All I can say is he’s not helping me bring my kids back to our faith. He’s leading them further away and his words were used against me. Jesus, I trust in You. I surrender to You. Please help me bring them back!
@@M0M0M0M0M Sure, there's a possibility of all paths lead to God as He can even operate outside the Church n his chosen. But now what's really confusing is that there are Trad Catholics, progressive Catholics etc. Someone is splitting the church. 🙄
That is incorrect. What possibility is there that other faiths like Islam lead to our triune God, when they reject Jesus as God? We can say that we have reasonable hope that such and such person is saved when for example they receive the sacrament of extreme unction and confession right before dying. What other religion has such sacraments? Read John 14:6 when Jesus says"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6 RSV-CE
Pope knows well the situation in Asia, and I as a catholic living in Asia, understand fully on what Pope said in the interreligious meeting with young people in Singapore. I am not sure why "western" people always (or, tend to) say that Pope is confusing. We as a catholic in Asia are getting stronger in our faith with the Pope visit, and especially with his comment/speech he did in Singapore. It gives us more strength to bring more people, that is currently in their journey to find God in the "other path", to the TRUE PATH of the fullness of God through His Church. My brother/sister who think what Pope said is confusing, please try to make a visit to Asia, especially Indonesia, where we as a catholic, living in a majority moslem population. You will know that to spread the word of God, is not by arguing or speaking out loud "we are true and you are wrong", to people who has different religion. But do the work, as Jesus says : Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
And haven’t you read your bible?? You are not worthy to be a Christian if u are a coward. You should declare the truth of the word of God with simplicity and courage, there’s no point trying to dilute to please others. The pope is intentional about what he said, and he believe all religions are way to the most high God, which is fallacy, the only way is Jesus, no other alternatives. The road to eternal life is not wide , if it’s wide, it will contain other religions, but it’s narrow, no other alternatives except Jesus.
@@FolkloreChronicles1 And...do you think when I quoted "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", I took that from some comic books or novel? If you (want to) regard me as a coward and not worthy to be a Christian (Catholic), so be it. I am a coward that have been living for almost 40 years, in the almost 90 percents of the populations are moslem. I am the only Catholic when I was at elementary school, then I know some more Catholic students (still less than 20 in total) in the higher education. When I was a child, I grew up listening to my parent, explaining our faith to our neigbour who sometime come to visit us just for a chit chat. They're all asking the same question, pointing their finger at the big cross we have hanging in the wall, saying that He is not God, the crucified one was not Jesus but the other person, etc. I am intentionally quoting "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", because this is what we do as a Catholic in Asia. Do you know how its fruit? Our church always full of people. We could see many people (adult) being baptized in the Easter Mass. How we (or our priest and parish) could do that? The secret is, we're not only reading the Bible. We also have Bible study. We read many documents, including papacy document, that are available online in the Vatican site. We go to mass. We pray for Pope and the Church. I am not going to dig deep into ontological and epistemological perspective of God, EENS, and other stuff. But I just want to point out, above all, the most important thing is (of course as a coward Catholic), we live our lives with the Bible. Sal Terrae Lux Mundi. So, I admire you for being brave and a worthy Cristian. Also for the other "westener" Catholics, who spend their time to bring this issue up since the controversial FS, and made us "united" as a Catholic. I hope you're also brave enough and ready with its fruit, since now most Catholic TH-camr's "teamed up" with non-Catholic, and also the mainstream media, to boil this topic. I guess you know well the passage from the Bible that says the phrase "you know the tree by its fruit", do you? May God Bless you and have a nice weekend.
@FolkloreChronicles1 Jesus said 'be as cunning as serpents and innocent as doves' This speaks to evangelization strategies based on the context and circumstances. I spent 3 years with Mother Teresa's sisters. In Muslim countries, where they could not openly catechize, they preached by example and not word . St. Francis said 'Preach always, use words when necessary'. This is often the beginning of evangelization to some people, who may conclude there is truth here, as they hunger for truth. Then, you may openly catechize.
@FolkloreChronicles1 yes read the bible. ROMANS 2.. 14For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law. 16on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge people's hidden works through Christ Jesus. Judgment by the Mosaic Law.
I say all of this in the hopes that you will see the light and the truth. I didn't know the Truth for 50 years of my life until the Lord came to me on a hike, and I've never been the same. You know the world has a different idea of what truth is, but Jesus, the Son of God, is the truth. What comes from Him is truth, and one day it will be all that matters. I’m not sure if you know, but sins are acts against God the Father of Jesus Christ. This God is your Creator. There are degrees of sin, with killing of another human being as the worst. Just like you probably wouldn’t want to participate in killing of puppies in their mother’s womb, likewise a killing of a human baby is much worse. There are consequences for this sin that might not be obvious at first. In fact, you don't even have to believe in Jesus Christ to be affected by sins against God. One day you will take your last breath, and you will be face to face with Jesus Christ, the Judge of every human being who has ever lived, and you will have to answer for your sins. I strongly encourage you not to vote for a lady who seems to delight and have a passion for abortions. This is not good for you and certainly not good for this country.l
Nor is it good for the unborn! Killed in the one place that they should be the safest! In their mothers womb! We need to pray for the forgiveness for these women. They may not know what they do! ❤
I am sick and tired of how we're constantly asked by Bergoglio's apologists to do extraordinary mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that what he says doesn't actually contradict the teachings of our Lord and His Church. Enough!!!
According to you, Catholics should also be Protestants: "Only our church is true, other churches are of the devil and are not Christian". Be humble and practice mental gymnastics. Otherwise your brain will atrophy
I'm sick and tired of those who refuse to call the pope by his name and do many mental gymnastics to claim that the pope has defected from the faith and corrupted the Church in light of Christ's promise that He will preserve His Church.
To put politely, bergolio has contracted biden's virus syndrom, he should now step down as he has failed to honor his role as succesor of Peter. He even ignore the very basic teaching. For Jesus said to us : “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me " John 14:6
I have to refer to Matthew 16:18 “For thou art Cephas (Peter meaning rock) and on this rock I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Jesus didn’t say this to Calvin, Luther, Henry VIII, Confucius, the Dali Lama or Mohammed
@@bucklr11 Do you understand that passage? Timothy Gordon tried to unpack that, and he admitted he is confused. "The gate of hell does not prevail against the Church." What part of the Church? Catholic people are Church, also there is a Triumphant Church in Heaven. The church also has good and bad people in it. What did Jesus talk about?
@@ScreamingReel500 if Timothy Gordon is confused then that’s up to him to stop overthinking it. If you are Catholic and you don’t understand that passage by now then go join the Protestants It’s pretty self explanatory
Excellent discussion, thank you so much for presenting this. It's true that there are seeds for the cultivation of the true faith, Catholic Faith. That's why the Catholic faith was able to be spread all over the world. Thanks for defending our faith and the Holy name of Jesus. God bless you Ken and Father.

In many “official” statements and “official” documents the pope confirms the Christian gospel “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus.” The statement everyone is up in arms about was ONLY an extemporaneous statement made for evangelization purposes and not for preaching the gospel message. The people he was speaking to already knew the gospel message. Peace!!!
I am newer to the Catholic faith. I went through RCIA during the pandemic and was confirmed Catholic in 2020. I very much appreciate this conversation and wealth of insight. It is frustrating when our expectations of someone in such a position do not live up to what we hope, but that is why Jesus came to us, because we will always fall short. That being said, obviously words carry a lot of weight, and perhaps there was more thoughts unsaid behind what he did say that would better explain his point of view beyond face value. Either way, this conversation has given me greater insight into the faith and strengthened my relationship with Jesus.
No where in the Bible does Jesus Christ say we need to be initiated! In 351, Baptist churches declared non-fellowship with the irregular churches (Catholic, for example) because babies cannot be saved until after salvation. Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. How can a baby confess with their mouth anything? Acts 28:28 - Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the GENTILES, and that they will hear it. No, gentiles did not need to become Baptists, Catholics, etc...to be saved.
I believe that Pope Francis put out a clarification on this! How draining it must be for Pope Francis when he says something off the cuff. Some people understood what he was trying to get at! May God continue to bless our Holy Father and the Catholic Church! 🙏
If all religions lead to God, Jesus died in vain and the New Testament is a bunch of lies. If all religions lead to God, why then the grand commission to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth? I am beginning to wonder if Pope Francis is more Judas than Peter !
We must absolutely abstain from judging his interior intentions, as only God can judge his soul. When Saint Paul corrected the first Pope he did not deligimitize his role as the Vicar of Christ, but he humbly corrected him.
@@cherylhaines93 You do realize that Christianity is different from all other religions in that Christianity recognizes the insufficiency of good works to get us into the Kingdom of God (not my words but St. Paul's)? Therefore, man needs Christ's saving grace to get a spot in Heaven (again St. Paul's words). So, my question is does Christ extend His saving grace to people of other faiths who do good works?
If a person is invincibly ignorant about the only true religion: Catholicism, but does his best to follow the Natural Law written in his conscience, and corresponds to all the graces God gives to that individual person to get saved, then by baptism of desire that person is incorporated into the Mystical Body of Christ: the Holy Catholic and Apostolc Church, outside of which nobody is saved. Therefore that person is a living but invisible member of the Catholic Church, having the life of grace, which make our good works supernaturally meritorious. If a person istead is not invincibly ignorant, but is either culpably ignorant or knowing what the Catholic Church teaches deliberately chooses to be into a schismatic group or into an heretical sect or into a non-Christian religion, then that person is automatically outside of the holy boat of salvation.
I am really tire of popesplainers. It was loud and clear what pope Francis said to the world. He is not some 5 year old kid who doesn’t know the consequences of his words and how people will take his words. Fruits of getting too much education in secular educational institutions are not good in my opinion.
The elder brother of the prodigal son complained to his father and the father didnt say " Shut up"! Instead the son was allowed to speak and the father explained. The Synod is in keeping with Jesus prayer of unity among Christians Jn.17:21
Whatever is wrong is wrong. We all want to justify. Jesus wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of One True God which is revealed Christ Jesus. I am a Roman Catholic but i totally disagree with Pope Francis.

