@@EpoRose1 yes well, hopefully we can one day heal that schism. I believe that difference is even bigger than the filioque.
Just wanted to say Trent that after being a Catholic for about 3 years now, you are my favorite apologist. You are so kind yet firm and intelligent with all of your answers and criticisms to people.
God bless you. May the Spirit of Truth continue guiding you brother🕊
@@tony1685 Yes, of course we believe John 14:15. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus and has the Spirit of Truth as promised by Jesus. The Catholic Church understands the Spirit of the Commandments and the Church teaches them more perfectly. You're hung up on a Saturday Sabbath day. Don't kid yourself. You don't follow the Sabbath as ordered in the OT.
_"...after being a Catholic for about 3 years now..."_
Why did you decided to begin literally worshiping ritual human sacrifice, cannibalism, and rape?!?
@@tony1685 you must be 7th day Adventist or a Jew?
According to 2 Thess 2:15 there are many traditions that have been passed down by word of mouth by the Apostles, and the Sabbath celebration to Sunday is one. John 21:25 tells us that not everything has been recorded in scripture, so we go by both scripture and liturgical tradition passed on by the Apostles and their disciples that followed.
We do not worship on the Sabbath, which according to Jewish law is the last day of the week (Saturday), when God rested from all the work he had done in creation (Gen. 2:2-3). Catholics worship on the Lord’s Day, the first day of the week (Sunday, the eighth day); the day when God said “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:3); the day when Christ rose from the dead; the day when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles (Day of Pentecost). The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: “The Church celebrates the day of Christ’s Resurrection on the ‘eighth day,’ Sunday, which is rightly called the Lord’s Day” (CCC 2191).
The Sabbath, which represented the completion of the first creation, has been replaced by Sunday, which recalls the new creation inaugurated by the Resurrection of Christ” (CCC 2190). Sunday is the day Christians are bound to keep, not Saturday.
We see evidence of this in Scripture:
On the first day of the week when we gathered to break bread (The Holy Eucharist) Paul spoke to them because he was going to leave on the next day, and he kept on speaking until midnight (Acts 20:7).
On the first day of the week each of you should set aside and save whatever one can afford, so that collections will not be going on when I come (1 Cor. 16:2).
Let no one, then, pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or Sabbath (Col. 2:16).
The Catechism also says:
By tradition handed down from the apostles which took its origin from the very day of Christ’s Resurrection, the Church celebrates the Paschal mystery, which day is appropriately called the Lord’s Day or Sunday. The day of Christ’s Resurrection is both the first day of the week, the memorial of the first day of creation, and the “eighth day,” on which Christ after his “rest” on the great Sabbath inaugurates the “day that the Lord has made,” the “day that knows no evening.” (CCC 1166)
And personally, I know Catholics that celebrate more than just on Sunday. If you look at our liturgical calendar, it is jam packed with celebrations on everyday of the week. Things like novenas, Liturgy of the hours, Adoration, and Mass happen constantly, every day, at all hours. That's how great our faith is. You can't get caught up on this Sabbath day thing, what you need to do is have a daily devotion to God, all the time, not just one day.
Thank you and God bless!

_"...there are many traditions that have been passed down by word of mouth by the Apostles..."_
The "apostles" are fictional characters created by Paul.
The Jesus story began in 48 AD with the first of the Pauline Epistles (which comprise nearly half of the New Testament books) when Paul realized the Daniel 9:25 prophesy of a messiah expired without fulfilling so he made one up decades later and set the story decades in the past to make the prophesy seem true.
The fulfillment of the Daniel 9:25 prophecy written in 444 BC was the test of the true messiah. By 48 AD it was known that the prophecy of a messiah coming in "seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" had not occurred on the prophesied date.
"Seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" is, 7 plus 60 plus 2 equals 69 total weeks. One prophetic week equals seven biblical years of 360 days (the Julian calendar was created centuries later), so 7 times 69 equals 483 total biblical years beginning with Artaxerxes' decree in 444 BC. Those 483 biblical years equal 173,880 days, or 476 Julian years. Therefore the Messiah would come and be "cut off" in AD 33. One prophetic week equaling seven Biblical years is something “Daniel” invented in about 165 BC, effectively an admission that Jeremiah 25:11-12 failed.
Paul made up the entire Jesus story and added historical figures, locations, and events to add authenticity.
Paul's goal was to garner support for the insurrection against the Romans which began in 46 AD led by two brothers, Jacob and Simon, in the Judea province. The revolt, mainly in the Galilee, began as sporadic insurgency until it climaxed in 48 AD when it was quickly put down by Roman authorities. Both Simon and Jacob were executed.
He created the fiction of having witnessed the risen messiah. He wanted to show that the messiah had come as prophesied but was murdered by the Romans. This was to entice the Gentiles to aid in the Jews' rebellion against the Romans.
