I consider myself a conservative man, meaning that I don't like any change or action that isn't based, carefully planned, thought through and well reasoned. However, solidarity, charity, fraternity, equality - I do think that we have forgotten about those in our world. I'm looking forward to reading the full Fratelli Tutti. I see it as very counter-cultural in a way that the Pope "calls out" a lot of us who ordered our lives and communities too much under the "mantras" of earthly efficiency and even more so - materialistic profitability. A lot of the language that our Pope uses is great since he tries to take it back from the Godless regimes that have bastardised it in times past and alienated the Truth behind it. Solidarity isn't socialism, fraternity isn't communism. No political doctrine can confiscate those words unter its own "ism". Those "isms" idolised humans as such, neglected our fallen nature and need for divine guidance. In reality- It's all about being mindful of the "Imago Dei" in each person. A well known saint once said - No one is made so entirely out of mud that you couldn't find a gold nugget inside of them. Whatever are our disagreements and however serious they are, let us remember to disagree as brothers. Whatever our problems and ills our, let us at least try our best to help as brothers. I enjoy your videos fr. Cole. They are scholarly and done with a lot of technical skill. I'd like to see one on this "hustle" culture that's very popular on TH-cam and amongst youngsters. Also, if I may, I have a feeling you'd enjoy reading "Tools for conviviality" by Ivan Illich if you haven't already. It's a "spicy" book that has some relevant points for our time. Kind regards, Luka
Nice point about taking back very Christian words that have been stolen by godless ideologies! I've come across this point several times when talking about the teachings of the past several popes.
Peace be with you Father and I will pray for you. Why not spend some time in this video addressing or “dialoguing” about the concerns of those ordinary people who are practicing Catholics? Why did the Holy Father not answer the Dubia? That would be a loving Fathers action. I answer all my sons questions for clarification because of love. I believe you should clarify your position on things as you are increasingly coming across as an apologist for those against the Catholic faith (although I know this may not be your intention). You can guess the concerns of people with this new document so why not help those people and acknowledge their issues. God bless.
The answer is this - the answer to the Dubia Cardinals are in the text of Amoris Laetitia -- they just don't like it -- tough - they owe obedience to it.
@@angelicdoctor8016 I agree that one needs to be obedient but one also needs to be clear on what to do and an official dubia is simply looking for clarification. God Bless Pope Francis and guide him and me and you to Jesus. We are all in this valley of tears together my friend. God bless.
Our Lord wants us to be charitable, but isn't there a risk of appearing to be practicing syncretism. Our Lord clearly taught we are to baptize all nations and bring them to the one true Faith.
A legalistic idea of baptism dismisses the greatness of God. We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in, knowing their souls ultimate trajectory, like ours, is between them and our Father.
@@karnsingh3768 "We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in..." So the form and matter of Sacraments created by Jesus is superfluous, eh? The original question of Gabrielle is still a relevant issue.
Food for body with out food for soul is faul... Early Christian shared all, but didn't exclude gospel, and they would not let permanent lost souls to be in their community. All invited but, not all would stay...
There is no recommendation for syncretism. Under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you.
Don’t see how this comes about without accepting Christ as Lord. Pope Francis seems to deny man’s fallen nature. Corruption has to be ended before the ideal society can exist.
Couldn't be further from the truth! When asked who Jorge Bergoglio was, do you know what he said? "A sinner." Francis is well aware of our sinfulness. What he is doing here is what every pope for the last 120 years has done: call us to seek the ideal.
@@stephenkamau4700 there is no salvation without brotherhood, or in other words : solidarity and caritas as lived expression of your faith! If you think that this is communism, well that's certainly one reason why Jesus was captured and executed. Then you can call Jesus the first communist. Have you ever been to Europe? Then you might know, how political communism really was. We in Europe care for our citizens. We live solidarity here and the Catholic church has had a big influence on social laws. Our Pope is well aware of this.
Yes. We shall live forever under the brightest sun of absolutism and monarchy, the sun that's so bright it actually burdens everyone living under it with pain and misery. In a certain way, some of early Christians can be called revolutionaries, especially the ones amongst the Franciscans. “The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.” - G. K. Chesterton. And now remember the saying of Saint Augustine: “What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”
You are right, and it's so bad, the the stonecutters have endorsed Fratelli Tutti. That should set the alarms ringing for real Catholics. We've all just been blinded and poisoned with modernism, instead of being fed with authentic Catholic church teaching.
@@Domas04 Human nature is inherently hierarchical-- the opposite of equal-- no matter how much you try to spin it. The structure of the Church is reflective of this immutable reality. Popes are above bishops, bishops are above priests, and priests are above the laity. Does this mean that such a hierarchy is a value judgment; that just because one is higher in an earthly hierarchy, that he is innately favored by God or closer to Him? Absolutely not. We are all endowed with equal view of worth before God. There can be, and often are, laymen who are more virtuous than some bishops. However, blurring the lines between the explicit hierarchical nature of humanity in order to justify rhetoric adopted by the Cult of Reason is indefensible in light of Christian doctrine. We help the poor because they cannot help themselves, as in they cannot be eternally brought to the level of the rich. Jesus told His Apostles that there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11; also invoking Deuteronomy)-- this was, is, and always will be true. Calling for smashing the "walls" of wealth inequality between classes is a fool's errand because it defies the aforementioned hierarchy of human nature. Marxism and Enlightenment-age liberal principles have all failed because of this.
I hear the freemasons also make silly comments on youtube videos. probable just a rumor but maybe you should play it safe and stop making silly comments on youtube videos...just in case
They are for abortion, sterilisation, it took away right of the Christian west to protect them self, and their future generations... There is no measurement of those that are positive and negative... And why this lie and forcing on migration? Why cant we help them in other communities, or where they are ? Why condition way of how to help ? And I cant forget when ever my country, my nation would loss sovereignity, it was time off darkness and oppression... Why are they saying it is good? As if I'm listening to communist? Or imperialist... Something is off here... Does Papa think that Muslims will not attack, or other races? If hunger happens...they dont give up on anything and we give up on everything...
Excellent synopsis. I have read this encyclical and you are correct in suggesting taking a whole week to read and digest each chapter for there is so much to reflect on and assimilate.
Can you help me understand how he can speak these things publicly while also publicly allowing the Chinese Communist Party to violate nearly every principle? A Chinese Communist Party who are also literally taking a leadership role in the Catholic Church previously reserved only for the Pope himself. Why not allow the President of the United States and the elected representatives in Washington the same ability to elect leaders in the Catholic Church? A clear bias in favor of collectivism makes his emphasis on the individual cynical at best. At what point does a person lose his God given liberty? I thought that was what the sacrament of penance was for. I get that smaller less developed countries have been and are being exploited but I'd like to hear a sincere answer regarding this obvious moral failing which to anyone paying attention could have disastrous repercussions for generations to come. Is a document like this even worth reading if it ignores these obvious truths? I don't want to make it my job to punish Capitalists for their sins and if that is Francis' intent he should be removed from the Vatican by any means necessary.
@@maribelandrade770 I watched the video and it only left me hungry for more information. CNA wrote a few articles about this deal being renewed recently and included a lot of details I wasn't aware of. I don't know where you are from but as an American I can't imagine the Church having such a role in society as the Church in China has or wants to have. One of the Bishops Francis lifted excommunication on is also a legislator who voted to remove term limits for Xi. I can't imagine a Bishop in the U.S.A. being allowed to also be a Republican member of Congress who votes to remove term limits for Trump and somehow that flies under the radar. Not to mention a Bishop being imprisoned and then going missing and nobody mentions it because they know the GOP was involved. Meanwhile Xi holds power over a government that is actually racist, actually putting people in concentration camps, actually disappearing people, has some of the harshest and cruelest laws, and Francis writes an encyclical that is mostly meant to turn the world's attention to Trump's weaknesses which he thinks are undermining capitalism (which he does not support.) Sorry, but I just don't know how else to interpret this Pope's legacy except to say that he is clearly bad at being Pope. We should pray for him.
It is not worth it. I started and could not finish. The lack of examples makes the first chapter confusing. It seems a jab at the US for wanting to protect its borders. Then, you can't really understand. he speaks of evils in such a general sense that you can't really tell what is he talking about. He wants you to define what he says they way you feel like it
That does make one think it as such if we only take the values of liberty, equality and fraternity as exclusively Masonic. Indeed the words may echo the cries of the French Revolution (which also gave us a huge share of Catholic martyrs); nevertheless, it remains valid that whatever is good comes from God.
Mostly implied. Church Fathers? There are mentions of St. Irenaeus, St. Basil, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. The Gospel? One chapter speaks of the Good Samaritan. Sin? Social sins such as discord and violence. The Devil? He is at work in discord. Salvation? It involves the salvation of the entire human person, and so the work of dialogue and fraternity is a work of mercy, a work of bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Surely implied, brother, but implication does not mean absence. They're there, and if we can dig it up, why can't we? As to Mr. Marshall's video, I haven't yet, but I will look it up at a later time due to my studies-and I mean it when I say that I will look it up later. As to responding to you, you're welcome.
We are all Brothers, and Sister's in the eyes of Jesus Christ. Especially those that love him. Thank you for the video, well worth watching! 👍 Moira From England.
The death penalty is the only thing I disagree on. While I do believe we need a massive overhaul of our justice system I also believe that there are certain instances where it is warranted. The overhaul I speak of can be a more stringent system of deciding who gets it but doing away with it will do nothing but harm us. I worked as an cop and a prison guard and I can tell you for certain that the word “death” scares a lot of people and I’ve personally heard inmates say that the death penalty is the only reason they didn’t commit murder.
I dont understand the disdain against individual and unique cultures for maintaining their identity that seems to be prevalent in a lot of modern discourse, seems a bit one sided to blame the ancestors of a people for having their own way of life even if they're friendly and charitable to others. Look at Sweden or Germany for example, it seems like at some point it became incorrect to notice how much take and how little give is happening with the waves of migrants and refugees. When does kindness become pathological altruism?
There should be no disdain up until it's a basis of division. Remember, there will be neither Jew nor Greek in heaven. The Catholic Church tolerates and loves many rites of many particular churches, so an accusation of being the enemy of unique cultures is off. Gal 3: 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Let's also refrain from CTRL-F analyses of papal and religious documents. It's not how to properly read text, and it's an analysis that can be easily manipulated to mislead. Take up and read! Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno also don't mention "God the Father" and the "Holy Spirit". Deus Caritas Est by Benedict XVI mentions 'eros' 94 times, and 'Holy Spirit' twice. Does that make it bad? *I mentioned this as well with the folks at Brian Holdsworth's channel! God bless!
Started reading the document today! Some parts are very thomistic, especially the possessions we have, we have for the good of the other. Thank you for your summary!
Meanwhile, some publications tend to critizise Pope Francis' criticism of Capitalism... It's telling how much they know about Catholic Social Teaching since Leo XIII... not!
But I don't ever hear or read Pope Francis criticize socialism and marxism and how evil they are. Capitalism can be evil but socialism and marxism are intrinsically evil.
May I suggest going to the Vatican News, CNA, NCR and other more direct news sites? He has condemned Marxism and militant liberation theology! The Pope from the Americas knows the violence it causes first hand, but he knows that poverty, greed of corporations, and lack of education are all factors which make people erroneusly turn to socialism. Also, Brian Holdsworth does a nice video on "Why I'm not a Capitalist". Cheers and God bless!
@@ipso-kk3ft Thank you I will check those out but I don't understand how anyone can say they're not a capitalist when it's the best thing to be in this imperfect world. Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than anything else in human history
@@ipso-kk3ft he really has not demonstrated an understanding of the evils of a state. Just read the encyclical. He promotes politicians as something which any person with two eyes can see they are not.
@@Patrick-tn7pb agreed that capitalism is the best we have. Seems that the issue here is a matter of perspective or trying to see things from the point of view of our brothers in central and South America. In those countries there is deep poverty, political corruption and many innocents killed by governments that protect corporate interests through violence and in turn these problems cause people to flee and immigrate. The pope is trying to propose solutions that safeguard people not just goods. If people were to ease up on the wild accusations we might be able to listen to each other and start finding common ground
Interesting how the Church once taught that capital punishment was morally admissible, changed that to always morally wrong and says that its moral teachings are unchangeable; that the change was just a "development" of doctrine. Diametrically different positions, one developed from the other.
there's a greater awareness now that its an attack on the persons dignity, they arent defined by their actions but as a child if God. We now have better methods to deal with these people
@@isaacfleisig9220 sounds like St. Pope JP position. Different from saying it is morally inadmissible, fundamentally wrong as current Pope says. By the way, St Augustine and all church fathers to comment on this issue says it is BECAUSE human dignity is so great that capital punishment is the only punishment for things like murder.
Is the directive for nations to address geopolitical inequalities *through the UN specifically* in Fratelli Tutti? Or are you offering us an example/possibility. Thanks for the video. I'm having a hard time with this one.
Paragraphs 173 and 257 mention the United Nations: 173: In this regard, I would also note the need for a reform of “the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth”.[151] Needless to say, this calls for clear legal limits to avoid power being co-opted only by a few countries and to prevent cultural impositions or a restriction of the basic freedoms of weaker nations on the basis of ideological differences. For “the international community is a juridical community founded on the sovereignty of each member state, without bonds of subordination that deny or limit its independence”.[152] At the same time, “the work of the United Nations, according to the principles set forth in the Preamble and the first Articles of its founding Charter, can be seen as the development and promotion of the rule of law, based on the realization that justice is an essential condition for achieving the ideal of universal fraternity… There is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[153] There is need to prevent this Organization from being delegitimized, since its problems and shortcomings are capable of being jointly addressed and resolved. 257: Since conditions that favour the outbreak of wars are once again increasing, I can only reiterate that “war is the negation of all rights and a dramatic assault on the environment. If we want true integral human development for all, we must work tirelessly to avoid war between nations and peoples. To this end, there is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[238] The seventy-five years since the establishment of the United Nations and the experience of the first twenty years of this millennium have shown that the full application of international norms proves truly effective, and that failure to comply with them is detrimental. The Charter of the United Nations, when observed and applied with transparency and sincerity, is an obligatory reference point of justice and a channel of peace. Here there can be no room for disguising false intentions or placing the partisan interests of one country or group above the global common good. If rules are considered simply as means to be used whenever it proves advantageous, and to be ignored when it is not, uncontrollable forces are unleashed that cause grave harm to societies, to the poor and vulnerable, to fraternal relations, to the environment and to cultural treasures, with irretrievable losses for the global community.
Spain is of no relevance in the world. It has been morally defeated, and the Hispanic cultural realm is in chaos. This pope does not care a fig for Spain. He has not bothered to set foot here. Spain has been taken over with no efforts or pains, long years of european subsidies did the job. The goal now is elsewhere.
Pope Francis is changing on teaching of the death penalty is very difficult for me. I do not understand how we manage to do it, and I Think this is shaking my faith
Might I recommend learning how the issue developed? John Paul II did far more to change the teaching than Francis did: th-cam.com/video/GfuFXh9OypI/w-d-xo.html
@@BreakingInTheHabit Thankyou, Father, that was helpful. My instinct is still that it is difficult to accept but at least I have something of a better understanding of how to begin rethinking my approach to the matter.
@@undolf4097 There is 2000 years of what the Church has taught. St Thomas Aquinas has wrote the doctrine of the Just War. Pope JP2 has restricted the death penalty. Pope Francis has negated the use of the death penalty. But what is two Popes' teachings compared to 2000 years of Magisterial teaching ? They have no right nor authority to restrict or negate past teachings especially when they are not even Doctors of the Church like St Thomas Aquinas. Their theology aren't as deep and powerful as a Doctor of the Church. The death penalty is allowed when it is exercised for the common good of society. Thou shall not kill is not a blanket ban on killing. If an enemy invade your country do you take up arms and kill the invader or in cases of self defense? The 10 commandments came from the OT. There are plenty of examples when the Israelites wage war on their enemies and when they are faithful to God, He helped them win battles. The enemies of the Jews are killed. Didn't David killed Goliath with God's blessings ? Also look at the battle of Jericho. So in summary look at what the Church has taught for 2000 years especially when it's coming from The Magisterium. If a Pope is not speaking Ex Cathedra, you don't have to listen to him.
That's right , the beast of rev 13 ROME , will force Sunday sacredness apoun the world , not the Bible Sabbath according to GOD'S word , if you would like to lurn much more , please go to amazing word ministry's on u tube and hear Bible truth and news from around the world TV and radio news do not want you to see or hear and be set free AMEN .
Fr. Casey, I'm one of your followers here. I admire your wit and intelligence and I learned a lot from you. But I also follow Dr. Taylor Marshall. I don't subscribe to everything he says, but he is not wrong! His criticism of the pope is well-founded.
Drop Tecson II when this father refers to "the church", he's talking about the Father Martin, Father Dan Horan, Cardinal McCarrick church. Anytime this priest tells you that someone who you follow is "out of touch" with the church, take that as a compliment.
Bring back a pope like JP2!..Would follow that man to the ends of the earth..TG we have lived in an era where we have been graced to hear and see him! We have a solid reference point.Would be more inclined to go back and read his encyclicals than to trust anything being produced by the present incumbent.Pray for Pope Francis..
@Immuneto Agagag "Fake news" A quick search for words on the document indicates: "Jesus", Rather than "Jesus Christ" - 33 times "God", rather than "God the Father" - 80 times "Christ" -23 times "Love" - 132 times "joy" - 10 times "peace" - 104 times "Christians" - 13 times "Catholic" - 16 "Church" - 36 times "Mercy" - 6 times "Grace" - 5 times "Neighbour" or "Neighbours" - 39 times. Justice" - 50 times "Hope" - 22 times "unity" - 19 times "community" 29 times. "family" - 41 times Quotes from the bible or church teachers/fathers - too many to count. I would suggest that if you have not read it thinking it was "freemason propaganda that you actually read it. If you have read it, maybe try reading it again remembering the words in Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
@Ricardo Villamil I'm noting the "technically" and "apparently" in your statement. Perhaps (presuming from the "apparently" that you have not done so already) you should read it and then make a decision as to whether it is "good teaching" or not. The bible tells us multiple times to discern the truth through the Holy Spirit and "test" teaching - it sounds so far to me like neither of you have actually read it first, prayed about it, checked it against the scriptures, and established teaching before criticising it? Not quite sure why you are also putting these comment on my reply to Fr. Casey when I made it clear I'm not a Catholic, so there is an irony that as a none Catholic I am having to tell you (who through at least one of your profiles I am assuming are Catholics) things about the pope's writings and asking you to discern them against the bible, Catholic / Christian teaching, and the Holy Spirit, and effectively defend a Catholic document to you when all I originally did was thank Fr. Casey for the recommendation and summary. So far, if Fr. Casey invited me to a service, or chat over tea I think if the timing was right I would happily accept his invitation. I am doubtful I would do the same with you both - not great evangelism on behalf of the church...
@Ricardo Villamil there is an obvious difference between an encyclical approved by the church leadership and a smut film so your analogy is weak. We are taught by the scripture to beware of false teaching and to use discernment, but you are judging the popes work without reading it, and "putting your faith" in others.. How if you have not read the work with an prayerful and open heart can you judge whom is the false teacher? Again, I would suggest you read it. If God is in you and Pope Francis' words are unworthy, then they will cause you no harm and you can speak from a personal analysis and fair and unbiased judgment rather than another's words on your lips. If God is in you and Pope Francis's words are worthy then God will speak to you through them. I hope either way that God blesses you and fixes your eyes on Him alone.
I’m looking forward to hear your summary but I’m gonna wait until after I read it. I’m doing my best to read it with as few preconceptions as possible.
From beginning to end, it reeks of Modernism, masonic principles, total apostacy. Sprinkling the mention of God once in a while to disguise its poison. This paves the way for the one-world religion which the globalists are waiting for
We are all brothers and sisters, children of God, IF we are baptized. P. Francis is twisting the actual teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi. We are all definitely creatures of God and, in this, we are a kind of a family and should take care of one another, but again, his misleading/confusing forms of writing would tend to conclude that all religions are the same and that they worship the same God, which is totally wrong. Ask Muslins or Jews, for example, they won't agree that they worship the same God as us or that Jesus is the Messiah, which is essential to be saved: Accepting Him as our Redeemer and Savior.
@@stevelyles9021 Taylor Marshall is in grave error concerning Francis. Under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you.
I love Pope Francis, he is of course the current who sits in the chair of Peter, and the head of our church and I would never want to disgrace or disrespect the Holy Father. His encyclicals "Amoris Laetitia" and "Laudauto Si" are marvelous. This encyclical, I have kind of a problem with. This encyclical mentions "The haves vs have nots" (rich vs poor), and it mentions that we have to adopt ideas and morals from others who are not Catholic, and that there are only collective identities and the individual needs to be abolished as well as all culture and national heritage. All of this is against church teachings by the way. Many popes have condemned Marxism, Moral Reletivism, and Collectivism. Just read "The Syllabus of Errors", "The Catechism of the Catholic Church", "Rerum Novarum" and many more. I know that Pope Francis does not advocate for going against Church teachings in any regard, but to a "luke-warm" Liberal Catholic, this document gives them the wrong ideas. I have a friend who is such Catholic, and they read the part where it mentions that we need to "talk and listen to others in order to find out the truth". They said, "Wow, so the truth is not in the bible or Catholic teachings then?! Great, that means that we can now allow female priests and homosexual marriages." I said, "Those are not the teachings of the church, read "Inter Insignores" and the Catechism, as well as the Bible, they said, "Well Pope Francis just said the counter to that, so that is now Church teaching." The last few Popes were not very clear, Objective, and stern with their Encyclicals, which has lead to a lot of confusion among Catholics who are not well-versed. Clarity is charity.
Garrett I do agree with you 100 percent . When teaching my kids I tell them that people are looking for the truth but no one , no other religion, government etc can give them the real truth but Jesus Christ Himselft who is teaching us what is the truth through the Catholic Church. Many people, religions or systems have claimed to posses the truth but we as Christians ( Catholics) know the Jesus Christ is the only Way and the only Truth that's why this encyclic is very confusing indeed.
Which part of Catholic theology justifies using violence to redistribute the produce of one group to the hands of another group? Even in the parable about the man who pays the servants who worked less the same wage, the employer says, "Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me?" Not to reduce the full truth of this parable, but it seems plain to me that a person is due a right to his property. How else can the story be justified? That's to say nothing of sharing and caring for your neighbor. But there seems to be a monumental difference between sharing/caring for your neighbor and using state violence to redistribute the produce of others. After all, is a man not permitted to choose how his property will be used?
Taylor Marshall is just a Protestant at this point. No Christian humality in that man and he constantly bashes the Holy Father while praising worldly leaders like Donald Trump. Not saying Joe Biden is any better im just saying Dr Taylor Marshall would never say anything positive about Francis. I used to watch him and Tim Gordon when they were friends but Taylor Marshall got into a petty argument with Gordon and both there egos were way to big to make up. Just saying wouldn't take advice from that guy although his books the crucified rabbi and eternal city were good though and very helpful to me. God bless
Men, the level of crypto-Protestantism under Catholic aesthetics is insane in the USA. Those rads do a really bad service to the Holy Church. Oh gosh! From a Latin American Catholic (ps: I am a conservative and Pope Francis wouldn’t get my vote if that was the way, but I am Catholic. Simple as that).
Taylor Marshall has become a conspiracy nutcase. I can and have handled Taylor Marshall's nonsense. He can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!