Wow, how I wish that more priests were like Fr Stefano Penna! His humble mindset, tender voice and sense of humor are very “accessible” means of conveying his genuine love for Jesus.
To use the analogy of a relationship between a man and a woman in this instance is probably the worst to use to explain The Popes statement. The other aspect is that He tripled down on this statement on his return by declaring it a gift from GOD. This in fact indicates it was GOD'S Active Will and not His Passive Will as he previously stated. There is no excuse for this and I'm praying that The Holy Spirit will correct The Holy Father, that he will retract the statements, and, preach what Jesus taught his Apostles in Revelation. There are no other religions. There is only one, the one established by Jesus Christ. Everything else is either a Denomination, a cultural lifestyle, a sect or a schismatic sect. All of these are manmade and inspired by satan to be in direct opposition to The One True Holy Apostolic Church for the destruction of souls. Two examples of this are The Sacking of Jerusalem by Saladin and the Protestant revolt in the French Revolution.
You can add to that the Reformation because once Henry VIII wanted to marry Ann Boleyn and divorce Catherine of Aragon that was the start of the persecution of Catholics in England, which in turn spread across the world to the now 45,000 Protestant denominations. Some of them are so bitter towards Catholics in relation to the Holy Mother of Jesus that it’s sickening. The Muslims have more reverence for Her
@@ScreamingReel500 That's not the point. He is the head of The Catholic Church. He is there to safeguard True Church Doctrine, Dogma, Revelation and The Holy Gospels. He simply didn't do that, so, by omission of his duty in the seat of Saint Peter he has failed. It's not about his ideology, it's about what the Catholic Church has always taught and his statements in Singapore and on his return do not corroborate what the Church has always taught for 2,000 years as its tradition. He also left young people in the belief that their false religion is a path to GOD! He also reiterated that other so-called religions were a gift from GOD. This contradicts his original statement that GOD willed the plurality of religions through His Passive Will. So he has in actual fact made it GOD's active Will in his follow up statements.
This is the most embarrassing time in Roman Catholic history with his goofball Pope I don't care if this is not respectful to other Catholics or two other Christians for that matter this is only the truth as a true and 100% Roman catholic, I must confess that there is no excuse for what this old man is saying and doing all around the world
What kind of magisterium is out there trying to explain the rhetoric that is going on right now? I must tell you right now that I am very close to leaving the Roman Catholic church and I see this with tears in my eyes
It is NOT HOW we worship that is important but WHO we worship is the key. Different religions are the diverse ' hows' but the Catholic Religion tells us WHO to worship.
Yes, the Catholic Church tells/teaches you must see a priest for confession, use an idol-rosemary beads, and you cannot talk with Jesus directly. Etc... There are many 'religions' and they have many different gods for them. There is only one God and He is for those who believe Jesus died and arose for us.
@@donnaw3765if that’s what u think u know about the Catholic Church, u are horribly wrong and doesn’t know anything about it, all you have is misunderstandings.
On face value, Pope Francis is not wrong. Bear in mind, he is the Shepherd of the whole world, and he was speaking with different people of different religions, but nonetheless, also God’s children. He said “different paths”. He didn’t say, all religions will lead to God. There is a difference. Not all paths directly lead us to our destination; there are stop signs and twists and turns. Our goal as Catholics is to lead other people to the one God, the Holy Trinity. Inter-religious dialog is important and necessary. It is our way to connect, to evangelize our brothers and sisters that are of other religions. When they see us, become friends with us, they will see how the grace of God manifest in us. I think Pope Francis is right and not confusing. We are wrong and confusing if we insist that our God is better than theirs but they don’t see the image of God in us.

@@linvi_chemutai Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23). But let us not deny that Peter was given by our Lord the responsibility of a shepherd to his flock when he said, "Feed my lambs.", Tend my sheep.", Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). If we deny the role of Saint Peter and his successors as shepherd, we refuse to be feed and to be tended by our Lord Jesus through his servant.
I am from Singapore where Pope Francis held the talk. I can understand why he said that. We respect different religions in our country. LOVE is the universal language. And is LOVE that truly save us.
Jesus already said, “father against son, mother against daughter…”. Conflict is unavoidable but conflict need not be violent, destructive or divisive. Nobody is listening to Jesus anymore. Each man his own evangelist. Is this an oversimplification? Truth, good, beauty are the weapons in this holy war in the name of God.
Book of Exodus 20, 1-3, 5 (Douay-Rheims Bible): 'I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. (...) Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...' The Golden Arrow: May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen. (After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow" as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.)
The one thing that I know it clarifies is that the church that the Romans created back in the day, believes that there is no other way to be saved, even if you believe in Jesus Christ and worship him and take you as your Lord and save you and you live a life devoted to him That you’re not saved because you’re not a Catholic. You can only come to Christ Jesus through the Catholic Church. And Jesus never said that. only the Catholic religion says that.
@@cherylhaines93 True. And, we can go directly to Jesus in prayer for forgiveness, praise, requests, etc... You may interested in 'The Trail of Blood' (google images, read the explanation at the bottom). This shows why the Catholic church is 'irregular'.
The pope went to Indonesia for a friendly dialogue not to catechize. Even bishops have only jurisdiction in their own individual diocese. God wants us to live with peace and happiness than to know our doctrinal teachings but quarrelling with each other.
Thank you Ken and Fr. Penna for having this conversation. Much needed.

As St. Paul preached two thousand years ago, the search for God can take many imperfect forms, but they are each an imperfect search for the one, true, triune God of Sacred Scripture. Paul condemns false religions and preaches Jesus Christ as the reality and fulfillment of the unknown God whom the Greeks worship Acts 17:22-31.
St. Paul noticed that the Athenians also recognized "an unknown God" and he use that to explain to them that unknow God is the Creator and He is Jesus Christ. So, the same thing here that the Church recognize people of other faiths also seek the unknow God. Pope Francis also stated in the dialogue "There is only one God."

@@ScreamingReel500 Very true as Vatican II pointed out that it's up to the parents to play our part in proclaiming Christ to our children and to our co workers. But you cannot give unless you have something to give. Plenty of us were baptized but not catechized. But there is hope many saints started bad but ended up saints. It's not how we start it's how we finish the race. In regards to wayward children as many parents are weeping for their children as Jesus said on the way to calvary; Don't weep for me weep for your children. In that always pray to St Anne grandmother of Jesus mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary will help our children.
I admit I want to learn but couldn't understand the Catechism when I bought it 30 years ago. Why? The gift of understanding is not given to me like that of St Paul or the priests. It's a long process. When I see beauty in the words of God and respect them and love them, then I start to understand. All by God's grace. God is also unity and beauty as Fr. Corapi said.

Is a simple true, Grace comes from Christ through the holy church, the holy spirit flows from the heart of Christ to the entire world, without the constant offering of sacrifice salvation, would be non existent, that is why the devil want to get riddle of the sacrifice.
All rivers flow to the same one ocean but in differents paths. In a mountain there are are different paths to reach one and the same summit . I love all my 11 grandchildren though some dont know me. Interreligious dialogue is not a debate.
I can see the Holy Spirit is working on the seeds that Pope Francis has planted in Southeast Asia. It was an eye opening experienced for my friends from different religion backgrounds. Now they are curious about our Catholic faith. Believe me, most of them have zero idea about our faith and Jesus. That’s a good start. Therefore, I find that what Pope said was just appropriate for us. It wasn’t too much or too less. It was perfect to Southeast Asian, but might not to the others. For my understanding, as long as “Love” is a teaching foundation from any religion, Jesus is there. Because God is Love. Just that they recognize Him in different timing, different culture, different languages, different traditions and different appearance. Don’t forget, the salvation is open for the gentile as well. If you truly believe there’s only one God, then you wouldn’t have doubts of the statement Pope Francis shared in the interfaith dialogue. May peace be with you all 🙏
Zero idea about the Catholic Faith and Jesus is a good start? No, study of the Fathers of the Church, Church councils through Vatican I, and Scripture would be a good start. That way they'd see the truth about "Vatican II" and Bergoglio.