Instead, he created one of the world's most popular religions that is based on the literal worship of ritual human sacrifice, rape, and cannibalism.
The Gospel authors copied, and embellished, Paul's fiction. None of the Gospel authors, or any other writers, were witnesses to the Bible figure known as Jesus.
My wife and I are some of the very few Catholics that can say we were married outside. Our wedding was scheduled for May 9, 2020 and we were forced to postpone it a month or so before the date for China virus reasons. We rescheduled for August 28, 2020 in conjunction with our parish to have the ceremony in the courtyard next to the church. Even if things calmed down with the pandemic, we still would have had to have the ceremony outside because the parish decided to do a construction project inside during the time when mass was not regularly being celebrated there. Needless to say, I was mad that we couldn't even pop in for a few minutes and take pictures because of the construction. Aside from all the noisy cars driving by, it was very nice and definitely a unique story we have to tell.
If people think Trent is too conservative I don't even want to know what they'll think of me or other "rad-trads" lol
People think it's impossible to be more right wing than me because I prefer monarchy to democracy.
@@crobeastness I prefer theocracies/theonomies
@@apracity7672 well ya but I mean between the 2 more realistic options
My words as well.
My thoughts as well
I think in regards of the first question, far right political stances come from a religious vein. If you are a strong catholic, you will be inherently right wing in a sense. So many Catholic/Christian beliefs have been confused as conservative first, religious second. But not all right leaning opinions are Christian/Catholic.
@Digthepig is that dogma? I have a hard time believing that. I need more explainable on that one
@Digthepig I can see why. They worship him falsely. It's kinda the same as not worshipping him at all. It's a twisted religion. Devoid of God's true desires. Talks about overly sexual things waiting in paradise. The whole religion is very un-wholesome. Not to mention it encourages the killing of Christians specifically.

Whenever I have seen a person's profile and it says Liberal / Progressive for politics and Catholic for religion, it is a countdown before the "Catholic" disappears. Like clockwork.
Exactly.
Sadly you're right
Because they come to finally realize that the Catholic church is diametrically opposed to changing the world to better meet everyone's needs.
@@cb9575It ain’t Catholic Church’s job to change the world for better. It is also bullshit that the Catholic Church or Christianity in general hasn’t changed the world for better.

There should be no link. We are a secular republic, not a theocracy.
@@kenofken9458 you’re clearly slow
@@kenofken9458 I would challenge you to substantiate what you just said with the Bible. Seperation of the Church and the State is man made doctrine created by unbelieving pagans that are hell-bound

Thank you Trent 😊
Great episode! Thanks Trent!
Great video. Great "Goonies" t-shirt 😊. I loved that movie as a kid.
When it pertains to a baby out of authentic marriage, I always say the child isn't a mistake; the descendent is perfect, in spite of the imperfect situations it was procreated.
And I reassure the parent(s), do not give up. Keep on growing with your little one(s). Seek the greatest goods, learn always, and remember. . .even though we goof up, we ought to seek a fresh start.
Then, prudently, I will keep them in my prayers and life. . .whether I see them again or not.
Trent, you have welcome words.
Couldn't have agreed more.
Hey Trent,
I know that adultery, formication, and sodomy are all sins on their own, but is it a sin to combine them into one?
Thanks,
The modern left
You mean a married man (to a woman, not necessary to say) having a homosexual relation with a man lover so that it can be simultaneously a case of adultery, fornication and sodomy at once? Yeah, it is sin obviously (and a much graver one - due to the circumstances - than isolated cases of adultery, fornication and sodomy). Sorry if I misunderstood you, but were you really thinking that combining the three could maybe make that behavior somehow become in accordance with God’s norms?

Nothing wrong with being acidified either. Jesus commanded his followers to love those of every pH!🤣
I believe we as Catholic Christians need to be prepared to receive a flood of lost souls resulting from the doubters doubting their doubts.
10:04 I remember seeing a study about how the higher the budget spent on the wedding, the higher the chances of divorce
My wife and I were married in the delivery room by our priest, just hours before our son was born. Our wedding was planned for that day at the church, but she went into the labor. Thank God he left the church, drove to the hospital, and married us.
Thanks!
9:00 Yes, as someone who got married in the Catholic church, I have to say it was the most wonderful and amazing day of my life because I felt God there, I felt His blessing, and there is no other place I'd rather be married. Parks seem nice too, but there is nothing that can compare to getting married in a sacred place like our church! Going on happily married 12 years 🥰
Trent is a wonderful apologist with a beautiful soul🙏
Hey, Trent! Can you do an episode on the ethics of doing medical experiments on people pronounced brain dead? I’m not sure what to think of the doctors in New York recently transplanting pig hearts into two “brain dead individuals.” As Catholics, would we consider them to be dead? If so, is medical experimentation on dead people licit?