The command was "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,". There is an over emphasis on dialogue (to what end?) , Ecumenism and recognizing the good in other religions. Our mission is not to find what truth exists in hinduism or islam but to bring them to the One True Lord. Man's intrinsic worth from God, his fallen nature and his redemption through the cross cannot be just glossed over as if they are self evident. These truths need to be proclaimed in the name of Christ. The Church is becoming more and more uncomfortable to ask others to denounce their false worldviews.
As a Catholic, I have a hard time with this teaching. It seems to suggest that if you see something that appears unjust you must act to right it. Not to determine weither it is, or it isn't, just. But to assume justice based on what are shallow outcomes of circumstance.
nothing wrong with struggling - keep struggling! We should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
This is the first positive analysis of this encyclical I have heard or read. Thank you. Please pray for the Church. There is such division between pre-Vatican II and post-Vatican II as if Vatican II represents a political view. Blessed Mary ever Virgin pray for your children and your Son’s Church. We desperately need your intercession for the graces we need to hear the Holy Spirit working in our Holy Church.
Might I recommend looking into other sources? There are *a lot* of positive responses to this encyclical from major sources. There are some negative ones, yes, but if you haven't found any positive ones you're not looking wide enough.
So is this "Catholicism in Focus" or "Breaking in the Habit"? Just wondering 😇 Thanks for the video, I was really wondering what was the new Encyclical about, and haven't had the time to read it all.