It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t speaking “from the Chair”, he he sowing confusion. He can be charitable and yet tell them the truth of Jesus Christ! God bless.
Fr. Penna is an absolutely amazing priest and we are lucky to have a man of this caliber in our diocese. He always does so much to help strengthen the Catholic Church in our city. 🙏
Odad, those who claim Pope Francis teaches heresy and error, are themselves ignorant of Catholic teaching and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! If we are being sincere before Jesus Christ and faithful to Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture, they teach that other Religions may possess goodness and Truth found in them, although partial! Pope Francis simply teaches that those people in these other Religions should take advantage of these gifts from God of goodness and Truth found in them, although partial and live them out by loving one another, as the Son of Man shall give to each according to one's works or lack of works! Why was the Good Samaritan, a foreigner outside the faith, justified before God by his work of mercy, and why was the giving of alms and prayers of Cornelius, a Non Christian Gentile, pleasing to God? Your job should not be hard at all if you were to know your Faith, and the comments of Pope Francis were not careless! I wish you no ill will, just that you do your homework! Peace and peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink!

@@matthewbroderick6287 That all religions have equal weight is an extraordinarily flawed idea for the Successor of Peter to appear to support. It is true that all of the great religions express a human yearning often with beauty and wisdom for something more than this life. Humans have a need to worship. That desire seems to be hardwired into our DNA. But not all religions are equal in their content or consequences. The truth will always set us free. When Jesus preached and hurt other people's feelings meaning not liked he didn't say oh let me clarify myself I didn't mean that but yet Francis seems to be saying oh wait I didn't mean that. Matter of fact word is from the Vatican today Francis might retract his statements so we will see or is it just click bait.
Again, Pope Francis teaches that Jesus Christ ALONE saves! So much for all Religions have equal weight!

@@matthewbroderick6287 The Catholic Church has had at least 20 anti popes meaning yes even popes can deny Christ at least 3 times but yes there is always forgiveness Thank God. To suggest, even loosely, that Catholics walk a more or less similar path to God as other religions drains martyrdom of its meaning. Why give up your life for Christ when other paths may get us to the same God? Such a sacrifice would be senseless. But the witness of the martyrs is as important today as ever. We live in an age when the dominant religion is increasingly the worship of the self. We need the martyrs and each of us as a confessor of Jesus Christ to remind an unbelieving world that the path to a genuinely rich life is to give oneself fully to another, to the other.
Jo h n B, sadly, you deny Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! Again. Pope Francis teaches that Jesus Christ ALONE saves!

At approximately @42:25? The other speaker make the point,(rightfully so), that God would never want us to pray for someone’s race, gender etc to be changed & yet God has called us to pray that we all come to faith in our redeemer Jesus Christ the messiah/messenger/God in the flesh via the fulfillment of the Torah….
If ‘All Religions Are Paths to God’ then salvation through Jesus Christ is meaningless. Face it: Pope Francis and many bishops, priests and laity do not believe apostolic teaching and have fallen away from faith as apostle Paul prophesied 2 Thess 2 and and Jesus in Lk 18: 8. Those who reject the Gospel CANNOT be saved. That is what Jesus warned: " He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16: 15, 16) St Peter in his first sermon also began by saying, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4: 12) The martyrs died because there is no other way Our clergy is typical of what Jesus said to the priests of His day when He utterly rebuked and dismissed them saying, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God." (Mat 22: 29) >>>
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “It’s important that we don’t lose the splendor of the faith - that we remain believers, Christians, Catholics, in the sense that Catholic always means “open to the world”... which means being tolerant and open, one to the other, in heartfelt brotherhood to everyone who belongs to our one Father and who are all loved by the one Lord.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION THE CHURCH, Vatican II: “Nor shall divine providence deny the assistance necessary for salvation to those who, without any fault of theirs, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God, and who, not without grace, strive to lead a good life. Whatever good or truth is found among them is considered by the Church to be a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”
Great is our mission to evangelize but even greater is our ministry to bring heaven to earth. Give me a wise leader who keeps these in perspective. Give me Pope Francis!
I appreciate what Fr was saying. That we must not focus on being right, but that the love of Christ is for everyone. No other religions are not Gods will . But that his will is to spread the news and love of Christ. I do believe we need to pray for our pope. He needs to not be afraid to show the face of Christ first in all he says and does.
😊There are many different paths to reach the summit of a mountain. There are also many different rivers but flow to one fhe same vast ocean. The pope says religions are paths but never said all are the same and equal.
This is what tires me with people like this guest that have numerous degrees, they use thousands of flowery words to gloss over one word, HERESY in this case! Popesplaining really does involve Olympic level gymnastics!
Some people are making different conclusion on the statement of the Pope that all religions are paths to God. Many Old testament Israelites didnt know Christ but were saved by Jesus Christ thru obedience of 10 com and Law of Moses, Lev.18:5, Jn. 1:17.
The Gospel is undeniably clear on this ... Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The Pope has muddied the waters on this for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. What more loving and unifying thing can be done than to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with all of mankind? I am supporting a young lady who is just entering RCIA and on our very first meeting the other night, we had to endure the teacher echo these words of Pope Francis...He said, "Isn't it a beautiful thing that all faiths lead to the divine?" All I could think of was what was probably going through her mind... if this is true, why should she even become a Catholic? Why spend the good part of a year and many hours of study, meetings and discussion to get to learn about the Catholic faith and build a relationship with Jesus Christ, if all religions lead to the divine and ultimately to her salvation? Why not pick an easier path? Why are we okay with allowing any confusion about the very first Commandment given to us by God - "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me." Where are the brave Shepherds in the Catholic church who will defend our faith and speak up against this insanity!
The Catholic Church denies Jesus in Vatican 2. No church father taught Vatican 2 theology. To think Muslim and Christians adore the same god is logically impossible. In the Quran Allah says he is NOT a father and has NO son. And Allah in the Quran said the greatest sin is to liken god to man. Allah of the Quran also said Jesus never died. Muslim adore Allah of the Quran and reject the god of the Bible by choice. They do not adore the same god like Vatican 2 teaches.
If you will, here is my perspective on the matter: A father had two sons to take care of, and one day he wanted them to learn a lesson and so he sent them out, one by one. One son with a grocery list at night to the butcher district of the town, and the other during the day. When one of the sons did not return late in the evening, the father went out looking for him and found the son, all roughed up weeping on a street corner, and his groceries had been stolen. The father kept silent and did not say anything, he helped his son get up, get home and took care of his wounds. The other son did as he was told and got home safe, with a bag full of groceries. The next day, the two sons were encouraged to talk about their individual experiences. And the son who got beaten up, asked his father infuriated, this; Father, why did you send me into the late evening, in the dark, to the market? Knowing very well there would be thieves and robbers, or even wild animals waiting for me to be ambushed or even kill me? Yet you send my brother during the day to get the same groceries without any risk to himself or the items? The father responded lacking wisdom; I figured eventually you would find a clever way to bring back home the goods safely. A wise father, a father with response ability does not teach in this manner, meaning, to prove a point. He does not put his son in danger, without going along with him, knowing what might happen, when there are other ways, better paths, to follow. You can make the analogy to what the Father of the Church did or did not do. We came from a world of many religions, where tribes and lands destroyed themselves without Christian morals, and sacrificed to idols, worshipped hedonism, and death cults, after Christ imbued the Apostles with the Holy Spirit and they went on to spread the Good News,, religion as it was before ended, and truth was manifest, people converted because the truth set them free, because in their words the truth was spoken, and they could feel it. They did not need persuasion because the Holy Spirit was speaking trough them. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church was born. And throughout the nations of the world, civilization itself changed drastically, unrecognizably from what it was before Christ. Not just in the Roman empire. But everywhere the Saints and martyrs went. To say what the Father of the Church said, brings tears to the eyes of the martyrs of the Church. Whom did not believe in a mere ideology, a monotheistic philosophy, but in truth itself, and what this truth entails. They knew Christ. That He was truly risen. Christ came to fulfil prophecy, to forge a new covenant. To unite the heavenly with the earthly again. To free the souls from Hades. And to shatter the vanity and the power of the evil one. To believe in these words of the Father of the Church is to revert to times from before the resurrection. Consider this, if the Lord, is the way, the truth and the life, that means, clearly, when going astray from the way, you lose sight from the destination, you go astray, you get lost, and this has consequences, when you are lead to believe it is fine to walk on a path, that reveals half truths, or no truths, you have fallen into lies and falsehoods, into deceit, into danger, into deception, into darkness, not only to yourself, but to the people entrusted into your care, knowingly or unknowingly, and the most terrifying realization, the Lord said, he is the life, this means, all the other choices or paths or truths, lead to a deadening, or to death, death of the mind, of the heart, of the soul, of this life, and of the spiritual life, and when pondering upon all three aspects bound to one another ,, we have a very profound command, a teaching, prophesy and a realisation all coming together. It is a very serious matter. The most serious of all. Not a trivial thing. That can be swept under the rug of social sensitivities, individual or collective conditioning, or cultural circumstances of the times. It is not relative to what we believe, neither of a philosophical, or academical nature, but what Christ said defines, the very nature of the order of life. And points clearly to the relationship between the Creator and humanity. Between Him and us. It is not a treatise about feelings. But it reveals to us, the meaning of The Passion of Christ. Of the tears of the Mother of God. And of the state of affairs in the world. And so, I say Lord have mercy on us all and save us. Through the prayers of your most Holy ever virgin mother Mary, The Theotokos, our Holy Fathers, all the Saints and Martyrs in Heaven. Have mercy on us, and ever keep us on the path of Your commandments, we humbly pray. St. Joseph pray for us. St. John The Baptist pray for us. St. George pray for us. St. Philomena pray for us. St. Padre Pio pray for us. Father Stefano Penna pray for us
Infallibility is only in the context of ex cathedra. I bet you 90 percents of the people do not look into that when they talk about infallibility. "Pastor Aeternus".
She(Church) talks horshit tales and kills tens of millions of peoples too and every war basically was blessed by church in Europa and other parts where catholicism have power over stupid peoples
Better yet, She proposes. CCC 25: The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.