Dignity is violated
Yes, I would love to hear his opinion on this. I heard about this and got an eery feeling.
Whether a certain procedure respects the dignity of the person hinges heavily on the consent of that person. A brain dead person cannot give consent unless it were conditionally certified prior to brain death.
Consider the narrative hero who is injured beyond saving and turns to his comrades and says, "go on without me" in an effort to save them. He knows his death is imminent and so wants some good (friends escaping safely) to come of it. His friends being the good guys wouldn't leave him without his insistent and genuine consent.
I think there is a good place to draw the line between his friends leaving him behind with the near certainty his death will come about and his friends shooting him to death before leaving.
Does the procedure being conducted kill the person or is it simply likely to kill the person? These are risks which can only be judged by the individuals who take them on. The ability to make choices for one self and the basis of those choices are part of human dignity. Remember that Jesus went to the cross willingly--meaning that the self sacrifice of life is absolutely permissible for the cause of good.
I think that the only kind of procedures we should do on uncoscious people are ones that have the purpose to heal them or preserve them. You'd bathe and cut the fingernails of comatose people, right?
Anyways if these two braindead bodies didn't need a heart transplant then I don't think they should have done that
A 'brain dead' person is not actually dead. It is a term that was made-up for organ transplanting. An organ from a dead person is not as good as an organ from someone whose blood is still circulating. So they created the term "brain dead" to justify taking organs from people who are still alive. There have been plenty of instances where a person was declared brain dead and then "woke up" from it. Simple answer? Catholics should not consider them dead because they are not dead.
Fr. Gregory Pine put out a video on Matt Fradd's channel titled "Brands that support abortion. Can Catholics still buy?" It goes into an analysis of how to reason through and find an answer to the Disney question.
What's the answer? I don't have time to watch the video
@@mugsofmirth8101 it’s better to just watch the video. You’d get a deeper understanding
@@tony1685 Says the guy that doesn't obey John 6:53
@@mugsofmirth8101 The answer is do not watch Disney. The video essentially says that when we have no choice and are far downstream from the evil, then we can make purchases from companies that support illicit things. So if Walmart, Target, and Amazon all support abortion, and we have no other alternative for buying essential products, then it is licit to shop there. In the case of Disney though, we can find many other avenues for entertainment including Catholic media itself.
@@tony1685 The Holy Spirit is calling you back to His Church.
It would be great to have an apologetic series on Daily Wire that maybe focuses on the history of the church from the very beginning. to modern times.
you could slant it on how governments over time have tried to attack the integrity of the Church and Pope or something like that and how the Church has persevered as well as the Catechism.
They probably wouldn't allow it. The guy who runs the Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, is a stereotypical anti-Christian, anti-white
Michael Knowles and possibly Matt Walsh are the only decent thing about TDW, overall there's a lot of neoconservative talking points that they've pushed for
The DW, while having a strong Catholic presence, isn't Catholic
The Daily Wire is too liberal lmao
They're actually neoconservative which is in fact leftist when you look at their end goals and underlying ideology.
They're Zionist as can be, so yes you're correct
You're trippin
Daily Wire cares about money first and foremost.
@@virtueleague2005 Theyll probably be the first to admit that too. Or at least admit money is a Top 3 motivator.
Trent, we grew up on a very different Disney! It's gone beyond gay day now - I assume you saw the leak of the meeting where they're talking about a conspiracy basically, for lack of a better word, to incorporate 'queer' (their word) propaganda. I don't know why I wrote this because I agree with your remarks.
Trent Horn is EPIC! Don't listen to the whiners.
Hi Trent, I thought dialogue with Jim Warner Wallace might be interesting. For example about his approach to the defense of the resurrection. What do you think about it?
I grew up on tv too, but I don't show my children today's tv. Tv has changed as the culture has changed. The commercials may be the ugliest part. We find old programs with no commercials online, read books and play.
Medieval theme for a wedding in a Church is easy if you go to the right parish.
Bluey is one of the most family friendly shows still on Disney. (and they didn’t make it)
Hey Trent what are you over all thoughts on See U in History / Mythology around their videos of Purgatory?
As always, great commentary! 😊
Is confession still valid if it is heard outside? Most of mine have been at a local priests house or in a garden outside the church.
Trent just said the proper place is in the Church...
Confession can be done outside a church and still be valid. I’m thinking of retreats not done at religious venues, Confession drives, etc. This could be due to scheduling or not having access to church facilities.
Inside a church is the more proper way for the reasons Trent states, but there are exceptions.
In regards to liberal vs conservative - there is always the Catholic doctrine of the social kingship of Christ the King - quite frankly much of liberal ideology is at variance with Christ s social kingship
Toot That Horn,Trent!
Polymary.
The standard scene in the New Testament that includes women.