If we truly Love our neighbor, we will lead them to Christ and His Church. For this, there is no Compromise! St. Padre Pio, pray for us.
Fratelli Tutti is about FREEMASONRY BROTHERHOOD. It's NOT Catholic! It's natural humanism.... Supporting this encyclic is destroying the Church. Sorry... I just unsubscribe your channel...
you're no Crusader for Christ - you speak nonsense without evidence - you can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
Fratelli Tutti states all religions are equal, and willed by God...this is completely false and against traditional Catholic teaching that there is no salvation outside the church.
Fratelli Tutti states the following about different religions Christian identity 277. The Church esteems the ways in which God works in other religions, and “rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions. She has a high regard for their manner of life and conduct, their precepts and doctrines which… often reflect a ray of that truth which enlightens all men and women”.
@Simon Laberge you are certainly sinful in rejecting Fratelli Tutti, since in doing so you reject the teaching of an ecumenical council -- is that news to you really?
@Simon Laberge yes to Fratelli Tutti - no options for Catholics with understanding on this; more details will come from Francis if he wants to say more on civil unions. I would say this - civil unions would need to be differentiated from homosexual unions (which the CDF has already quashed). We could say that two gay men living together as faithful Catholics (only philia and agape love - not eros) would be without sin. Some wacko rightists argue that would be an occasion for sin -- but that is not true, as any occasion where two gay men are alone is not simply an occasion for sin -- it's an insult to their professed chastity as Catholics.
@Simon Laberge it's a fair question, Simon -- my understanding, though I need more info, is that there would be certain legal privileges (eg. when one person becomes ill and there needs to be decision making, visitation rights, etc.) -- it's the legal privileges that would be an expression of God's mercy in this sense, since in and of themselves the privileges don't condone sinful acts.
Friar, I disagree with you on this review... This would be a wonderful document if written by the UN. However it comes from the Chair of Peter. The Vicar of Christ. Without getting into what is in the encyclical, you covered some of that. Let's talk about what is not in the letter to the faithful from Peter's Chair. A word count from Fratelli Tutti: Creed 1. One God 2. Jesus Christ 3. Holy Spirit 1. Catholic Church Church History/ Dogma 0. Salvation 1. Trinity 1. Dogma (negatively) 3. Augustine 2. Aquinas 0. Ecumenical Councils NOT VII 0. Magesterium 3. Catholic 1. Morality Masonic Buzzwords 15 Equality/Inequality 5. Liberty 47. Fraternity This list is only what's lacking in the 20 minutes I've been thinking about it. Add it all up and the Word of God vs. that of the Mason's, enemies of God are this: Masons- Liberty Equality Fraternity - 67 God- 19 Friar, We are but passing through this world, our eyes on the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. To have a vision for a compassionate life for all in this world is kind, indeed loving. Hiding the answer to the suffering experienced in it is NOT! And offering alternate solutions is diabolical! Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, Beginning, End, all in all. God bless you Friar.
Your wrong in your logic. Your misreading may be caused by the devil. Who is this encyclical written for? Is it not meant for us Catholics? Is the message expressed in the video not in the Gospels? Is it not Christ's commands to love one another and to be perfect as the Father is perfect? We as true catholics don't need to be reminded that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, or that whatever he writes comes from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You sound to me like protestants wanting to repeat the name of Jesus as if it was a mantra. Only Hindus need to say the name of the god they're praying to, for they have thousands. We as catholics know our ground, God is one and Triune, we know who He is as introduced by our lord. Everything coming from the holy Church, including Vatican II, is from God's, he hasn't appointed any other interpretating authority than his Church. Are we saintly people to correct what comes from the chair of Peter? Are you saintly? So if you're not a Saint, why would any true catholic listen to your misguided thought? Our hearts are burning and longing for our Triune God, He satiblished his Holy Church and whatever it comes from it should be taken as inspired by God himself. If there's something wrong, then we pray for wisdom and Most of all Charity to point out the possible mistakes, just as Christ instructed.
@@umatveg Who is this written for? That is a good question. The Encyclical doesn't say does it? There is no traditional "TO THE BISHOPS PRIESTS AND DEACONS CONSECRATED PERSONS AND THE LAY FAITHFUL ON FAITH." Only "ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP." So I ask you who it is written for? Is it an open letter to the world? I appreciate your question. I will meditate on it and hope to guess correctly as I and the faithful do with most of what comes from this Papacy.
@@mrmaggoo35 whatever the answer you get from meditating will be summ up in this undeniable truth, that letter is written for all of those whom God wants them to hear his word. Those who have ear listen.
What about Encyclicals like Rerum Novarum? Holy Spirit shows up 0 times, God the Father shows up 0 times too. Benedict's Deus Caritas Est mentions Holy Spirit a grand total of 2 times, but Eros (erotic love) 94 times. Simply hitting cntrl-F as criticism is a poor shot, as by the same logic, you'd be condemning "great" Encyclicals with similar word counts.
equiality and inequality are no only terms that can be use by freemasons christh himself talk about it, liberty was a gift given by God , we gaveus a free will, caue love should always come from freedom , and fraternity is all the human species we are brothers and sister cause we have one Father, GOD
Fr. Cole, given the video presentation and some comments you left down below, I believe it my duty to call to your attention some quotes from Pope St. Pius X's Syllabus Condemning the Errors of the Modernists: The following positions were formally condemned by the pope and cannot be held by a Catholic in good conscience: 53. The organic constitution of the Church is not immutable. Like human society, Christian society is subject to a perpetual evolution. 59. Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and all men, but rather inaugurated a religious movement adapted or to be adapted to different times and places. On this second quotation, I specifically refer to Christ affirming in the gospels that power had been given to Pilate to put to death, and every pope and orthodox theologian until only the past decade or so has affirmed (even carried out at times) capital punishment. Therefore, to say that the Church's teaching has "developed and evolved away from the barbarism and simplicity (dare we tied these words to our Lord) beliefs of past centuries towards our much more enlightened times" is problematic. Christ stated explicitly that power had been given to earthly rulers to put to death, Thomas Aquinas explains well and at length for us the rationality of the death penalty, we dare not cast it aside as something positively sinful. Christ also charged us with making disciples of all nations. This is irreconcilable with the belief that God wills a plurality of religions, that there is a universal brotherhood of man which transcends even religion. Uniting under Adam is the precise inversion of Uniting under Christ.
After reading these comments, I'm nervous about the future of the Church. This video begins, "It's no secret that we live in a divided and contentious world these days." And within this very comments section, we see it playing out. There seems to be a growing rift, even in our Church.
It's also no secret that the guy himself has picked a side like everybody else. After all, compromise just means that everyone gets to be only half-right, which is as good as being wrong.
@@angelicdoctor8016 So which side should we listen to? Or are you telling me yours is “the one”!! These “traditionalists” you mentioned also follow the Church and have priest and bishops as guests that have the laying of hands from the SAME church you go to!!
A priest long ago gave a wonderful interpretation the the Good Samaritan. The Rabbi went by and kept going. He was not an evil man but feared that if the person in the road was dead and the Rabi touched him the Rabbis would have to go thru a long purification process.. He feared that he would not be able to officiate over his congregation and one man to deprive many was not a chance he wanted to take . Basically the Rabi is just human and capable of making mistakes and even go against what he knew was right to stop and help the man in the road He is only human .(high priest or any clergy truly wanting to serve God but only human). The rich man was likened to politicians. He just kept going for his own selfish reasons. If he stopped the robbers may be waiting in the bushes and he would end up the same way. He was not about to risk his neck when he had his own neck to worry about. (Pilate and wealthy and political men). The Samaritan. The one rejected by all willing to touch the untouchable, willing to put his neck on the line willing in any case to help anyone. Jesus, the only one you can trust to have no motives other than Love. The robber is satan and his demons in every interpretation. The man in the road is us.
This interpretation can be likened to our own time. Our Pope has obligations as pope and they include keeping Catholics safe and evangelization and perpetuating Jesus Church. Our Pope negotiating with the Chinese. He is hoping to prevent a slaughter. Our Pope suggesting married clergy. He is hoping to keep the church where God wants it to be and it can't be done without human intervention - priests. We judge him but will never really know if he is right or wrong.
@@christiandpaul631 "We judge him but will never really know if he is right or wrong " yes we can , and yes we will , in your example he sent the mccarrick as his representative , that tells you all you need to know , do you think that the ccp did not know all about the filth from the Vatican ?.
You need to talk with traditional priests, this bushes and robbers thing where did this come from ? that he was trying to twist a parable from Christ himself tells the quality of his understanding and teachings.
Will the passport requirements for Vatican City be eliminated now? Will we see this new approach as a sign of solidarity? God Bless Francis and the Entire World! May we all find and love more deeply, the one Truth, Jesus Christ. If not, there will be serious consequences to pull us back to the Truth.
As far as I know, there are no passport requirements in Vatican City and the border is open 🤔 The trouble is that you have to enter Italy first, and good luck obtaining a visa if you are African... 😢
I started reading the encyclical the moment it came up on the Vatican site. Thank you for creating such an excellent summary. It's distressing to me that so many of the so-called Catholic sites are so disdainful of Pope Francis. I appreciate his leadership in a time of plague and lies.
🙏🙏🙏Thank you for sharing your insights, & so grateful!! Hoping to take up your suggestion to study, with a group, & put it into practice!!🤗 & praying for all, to not take offense, but choose charity
I wish Pope used the parable of the unforgiving debtor to speak of brotherhood. That parable showed that human brotherhood is supposed to be based, not on mere human compassion, but the mercy of God. But perhaps that would be too openly Catholic, theologically.
nonsense - your comment is without evidence -- notice that you can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
If I tell someone where they should go but do not assist with directions to get there or even how to get to the highway, have I helped them? Of course not. Politics will not change in our society until each of us acts with Christian principles. In the current environment this sounds like a cry like “can’t we all just get along”. I agree with the Holy Father and as a society we may likely change with baby steps. Let’s focus on the upcoming election: pray for our nation because God has an immeasurable ocean of Mercy for us all.
Thank you father for bringing this to us. I do believe Papa Francesco is a saintly and wise man. I am very grateful for his papacy. I just can't understand why so many are angry with him. A friendly suggestion: slow down your delivery a little bit. This will give your listeners more space to register the ideas you are presenting.