@those who say, “what's wrong with Pope Francis‘s statement”during his meeting with various religious youths in Singapore. I would like you all to read the book of Acts chapter 2:14-34 in the NT bible about our first Pope - Peter, what did he say to the people from various religions and nations who were gathered on that day of Pentecost. Pope Francis should have taught the youngsters from the holy scriptures.
God has humbled/blessed Pope Francis to God’s will. Jesus tells us that He will draw ALL people to Himself: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhisms ARE people. Jesus repeats ‘DRAW’ -“No man can come to Me unless God, the Father, draws him” (John 6:44). NO MAN = no pope, no preacher, no pastor, no parent. To be saved, man must be DRAWN to Christ by Christ, Himself and by the grace of God who chooses on whom to bestow HIS gifts of FAITH, Love, Repentance, Mercy and Compassion.
Agreed. And Christians also forget only doing God's will, can enter heaven. Jesus also for bade his disciples to proclaim Him prematurely. Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents. 🙏
He also said "There is only one God" in the interfaith dialogue. Please watch the whole dialogue and not taking statements out of context. Today, during the visit in Belgium, he mentions Jesus. Do you follow that also?
@@ScreamingReel500 There is only one God doesn’t mean Jesus is God the other religions don’t believe Jesus is God but some believe in one God but he isn’t a triune God Clearly you are looking for a fight claiming I’m taking things out of context but I am making a statement and at no point was Jesus referred to as God
@@martinmartin1363 Jesus is fully God and fully man from the moment of his humanity in the womb of Mary. God is 3 divine persons in one God, one God in 3 divine persons, all the time, inseparable.
@@martinmartin1363 The setting the Pope was in is the interfaith dialogue. The limited of time only allowed so much to be q & a by the Pope visit. This dialogue was there before the Pope visit, so I assume these question you have also discussed. Interfaith dialogue, by its name its self-explanatory.
11:40 "If you are a parent and need to be loved, you are going to be a very bad parent." As a parent, I don't agree with this statement. Who doesn't need to be loved? We all need LOVE. Yes, I would want my children to love/like me but that didn't stop me from having to discipline them in love.
Theologically Fr. Penna was firm in explaining how Pope Francis was wrong. (He overlooked that Pope Francis calls everyone children of God but that is categorically wrong since we can only become children of God through adoption by baptism.) Practically Fr. Penna suggested that if I don’t speak the truth in love, then the listener gets to ignore me because I offended them by not having perfect charity (which only Jesus has). I don’t agree with that-starts to sound woke somehow as in we are not allowed to trigger any listeners.
St Paul clearly states that we are not born children of God but become adopted children of God through baptism. Either St Paul and the entire tradition of Catholicism is wrong or Pope Benedict is wrong. Smart man, virtuous, learned, Pope, etc. , but Benedict is wrong.
@BeholdAndLo-f4v I generally attend the Catholic orthodox DivineLiturgy, so I’m learning about the orthodox Catholic tradition and from their perspective the theme of the Latin right is Sonship by adoption. I’m sure the entire orthodox tradition does not base this concept on one little passage from scripture the reason I am sure of it is because if you just read the scripture, you see that it’s an enduring theme, also if you pay attention to the prayers at the beginning of the new mass of the Catholic Latin Catholic rite you will see that it frequently speaks about adoption. You are arguing for a very modern if not modernist view of the Catholic tradition, I am arguing for the unchanged and unchanging Catholic faith. I am arguing for a difficult teaching to accept, and you are arguing for an easy way to get along with everyone and not to have any problems. Jesus didn’t seem to follow that way and he urged us to carry our cross and to be his disciples who can expect to be treated like their master.
@BeholdAndLo-f4v i’m not sure that I should keep talking with you if you’re going to make statements like Saint Paul is silly and wrong. You were claiming higher authority than Saint Paul, while I am merely claiming to understand what Saint Paul wrote and not to have a personal opinion about what Saint Paul wrote, but you expressed to you the traditional meaning always opinion of the church, the official teaching of the church until Vatican to mess things up. That’s what we’re discussing: can we know better than Jesus Saint Paul, and the entire tradition of Catholicism prior to 1960? Can we change the faith based upon our own belief that we are so much smarter than everyone Else who lived including St. Thomas Aquinas and Saint Francis I’m choosing to say no I’m gonna go with the guys in heaven. You just said St Paul is silly think about that a little harder.
The Pope misled these youth and missed an opportunity to tell them that Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father. And then the dialogue could start to lead them to the knowledge the Jesus is God’s ONLY son, who died for their sins, rose from the dead so they can live with Him eternally!
Since Vatican 2 Jesus is not called God in any documents and mortal sin is never addressed in any documents it’s hinted at but not condemned as a mortal sin like abortion etc
@@xeraanimatics6653 But not Jesus is God 🙂👍 The average Catholic or any religious faith don’t see lord as God they see Rabbi or master or teacher etc but not that Jesus is God It’s like the Eucharist if it’s not explained properly by the clergy then it’s seen as bread and just symbolism in fact the whole Catholic Church becomes symbolism
@@xeraanimatics6653 I didn’t mention scripture the bible But Jesus doesn’t ever say he is God or he would’ve been condemned a sinner according to Jewish law he hinted at it even at his trial he hinted at his divinity and was put to death by the Jews under false accusations as he never broke the law When Jesus rose from the dead the disciples understood who he was as Thomas said My Lord and My God And this should be shouted from the rooftops by all the clergy and all catholics Jesus is God

That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21 5. Can there be any agreement between our Father and idols or us and idols found in other religions❓ 🕊️”What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,” 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 6. Does our Father hate the things people do for other gods in other religions❓ 🕊️“Take heed that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?-that I also may do likewise.’ You shall not do so to the Lord your God; for every abominable thing which the Lord hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.” Deuteronomy 12:30-31 7.

Why don’t certain people believe in Jesus❓ 🕊️“Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe.

Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confirmation: 📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215). Peter’s Authority: 📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)]. These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D. Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️ Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it. This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it. 🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15 We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
@@donnaw3765 🕊️Should Christians renounce religion (The Catholic Church)❓ In order to properly understand this statement, we must dive deeper into scripture and allow our Father’s Holy Spirit to reveal his truth. 1. Did the Jewish community reject Jesus’ teachings❓ 🕊️“When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But passing through the midst of them he went away.” Luke 4:28-30 2. Did the Jewish community reject Jesus’ as our Lord & Savior❓ 🕊️”For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.” Acts 13:27 3. Did Jesus pick the Apostle Peter to build his church❓ 🕊️“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 4. Did Jesus’ request to the Apostle Peter to build his church lead the Apostle Paul to create a new religion amongst them❓ 🕊️“Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 5. Did the Apostles appoint elders (presbyters / priests) in every church❓ 🕊️”And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.” Acts 14:23 6. Were decisions within the Christian religion made by the Apostles in conjunction with the Elders (presbyters / priests)❓ 🕊️“As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.” Acts 16:4-5 7. Did the Apostle Peter see himself equally with the elders (presbyters / priests)❓ 🕊️”So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.” 1 Peter 5:1-4 8. Did Deacons, Elders (presbyters / priests) & Bishops exist within the Christian religion prior to Rome’s adoption of it in 313 A.D.❓ 🕊️“And let them also be tested first; then if they prove themselves blameless let them serve as deacons.” 1 Timothy 3:10 🕊️“These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them.