@YAJUN YUAN uhhh pretty sure it only happens 6 times
@YAJUN YUAN
I wasn't referring to 'woman'. I was referring to the number of woman who are named 'Mary'.
Such as
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother (Mary) and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene
PolyMary. Many Marys.
As for 'woman' referring to Mary... or some other woman, I think this can be known by the context.
Such as
He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.
"His mother" kind of gives away who this 'woman' is.
When a person is addressed as "woman"
Matthew 15:28
Luke 22:57
John 2:4
John 2:4
John 8:10 the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. - ----“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” The 'caught in adultery' gives away that this is NOT His mother.
John 19:26
John 20:13
John 20:15
I cut out Disney years ago because of the way they had their actors say "long live evil" during their commercial breaks while promoting Descendents 2. I was so mad when every one ignored this. TV was completely banished for years after that. Just DVDs. But then when my baby was turning 6, she HAD to have a Frozen DVD. I don't even know where or how she seen any part of that movie. Then came Roku that gave me the impression that we can choose what we want and paying for a $10-15/ month subscription would mean no commercials. Then I relented completely on the Disney ban when the Hulu, Disney, ESPN deal came out. I only allow them to watch what I approve of and I mostly agree with Trent that if we're going to ban 1, we should be consistent and ban everything. We'd have to become hermits and live off the land then. On the other hand, after watching Hulu the other day for the first time in a year, I'll for sure be canceling this subscription soon. A subscription doesn't stop commercials and they are really pushing that "woke" garbage out.
Anyone got a link to the video Trent mentioned where he went on 50 rides on disneyland? I want to see a Trent Horn vlog sounds alot of fun.

Boycott Disney
👍
Disney is CRINGE according to my 13 year old son.
In in my College days I felt A democrat could not be Catholic. I’m now in my mid 50s. Because of the abortion issue. And that was some years ago before people started actually saying that in the last few years. I have many discussions with my grandparents about this who were Democrats but they didn’t seem to think that this was a problem.Never fully understood why
For much of their history in the country, Catholics were heavily, if not almost exclusively, Democrat. Catholic populations - Irish, Italian etc. were mostly working class and concentrated in urban strongholds which were mostly Democrat held. Republicans tended to be the older money and owning classes who were of WASP stock who were often anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic in their leanings.
It’s funny that even in the movie White Christmas, there is a joke about a Democrat being a novelty in Vermont.
@@kenofken9458 Democrats were KKK and KKK hated Catholics so I don't see how any Catholic could end up being Democrat
Am I incorrect on this but I thought Joseph was also a consecrated virgin and bore no children... I feel like Father Calloway describes this too and any "siblings" are cousins of some sort.
I think with disneys pro abortion stance and anti Christian values there's a good argument for boycott
Issues with the left: Abortion, Gay marriage (LGBTQ issues). Issues with the right: Immigration, Climate change. It seems to me that the lefts issues are explicitly sinful whereas the issues of the right, it seems, are a matter of degree and trust (or lack thereof) of scientists and not necessarily sinful.
How are immigration and so-called "climate change" even issues ?
@@mugsofmirth8101 Immigration is an issue because the left, it seems, doesn’t take into consideration the possibility our infrastructure can be overrun. They scoff at the idea that an immigrant can even be illegal! The right seems to want low skilled labor protection for American citizens yet, paradoxically, desires low wage workers. They aren’t necessarily against legal immigration (because it’s fair and serves as a metering device) but at least agrees with the idea there can be illegal immigration.
As for climate change. Some on the right deny it even exists because the science has been politicized. Both the government and scientists have earned their distrust. Many others on the right agree climate change exists but feel there’s nothing that can reasonably be done about it short of resetting the planet.
Mass immigration is definitely bad. There are obviously some negatively effects from the climate changing, but the current regime doesn't want to address them, just to extract rent. The problems with the left is everything, all their bioleninist politics like hating white people and wanting white nations to be destroyed
_"Issues with the left: Abortion, Gay marriage (LGBTQ issues)."_
Issues with Christianity: human sacrifice, rap, and cannibalism.
I condemn ritual human sacrifice, rape, and cannibalism; Christians literally worship them and their savior is a zombie (an undead corporeal revenant created through the reanimation of a corpse).
Ritual Human Sacrifice-
God sent one of his sons to be tortured and killed as a sacrificial offering (a practice adopted from Paganism).
Christians worship a father who sent one of his sons to be tortured and executed (and literally called it as a sacrifice) as part of a ritual intended to appease a god (in Christian theology, atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sin through the death by crucifixion of Jesus).
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son."
1 John 4:10
"This is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
Romans 8:32
"He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all."
1 Corinthians 5:7
"Christ our passover is sacrificed for us."
Romans 3:25
"God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement."
Philippians 2:8
"Christ was humble. He obeyed God and even died on a cross."