I hear this message about treating everyone equally as brothers and sisters. Everyone sets out with this understanding. However, It's a difficult teaching when we know so many miligned people wish to manipulate you. Lord. Why did you let sociopaths among our kind. Turning brother against brother. Friends against friends and neighbour against neighbours. It's difficult to accept this as wisdom. With such dangers around us. 🙏🏻
How I wish someone can translate your briefing in KISWAHILI. Indeed whenever I read Romans 11:33 I continue to be convinced that the Universe has a super human able planner. Thank you GOD.
There is nothing new Pope francis is saying. While I think the pope put the message in a rather strong way, probably due to the confusion and suffering crazy politics is causing the world today, his message really is a reflection of the Bible in Ephesians 4:11-13 (much emphasis on verse 13). So for more conservative and less theological Catholics, simply follow the Bible and you are good. Please stop complaining about everything and creating unnecessary division in the church spreading misinformation. Just follow the Bible, live the traditions, and offer your worship to God. Leave out the debates, they will not lead you to heaven.
"Please stop complaining about everything" "Leave out the debates" You're lucky our forefathers predecessors and past spiritual leaders debated and complained.
The irony, it is God who continues the division of Nations (CCC 57). The Church’s Mission is the proclamation of the Gospel until our Lord return. (CCC 58, 1040-1048, Mathew 28:19,20, Daniel 2:44). The Ultimate Trial of the Church and how we will be saved is instructive, see CCC 675-677.
I do not understand a lot of comments here. I am from Spain, so I came from a very specific culture, including traditions, way of living, traditional festivities, etc. I totally understand the point of Fratelli Tutti. There has always been, at least in Europe History, migrations, invasions, mix of different people...cultures are not sth ecstatic, they are always changing. Communism prohibited culture. The mix of cultures and races due to inmigration is not eliminate a culture, is a process that has happened regularly since Humans were on Earth. Oc there are conflicts, problems, and sometimes you have to defend your country/territory/way of living. And nowadays we live in States were there are laws that defends how we live and persecuted those who try to vulnerate our rights or freedom. But pretend that poor inmigrants trying to find a better life are a sth like a threat for our cultures...they are not. Also, you can oc maintain your culture or traditions, but never think that yours are better! The mix of traditions in Europe is huge. The richness of our cultures is in part due to this constant change and movement of people. We as Catholics must help and give refuge to those who are suffering. We cant blame them from our own problems! I am more concerned about how Europe is losing industry power in benefit of other countries like China. There are people becoming very rich while middle class is losing wealth. The problem are not the poor inmigrants harvesting strawberries in the south of my country, but the companies, politicians and organizations taking advantage of an economic system that is not fair.
Even after listening this laudation I still think it is not worth to read it. 43000 words for supporting the UN declaration of Human Rights from a pope? I'd rather re-read 5 times the first five Oecumenical Councils decrees in Greek. Makes more sense and helps more my faith.
Then your faith is not really faith, Laszlo.

Matthew 16:1 And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. Matthew 16:2 But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’ Matthew 16:3 and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times? Matthew 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
Are you being dishonest and trying to set a trap for the father to fall in? Who in the catholic church think socialism is good? The father is right, is socialism the one extracting from catholic social teaching and not the other way around. Forcing someone to answer, yes or no to a loaded question is not only unreasonable but plain evil
Thanks for your insights. I read all of the Pope's encyclicals and learn from all of them. This one is a bit complex and frankly I don't think anyone can read all of it and feel comfortable. It may be that there is a such a fine line between the complex demands that it may only be a goal on the way to the Kingdom of God. Still it is good to have standard no matter how far in the distance it is.
This would be all great if it was in alignment with the last 2000 yrs of papal teaching. Sad but it is not and in blatant contradiction with scripture and prior teaching a complete fail.
Sadly, you're incorrect -- let me suggest you read it again, this time with a view that the document is correct. Nevertheless, under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you!!
,@@stevelyles9021 I think what he meant is our understanding of human life is a lot better and the death penalty is no longer adequate or necessary for modern times.
think of it this way - goodness is existence that ought to be present (by God's will) -- this it the Augustinian/Thomistic view. Now, today we have prisons globally with opportunity to reform -- this is a greater good, since killing a human (without God's explicit permission) is to cause a LACK OF A LIFE that ought to be present -- a grave evil. The death penalty was ONLY permitted to protect the community from serious threat -- this threat doesn't exist today, thanks to current prison systems.
I love your channel, but I dont think the summary of the introduction and chapter 1 is accurate. This initial summary gives the impression that Fratelli Tutti is just a generic US centric social justice infused text. It is not, it is far more profound and also innovative than simply taking a side in existing trenches. It is visionary, and draws a clear line for forgiveness, truth, universal values, unity, the poor, against materialism and postmodernism. The key portion in the introduction, as the title, is concerning "human fraternity and social friendship", and how we can re-establish them in the current world. He wants the text to be as he says "a new vision of fraternity and social friendship". Because as he says if we just continue on as usual, we are denying reality. In Chapter 1, the serious attack is on postmodernism and the intellectual roots of the secular social justice movement. He decries. "A kind of “deconstructionism”, whereby human freedom claims to create everything starting from zero, is making headway in today’s culture". He continues the critique, reminiscant of the current upheaval and. denounciation of history across the world saying: "Concern about this led me to offer the young some advice. “If someone tells young people to ignore their history, to reject the experiences of their elders, to look down on the past and to look forward to a future that he himself holds out, doesn’t it then become easy to draw them along so that they only do what he tells them?" And continues "He needs the young to be shallow, uprooted and distrustful, so that they can trust only in his promises and act according to his plans That is how various ideologies operate: they destroy (or deconstruct) all differences so that they can reign unopposed. To do so, however, they need young people who have no use for history, who spurn the spiritual and human riches inherited from past generations, and are ignorant of everything that came before them”. This is not the Pope signing up for the social justice riots of today. It is not he signing up for redefining language and tearing down statues of our forefathers or burning down museums. It is the Pope drawing a clear line in the sand. In the video you say Pope Francis descries modern colonization. He does none of the sort. He on the other hand says that the deconstructing ideologies is equivalent to a "cultural colonization", turning a key postmodern critique against itself. The conclusion for that section reads "Let us not forget that “peoples that abandon their tradition and, either from a craze to mimic others or to foment violence, or from unpardonable negligence or apathy, allow others to rob their very soul, end up losing not only their spiritual identity but also their moral consistency and, in the end, their intellectual, economic and political independence”" That is Chapter 1. I am baffled that you just read the above text, and summarized it as you did in the beginning of this video.

"But for greater exactness I add this also, writing of necessity; that there are other books besides these not indeed included in the Canon, but appointed by the Fathers to be read by those who newly join us, and who wish for instruction in the word of godliness. The Wisdom of Solomon, and the Wisdom of Sirach, and Esther, and Judith, and Tobit, and that which is called the Teaching of the Apostles, and the Shepherd. But the former, my brethren, are included in the Canon, the latter being [merely] read..." Athanasius "Festal Letter 39" (c. 367 A.D.)
I'm a senior and have seen the Catholic Church slowly drift away from the Word of God, that is not unlike what Israel experienced when they left the precepts of God during the time of Zechariah. I read the whole document and frankly, it is just Marxist ideology mixed with pseudo Christian theology to make it palatable. Reading the document I seen little or no mention of all of preaching the the Gospel so that people could be saved. No mention of the sovereignty of God. A lot about what me can do, but not God. Only that men can solve the problems of the world. The Church has one function and it is not 'political' ideology disguised as 'theology'. It is to call the people to repentance and preach the Gospel so that people can be saved. "46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." The call of the Church is to preach the Gospel so that people can be saved, not political. Rome will be Rome and Caesar will be Caesar. Be careful what is called 'truth' because it feels good. But remember, " “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

Thanks for another great video. I know it is probably not good to get into beef with other Catholic youtubers so I won't mention his name, but I was curious to know what you thought of this argument against the encyclical: that it seeks to unite the world around the first Adam rather than the second? I haven't gotten around to reading it myself yet so I may be able to debunk this one myself but I wanted to ask you while it is still topical.
I think those criticizing it need to have a “come to Jesus” moment, because they’re clearly not focused on the right things. This document is incredible.
Read and listen to differing opinions , read it in light of the authors other works and how it squares with past church teachings "test all things hold fast to what is good".
Foundation for Christian Living, we are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.

I consider myself a conservative man, meaning that I don't like any change or action that isn't based, carefully planned, thought through and well reasoned. However, solidarity, charity, fraternity, equality - I do think that we have forgotten about those in our world. I'm looking forward to reading the full Fratelli Tutti. I see it as very counter-cultural in a way that the Pope "calls out" a lot of us who ordered our lives and communities too much under the "mantras" of earthly efficiency and even more so - materialistic profitability.
A lot of the language that our Pope uses is great since he tries to take it back from the Godless regimes that have bastardised it in times past and alienated the Truth behind it. Solidarity isn't socialism, fraternity isn't communism. No political doctrine can confiscate those words unter its own "ism". Those "isms" idolised humans as such, neglected our fallen nature and need for divine guidance. In reality- It's all about being mindful of the "Imago Dei" in each person. A well known saint once said - No one is made so entirely out of mud that you couldn't find a gold nugget inside of them. Whatever are our disagreements and however serious they are, let us remember to disagree as brothers. Whatever our problems and ills our, let us at least try our best to help as brothers.
I enjoy your videos fr. Cole. They are scholarly and done with a lot of technical skill. I'd like to see one on this "hustle" culture that's very popular on TH-cam and amongst youngsters.
Also, if I may, I have a feeling you'd enjoy reading "Tools for conviviality" by Ivan Illich if you haven't already. It's a "spicy" book that has some relevant points for our time.

Nice point about taking back very Christian words that have been stolen by godless ideologies! I've come across this point several times when talking about the teachings of the past several popes.

Peace be with you Father and I will pray for you.
Why not spend some time in this video addressing or “dialoguing” about the concerns of those ordinary people who are practicing Catholics? Why did the Holy Father not answer the Dubia? That would be a loving Fathers action. I answer all my sons questions for clarification because of love. I believe you should clarify your position on things as you are increasingly coming across as an apologist for those against the Catholic faith (although I know this may not be your intention). You can guess the concerns of people with this new document so why not help those people and acknowledge their issues. God bless.
The answer is this - the answer to the Dubia Cardinals are in the text of Amoris Laetitia -- they just don't like it -- tough - they owe obedience to it.
@@angelicdoctor8016 I agree that one needs to be obedient but one also needs to be clear on what to do and an official dubia is simply looking for clarification. God Bless Pope Francis and guide him and me and you to Jesus. We are all in this valley of tears together my friend.
God bless.
Our Lord wants us to be charitable, but isn't there a risk of appearing to be practicing syncretism. Our Lord clearly taught we are to baptize all nations and bring them to the one true Faith.
Any response to this question from "Breaking in the Habit"? Or is this legitimate concern simply going to be ignored?
A legalistic idea of baptism dismisses the greatness of God. We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in, knowing their souls ultimate trajectory, like ours, is between them and our Father.
@@karnsingh3768 "We can baptize in love, in spirit, and invite those in..." So the form and matter of Sacraments created by Jesus is superfluous, eh? The original question of Gabrielle is still a relevant issue.