Does the Christian religion with its Deacons, Elders (presbyters / priests) & Bishops remove Jesus as the head of the church❓ 🕊️”He is the head of the body, the Church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Colossians 1:18-20 10. Does the Christian religion recognize Jesus as having full authority over the church❓ 🕊️”And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20 11. Did the Apostles ask us to stand firm in the traditions we’ve been taught which included deacons, priests and bishops being a part of the church❓ 🕊️“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17 12.

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you,” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-7 13. Did the Apostles approve of people passing down traditions which included deacons, priests and bishops being a part of the church ❓ 🕊️Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.” 1 Corinthians 11:1-2 14. Should we avoid people who hold the form of religion but deny the power of it❓ 🕊️“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5 15. How is someone’s Christian religion demonstrated as vain❓ 🕊️”If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain.” James 1:26 16.

Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” Galatians 6:1-3 🕊️”As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without favor, doing nothing from partiality.” 1 Timothy 5:20-21 🕊️”For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the Church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 17. Does anyone within the Christian religion supersede our Father’s words❓ 🕊️“And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:27-29 18. Are we called to follow the Christian religion blindly❓ 🕊️”Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” He answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:12-14 19. How is the Christian religion considered pure and undefiled by our Father❓ 🕊️”Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27 20.

I was trying to bring some of my friends who believe all religion is same" I say no all religions are not same. Which other God promised eternal life? Who taught us to love our enemies, who brought forgiveness of sins. Who has died for our sins?,"
POPE BENEDICT XV (succeeded Pius X in 1912): “In the Church there is room for divergent opinions, and it is clearly the right of everyone to express and defend his or her own opinion. But in such discussions no expressions should be used that might constitute serious breaches of charity; let each one freely defend his or her own opinion, but let it be done with due moderation, so that no one should consider himself or herself entitled to affix on those who merely do not agree with their ideas the stigma of disloyalty to faith or to discipline. It is, moreover, our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations (designations) that have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided... they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics... There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism; it is quite enough for each one to proclaim ‘Catholic is my name and Christian is my surname,’ only let them endeavor to be in reality what they call themselves.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic True, if they're truths revealed by Christ. Christ said nothing about there being no salvation outside of the Catholic faith. Besides, Vatican II documents did away with that error.
Cont......... Each person subconsciously knows what is right and wrong of whatever religion. If he follows the will of God subconsciously, Jesus would, at the last moment, if accepts his mercy.
Pope Francis! No way, not all religions are path to God. There is only path to one God. There is only way to God. only thru God the Father , God the Son& God the Holy Spirit. This is the Faith of our Catholic Church & no other way. Only One God & no other God
The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing… Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23 Peace!!!
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic In the catechism of the Catholic Church, it is written that there are rays of truth in other religions as well (which point to God). There is fullness of truth in the Catholic Church.
No, but I'm almost always upset when someone write buddhists go to hell. I'm roman catholic and deep believe that Jesus is way to Heavenly Father. He is also a God with Father and Holy Spirit, but if someone didn't hear about gospel, I think such person is not predestinate to hell. For us cathklic deep trust in Jesus + deeds are centre of our faith. Also following for example as saints are important, because people who serve the Will of God are holy. Protestants think that only deep faith, without trying to be best versikn of ourselves can save us. I think we need both faith and work. By the fruits you know them!
And Jesus said: "Do not judge as you will be judged with the same measure." The Pope isnt always here to "evangelize" Christ but to BE CHRIST with love, accepting others in all ways. Then, when we have a relationship with people, we can then lead them to Christ.
Thank you Father, thank you Gabriel for enlightening our minds and calming our hearts. Personally, when I heard what Pope Francis said to this audience made me so deeply sad because he didn't mention the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, just hearing JESUS Name brings to me The Father and the Holy Spirit together with Him: ONE GOD, ONE TRUE RELIGIÓN. My daily prayers for our Pope Francis, and all Consecrated Souls.
To the worker of iniquity, po pe; DID you forget Exod us 34:14 "...for you shall worship NO other god, for the LORD, whose name is JEALOUS, is a jealous GOD,..."
The Pope is still being guided by the Holy Spirit. He is showing the other people of different religions to see Jesus in the gospel. He is bringing them to see one truth. Be patient, the Holy is guiding him.
No, Holy Spirit can't be in unholy body. We, sinners can't see Father, because his energy will burn us. Holy Spirit not coming and leaving body. Holy Spirit can't come inside the men, who ok with abortion, gay marriages, lying, etc.
@irynamusyakevich9303 the Pope is against abortion and gay marriage your listening to fake news. Listen to Michael lofton he researches on what the Pope really means. Listen to the Michael lofton show reason and theology. And let me know what you think Hod bless you.
Pope Francis said “ All religions are a path to God “ ( John 14:6 ) Jesus said “ I am the way the truth, and the life no man comes to the Father but through Me “ the question is who do you follow ??? ( John 10:27 ) Jesus said “ My sheep, hear My voice, and I know them and the follow Me “
The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing… Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23 Peace!!!
Many sound things shared that are scripturally sound.. Music to the ear. A more INFORMED, balanced and respectful handling of the topic on more levels than not. Question: Having said all you did, did you then say that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church? Of course you did. (smile)
The doctrine of papal infallibility specifically applies when the Pope makes a declaration ex cathedra (from the chair of St. Peter) on matters of faith and morals. This means that the Pope is considered infallible only when he: Speaks in his official capacity as the supreme pastor and teacher of all Christians. Intends to define a doctrine that must be held by the entire Church. Addresses a matter of faith or morals. This infallibility is believed to be guided by the Holy Spirit, ensuring that the doctrine is free from error. It does not mean that the Pope is infallible in all his statements or actions, but only under these specific conditions. Since the formal definition of papal infallibility at the First Vatican Council in 1870, the Pope has exercised ex cathedra authority only once. This was in 1950, when Pope Pius XII declared the dogma of the Assumption of Mary, stating that Mary, "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory"
And how does this work? The Pope sits on the chair and say "Power Rangers activate!" and suddenly he upgrades to God level infallible ? So when he does not activate,he is basically retarded in his statements and when he activates he is like God! Sure bro!
Thou shall not judge, yet you guys are laughing out loud judging at others. Understand the cultures around the world so that you will understand what Pope Francis' words meant. Is there only one religion in the world? Or do you prefer wars arising from arguing over religion(s)?
In addition, Singapore, as mentioned in this video, is a wonderful country which everyone can see. There are Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians that make up the entire race ethnics. And the majority of the citizens believe in Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islamic teaching. Despite the differences in everyone's beliefs and religions, everyone do have to agree and accept the fact that ALL people in this nation live in harmony and filled with respect for one another's religious practices too. Hence, please do more research before commenting in an armchair's view. Love conquers everything. Peace is something so precious and valuable, please treasure it at all times.
thank you Farther, I always say we are under the same God, but how can we show Love as Jesus Loves us which positive move forward, not only life with a coma, or golden rule.
The difference about other pope's verses Francis is that Benedict and JP2 and Pius X all spoke with great clarity. This layman seems to be moreclear than this priest. Sometimes education clouds the true belief in the Church's mission.
This was a very helpful discussion in the wake of the Pope’s confusing commentary. I can appreciate that both men don’t throw out the baby with the bath water but remain committed to Christ despite the misleading teachings from their Pope, but I did not like how Fr Penna seems to defend Pope Francis in the end. Yes all believers should be praying for the Pope, but more so than that, the Pope needs to be corrected. As a non-Catholic Christian, the Pope making these statements really soldiers to me that 1 Timothy ch4 is talking about churches like the Catholic Church: “Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared, prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving; for it has been sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer. By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured. But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.” 1 Timothy 4:1-7 CPDV
How about other faiths that sacrificed lives ,to kill thier own in oder to offer to thier gods? In the catholic church the holy mass is the essence of our faith ! It's a simple ceremony but most important to offer our humble self to God and accept him through our holy communion.By repenting and ask God to the forgiveness of our sins! 🙏💞 The priests are most important ,because they are the one's who officiated the most important part in our faith the holy mass! 🙏💖 There's no one who can do this except them!.Jesus Christ requires this celebration,why is there's some who made this complicated? Is that a red flag and a warning in the revelations in new testament about the Anti Christ?
"It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of profoundly transforming the human soul, making it capable of doing good even in the most difficult situations, of extinguishing hatred and reconciling parties engaged in conflict. May everyone, every man and woman, in full freedom, know the Gospel of Jesus, who has reconciled God and humanity in his Person, and who, knowing what is in the human heart, can heal its wounds." - Pope Francis at Luxembourg, Sept 26, 2024
@@BijoyP-h2l It's ok to oppose false or condemned teachings and heresy. In fact it's our duty to point out errors as brethren in Christ. Many saints of the past challenged Popes even in regard to their legitimacy. The Truth sets us free. Just read up on Church Doctrine and Dogma, Revelation and The Gospels, and make a decision informed by the discernment of The Holy Spirit as to whether to accept and follow it or not.
Minute 34:00 , ”unity is not uniformity ” …..in a market place…. This is the gospel of Mammon! Cultural , religious differences are viewed as diversified consumption and thus to be celebrated.

