from the second and third centuries, mentions the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "On Prayer." He writes, "The flesh is nourished with the body and blood of Christ...the hand receives the Eucharist, and the mouth is filled." St. John Chrysostom: St. John Chrysostom, a prominent theologian and bishop of the fourth century, references the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his homilies. In one of his homilies, he states, "When you approach to receive Communion, place your hand beneath your other hand, and receive the body of Christ, saying, 'Amen.'" St. Cyril of Alexandria: St. Cyril of Alexandria, a prominent theologian and bishop of the fifth century, discusses the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "Commentary on Luke." He explains, "Approaching, therefore, do not come with your hands extended or with your fingers apart, but making your left hand a throne for the right, which is to receive the King, and in the hollow of the palm receive the body of Christ, saying, 'Amen.'" Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus: The Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus, a third-century liturgical text attributed to Hippolytus of Rome, provides instructions for the Eucharistic celebration. It states, "The faithful shall receive the offering after the presbyters from the bishop or the deacon. And they shall take it with reverence, giving thanks to God, and shall hold it in their hands, and shall say, 'Amen.'" St. Ephrem the Syrian: St. Ephrem the Syrian, a theologian and hymnographer from the fourth century, mentions the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in one of his hymns. He writes, "I saw the Lord giving the disciples his body and his blood in their hands." St. John Damascene: St. John Damascene, a theologian and hymnographer from the eighth century, discusses the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "Exposition of the Orthodox Faith." He writes, "When you approach to receive Communion, make of your left hand a throne for the right, which is to receive the King." St. Augustine: St. Augustine, a renowned theologian and bishop of the fourth and fifth centuries, mentions the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "Sermons on the New Testament." In one of his sermons, he states, "You are to approach [the Eucharist] with open mouth, holy hands, and attentive heart." St. Gregory of Nyssa: St. Gregory of Nyssa, a prominent theologian and bishop of the fourth century, references the practice of receiving Communion in the hand in his work titled "On the Baptism of Christ." He writes, "He who mystically represents the hand of Christ receives the body of Christ." St. Jerome: St. Jerome, a theologian and biblical scholar of the fourth and fifth centuries, comments on the practice of receiving Communion in his work titled "Commentary on Matthew." He writes, "When you approach to receive the body of the Lord, respond 'Amen' to the priest, and with your right hand receive the sacred body." These examples highlight the historical evidence and understanding of the early Christian practice of receiving Communion in the hand. They demonstrate that the faithful would approach the Eucharist with reverence, open hands, and a heartfelt response to faith. And then of course, there is the “health concern” that comes with communion on the tongue. If people wish to receive on the tongue, then they should wait until the end of the communion line and receive then. Communion on the tongue exposes the minister’s hand to the communicant’s bodily aerosol and/or fluids, increasing the possibility of viral infection. The minister should sanitize their hands before and after distributing Communion on the tongue. Communion on the tongue should not be given in areas with very high spikes in local infections (eg. cold and flu outbreaks). (As an aside, in our parish we have a rather aged extraordinary minister of the Eucharist who has Parkinson’s Disease and trembles uncontrollably, who distributes communion on a regular basis. Many people are reluctant to go to him for fear of contracting a disease through contact with someone else’s saliva from this minister’s hands.) Some clerics will tell you that the Eucharist should only be touched by “consecrated hands”. My only counter to the argument of “consecrated hands” is, “Has your tongue been consecrated? Has your stomach, (or any of the other parts of your body that I cannot mention here), been consecrated?” If your priest or bishop takes this approach, which part of your body does he consider to be fit to host the King of Kings? Pope Francis says the Church is a field hospital and that She has a miracle drug called the Eucharist, but that all her ministers seem reluctant to give it out. We have come up with all sorts of reasons not to administer to the sick. If those clerics who tell you communion on the tongue is the only acceptable way to receive Our Lord, truly present in the Holy Eucharist, then I guess Jesus Christ, his apostles, Scripture, the early martyred Christians, the Early Church Fathers and the rules that conduct the Holy Mass, are all wrong. How does one rationally argue against any of this? I think I shall stick with Communion in the hand, it is in keeping with Church regulation and is much healthier for me. It's the way Christ instructed us to do it!