Don’t see how this comes about without accepting Christ as Lord. Pope Francis seems to deny man’s fallen nature. Corruption has to be ended before the ideal society can exist.
Couldn't be further from the truth! When asked who Jorge Bergoglio was, do you know what he said? "A sinner." Francis is well aware of our sinfulness. What he is doing here is what every pope for the last 120 years has done: call us to seek the ideal.
The ideal as a concept or as a Person.

How do we relate all this "brotherhood" with salvation from the Lord?
@@stephenkamau4700 there is no salvation without brotherhood, or in other words : solidarity and caritas as lived expression of your faith! If you think that this is communism, well that's certainly one reason why Jesus was captured and executed. Then you can call Jesus the first communist. Have you ever been to Europe? Then you might know, how political communism really was. We in Europe care for our citizens.
We live solidarity here and the Catholic church has had a big influence on social laws. Our Pope is well aware of this.
Liberty, equality and fraternity was the motto of the French Revolution. One of the bloodiest periods in history.
Yes. We shall live forever under the brightest sun of absolutism and monarchy, the sun that's so bright it actually burdens everyone living under it with pain and misery. In a certain way, some of early Christians can be called revolutionaries, especially the ones amongst the Franciscans. “The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.”
- G. K. Chesterton. And now remember the saying of Saint Augustine: “What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”

You are right, and it's so bad, the the stonecutters have endorsed Fratelli Tutti. That should set the alarms ringing for real Catholics. We've all just been blinded and poisoned with modernism, instead of being fed with authentic Catholic church teaching.
@@Domas04 Human nature is inherently hierarchical-- the opposite of equal-- no matter how much you try to spin it. The structure of the Church is reflective of this immutable reality. Popes are above bishops, bishops are above priests, and priests are above the laity. Does this mean that such a hierarchy is a value judgment; that just because one is higher in an earthly hierarchy, that he is innately favored by God or closer to Him? Absolutely not. We are all endowed with equal view of worth before God. There can be, and often are, laymen who are more virtuous than some bishops. However, blurring the lines between the explicit hierarchical nature of humanity in order to justify rhetoric adopted by the Cult of Reason is indefensible in light of Christian doctrine. We help the poor because they cannot help themselves, as in they cannot be eternally brought to the level of the rich. Jesus told His Apostles that there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11; also invoking Deuteronomy)-- this was, is, and always will be true. Calling for smashing the "walls" of wealth inequality between classes is a fool's errand because it defies the aforementioned hierarchy of human nature. Marxism and Enlightenment-age liberal principles have all failed because of this.

Excellent synopsis. I have read this encyclical and you are correct in suggesting taking a whole week to read and digest each chapter for there is so much to reflect on and assimilate.
Can you help me understand how he can speak these things publicly while also publicly allowing the Chinese Communist Party to violate nearly every principle? A Chinese Communist Party who are also literally taking a leadership role in the Catholic Church previously reserved only for the Pope himself. Why not allow the President of the United States and the elected representatives in Washington the same ability to elect leaders in the Catholic Church? A clear bias in favor of collectivism makes his emphasis on the individual cynical at best. At what point does a person lose his God given liberty? I thought that was what the sacrament of penance was for. I get that smaller less developed countries have been and are being exploited but I'd like to hear a sincere answer regarding this obvious moral failing which to anyone paying attention could have disastrous repercussions for generations to come. Is a document like this even worth reading if it ignores these obvious truths? I don't want to make it my job to punish Capitalists for their sins and if that is Francis' intent he should be removed from the Vatican by any means necessary.
@@Canisius19 and used the mccarrick to broker the deal.
I recommend you watch odb films episode on the church in China so you can get a wider perspective
@@maribelandrade770 I watched the video and it only left me hungry for more information. CNA wrote a few articles about this deal being renewed recently and included a lot of details I wasn't aware of.
I don't know where you are from but as an American I can't imagine the Church having such a role in society as the Church in China has or wants to have. One of the Bishops Francis lifted excommunication on is also a legislator who voted to remove term limits for Xi. I can't imagine a Bishop in the U.S.A. being allowed to also be a Republican member of Congress who votes to remove term limits for Trump and somehow that flies under the radar. Not to mention a Bishop being imprisoned and then going missing and nobody mentions it because they know the GOP was involved.
Meanwhile Xi holds power over a government that is actually racist, actually putting people in concentration camps, actually disappearing people, has some of the harshest and cruelest laws, and Francis writes an encyclical that is mostly meant to turn the world's attention to Trump's weaknesses which he thinks are undermining capitalism (which he does not support.)
Sorry, but I just don't know how else to interpret this Pope's legacy except to say that he is clearly bad at being Pope. We should pray for him.

I confess that I have never read a papal encyclical from beginning to end. I'm going to have a crack at this one though.
Awesome!!🙏
Pease read Dr. Taylor Marshall’s analysis, The Remnant and also John Henry Westen at Life Site.
You ought to also read Laudato Si.
It is not worth it. I started and could not finish. The lack of examples makes the first chapter confusing. It seems a jab at the US for wanting to protect its borders. Then, you can't really understand. he speaks of evils in such a general sense that you can't really tell what is he talking about. He wants you to define what he says they way you feel like it
They are very daunting to be digested in small bits slowly ....
Thank you Fr. Casey!!
Love your insights & will follow your advise.
Fr. Casey, I so appreciate your videos. They are highly educational and at the same time they are very engaging. Please keep up this work!
Im not the only one that read the title as fruity tuti right?🤣🤣
Truly. Which is why I advocate, out of no disrespect for St. Francis, to have Fratres Omnes as an alternative title!
That indeed sounds tasty 😋
And to read it is indeed a treat.
That does make one think it as such if we only take the values of liberty, equality and fraternity as exclusively Masonic. Indeed the words may echo the cries of the French Revolution (which also gave us a huge share of Catholic martyrs); nevertheless, it remains valid that whatever is good comes from God.
Mostly implied.
Church Fathers? There are mentions of St. Irenaeus, St. Basil, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Gospel? One chapter speaks of the Good Samaritan.
Sin? Social sins such as discord and violence.
The Devil? He is at work in discord.
Salvation? It involves the salvation of the entire human person, and so the work of dialogue and fraternity is a work of mercy, a work of bringing the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Surely implied, brother, but implication does not mean absence. They're there, and if we can dig it up, why can't we?
As to Mr. Marshall's video, I haven't yet, but I will look it up at a later time due to my studies-and I mean it when I say that I will look it up later.
As to responding to you, you're welcome.
As a former Muslims this is very beautiful
We are all Brothers, and Sister's in the eyes of Jesus Christ.

The death penalty is the only thing I disagree on. While I do believe we need a massive overhaul of our justice system I also believe that there are certain instances where it is warranted. The overhaul I speak of can be a more stringent system of deciding who gets it but doing away with it will do nothing but harm us. I worked as an cop and a prison guard and I can tell you for certain that the word “death” scares a lot of people and I’ve personally heard inmates say that the death penalty is the only reason they didn’t commit murder.
I dont understand the disdain against individual and unique cultures for maintaining their identity that seems to be prevalent in a lot of modern discourse, seems a bit one sided to blame the ancestors of a people for having their own way of life even if they're friendly and charitable to others. Look at Sweden or Germany for example, it seems like at some point it became incorrect to notice how much take and how little give is happening with the waves of migrants and refugees. When does kindness become pathological altruism?
There should be no disdain up until it's a basis of division. Remember, there will be neither Jew nor Greek in heaven.
The Catholic Church tolerates and loves many rites of many particular churches, so an accusation of being the enemy of unique cultures is off.
Gal 3: 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Let's also refrain from CTRL-F analyses of papal and religious documents. It's not how to properly read text, and it's an analysis that can be easily manipulated to mislead. Take up and read!
Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno also don't mention "God the Father" and the "Holy Spirit". Deus Caritas Est by Benedict XVI mentions 'eros' 94 times, and 'Holy Spirit' twice. Does that make it bad?
*I mentioned this as well with the folks at Brian Holdsworth's channel! God bless!
Started reading the document today! Some parts are very thomistic, especially the possessions we have, we have for the good of the other. Thank you for your summary!
Thank you for this message. God bless you all and may His will be done, Amen.
Meanwhile, some publications tend to critizise Pope Francis' criticism of Capitalism... It's telling how much they know about Catholic Social Teaching since Leo XIII... not!
But I don't ever hear or read Pope Francis criticize socialism and marxism and how evil they are. Capitalism can be evil but socialism and marxism are intrinsically evil.
May I suggest going to the Vatican News, CNA, NCR and other more direct news sites? He has condemned Marxism and militant liberation theology! The Pope from the Americas knows the violence it causes first hand, but he knows that poverty, greed of corporations, and lack of education are all factors which make people erroneusly turn to socialism.
Also, Brian Holdsworth does a nice video on "Why I'm not a Capitalist". Cheers and God bless!
@@ipso-kk3ft Thank you I will check those out but I don't understand how anyone can say they're not a capitalist when it's the best thing to be in this imperfect world. Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than anything else in human history
@@ipso-kk3ft he really has not demonstrated an understanding of the evils of a state. Just read the encyclical. He promotes politicians as something which any person with two eyes can see they are not.
@@Patrick-tn7pb agreed that capitalism is the best we have. Seems that the issue here is a matter of perspective or trying to see things from the point of view of our brothers in central and South America. In those countries there is deep poverty, political corruption and many innocents killed by governments that protect corporate interests through violence and in turn these problems cause people to flee and immigrate. The pope is trying to propose solutions that safeguard people not just goods. If people were to ease up on the wild accusations we might be able to listen to each other and start finding common ground
Interesting how the Church once taught that capital punishment was morally admissible, changed that to always morally wrong and says that its moral teachings are unchangeable; that the change was just a "development" of doctrine. Diametrically different positions, one developed from the other.
there's a greater awareness now that its an attack on the persons dignity, they arent defined by their actions but as a child if God. We now have better methods to deal with these people
I’d like to see a whole encyclical just on the nature of punishment
@@isaacfleisig9220 sounds like St. Pope JP position. Different from saying it is morally inadmissible, fundamentally wrong as current Pope says. By the way, St Augustine and all church fathers to comment on this issue says it is BECAUSE human dignity is so great that capital punishment is the only punishment for things like murder.
Great example of our doctrine changes in the Church.
@@BreakingInTheHabit So perhaps some future Pope will change it back. Like any fashion, it returns. (develops)
Is the directive for nations to address geopolitical inequalities *through the UN specifically* in Fratelli Tutti? Or are you offering us an example/possibility.
Thanks for the video. I'm having a hard time with this one.
Yes...it mentions the united nationes
Paragraphs 173 and 257 mention the United Nations:
173: In this regard, I would also note the need for a reform of “the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth”.[151] Needless to say, this calls for clear legal limits to avoid power being co-opted only by a few countries and to prevent cultural impositions or a restriction of the basic freedoms of weaker nations on the basis of ideological differences. For “the international community is a juridical community founded on the sovereignty of each member state, without bonds of subordination that deny or limit its independence”.[152] At the same time, “the work of the United Nations, according to the principles set forth in the Preamble and the first Articles of its founding Charter, can be seen as the development and promotion of the rule of law, based on the realization that justice is an essential condition for achieving the ideal of universal fraternity… There is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[153] There is need to prevent this Organization from being delegitimized, since its problems and shortcomings are capable of being jointly addressed and resolved.
257: Since conditions that favour the outbreak of wars are once again increasing, I can only reiterate that “war is the negation of all rights and a dramatic assault on the environment. If we want true integral human development for all, we must work tirelessly to avoid war between nations and peoples. To this end, there is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”.[238] The seventy-five years since the establishment of the United Nations and the experience of the first twenty years of this millennium have shown that the full application of international norms proves truly effective, and that failure to comply with them is detrimental. The Charter of the United Nations, when observed and applied with transparency and sincerity, is an obligatory reference point of justice and a channel of peace. Here there can be no room for disguising false intentions or placing the partisan interests of one country or group above the global common good. If rules are considered simply as means to be used whenever it proves advantageous, and to be ignored when it is not, uncontrollable forces are unleashed that cause grave harm to societies, to the poor and vulnerable, to fraternal relations, to the environment and to cultural treasures, with irretrievable losses for the global community.
The Freemasons in Spain have given it the 👍