Galatians 1:4
"Christ obeyed God our Father and gave himself as a sacrifice for our sins to rescue us from this evil world."
Romans 5:8
"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Hebrews 10:10
"We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rape-
God raped ("overshadowed") Mary while she was engaged to Joseph and while God was married to Asherah, Aholah and Aholibah (who were sisters). God's sons also "ravished" human females and impregnated them.
God sent one of his representatives to tell Mary (who was between ages 12 and 14 at the time), that even though she was engaged to Joseph and frightened by the encounter, that God would impregnate her. A child cannot consent to pregnancy by an authority figure.
The Bible uses the word "overshadow", which is the Greek word, "επισκιάζω" (episkiazó). Some Christians interpret "overshadow" to mean that some sort of mystical cloud or divine wind hovered over Mary and then she became pregnant. But the literal translation of the word is, "to overshadow, to use influence upon by a looming presence (skiá)" and figuratively means "to invest with preternatural (extraordinary, exceeding what is normal) influence". So, the "overshadowing" was God using what the Bible describes as the "extraordinary" coercion of his greater power and status to dominate and overpower Mary's desires and will by forcing his own desire to force unwanted sexual contact from frightened Mary with the intent of impregnating her.
The word Mary uses to accept the command to be impregnated is "ginomai", which means "let it not be, far be it from, God forbid".
In Mary's praise and thanksgiving to God in Luke 1:48 she says, “God has lifted up his humble maidservant.” The Greek word for “humble” is the same one that the Septuagint (the old Greek version of the Hebrew Bible) uses to describe the rape of Dinah in Genesis and other incidents of sexual violation.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Cannibalism is an integral part of Christianity-
John 6:53
"Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever gnaws my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can accept it?" From this time, many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him."
Let's see, with hard anti-immigration factions you have people essentially telling those in need to p*ss off in addition to the visible from space racism that runs through that movement. In the case of climate change, the negligent and willful destruction of a world supposedly given to humanity's care.
If you can't see any potential sin angle there, you've not read any of the Catholic Church's teachings or even the Bible.
Disney and the like are going to keep this up until it hurts them. So just being selective on what they watch won't make any difference. I understand that everything has some evil in it, but we should try our very best to not use or support products that are out in the open and luxury items
Disney knows what it's doing as do many other companies. The homophobic demographic - mostly over 50, male and white, is not exactly the customer base of the future for Disney, or really even a market that makes them much money now.
@@kenofken9458 Irrelevant to my comment
i have already decided that i will raise my kids without disney ( maybe just the classics if the dvds i already own last that long)
My parents wouldn't even let us watch the "classics" of Disney other than maybe Snow White (Mom's favorite) and Jungle Book. Instead, we grew up on VHS tapes and CDs of shows like Veggietales, Clifford, and Bob the Builder. Cable TV was a definite no-go. Mom and Dad screened everything we watched and taped over inappropriate content. I think that is how I will raise my kids if, God willing, I have any. I can't understand allowing your child to watch anything that you have not at least researched first.
I can't in good conscience support Disney anymore. I still piggyback on accounts, but they will not get my money to make more LGBTQ-friendly content.

Trent, thought of a secular argument, I think that could argue on a secular level , against the right to choose, on the abortion issue. Let me say first, I am a devoted Catholic, I believe abortion is an intrinsic evil.
The pro-abortion, I don’t use pro -choice, it’s just sanitizing the language, idea is the it’s a woman’s right to choose. When you look at the statistics as to why abortions happen, 98% boil down to not wanting a baby. That said, should men not also have the right to choose? If it’s about, I don’t want a baby, could not men use the same argument against paying child support. Now Trent, they should. But what I’m really doing is pointing out a flaw in the choice argument.
Yeah it's called financial abortion, Trent has used this argument in some videos. Good job on coming up with it, if Trent uses it you know it's a great argument!
@@tafazzi-on-discord all it really is is turning back the logic of choice. It’s amazing to me, how with a little thought, lousy reason and or logic can be turned on it’s head. Which frankly, with some thought isn’t hard to do with any of this stuff.
@@tafazzi-on-discord it’s also not financial abortion really. Though it’s a good point. It’s an argument against the ideology that the woman is the only one with choice. I will reiterate, the man should pay. But, if it’s really a battle of choice, then in that secular argument, why should the man be forced to pay, if the feminist ideology, is that of choice. It’s not a right or wrong argument. It’s using the secular argument back on those that argue for choice.
@@guypotvin6943 Yeah, I 100% agree!
The real flaw in the "pro-choice" position is that the woman has already made the choice when she engaged in the act which is naturally ordered to likely bring new life into the world. This is why it's so evil when the prochoicers encourage and enable youth to engage in sexual activity who have yet to reach the level of maturity necessary to fully grasp the consequences of their choices.