Pope knows well the situation in Asia, and I as a catholic living in Asia, understand fully on what Pope said in the interreligious meeting with young people in Singapore.
I am not sure why "western" people always (or, tend to) say that Pope is confusing.
We as a catholic in Asia are getting stronger in our faith with the Pope visit, and especially with his comment/speech he did in Singapore.
It gives us more strength to bring more people, that is currently in their journey to find God in the "other path", to the TRUE PATH of the fullness of God through His Church.
My brother/sister who think what Pope said is confusing, please try to make a visit to Asia, especially Indonesia, where we as a catholic, living in a majority moslem population.
You will know that to spread the word of God, is not by arguing or speaking out loud "we are true and you are wrong", to people who has different religion.
But do the work, as Jesus says : Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
And haven’t you read your bible??
You are not worthy to be a Christian if u are a coward. You should declare the truth of the word of God with simplicity and courage, there’s no point trying to dilute to please others. The pope is intentional about what he said, and he believe all religions are way to the most high God, which is fallacy, the only way is Jesus, no other alternatives. The road to eternal life is not wide , if it’s wide, it will contain other religions, but it’s narrow, no other alternatives except Jesus.
@@FolkloreChronicles1 And...do you think when I quoted "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", I took that from some comic books or novel?
If you (want to) regard me as a coward and not worthy to be a Christian (Catholic), so be it.
I am a coward that have been living for almost 40 years, in the almost 90 percents of the populations are moslem.
I am the only Catholic when I was at elementary school, then I know some more Catholic students (still less than 20 in total) in the higher education.
When I was a child, I grew up listening to my parent, explaining our faith to our neigbour who sometime come to visit us just for a chit chat.
They're all asking the same question, pointing their finger at the big cross we have hanging in the wall, saying that He is not God, the crucified one was not Jesus but the other person, etc.
I am intentionally quoting "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", because this is what we do as a Catholic in Asia.
Do you know how its fruit?
Our church always full of people. We could see many people (adult) being baptized in the Easter Mass.
How we (or our priest and parish) could do that?
The secret is, we're not only reading the Bible. We also have Bible study. We read many documents, including papacy document, that are available online in the Vatican site. We go to mass. We pray for Pope and the Church.
I am not going to dig deep into ontological and epistemological perspective of God, EENS, and other stuff.
But I just want to point out, above all, the most important thing is (of course as a coward Catholic), we live our lives with the Bible. Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
So, I admire you for being brave and a worthy Cristian.
Also for the other "westener" Catholics, who spend their time to bring this issue up since the controversial FS, and made us "united" as a Catholic.
I hope you're also brave enough and ready with its fruit, since now most Catholic TH-camr's "teamed up" with non-Catholic, and also the mainstream media, to boil this topic.
I guess you know well the passage from the Bible that says the phrase "you know the tree by its fruit", do you?
May God Bless you and have a nice weekend.
The Pope is wrong. He should have spoken that Christ is God but encouraged living together peacefully as humans.
@FolkloreChronicles1 Jesus said 'be as cunning as serpents and innocent as doves' This speaks to evangelization strategies based on the context and circumstances. I spent 3 years with Mother Teresa's sisters. In Muslim countries, where they could not openly catechize, they preached by example and not word . St. Francis said 'Preach always, use words when necessary'. This is often the beginning of evangelization to some people, who may conclude there is truth here, as they hunger for truth. Then, you may openly catechize.
@FolkloreChronicles1 yes read the bible. ROMANS 2..

I say all of this in the hopes that you will see the light and the truth. I didn't know the Truth for 50 years of my life until the Lord came to me on a hike, and I've never been the same. You know the world has a different idea of what truth is, but Jesus, the Son of God, is the truth. What comes from Him is truth, and one day it will be all that matters. I’m not sure if you know, but sins are acts against God the Father of Jesus Christ. This God is your Creator. There are degrees of sin, with killing of another human being as the worst. Just like you probably wouldn’t want to participate in killing of puppies in their mother’s womb, likewise a killing of a human baby is much worse. There are consequences for this sin that might not be obvious at first. In fact, you don't even have to believe in Jesus Christ to be affected by sins against God. One day you will take your last breath, and you will be face to face with Jesus Christ, the Judge of every human being who has ever lived, and you will have to answer for your sins. I strongly encourage you not to vote for a lady who seems to delight and have a passion for abortions. This is not good for you and certainly not good for this country.l

I'm sick and tired of those who refuse to call the pope by his name and do many mental gymnastics to claim that the pope has defected from the faith and corrupted the Church in light of Christ's promise that He will preserve His Church.

There are 4 marks of the Church, which part are you talking about, "the gate of hell shall not prevail against it"?
@@ScreamingReel500 I’m talking about Jesus’ own words as Ive stated already in Matthew 16:18
@@bucklr11 Do you understand that passage? Timothy Gordon tried to unpack that, and he admitted he is confused. "The gate of hell does not prevail against the Church." What part of the Church? Catholic people are Church, also there is a Triumphant Church in Heaven. The church also has good and bad people in it. What did Jesus talk about?
@@ScreamingReel500 if Timothy Gordon is confused then that’s up to him to stop overthinking it.

Excellent discussion, thank you so much for presenting this. It's true that there are seeds for the cultivation of the true faith, Catholic Faith. That's why the Catholic faith was able to be spread all over the world. Thanks for defending our faith and the Holy name of Jesus. God bless you Ken and Father.

Ken is right the pope should be clear in his word and the guest is not clear also to in his explanation. Is this a sign of an unfolding division?
Francis is crystal clear. He opposes his predecessors who condemned universalism. No confusion here. He’s tripled down on it.

The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing…
Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23
Peace!!!
@@srich7503 I see your point here but Paul wasn’t justifying or validating their beliefs, he was calling attention to a blind spot in them.
@@justinbeninati8809 And if you take ALL of the pope’s statements into context, he too does not validate their beliefs either. In many “official” statements and “official” documents the pope confirms the Christian gospel “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus.” The statement everyone is up in arms about was ONLY an extemporaneous statement made for evangelization purposes and not for preaching the gospel message. The people he was speaking to already knew the gospel message.
Peace!!!
I am newer to the Catholic faith. I went through RCIA during the pandemic and was confirmed Catholic in 2020. I very much appreciate this conversation and wealth of insight. It is frustrating when our expectations of someone in such a position do not live up to what we hope, but that is why Jesus came to us, because we will always fall short. That being said, obviously words carry a lot of weight, and perhaps there was more thoughts unsaid behind what he did say that would better explain his point of view beyond face value. Either way, this conversation has given me greater insight into the faith and strengthened my relationship with Jesus.
No where in the Bible does Jesus Christ say we need to be initiated! In 351, Baptist churches declared non-fellowship with the irregular churches (Catholic, for example) because babies cannot be saved until after salvation.
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. How can a baby confess with their mouth anything?
Acts 28:28 - Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the GENTILES, and that they will hear it. No, gentiles did not need to become Baptists, Catholics, etc...to be saved.
I believe that Pope Francis put out a clarification on this!
How draining it must be for Pope Francis when he says something off the cuff. Some people understood what he was trying to get at!
May God continue to bless our Holy Father and the Catholic Church! 🙏
If all religions lead to God, Jesus died in vain and the New Testament is a bunch of lies.
If all religions lead to God, why then the grand commission to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth?
I am beginning to wonder if Pope Francis is more Judas than Peter !
We must absolutely abstain from judging his interior intentions, as only God can judge his soul. When Saint Paul corrected the first Pope he did not deligimitize his role as the Vicar of Christ, but he humbly corrected him.
The sad thing is that many won’t dig deeper to understand what was said. And may feel more validated in their beliefs.
@@cherylhaines93 So we must not fall for the temptation, but must always walk with the supernatural Faith.
@@cherylhaines93 You do realize that Christianity is different from all other religions in that Christianity recognizes the insufficiency of good works to get us into the Kingdom of God (not my words but St. Paul's)? Therefore, man needs Christ's saving grace to get a spot in Heaven (again St. Paul's words). So, my question is does Christ extend His saving grace to people of other faiths who do good works?
If a person is invincibly ignorant about the only true religion: Catholicism, but does his best to follow the Natural Law written in his conscience, and corresponds to all the graces God gives to that individual person to get saved, then by baptism of desire that person is incorporated into the Mystical Body of Christ: the Holy Catholic and Apostolc Church, outside of which nobody is saved. Therefore that person is a living but invisible member of the Catholic Church, having the life of grace, which make our good works supernaturally meritorious.
If a person istead is not invincibly ignorant, but is either culpably ignorant or knowing what the Catholic Church teaches deliberately chooses to be into a schismatic group or into an heretical sect or into a non-Christian religion, then that person is automatically outside of the holy boat of salvation.
I am really tire of popesplainers. It was loud and clear what pope Francis said to the world. He is not some 5 year old kid who doesn’t know the consequences of his words and how people will take his words. Fruits of getting too much education in secular educational institutions are not good in my opinion.
The elder brother of the prodigal son complained to his father and the father didnt say " Shut up"! Instead the son was allowed to speak and the father explained. The Synod is in keeping with Jesus prayer of unity among Christians Jn.17:21
Whatever is wrong is wrong. We all want to justify. Jesus wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of One True God which is revealed Christ Jesus. I am a Roman Catholic but i totally disagree with Pope Francis.
You should understand the circumstances.. Pope didn't want to speak harshly to the young non Christian students...