And anyone else who accepts Francis anti Catholic encyclical.
Spain is of no relevance in the world.
It has been morally defeated, and the Hispanic cultural realm is in chaos.
This pope does not care a fig for Spain. He has not bothered to set foot here.
Spain has been taken over with no efforts or pains, long years of european subsidies did the job. The goal now is elsewhere.
Yeah. That’s what I was implying. The Freemasons are enemies of the Catholic Church. We need to pray really hard for this pope and the bishops.
@@mya5980 newsflash - Catholic owe obedience to ALL teaching of Francis under Lumen Gentium 25 - time for an education, Mya
Pope Francis is changing on teaching of the death penalty is very difficult for me. I do not understand how we manage to do it, and I Think this is shaking my faith
Might I recommend learning how the issue developed? John Paul II did far more to change the teaching than Francis did:

@@MrKev1664 aye, mate I see. Thanks for your input
@@undolf4097 There is 2000 years of what the Church has taught. St Thomas Aquinas has wrote the doctrine of the Just War.
Pope JP2 has restricted the death penalty. Pope Francis has negated the use of the death penalty. But what is two Popes' teachings compared to 2000 years of Magisterial teaching ? They have no right nor authority to restrict or negate past teachings especially when they are not even Doctors of the Church like St Thomas Aquinas. Their theology aren't as deep and powerful as a Doctor of the Church.
The death penalty is allowed when it is exercised for the common good of society. Thou shall not kill is not a blanket ban on killing. If an enemy invade your country do you take up arms and kill the invader or in cases of self defense?
The 10 commandments came from the OT. There are plenty of examples when the Israelites wage war on their enemies and when they are faithful to God, He helped them win battles. The enemies of the Jews are killed. Didn't David killed Goliath with God's blessings ? Also look at the battle of Jericho.
So in summary look at what the Church has taught for 2000 years especially when it's coming from The Magisterium. If a Pope is not speaking Ex Cathedra, you don't have to listen to him.
That's right , the beast of rev 13 ROME , will force Sunday sacredness apoun the world , not the Bible Sabbath according to GOD'S word , if you would like to lurn much more , please go to amazing word ministry's on u tube and hear Bible truth and news from around the world TV and radio news do not want you to see or hear and be set free AMEN .
Then why is Pope Francis silent on our muslim brothers and sisters in Xinjiang
Muslims aren't our brothers and sisters. Obviously what's going on in China is wicked, but Muslims are not baptized and dont hold the true faith.
@@Patrick-vz6im I think he was being cynical, since Fratelli Tutti states that we shalll be brothers and sisters to all, regardless of faith.
Fr. Casey, I'm one of your followers here. I admire your wit and intelligence and I learned a lot from you. But I also follow Dr. Taylor Marshall. I don't subscribe to everything he says, but he is not wrong! His criticism of the pope is well-founded.
Sorry, they’re really not. I don’t know what else to say other than that Taylor Marshall is wildly off base and out of touch with the Church.
Drop Tecson II when this father refers to "the church", he's talking about the Father Martin, Father Dan Horan, Cardinal McCarrick church.
Anytime this priest tells you that someone who you follow is "out of touch" with the church, take that as a compliment.
Bring back a pope like JP2!..Would follow that man to the ends of the earth..TG we have lived in an era where we have been graced to hear and see him! We have a solid reference point.Would be more inclined to go back and read his encyclicals than to trust anything being produced by the present incumbent.Pray for Pope Francis..
I am baptised since one year, i pray for help to understand, thank you.
Thank you for this summery - Not being Catholic I was not aware of this new encyclical, sounds like it will make a very interesting read.

I would suggest that if you have not read it thinking it was "freemason propaganda that you actually read it. If you have read it, maybe try reading it again remembering the words in Micah 6:8
"He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?"
Please read Dr Taylor Marshall’s analysis. Also The Remnant and John Henry Westen.
@Ricardo Villamil I'm noting the "technically" and "apparently" in your statement.
Perhaps (presuming from the "apparently" that you have not done so already) you should read it and then make a decision as to whether it is "good teaching" or not. The bible tells us multiple times to discern the truth through the Holy Spirit and "test" teaching - it sounds so far to me like neither of you have actually read it first, prayed about it, checked it against the scriptures, and established teaching before criticising it?
Not quite sure why you are also putting these comment on my reply to Fr. Casey when I made it clear I'm not a Catholic, so there is an irony that as a none Catholic I am having to tell you (who through at least one of your profiles I am assuming are Catholics) things about the pope's writings and asking you to discern them against the bible, Catholic / Christian teaching, and the Holy Spirit, and effectively defend a Catholic document to you when all I originally did was thank Fr. Casey for the recommendation and summary.
So far, if Fr. Casey invited me to a service, or chat over tea I think if the timing was right I would happily accept his invitation. I am doubtful I would do the same with you both - not great evangelism on behalf of the church...
@@CB-ou6gc thank you for the recommendations, I may review discussions for and against the work once I have read the work itself.
@Ricardo Villamil there is an obvious difference between an encyclical approved by the church leadership and a smut film so your analogy is weak.
We are taught by the scripture to beware of false teaching and to use discernment, but you are judging the popes work without reading it, and "putting your faith" in others.. How if you have not read the work with an prayerful and open heart can you judge whom is the false teacher?
Again, I would suggest you read it. If God is in you and Pope Francis' words are unworthy, then they will cause you no harm and you can speak from a personal analysis and fair and unbiased judgment rather than another's words on your lips. If God is in you and Pope Francis's words are worthy then God will speak to you through them.
I hope either way that God blesses you and fixes your eyes on Him alone.
I’m looking forward to hear your summary but I’m gonna wait until after I read it. I’m doing my best to read it with as few preconceptions as possible.
Great idea.
From beginning to end, it reeks of Modernism, masonic principles, total apostacy. Sprinkling the mention of God once in a while to disguise its poison. This paves the way for the one-world religion which the globalists are waiting for
Pease read Dr. Taylor Marshall’s analysis, The Remnant and also John Henry Westen at Life Site.
We are all brothers and sisters, children of God, IF we are baptized. P. Francis is twisting the actual teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi. We are all definitely creatures of God and, in this, we are a kind of a family and should take care of one another, but again, his misleading/confusing forms of writing would tend to conclude that all religions are the same and that they worship the same God, which is totally wrong. Ask Muslins or Jews, for example, they won't agree that they worship the same God as us or that Jesus is the Messiah, which is essential to be saved: Accepting Him as our Redeemer and Savior.
Just found this channel looking for more commentary on Fratelli Tutti as I read it. This channel looks fantastic!

Very important.
I love Pope Francis, he is of course the current who sits in the chair of Peter, and the head of our church and I would never want to disgrace or disrespect the Holy Father. His encyclicals "Amoris Laetitia" and "Laudauto Si" are marvelous. This encyclical, I have kind of a problem with. This encyclical mentions "The haves vs have nots" (rich vs poor), and it mentions that we have to adopt ideas and morals from others who are not Catholic, and that there are only collective identities and the individual needs to be abolished as well as all culture and national heritage. All of this is against church teachings by the way. Many popes have condemned Marxism, Moral Reletivism, and Collectivism. Just read "The Syllabus of Errors", "The Catechism of the Catholic Church", "Rerum Novarum" and many more.
I know that Pope Francis does not advocate for going against Church teachings in any regard, but to a "luke-warm" Liberal Catholic, this document gives them the wrong ideas. I have a friend who is such Catholic, and they read the part where it mentions that we need to "talk and listen to others in order to find out the truth". They said, "Wow, so the truth is not in the bible or Catholic teachings then?! Great, that means that we can now allow female priests and homosexual marriages." I said, "Those are not the teachings of the church, read "Inter Insignores" and the Catechism, as well as the Bible, they said, "Well Pope Francis just said the counter to that, so that is now Church teaching."
The last few Popes were not very clear, Objective, and stern with their Encyclicals, which has lead to a lot of confusion among Catholics who are not well-versed. Clarity is charity.
Garrett I do agree with you 100 percent . When teaching my kids I tell them that people are looking for the truth but no one , no other religion, government etc can give them the real truth but Jesus Christ Himselft who is teaching us what is the truth through the Catholic Church. Many people, religions or systems have claimed to posses the truth but we as Christians ( Catholics) know the Jesus Christ is the only Way and the only Truth that's why this encyclic is very confusing indeed.
Which part of Catholic theology justifies using violence to redistribute the produce of one group to the hands of another group?
Even in the parable about the man who pays the servants who worked less the same wage, the employer says, "Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me?"
Not to reduce the full truth of this parable, but it seems plain to me that a person is due a right to his property. How else can the story be justified?
That's to say nothing of sharing and caring for your neighbor. But there seems to be a monumental difference between sharing/caring for your neighbor and using state violence to redistribute the produce of others. After all, is a man not permitted to choose how his property will be used?
which part of the encyclical is in error? quotes?
Taylor Marshall did a longer comprehensive analysis of this " encyclical".
Taylor Marshall is just a Protestant at this point. No Christian humality in that man and he constantly bashes the Holy Father while praising worldly leaders like Donald Trump. Not saying Joe Biden is any better im just saying Dr Taylor Marshall would never say anything positive about Francis. I used to watch him and Tim Gordon when they were friends but Taylor Marshall got into a petty argument with Gordon and both there egos were way to big to make up. Just saying wouldn't take advice from that guy although his books the crucified rabbi and eternal city were good though and very helpful to me. God bless
Men, the level of crypto-Protestantism under Catholic aesthetics is insane in the USA. Those rads do a really bad service to the Holy Church. Oh gosh! From a Latin American Catholic (ps: I am a conservative and Pope Francis wouldn’t get my vote if that was the way, but I am Catholic. Simple as that).
@Crusader of the Holy Grail I agree with you entirely.
Taylor Marshall has become a conspiracy nutcase. I can and have handled Taylor Marshall's nonsense. He can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
Man, you're crankin' the vids out.
Isn't this vision a unity around Adam instead of Christ? I think it is a confusing and painful encyclical.
I see it more like a call of attention to everyone to apply Christ teachings to our world and daily life, after all, that's what He wants from us
@@luispablogonzalezv4522 true, not just being Christians by name but by actual actions
read it again and again to see the wisdom of Francis - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
The command was "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,". There is an over emphasis on dialogue (to what end?) , Ecumenism and recognizing the good in other religions. Our mission is not to find what truth exists in hinduism or islam but to bring them to the One True Lord. Man's intrinsic worth from God, his fallen nature and his redemption through the cross cannot be just glossed over as if they are self evident. These truths need to be proclaimed in the name of Christ. The Church is becoming more and more uncomfortable to ask others to denounce their false worldviews.
But how did Jesus convert people? With love. You won't convert anyone unless you love them first.
As a Catholic, I have a hard time with this teaching. It seems to suggest that if you see something that appears unjust you must act to right it. Not to determine weither it is, or it isn't, just. But to assume justice based on what are shallow outcomes of circumstance.
nothing wrong with struggling - keep struggling! We should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
This is the first positive analysis of this encyclical I have heard or read. Thank you. Please pray for the Church. There is such division between pre-Vatican II and post-Vatican II as if Vatican II represents a political view. Blessed Mary ever Virgin pray for your children and your Son’s Church. We desperately need your intercession for the graces we need to hear the Holy Spirit working in our Holy Church.
Might I recommend looking into other sources? There are *a lot* of positive responses to this encyclical from major sources. There are some negative ones, yes, but if you haven't found any positive ones you're not looking wide enough.
So is this "Catholicism in Focus" or "Breaking in the Habit"? Just wondering 😇