Life is key. No matter what party you belong to, you can't push or vote for or believe in abortion.
Trent I NEED your suggestion for a book. My good friend is evangelical and wants to know why she can't receive Holy Communion. I've done my best explaining. Thanks

-schism is a sin
-she is schismatic
-1 Corinthians 11:29
We don't want her to recieve judgement when she is in a state of sin
Tell you gotta pay your simony bill! Nobody eats free here!🤣
1 Cor 11:29 says if you partake unworthily you eat and drink damnation on yourself. Most adults have committed mortal sin at some point and to allow her to have Communion without confession would be allowing her do eat spiritual poison so the law is to protect not exclude. Of course receiving absolution in Reconciliation would require her to be Catholic.
Maybe the catechism is a good place to start
Trent does a better job than anyone I know at trying to take bias out of it. It can seem "too conservative" if you look the middle of right policies vs. left policies, but given abortion is the central political issue and the left's position is extreme, immoral, and accepted as normal by all major secular voices. Just look at the term "reproductive rights". How is "reproductive rights" accepted as mainstream language? One can try to secularly argue humanity/personhood post conception but that the reproduction occurs anytime outside of conception is a deliberate lie.
Re: Christ being the cornerstone vs Peter being the rock.
In Ephesians 2:19-22, Pauls states: "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." (NIV) (Note: the letters of Peter also take up the idea of people being stones in the edifice of the Church)
Here, Paul clearly talks about the apostles and prophets being foundations (ie rocks) while at the same time describing Christ as the cornerstone. This passage does not denote anything special about Peter, but along with Peter's letters, it clearly shows how the early Christians saw no competition between Christ being the cornerstone and others also being stones upon which the church is built. Thus, there is clearly no contradiction between Peter being the Rock in Matthew and Christ being the cornerstone in Acts. (Note: Pauls is writing before the publication of the Gospels, so "the apostles and prophets" cannot be interpreted to mean "the writings of the apostles and prophets" rather than the people themselves)
"Liberal Catholic" is ambiguous because, in the theological sense, a liberal Catholic is someone who wants to reconcile the Catholic Church with the principles of the French Revolution. George Tyrrell and Felicite de La Mennais.
Those two things are irreconcilable.
@@Austin_Schulz Yes, so are the New Theology and what the Church has always taught. We know that because Pope Pius XII condemned the New Theology. But sadly, you can still read it in books by de Lubac, Danielou, and von Balthasar.

More broadly with the enlightenment as well as the neutral religious tolerance ideologies of the 17th and 16th centuries. a liberal is anyone who supports a post enlightenment I.E 18th century and onwards ideology including most American and Anglo “conservatives”. If you support the American revolution for ideological reasons like supporting “liberty” you are a liberal. That’s the technical historic political science definition. Theologically the term liberal Catholic is different but many modern liberal Catholics are politically progressive which would be a subset of political liberals .

That first question.... Wow what a faf
Almost finished reading Jesus & the Jewish Roots of Mary, and there seems to be substantial evidence that these were not brothers *or* stepbrothers. One piece of evidence was the verse given in the question. It wouldn't make sense for her to be given to the care of John if there were even stepchildren.
Yes exactly. Passing care of Mary onto John at the cross is a major roadblock for the protestant claim.
There was a prot post somewhere previously stating Mary's care wasn't given to any of her "children" since they weren't disciples or believers of Jesus.
@@essafats5728 That doesn't make sense though; I mean Jesus literally upheld all of the Jewish traditions and feasts, as did Mary, but now suddenly at his death he decides to forgo this one particular practice? Plus I'd simply point out that argument is pure conjecture. It would be equally valid to simply say all of his "brothers" had died. I *guess* both claims are possible, but I don't see anything in Scripture to say they are probable.
Hi Amanda, I was looking into reading that book, worth it?
@@phoult37 appreciate ur response, 2yr revert after 35+ MIA years, still learning how vast and deep the Catholic faith is. Besides, do u know where in the Bible, where it says a person is "...a child of Mary" or "'Mary, mother of so-and-so" or something to that effect? I.e. Jesus is identified as "son of Mary", or "Mary, mother of Jesus"...but I not able to find any other person, female or male, named as so.
Wonderful episode. Just to be fair (not saying you are not) but the people on the right as far as I know, are not against immigration. They are against illegal immigration, there is a huge distinction between the two. Immigrants are welcome as long as they do it legally. To lump the two together to make a point is unfair. Just my thought.
As a conservative myself, I can say many of us are even skeptical of legal immigration, or at least to the degree we have it. We see it as a major threat to cultural identity. Pope Francis and the Catholic Church are certainly more liberal when it comes to immigration.
A nation is allowed to close its borders when deemed necessary.
About politics, first and foremost Jesus is above human divisions.