Wow, how I wish that more priests were like Fr Stefano Penna! His humble mindset, tender voice and sense of humor are very “accessible” means of conveying his genuine love for Jesus.
To use the analogy of a relationship between a man and a woman in this instance is probably the worst to use to explain The Popes statement.
The other aspect is that He tripled down on this statement on his return by declaring it a gift from GOD. This in fact indicates it was GOD'S Active Will and not His Passive Will as he previously stated.
There is no excuse for this and I'm praying that The Holy Spirit will correct The Holy Father, that he will retract the statements, and, preach what Jesus taught his Apostles in Revelation.
There are no other religions. There is only one, the one established by Jesus Christ.
Everything else is either a Denomination, a cultural lifestyle, a sect or a schismatic sect. All of these are manmade and inspired by satan to be in direct opposition to The One True Holy Apostolic Church for the destruction of souls.
Two examples of this are The Sacking of Jerusalem by Saladin and the Protestant revolt in the French Revolution.
You can add to that the Reformation because once Henry VIII wanted to marry Ann Boleyn and divorce Catherine of Aragon that was the start of the persecution of Catholics in England, which in turn spread across the world to the now 45,000 Protestant denominations. Some of them are so bitter towards Catholics in relation to the Holy Mother of Jesus that it’s sickening. The Muslims have more reverence for Her
He did not declare a doctrine; he addressed a group of college students in Singapore. This is not ex cathedra.
@@ScreamingReel500 That's not the point. He is the head of The Catholic Church. He is there to safeguard True Church Doctrine, Dogma, Revelation and The Holy Gospels. He simply didn't do that, so, by omission of his duty in the seat of Saint Peter he has failed.
It's not about his ideology, it's about what the Catholic Church has always taught and his statements in Singapore and on his return do not corroborate what the Church has always taught for 2,000 years as its tradition.
He also left young people in the belief that their false religion is a path to GOD!
He also reiterated that other so-called religions were a gift from GOD. This contradicts his original statement that GOD willed the plurality of religions through His Passive Will. So he has in actual fact made it GOD's active Will in his follow up statements.
This is the most embarrassing time in Roman Catholic history with his goofball Pope I don't care if this is not respectful to other Catholics or two other Christians for that matter this is only the truth as a true and 100% Roman catholic, I must confess that there is no excuse for what this old man is saying and doing all around the world
What kind of magisterium is out there trying to explain the rhetoric that is going on right now? I must tell you right now that I am very close to leaving the Roman Catholic church and I see this with tears in my eyes
It is NOT HOW we worship that is important but WHO we worship is the key. Different religions are the diverse ' hows' but the Catholic Religion tells us WHO to worship.
Yeah, no, that's NOT Catholic. That's your own personal teaching. And heresy.
Yes, the Catholic Church tells/teaches you must see a priest for confession, use an idol-rosemary beads, and you cannot talk with Jesus directly. Etc... There are many 'religions' and they have many different gods for them. There is only one God and He is for those who believe Jesus died and arose for us.
@@donnaw3765if that’s what u think u know about the Catholic Church, u are horribly wrong and doesn’t know anything about it, all you have is misunderstandings.
On face value, Pope Francis is not wrong. Bear in mind, he is the Shepherd of the whole world, and he was speaking with different people of different religions, but nonetheless, also God’s children. He said “different paths”. He didn’t say, all religions will lead to God. There is a difference. Not all paths directly lead us to our destination; there are stop signs and twists and turns. Our goal as Catholics is to lead other people to the one God, the Holy Trinity.
Inter-religious dialog is important and necessary. It is our way to connect, to evangelize our brothers and sisters that are of other religions. When they see us, become friends with us, they will see how the grace of God manifest in us. I think Pope Francis is right and not confusing.
We are wrong and confusing if we insist that our God is better than theirs but they don’t see the image of God in us.
Interesting discernment. You are not wrong.

Jesus is the shepherd.
@@linvi_chemutai Yes, our Lord Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23). But let us not deny that Peter was given by our Lord the responsibility of a shepherd to his flock when he said, "Feed my lambs.", Tend my sheep.", Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17). If we deny the role of Saint Peter and his successors as shepherd, we refuse to be feed and to be tended by our Lord Jesus through his servant.
I am from Singapore where Pope Francis held the talk. I can understand why he said that. We respect different religions in our country. LOVE is the universal language. And is LOVE that truly save us.
Jesus already said, “father against son, mother against daughter…”. Conflict is unavoidable but conflict need not be violent, destructive or divisive. Nobody is listening to Jesus anymore. Each man his own evangelist. Is this an oversimplification? Truth, good, beauty are the weapons in this holy war in the name of God.
Yes!! He says “ I did not come to bring Peace”
He came for the salvation of the existence of humankind. His path is hard!
Book of Exodus 20, 1-3, 5 (Douay-Rheims Bible): 'I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. (...) Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...'
The Golden Arrow:
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
(After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow" as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.)
Thank you for seeking out this interview to help clarify for Catholics and others. God bless your family and those who help with your podcast.
The one thing that I know it clarifies is that the church that the Romans created back in the day, believes that there is no other way to be saved, even if you believe in Jesus Christ and worship him and take you as your Lord and save you and you live a life devoted to him That you’re not saved because you’re not a Catholic. You can only come to Christ Jesus through the Catholic Church. And Jesus never said that. only the Catholic religion says that.
@@cherylhaines93 True. And, we can go directly to Jesus in prayer for forgiveness, praise, requests, etc... You may interested in 'The Trail of Blood' (google images, read the explanation at the bottom). This shows why the Catholic church is 'irregular'.
@@cherylhaines93 Amen! I don't believe Catholics are allowed to study God's Word or their true history.
The pope went to Indonesia for a friendly dialogue not to catechize. Even bishops have only jurisdiction in their own individual diocese. God wants us to live with peace and happiness than to know our doctrinal teachings but quarrelling with each other.
Thank you Ken and Fr. Penna for having this conversation. Much needed.
As St. Paul preached two thousand years ago, the search for God can take many imperfect forms, but they are each an imperfect search for the one, true, triune God of Sacred Scripture. Paul condemns false religions and preaches Jesus Christ as the reality and fulfillment of the unknown God whom the Greeks worship Acts 17:22-31.
St. Paul noticed that the Athenians also recognized "an unknown God" and he use that to explain to them that unknow God is the Creator and He is Jesus Christ. So, the same thing here that the Church recognize people of other faiths also seek the unknow God. Pope Francis also stated in the dialogue "There is only one God."
@@ScreamingReel500 Of course I know the Pope knows there is only one God but I think he could have mentioned as John taught about Jesus the Father and I are one.
This way you can include Jesus; then the children may say who is the I.
My Children went thru the education at the parish, but they attended Mass thru out their life with me and I explain the Holy Trinity to them a lot. Who can explain the Holy Trinity? lol. But as parents we must do it or someone else might and lead them in the wrong direction.
@@ScreamingReel500 Very true as Vatican II pointed out that it's up to the parents to play our part in proclaiming Christ to our children and to our co workers.
But you cannot give unless you have something to give.
Plenty of us were baptized but not catechized.
But there is hope many saints started bad but ended up saints.
It's not how we start it's how we finish the race.
In regards to wayward children as many parents are weeping for their children as Jesus said on the way to calvary; Don't weep for me weep for your children.
In that always pray to St Anne grandmother of Jesus mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary will help our children.
I admit I want to learn but couldn't understand the Catechism when I bought it 30 years ago. Why? The gift of understanding is not given to me like that of St Paul or the priests. It's a long process. When I see beauty in the words of God and respect them and love them, then I start to understand. All by God's grace. God is also unity and beauty as Fr. Corapi said. Yes, I pray to St. Anne and St. Joachim every day.
As a former follower of Buddha, I can confirm what our Papa said. Anyway, remember, we are Catholic, we follow the Lord and our Papa is just another servant of the Lord!

@@edwinkubena9944 LOL!!!😂 Ooooh! You got me on that one. Sorry im not sure St Paul’s writings covered EVERY single God.