@RCWarriorD Ibarra. Where in FT does it state that all religions are equal and willed by God ?
@@Canisius19 .??
Fratelli Tutti states the following about different religions
Christian identity
277. The Church esteems the ways in which God works in other religions, and “rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions. She has a high regard for their manner of life and conduct, their precepts and doctrines which… often reflect a ray of that truth which enlightens all men and women”.
This shows the pope is for one world order communism.
Ecumenism level 100%
@Simon Laberge sinful comment - you owe obedience to ALL of Francis' teaching under Lumen Gentium 25
@Simon Laberge you are certainly sinful in rejecting Fratelli Tutti, since in doing so you reject the teaching of an ecumenical council -- is that news to you really?
@Simon Laberge Catholic, but of course.
@Simon Laberge yes to Fratelli Tutti - no options for Catholics with understanding on this; more details will come from Francis if he wants to say more on civil unions. I would say this - civil unions would need to be differentiated from homosexual unions (which the CDF has already quashed). We could say that two gay men living together as faithful Catholics (only philia and agape love - not eros) would be without sin. Some wacko rightists argue that would be an occasion for sin -- but that is not true, as any occasion where two gay men are alone is not simply an occasion for sin -- it's an insult to their professed chastity as Catholics.
@Simon Laberge it's a fair question, Simon -- my understanding, though I need more info, is that there would be certain legal privileges (eg. when one person becomes ill and there needs to be decision making, visitation rights, etc.) -- it's the legal privileges that would be an expression of God's mercy in this sense, since in and of themselves the privileges don't condone sinful acts.
Friar, I disagree with you on this review...
This would be a wonderful document if written by the UN. However it comes from the Chair of Peter. The Vicar of Christ.
Without getting into what is in the encyclical, you covered some of that. Let's talk about what is not in the letter to the faithful from Peter's Chair.
A word count from Fratelli Tutti:
Creed
1. One God
2. Jesus Christ
3. Holy Spirit
1. Catholic Church
Church History/ Dogma
0. Salvation
1. Trinity
1. Dogma (negatively)
3. Augustine
2. Aquinas
0. Ecumenical Councils NOT VII
0. Magesterium
3. Catholic
1. Morality
Masonic Buzzwords
15 Equality/Inequality
5. Liberty
47. Fraternity
This list is only what's lacking in the 20 minutes I've been thinking about it.
Add it all up and the Word of God vs. that of the Mason's, enemies of God are this:
Masons- Liberty Equality Fraternity - 67
God- 19
Friar,
We are but passing through this world, our eyes on the promise of a new heaven and a new earth.
To have a vision for a compassionate life for all in this world is kind, indeed loving. Hiding the answer to the suffering experienced in it is NOT! And offering alternate solutions is diabolical!
Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, Beginning, End, all in all.
God bless you Friar.
Your wrong in your logic. Your misreading may be caused by the devil.
Who is this encyclical written for? Is it not meant for us Catholics?
Is the message expressed in the video not in the Gospels? Is it not Christ's commands to love one another and to be perfect as the Father is perfect?
We as true catholics don't need to be reminded that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, or that whatever he writes comes from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
You sound to me like protestants wanting to repeat the name of Jesus as if it was a mantra. Only Hindus need to say the name of the god they're praying to, for they have thousands. We as catholics know our ground, God is one and Triune, we know who He is as introduced by our lord. Everything coming from the holy Church, including Vatican II, is from God's, he hasn't appointed any other interpretating authority than his Church. Are we saintly people to correct what comes from the chair of Peter? Are you saintly?
So if you're not a Saint, why would any true catholic listen to your misguided thought?
Our hearts are burning and longing for our Triune God, He satiblished his Holy Church and whatever it comes from it should be taken as inspired by God himself. If there's something wrong, then we pray for wisdom and Most of all Charity to point out the possible mistakes, just as Christ instructed.
@@umatveg Who is this written for? That is a good question. The Encyclical doesn't say does it? There is no traditional "TO THE BISHOPS PRIESTS AND DEACONS
CONSECRATED PERSONS
AND THE LAY FAITHFUL
ON FAITH." Only "ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP."
So I ask you who it is written for? Is it an open letter to the world?
I appreciate your question. I will meditate on it and hope to guess correctly as I and the faithful do with most of what comes from this Papacy.
@@mrmaggoo35 whatever the answer you get from meditating will be summ up in this undeniable truth, that letter is written for all of those whom God wants them to hear his word. Those who have ear listen.
What about Encyclicals like Rerum Novarum? Holy Spirit shows up 0 times, God the Father shows up 0 times too. Benedict's Deus Caritas Est mentions Holy Spirit a grand total of 2 times, but Eros (erotic love) 94 times. Simply hitting cntrl-F as criticism is a poor shot, as by the same logic, you'd be condemning "great" Encyclicals with similar word counts.
equiality and inequality are no only terms that can be use by freemasons christh himself talk about it, liberty was a gift given by God , we gaveus a free will, caue love should always come from freedom , and fraternity is all the human species we are brothers and sister cause we have one Father, GOD
Fr. Cole, given the video presentation and some comments you left down below, I believe it my duty to call to your attention some quotes from Pope St. Pius X's Syllabus Condemning the Errors of the Modernists:
The following positions were formally condemned by the pope and cannot be held by a Catholic in good conscience:
53. The organic constitution of the Church is not immutable. Like human society, Christian society is subject to a perpetual evolution.
59. Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and all men, but rather inaugurated a religious movement adapted or to be adapted to different times and places.
On this second quotation, I specifically refer to Christ affirming in the gospels that power had been given to Pilate to put to death, and every pope and orthodox theologian until only the past decade or so has affirmed (even carried out at times) capital punishment. Therefore, to say that the Church's teaching has "developed and evolved away from the barbarism and simplicity (dare we tied these words to our Lord) beliefs of past centuries towards our much more enlightened times" is problematic. Christ stated explicitly that power had been given to earthly rulers to put to death, Thomas Aquinas explains well and at length for us the rationality of the death penalty, we dare not cast it aside as something positively sinful.
Christ also charged us with making disciples of all nations. This is irreconcilable with the belief that God wills a plurality of religions, that there is a universal brotherhood of man which transcends even religion. Uniting under Adam is the precise inversion of Uniting under Christ.
Love this Fr. Casey!! Thank you for your ministry.
Annoys the heck out of me how Fr. Cole bluepills so much. Fratelli Tutti is a disaster
Yeah the channel's kind of unwatchable for me at this point. Makes me sad but you've gotta be honest with yourself.
Dr. Taylor Marshall team
After reading these comments, I'm nervous about the future of the Church. This video begins, "It's no secret that we live in a divided and contentious world these days." And within this very comments section, we see it playing out. There seems to be a growing rift, even in our Church.
It's also no secret that the guy himself has picked a side like everybody else. After all, compromise just means that everyone gets to be only half-right, which is as good as being wrong.
A big and deep document well explained in a nutshell Fr. Cole. You have your own style. Thank you for it.
Pease read Dr. Taylor Marshall’s analysis, The Remnant and also John Henry Westen at Life Site.
@@CB-ou6gc Please avoid "traditionalists" (essentially the new Protestants) who put conservative values above Catholicism -- Marshall/Westen/etc.
@@angelicdoctor8016 So which side should we listen to? Or are you telling me yours is “the one”!! These “traditionalists” you mentioned also follow the Church and have priest and bishops as guests that have the laying of hands from the SAME church you go to!!
A priest long ago gave a wonderful interpretation the the Good Samaritan. The Rabbi went by and kept going. He was not an evil man but feared that if the person in the road was dead and the Rabi touched him the Rabbis would have to go thru a long purification process.. He feared that he would not be able to officiate over his congregation and one man to deprive many was not a chance he wanted to take . Basically the Rabi is just human and capable of making mistakes and even go against what he knew was right to stop and help the man in the road He is only human .(high priest or any clergy truly wanting to serve God but only human). The rich man was likened to politicians. He just kept going for his own selfish reasons. If he stopped the robbers may be waiting in the bushes and he would end up the same way. He was not about to risk his neck when he had his own neck to worry about. (Pilate and wealthy and political men). The Samaritan. The one rejected by all willing to touch the untouchable, willing to put his neck on the line willing in any case to help anyone. Jesus, the only one you can trust to have no motives other than Love. The robber is satan and his demons in every interpretation. The man in the road is us.
This interpretation can be likened to our own time. Our Pope has obligations as pope and they include keeping Catholics safe and evangelization and perpetuating Jesus Church. Our Pope negotiating with the Chinese. He is hoping to prevent a slaughter. Our Pope suggesting married clergy. He is hoping to keep the church where God wants it to be and it can't be done without human intervention - priests. We judge him but will never really know if he is right or wrong.
@@christiandpaul631 "We judge him but will never really know if he is right or wrong " yes we can , and yes we will , in your example he sent the mccarrick as his representative , that tells you all you need to know , do you think that the ccp did not know all about the filth from the Vatican ?.
You need to talk with traditional priests, this bushes and robbers thing where did this come from ? that he was trying to twist a parable from Christ himself tells the quality of his understanding and teachings.
Will the passport requirements for Vatican City be eliminated now? Will we see this new approach as a sign of solidarity? God Bless Francis and the Entire World! May we all find and love more deeply, the one Truth, Jesus Christ. If not, there will be serious consequences to pull us back to the Truth.
Passport requirement eliminated? Don't hold your breathe. "Do as I say not as I do."
As far as I know, there are no passport requirements in Vatican City and the border is open 🤔 The trouble is that you have to enter Italy first, and good luck obtaining a visa if you are African... 😢
@@ThePlatypus94 thank you
There's no passport requirements for the Vatican.
@@nenita541708 yes thanks, it’s Italy one needs a passport to get to VC
Thank u for explaining this. I too have never read an encyclical and it’s just great u broke it down for us so that at least I know what it’s about!
I started reading the encyclical the moment it came up on the Vatican site. Thank you for creating such an excellent summary. It's distressing to me that so many of the so-called Catholic sites are so disdainful of Pope Francis. I appreciate his leadership in a time of plague and lies.
This was a beautiful video and I really needed to hear it. Thank you 🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏Thank you for sharing your insights, & so grateful!! Hoping to take up your suggestion to study, with a group, & put it into practice!!🤗 & praying for all, to not take offense, but choose charity
I can't wait to see the next explanation video.
I wish Pope used the parable of the unforgiving debtor to speak of brotherhood. That parable showed that human brotherhood is supposed to be based, not on mere human compassion, but the mercy of God. But perhaps that would be too openly Catholic, theologically.
Wonderful talk dear Rev.Father,tnx n congrats.
Thank you Fr. Casey for explaining Pope Francis' encyclical FRATELLI TUTTI so beautifully.
Thank you Father Casey.
pagan and comunisto manifest,,,he think that we are stupido tutti,,,,,viva christo
nonsense - your comment is without evidence -- notice that you can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
Let us love the sinner without justifying the sin.
If I tell someone where they should go but do not assist with directions to get there or even how to get to the highway, have I helped them? Of course not.
Politics will not change in our society until each of us acts with Christian principles. In the current environment this sounds like a cry like “can’t we all just get along”. I agree with the Holy Father and as a society we may likely change with baby steps. Let’s focus on the upcoming election: pray for our nation because God has an immeasurable ocean of Mercy for us all.
It starts in the heart of an individual. It's this little mustard-seed that Jesus spoke about. Huge oaks grow from a tiny little acorn.
Thank you father for bringing this to us. I do believe Papa Francesco is a saintly and wise man. I am very grateful for his papacy. I just can't understand why so many are angry with him. A friendly suggestion: slow down your delivery a little bit. This will give your listeners more space to register the ideas you are presenting.
The Freemasons love the Fratelli Tutti.
News - God loves Freemasons.
Even though Catholics can't be Masons and though Masonic errors are fairly obvious, it doesn't mean we should despise Masons.
@@angelicdoctor8016 I got news for you. I have free masons in my family including my favorite uncle so don't preach to me about having love for free masons. You are very arrogant to make judgments against others without knowing them. Get off your high horse!
Thank you Fr Casey.
Very good short presentation. Greetings from London, England.
Thank you fr. Casey 🙏🙏🙏
Pope Francis is not just a great pope but a great role model for the whole world.
I hear this message about treating everyone equally as brothers and sisters. Everyone sets out with this understanding. However,
It's a difficult teaching when we know so many miligned people wish to manipulate you.
Lord. Why did you let sociopaths among our kind. Turning brother against brother. Friends against friends and neighbour against neighbours.
It's difficult to accept this as wisdom.
With such dangers around us. 🙏🏻
Thank you Fr. Casey for this concise catechesis of Pope Francis' encyclical FRATELLI TUTTI. God bless.
How I wish someone can translate your briefing in KISWAHILI. Indeed whenever I read Romans 11:33 I continue to be convinced that the Universe has a super human able planner. Thank you GOD.
There is nothing new Pope francis is saying. While I think the pope put the message in a rather strong way, probably due to the confusion and suffering crazy politics is causing the world today, his message really is a reflection of the Bible in Ephesians 4:11-13 (much emphasis on
verse 13). So for more conservative and less theological Catholics, simply follow the Bible and you are good. Please stop complaining about everything and creating unnecessary division in the church spreading misinformation. Just follow the Bible, live the traditions, and offer your worship to God. Leave out the debates, they will not lead you to heaven.
"Please stop complaining about everything"
"Leave out the debates"
You're lucky our forefathers predecessors and past spiritual leaders debated and complained.
Remain FAITHFUL to the Holy Church of CHRIST 🙏💞🌹
The irony, it is God who continues the division of Nations (CCC 57).
The Church’s Mission is the proclamation of the Gospel until our Lord return. (CCC 58, 1040-1048, Mathew 28:19,20, Daniel 2:44).
The Ultimate Trial of the Church and how we will be saved is instructive, see CCC 675-677.
I do not understand a lot of comments here. I am from Spain, so I came from a very specific culture, including traditions, way of living, traditional festivities, etc. I totally understand the point of Fratelli Tutti. There has always been, at least in Europe History, migrations, invasions, mix of different people...cultures are not sth ecstatic, they are always changing. Communism prohibited culture. The mix of cultures and races due to inmigration is not eliminate a culture, is a process that has happened regularly since Humans were on Earth. Oc there are conflicts, problems, and sometimes you have to defend your country/territory/way of living. And nowadays we live in States were there are laws that defends how we live and persecuted those who try to vulnerate our rights or freedom. But pretend that poor inmigrants trying to find a better life are a sth like a threat for our cultures...they are not. Also, you can oc maintain your culture or traditions, but never think that yours are better! The mix of traditions in Europe is huge. The richness of our cultures is in part due to this constant change and movement of people. We as Catholics must help and give refuge to those who are suffering. We cant blame them from our own problems! I am more concerned about how Europe is losing industry power in benefit of other countries like China. There are people becoming very rich while middle class is losing wealth. The problem are not the poor inmigrants harvesting strawberries in the south of my country, but the companies, politicians and organizations taking advantage of an economic system that is not fair.
Even after listening this laudation I still think it is not worth to read it. 43000 words for supporting the UN declaration of Human Rights from a pope? I'd rather re-read 5 times the first five Oecumenical Councils decrees in Greek. Makes more sense and helps more my faith.
Then your faith is not really faith, Laszlo. You believe nonsense without evidence - you can't quote a single error in the pope's teaching; we should be clear - under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you and all!!
Matthew 16:1 And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Matthew 16:2 But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’
Matthew 16:3 and in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?
Matthew 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
Fr.Casey.. truth is in Christ where else are we going to find it.
Thank you, Fr. Casey for an insightful and comprehensive explanation. God bless your mission😇
You keep on using the word collectivism. That is really getting close to marxism and socialism. And we all know that socialism is evil. Right???
We had it first. Socialism is just a dumbed down (and Godless) version of Christian communities.
Patrick4 notice how your simple yes or no question, was not given a yes or no answer?
@@zwijac Yes I did notice that
Are you being dishonest and trying to set a trap for the father to fall in? Who in the catholic church think socialism is good? The father is right, is socialism the one extracting from catholic social teaching and not the other way around.
Forcing someone to answer, yes or no to a loaded question is not only unreasonable but plain evil
@@zwijac dishonest or plain ignorant, that was not an easy yes or no question. The father answered with much more substance than a simple yes or no.
Thanks for your insights. I read all of the Pope's encyclicals and learn from all of them. This one is a bit complex and frankly I don't think anyone can read all of it and feel comfortable. It may be that there is a such a fine line between the complex demands that it may only be a goal on the way to the Kingdom of God. Still it is good to have standard no matter how far in the distance it is.
This would be all great if it was in alignment with the last 2000 yrs of papal teaching. Sad but it is not and in blatant contradiction with scripture and prior teaching a complete fail.
How so? I haven’t really looked into it myself.
Sadly, you're incorrect -- let me suggest you read it again, this time with a view that the document is correct. Nevertheless, under Lumen Gentium 25, we all owe "religious submission of mind and will" to the teaching of Pope Francis, including Fratelli Tutti -- God bless you!!
@@angelicdoctor8016 oh sure use a 2VC document which does not hold water either. How about council of Trent or Florence or any other?