"My kingdom is not of this world... etc"
"Render unto Caesar... etc"
Secondly, people seem to get really wrapped up in thinking that they have to *like* a certain politician or party. Politics is about people getting along in their public lives with others whom they disagree with, and in large part that means compromise, otherwise nothing gets done. Here's the shocker - NO ONE likes compromise. Likeability, especially for a person or people whom you've never met in person, should be way down the list for political considerations.
Thirdly, any politician can lead people where they want to go. A good politician must be able to lead people where they do NOT wish to go when it is nevertheless right to do so. Ergo, solid moral fortitude and a firm grasp of necessary principles is a chief requirement for sound leadership, far more so than likeability. Hence faith in the divine, because that is the source of virtues. We humans can be good but we're not perfect. This is why a politician's religion matters - but that's just the bare minimum.

The difficulty of accepting the brethren of the Lord as half-siblings for me is that St Paul refers to the apostle James as the Lord's brother (Gal 1:19). James being the son of Alphaeus (Clopas) and his wife Mary (John 19:25) making them cousins.
Jewish custom was often to refer to extended family as brothers. We see this in Genesis 31:36-37, 1 Chronicles 23:21-22. The Septuagint uses the same Greek word for brother (adelphoi) to describe cousins and extended family that the New Teastemant refers to Jesus' brothers with. Josephus a Jew writing Greek contemporary to the New Teastemant also uses adelphoi to refer to cousins.
Source: Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary chapter 5.
Brant Pitre
@@jeremysmith7176 right I think St Paul, a Jew, was using the expanded meaning of “brother”. My point was more that James is mentioned to have a different mother and father excluding Jesus and James from being “half-siblings”.
I think they're cousins, but besides that there's a chance for both things to be true: Jude and Joseph could be Joseph's sons while Simon and James could be his nephews. Should Clopas have died, Joseph would have adopted his nephews even if he already had children
Trent will commonly give credence to both ideas that “brother and sisters” refers to extended family members and that Joseph had children in a previous marriage. I think Joseph’s previous marriage is by far the weakest argument Trent makes. I think there’s is more biblical evidence to justify dismissing that idea than there is non-biblical evidence to justify adopting it. The strangest part to me is that it doesn’t actually accomplish anything. There is no benefit to holding the view that Joseph had other children. And to David F’s point, 3 out of the 4 men named as Jesus’ brothers can be traced back to being children of the other Mary and Cleopas (Joseph’s brother?).
Some priests think there's evidence Joseph was a virgin as well
Yes. Joseph is painted with the lily for virginity.
The tradition of Christian incels started earlier than I thought. At least Mary kept him on the straight so he didn't flip out and shoot up a school with an AR-15!
yeah this is the first time Trent has me shaking my head.
I want to hear Trent’s thoughts on the 10 year old pregnant case.
From what I've heard of him speak, I think I have an idea.
So the normal argument of a 10 year old pregnant girl in support of abortion is this, I believe:
1) If a female is pregnant and is expected to endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with the pregnancy, then it is permissible for the pregnant female to deliberately end the pregnancy prematurely.
2) A 10 year old girl who claims she will endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with her pregnancy is expected to endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with the pregnancy.
C) Therefore, a 10 year old girl who claims she will endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with her pregnancy is permitted to deliberately end the pregnancy prematurely.
How to argue against this? The argument against this would go back to what Trent always harkens to: what are the unborn? If the unborn are, indeed, human persons, then the argument will not work and I will try to show why. This all hinges on an unborn child being a human person. equivalence
0) To deliberately end a pregnancy is to deliberately kill the human person in the female.
Now with premise 0 in place, we can substitute the language into premise 1 and create premise 4 by mathematical equivalence:
4) If a female is pregnant and is expected to endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with the pregnancy, then it is permissible for the pregnant female to deliberately kill the human person in the female.
We now can reach a new conclusion:
C) A 10 year old girl who claims she will endure a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of continuing with her pregnancy is permitted to deliberately kill the human person inside of her.
The argument against this logic is to consider the scenario where the child is *already* born, and the 10-year-old mother is expected to suffer a tremendous amount of suffering as a result of the continuation of the child's *born* existence.
You may ask: why would this ever be the case? Just because this would not be as common of a case does not discredit the relational argument. Perhaps the mere thought of her having a child out there who she can't take proper care of is torture to her, and only if the child is killed will she find relief.
The main point is that IF there was some hypothetical situation where a 10-year-old girl who has already given birth to a child is expected to suffer a tremendous amount *unless* that child's life is deliberately ended prematurely, I think everybody would agree it is *wrong* to end that child's life. It doesn't matter if it's going to relieve the 10-year-old girl of a bunch of stress: this is an innocent human person with a right to life, and nobody has the right to end it.
So the question is: why does it make it any different if the child is inside of the woman or already born?