This man is clearly a homosexual

Amen 🙏🙏 Amen 🙏 🙏Amen 🙂😌🛐✝️

8 seconds in and I'm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fr Pat spends much time on the possible loss of fragments of the host but I believe this is a red herring issue unless you're in a country where matzo wafers are broken and distributed but in every Mass I've attended they use the standard rigid wafer which does not easily break or fragment. The focus should be on the extreme reverence which is shown by someone who kneels with clasped hands and their body posture reflecting worshipful gratitude for the sacrament of Holy Communion, the body of Christ. I've heard numerous other Trad Catholics speaking on this subject focus on fragments being lost which should not be presented as the main argument, it's the worshipful veneration of and extreme reverence for Christ's body and what His life giving body and blood means for all those who have put their faith in Him

As someone who is discerning going to seminary and God willing becoming a priest this is very comforting, thank you Father!

Im about to convert to Catholicism, thank you so much Father!

I never thought of seminarians commuting; I always thought they lived on campus. Anyway, it's heartwarming to see you have so much fun. It's nice to see that seminarians can be both students and boys at the same time. But you must have more than once class per day...

My daughter has been asking to wear a veil to mass. In doing research and asking others who wear veils, I was told to watch this homily. We were at a different mass that day. What a beautiful homily. This is a great homily for young and old women to listen to. Thank you for your passion Fr. Pat!

What a beautiful message. My husband and I have decided to take our faith into a deeper more reverential relationship. We were baptized in the church of Christ but are now attending mass with our children. Finding resources like yours is an encouragement and certain blessing. Lord bless you and those who have helped make your lessons available online. Thank you!

I wish that all Catholic Priests had the courage to preach the truth about homosexual behavior. I also think that Priests should condemn fornication and cohabitation. So many young Catholics are living together nowadays. They don't realize that premarital sex is a serious sin. Why aren't more Priests addressing these issues in church on Sundays? I personally believe that some Priests are afraid to preach the Biblical truth about human sexuality. They don't want to offend parishioners who are living in sinful relationships. As a faithful Catholic, I've rarely heard a sermon like this one. We need to pray for all clergymen to boldly speak God's truth.

I’m a Somali Catholic and I’ve started receiving the Lord on the tongue. The person giving the communion (I’m sorry can’t think of the name, I’m still new to the faith) sometimes makes faces or sanitize their hands right after giving me communion. Even my own husband discourages me from receiving the Lord on the tongue. I will never stop, I’m now going to incorporate kneeling as well. If we Catholics want to change the Church, we need to change ourselves first.

Never wanted a priest to say mass for me. I’ve always wanted to say my own mass I have just had to put up with it my whole life and not complain I asked Jesus why He did not want me to be a priest and I think the answer he gave was that I did not have the intelligence to be one Lhave for many years experienced the spiritual world and the good side is beautiful and glorious but the bad side is filled with horrors

I LOVE THIS!!! 💔I love You Jesus!!

Thank you fr.!

I wish I could kneel for Holy Communion, it’s reverent and fitting, to kneel before Christ in his house, I’ve had two knee replacements and am unable to kneel So I stand… I’m old school and was brought up to know the the Sacred Host should only be given on the tongue to recipients.

Even when you fell so hard back into your old ways?was i ever really saved

Thank you Fr. God bless you 🙏.

Amen✝️🙏🏻

...'Once you taste it, there's no going back'...greatest love story ever told. Jesus, thank you.

The only true Christian procession was from Gethsamen garden to thd Calvary. The other one will happen when the Lord come back to collect His saints. No catholic will be in the second procession because they redicule the invaluable sacrifice of the LAMB of GOD by their rituals, novena and rosary etc.

God bless you father

Appreciate you at Damascus. Newly confirmed and it was my first visit. Amazing that we have this blessing in our backyard!

When we kneel , bend our knees , we lower ourselves before our Saviour so He can raise us up . Humility