Father if the death penalty is admissible why did past popes support it.
Theology develops as we develop. th-cam.com/video/GfuFXh9OypI/w-d-xo.html
,@@stevelyles9021 I think what he meant is our understanding of human life is a lot better and the death penalty is no longer adequate or necessary for modern times.
think of it this way - goodness is existence that ought to be present (by God's will) -- this it the Augustinian/Thomistic view. Now, today we have prisons globally with opportunity to reform -- this is a greater good, since killing a human (without God's explicit permission) is to cause a LACK OF A LIFE that ought to be present -- a grave evil. The death penalty was ONLY permitted to protect the community from serious threat -- this threat doesn't exist today, thanks to current prison systems.
I love your channel, but I dont think the summary of the introduction and chapter 1 is accurate.
This initial summary gives the impression that Fratelli Tutti is just a generic US centric social justice infused text. It is not, it is far more profound and also innovative than simply taking a side in existing trenches. It is visionary, and draws a clear line for forgiveness, truth, universal values, unity, the poor, against materialism and postmodernism.
The key portion in the introduction, as the title, is concerning "human fraternity and social friendship", and how we can re-establish them in the current world. He wants the text to be as he says "a new vision of fraternity and social friendship". Because as he says if we just continue on as usual, we are denying reality.
In Chapter 1, the serious attack is on postmodernism and the intellectual roots of the secular social justice movement.
He decries. "A kind of “deconstructionism”, whereby human freedom claims to create everything starting from zero, is making headway in today’s culture".
He continues the critique, reminiscant of the current upheaval and. denounciation of history across the world saying: "Concern about this led me to offer the young some advice. “If someone tells young people to ignore their history, to reject the experiences of their elders, to look down on the past and to look forward to a future that he himself holds out, doesn’t it then become easy to draw them along so that they only do what he tells them?"
And continues "He needs the young to be shallow, uprooted and distrustful, so that they can trust only in his promises and act according to his plans That is how various ideologies operate: they destroy (or deconstruct) all differences so that they can reign unopposed. To do so, however, they need young people who have no use for history, who spurn the spiritual and human riches inherited from past generations, and are ignorant of everything that came before them”.
This is not the Pope signing up for the social justice riots of today. It is not he signing up for redefining language and tearing down statues of our forefathers or burning down museums. It is the Pope drawing a clear line in the sand.
In the video you say Pope Francis descries modern colonization. He does none of the sort. He on the other hand says that the deconstructing ideologies is equivalent to a "cultural colonization", turning a key postmodern critique against itself.
The conclusion for that section reads "Let us not forget that “peoples that abandon their tradition and, either from a craze to mimic others or to foment violence, or from unpardonable negligence or apathy, allow others to rob their very soul, end up losing not only their spiritual identity but also their moral consistency and, in the end, their intellectual, economic and political independence”"
That is Chapter 1. I am baffled that you just read the above text, and summarized it as you did in the beginning of this video.
Well said

"But for greater exactness I add this also, writing of necessity; that there are other books besides these not indeed included in the Canon, but appointed by the Fathers to be read by those who newly join us, and who wish for instruction in the word of godliness. The Wisdom of Solomon, and the Wisdom of Sirach, and Esther, and Judith, and Tobit, and that which is called the Teaching of the Apostles, and the Shepherd. But the former, my brethren, are included in the Canon, the latter being [merely] read..."

I'm a senior and have seen the Catholic Church slowly drift away from the Word of God, that is not unlike what Israel experienced when they left the precepts of God during the time of Zechariah.
I read the whole document and frankly, it is just Marxist ideology mixed with pseudo Christian theology to make it palatable.
Reading the document I seen little or no mention of all of preaching the the Gospel so that people could be saved.
No mention of the sovereignty of God.
A lot about what me can do, but not God.
Only that men can solve the problems of the world.
The Church has one function and it is not 'political' ideology disguised as 'theology'.
It is to call the people to repentance and preach the Gospel so that people can be saved.
"46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
The call of the Church is to preach the Gospel so that people can be saved, not political.
Rome will be Rome and Caesar will be Caesar. Be careful what is called 'truth' because it feels good.
But remember, " “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

Thanks for another great video. I know it is probably not good to get into beef with other Catholic youtubers so I won't mention his name, but I was curious to know what you thought of this argument against the encyclical: that it seeks to unite the world around the first Adam rather than the second? I haven't gotten around to reading it myself yet so I may be able to debunk this one myself but I wanted to ask you while it is still topical.
I think those criticizing it need to have a “come to Jesus” moment, because they’re clearly not focused on the right things. This document is incredible.
Read and listen to differing opinions , read it in light of the authors other works and how it squares with past church teachings "test all things hold fast to what is good".
