Thank you so much for this interview. I learned much from these interviews and it has me rethinking my position and consider what Jesus and the disciples would do.
Thank you for your channel.
I remember seriously being worried that time in Afghanistan with the Army would change me in bad ways. I thought about becoming an objector at the time. I went anyway, thinking that I could resist change and be an exception. Soon friends started to get killed and I started to become vengeful and hard. I was changed. Thank God that He brought me back!.......We are creatures that become what we do. Killing begets killing. Violence begets violence. Jesus is the answer
Stahlas, A book you might be interested in: "Killing from the Inside Out", by Robert Meahger. It helped me in a similar situation.
This was wonderful, I’ve been going through all of Fr. McCarthys work that I can find for about 2 years now and it’s been a blessing. I am convinced Christocentric non violence is the path we tread in following Christ. God Bless you both, from a Lutheran in the southern US.
I love that he mentioned Epictetus. I've been studying him independently for years. Ellen, I've only read The Iliad once but it's in my top five.
Marvelous 'catechism' on the essence of Jesus' Teaching and The Way of Salvation. Righteously severe 'condemnation' of how the leadership of Christ's Church - The Catholic Church - has allowed, promoted, promulgated, and lauded Christian violence in the name of 'defending the faith'. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for Fr. McCarthy's long and arduous devotion to Your Truth, and for Ellen being a faithful disciple. Please Bless them with Your Peace now and forever. Amen.
Your comment about being hit metaphorically in the nose (after Fr. McCarthy talks about boxing at 38:10) is insightful. I had never thought of it that way. Thanks.
I agree with Fr. McCarthy 100%%. Catholic’s in the early were exempt from induction into the Army because of their faith ….until the day came when that didn’t matter anymore. My heart was broken when I learned God wasn’t more important than the Government to the Catholic leaders. Years later, I was prepared to become a conscientious objector
when my son received an invitation from Uncle Sam. Happily that war dissolved. 💕
Fr McCarthy. At my Catholic services the prayer of the faithful includes Ukrainians and Israelis but not Russians and Palestinians. It also never fails to keep those in US military service to our country safe and blessed. Comment ?
Jim, I sent Fr. McCarthy your comment and this is from him:
Jim,
Such partisan prayers are not Catholic nor Christian nor Christlike and have no place within Catholic or Christian public liturgical rituals, especially a Eucharistic celebration where its integral meaning is that Jesus died for the salvation of all people, because He and the "Father of all" love each person and all human beings with a never ceasing agapeistic love. There is no God at the Holy Eucharist to whom a partisan prayer can be addressed because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are Catholic and we who are made in God's image and likeness are given existence and faith to be Catholic as God is Catholic.
And, the presider at the Eucharist, whether bishop or priest, should be unequivocally and unhesitatingly so informed if he does otherwise-and so should the congregation.
In Christ-God,
Emmanuel Charles McCarthy
What a powerful interview! In comparison, the whole Vatican II, trad vs modern catholic debate looks utterly silly and petty in comparison to what Fr. McCarthy has expressed throughout his life as a priest. Splinter vs a beam.
It really puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
The difficult thing is choosing the third way of Jesus. When I hear something on TV that triggers me my instinct is to go to the other side of the argument... find likeminded people on the "other side" of what I heard... but that just adds fuel to the fire. Heading here is that third option. It's not worth writing out what it IS that triggers me because someone else feels the opposite way and is just as right as I am.
So with 1700 years of institutional Christianity failing to teach Gospel nonviolence, what should we do about it? Why pay attention to proclamations of Popes and Bishops ? Why participate in the institutional church?
We should send everyone to the Behold the Lamb retreat! ;) teach-to-the-text.teachable.com/p/beholdthelamb
You don't put Jewish old covenant wine into Christian new covenant wine skins or
Judaeo/Christian is oxymoronic.