So the reason that a 10-year-old girl should have to give birth is *because* it is wrong to kill an innocent human person in order to try to relieve the suffering of some other human person. If we go by the logic that a pregnant 10-year-old should be able to kill the child inside of her to relieve her suffering, it follows that she should be able to kill the child once it is outside of her. Otherwise, people who argue for abortion will have to explain what change happened that would make the first permissible and the second impermissible.
Never happened
@New Areopagus I’ve seen people who call themselves pro-lifers give in to the emotional appeal of age and add an exception. Those who are firm and able to defend their stances have my respect.

Government is force. I think people of faith are more comfortable with the idea of problems being solved by voluntary acts of charity from individuals and voluntary associations.

Actually, you can't have any political view and yet be a Catholic, you must have a Catholic politic view and stop going to the post French revolution notions of politics. The whole left and right, liberal conservative it's not a Catholic notion, if you are one in Christ then you have to live in this world according to him, and that includes politics, we must be ONE and stop the manichean dualistic mentallity that keeps dividing people into left and right.
Another point is Jesus is Truth...I have heard priests say he is not conservative nor liberal...or republican nor democrat. Remember our version of Liberal vs Conservative ...Left vs Right is skewed because of the political parties. Since we based our government in part from the English parliament....back then left vs right meant where you sat in parliament. Also Classic Liberalism is very different from the Liberals we speak of today. Again if we take all the major teachings of the Church and Jesus and where they stand ie do a chart Abortion...no sanctity of life at all stages, traditional marriage between a man and woman etc and then compare with the party platforms and candidates you will find one party aligns better with Church teaching and that would be Republican...but still not a perfect fit because they would compromise with having abortion for example in cases of incest, rape etc where the Church says no....but it is the greater good better choice lesser of evils than choosing Democrats which promote up to and even after birth...look at NY....so choice is clear for now.
re: the first (strange) question; I like Trent but my only criticism is that he is too liberal
I don't see how you could be liberal and Catholic. Catholicism is not individualist. You would also be more in line with historical beliefs by being totally anti-immigration, which would preserve nations, than open-borders. The point of allowing immigration to palliate problems like poverty and persecutions does not require abortion. You can work to help diminish those problems without mass immigration. Mass immigration with democracy and the modern welfare state always destroys the host nation. Historically Catholicism denigrated democracy, such large state bureaucracies and gratuitous welfare and for good reason

To me it makes much more sense to see the brothers of Jesus as the sons of the sister of Mary, Mary of Clopas/Alpheus
john-Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
matthew-Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's children
mark-There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome.
james, joses/joseph, judas and simon are the names of the "brothers" of Jesus, it seems likely to me that Mary of Clopas is the mother of them.
Also Abraham calls Lot his Brother when he is his Nephew.
Also made sense to me, too, especially since I know someone who was raised in that situation 25 years ago.
Hey everyone, Trent is right. Jesus' brothers and sisters described in the Gospel as 'Your brothers and sisters are outside' must be Jesus'brothers and sisters through Joseph's previous marriage. Remember that Mary was conceived (the word is conceived) by the Holy Spirit, as the Bible says. God would not fuse His seed with the seed of Mary if she had original sin in her. He could have just 'formed' Himself in her otherwise. And this is why she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit and Mother of God - and it is blasphemous for Joseph to then know her.
As for the Bible calling someone a brother or sister refer to John 19:25. You will see that that the third Mary is referred to as the sister of Mary. Even if you believe that two sisters can be named Mary, cross reference it (John 19:25) with Mathew 27:56 and you will see that that other Mary is now described as being the mother of James and Joses.
By the way, I think this third Mary is Mother Mary's cousin's (Clopas') wife which is why she is referred to as a sister, meaning the wife of a cousin - but this last argument does not even have to be made to prove that the third Mary was not Mother Mary's real sister. It's enough that she is shown to be the mother of someone else (James and Joses).
Lastly, yes the Bible, and even the New Testament, does use the word cousin, but it also uses the words brother and sister to not refer to a real brother and sister.
God bless us all.
Here’s the thing with getting Individual gifts for LGBT couples: To be consistent, you would need to apply this to every questionable marriage, including divorced/remarried folks and Catholics who refused to marry in the Church. For some of us, that is a substantial percentage of the marriages in our own families.
That’s correct same thing applies
None of the "save marriage" movements ever seemed to campaign to outlaw state marriages for the divorced or non-Catholics.
I think there is a categorical difference between these irregular marriages and so called same sex marriages. Many times these irregular marriages can be redeemed or reconciled and brought into right order through the Church (annulment, convalidation) but a so called same sex marriage is always and everywhere an evil thing. There is no path to redeeming such a union. And trust me from experience, if you challenge the legitimacy of such a couple, they will never speak to you again anyhow no matter how sensitively you broach the topic. It's the tragedy of sin.