Is a simple true, Grace comes from Christ through the holy church, the holy spirit flows from the heart of Christ to the entire world, without the constant offering of sacrifice salvation, would be non existent, that is why the devil want to get riddle of the sacrifice.
All rivers flow to the same one ocean but in differents paths. In a mountain there are are different paths to reach one and the same summit . I love all my 11 grandchildren though some dont know me. Interreligious dialogue is not a debate.
I can see the Holy Spirit is working on the seeds that Pope Francis has planted in Southeast Asia. It was an eye opening experienced for my friends from different religion backgrounds. Now they are curious about our Catholic faith. Believe me, most of them have zero idea about our faith and Jesus. That’s a good start. Therefore, I find that what Pope said was just appropriate for us. It wasn’t too much or too less. It was perfect to Southeast Asian, but might not to the others. For my understanding, as long as “Love” is a teaching foundation from any religion, Jesus is there. Because God is Love. Just that they recognize Him in different timing, different culture, different languages, different traditions and different appearance. Don’t forget, the salvation is open for the gentile as well. If you truly believe there’s only one God, then you wouldn’t have doubts of the statement Pope Francis shared in the interfaith dialogue.
May peace be with you all 🙏
So was the pope right when he handed over the flock in china to the communist for money. You haven't a clue!!!!!
Yes, I totally agree with you. Well said!
Disagree! There is No love without TRUTH! All religions aren't God's will. Catholicism alone is God's will.
Zero idea about the Catholic Faith and Jesus is a good start? No, study of the Fathers of the Church, Church councils through Vatican I, and Scripture would be a good start. That way they'd see the truth about "Vatican II" and Bergoglio.
Ok Karen..Keep excusing this false pope, I bet he was also doing God's work having breakfast with trans people, he was doing God's work kissing the feet of Islamic migrants as well..Cowards refuse to call this dude out.

Yes, there are many reasons to leave the 'irregular' Catholic church. Biblically, babies should never be baptized and Mary should never be worshiped. Etc...
@@donnaw3765Mary is not worshipped. Just as you would ask someone at church to pray for you we ask Mary to pray for us. Jesus gave us Mary as our mother.

All believers are all part of the body of Christ and we all pray for each other. May God Bless you.
@@barbellscigars9134 Mary was blessed. Now, dead. The Bible teaches us to pray directly to Jesus. Mary is not our mother. She was Jesus' mother along with his siblings.
@@donnaw3765 John 19:26-27: "Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son! ' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother! ' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. Mary is our mother. Jesus had no biological siblings. It is very important to read scripture through the lenses of the historical time and cultural prospective of the original Greek, Hebrew translations to English. Brother doesn’t necessarily mean biological when looking at the Greek or hebrew to English. God bless you!
@@barbellscigars9134 The Apostles WALKED WITH Jesus. Why does the pope, etc...go against God's Word? Jesus told the disciples to care for His earthly mother. Nothing more, nothing less. Why would anyone pray to a dead person, Mary, when we can go directly to Jesus? Also, infant baptism is wrong. Babies will not go to hell if they are not baptized. To be able to avoid hell we must accept Jesus as our Savior. ONLY. This is the only way.
Jesus let the 'little children' come to him (Luke 18:15-16). All humans are sinners in Adam UNTIL they believe in Christ (Rom. 5:12-21)
Jesus' biological siblings. They are mentioned in Matthew 12:46-50, 13:55-56; Mark 3:31, 6:3; Luke 8:19; John 2:12, 7:3; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; and Paul speaks of a James the Lord's brother (Galatians 1:19).
Of the brothers, there seem to have been four who are named in Matthew 13:55: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (see Mark 6:3). Matthew and Mark mention the sisters, but neither the number nor the names are given. From the language of the Nazarenes (Matthew 13:56, "His sisters, are they not all with us?"), there must have been at least two, probably more.
They appear in company with the Apostles (Acts 1:14).
~~~~~Bible Verses about Jesus' BIOLOGICAL Brother and Sisters~~~~~
Matthew 12:46-50: "While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him."
Matthew 13:55-56: "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"
Mark 3:31: "And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him."
Mark 6:3: "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?' And they took offense at him."
Luke 8:19: "Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd."
John 2:12: "After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days."
Acts 1:14: "All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers."
Galatians 1:19: "But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother."
The pope and clergy can dialogue with any religion but they must say without interpretation that Jesus is truly God
We can always count on Ken to bring on an excellent guest to address disappointing and at the very least very confusing statements of our Pope. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t speaking “from the Chair”, he he sowing confusion. He can be charitable and yet tell them the truth of Jesus Christ! God bless.
Well, I'm not confused.
The pope said nothing new they had not been already spoken about by previous popes post Vatican 2.
It's called pope-splaining. These people are doing souls great harm.
Fr. Penna is an absolutely amazing priest and we are lucky to have a man of this caliber in our diocese. He always does so much to help strengthen the Catholic Church in our city. 🙏
Great conversation. Thanks!
I am an OCIA coordinator and these careless statements from Pope Francis makes my job a lot harder. 🤦♀️
Odad, those who claim Pope Francis teaches heresy and error, are themselves ignorant of Catholic teaching and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! If we are being sincere before Jesus Christ and faithful to Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture, they teach that other Religions may possess goodness and Truth found in them, although partial! Pope Francis simply teaches that those people in these other Religions should take advantage of these gifts from God of goodness and Truth found in them, although partial and live them out by loving one another, as the Son of Man shall give to each according to one's works or lack of works! Why was the Good Samaritan, a foreigner outside the faith, justified before God by his work of mercy, and why was the giving of alms and prayers of Cornelius, a Non Christian Gentile, pleasing to God? Your job should not be hard at all if you were to know your Faith, and the comments of Pope Francis were not careless! I wish you no ill will, just that you do your homework! Peace and peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink!
@@matthewbroderick6287 That all religions have equal weight is an extraordinarily flawed idea for the Successor of Peter to appear to support. It is true that all of the great religions express a human yearning often with beauty and wisdom for something more than this life. Humans have a need to worship. That desire seems to be hardwired into our DNA. But not all religions are equal in their content or consequences. The truth will always set us free. When Jesus preached and hurt other people's feelings meaning not liked he didn't say oh let me clarify myself I didn't mean that but yet Francis seems to be saying oh wait I didn't mean that.
Matter of fact word is from the Vatican today Francis might retract his statements so we will see or is it just click bait.

@@matthewbroderick6287 The Catholic Church has had at least 20 anti popes meaning yes even popes can deny Christ at least 3 times but yes there is always forgiveness Thank God.
To suggest, even loosely, that Catholics walk a more or less similar path to God as other religions drains martyrdom of its meaning. Why give up your life for Christ when other paths may get us to the same God?
Such a sacrifice would be senseless. But the witness of the martyrs is as important today as ever. We live in an age when the dominant religion is increasingly the worship of the self. We need the martyrs and each of us as a confessor of Jesus Christ to remind an unbelieving world that the path to a genuinely rich life is to give oneself fully to another, to the other.
Jo h n B, sadly, you deny Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! Again. Pope Francis teaches that Jesus Christ ALONE saves!

You are in my prayers as you journey toward Truth! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink
Thank you for this interview
At approximately @42:25? The other speaker make the point,(rightfully so), that God would never want us to pray for someone’s race, gender etc to be changed & yet God has called us to pray that we all come to faith in our redeemer Jesus Christ the messiah/messenger/God in the flesh via the fulfillment of the Torah….
If ‘All Religions Are Paths to God’ then salvation through Jesus Christ is meaningless. Face it: Pope Francis and many bishops, priests and laity do not believe apostolic teaching and have fallen away from faith as apostle Paul prophesied 2 Thess 2 and and Jesus in Lk 18: 8.
Those who reject the Gospel CANNOT be saved. That is what Jesus warned: " He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16: 15, 16) St Peter in his first sermon also began by saying, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4: 12) The martyrs died because there is no other way
Our clergy is typical of what Jesus said to the priests of His day when He utterly rebuked and dismissed them saying, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God." (Mat 22: 29)
>>>
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “It’s important that we don’t lose the splendor of the faith - that we remain believers, Christians, Catholics, in the sense that Catholic always means “open to the world”... which means being tolerant and open, one to the other, in heartfelt brotherhood to everyone who belongs to our one Father and who are all loved by the one Lord.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION THE CHURCH, Vatican II: “Nor shall divine providence deny the assistance necessary for salvation to those who, without any fault of theirs, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God, and who, not without grace, strive to lead a good life. Whatever good or truth is found among them is considered by the Church to be a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic Nope.
Great is our mission to evangelize but even greater is our ministry to bring heaven to earth. Give me a wise leader who keeps these in perspective. Give me Pope Francis!
I appreciate what Fr was saying. That we must not focus on being right, but that the love of Christ is for everyone. No other religions are not Gods will . But that his will is to spread the news and love of Christ. I do believe we need to pray for our pope. He needs to not be afraid to show the face of Christ first in all he says and does.
😊There are many different paths to reach the summit of a mountain. There are also many different rivers but flow to one fhe same vast ocean. The pope says religions are paths but never said all are the same and equal.
This is what tires me with people like this guest that have numerous degrees, they use thousands of flowery words to gloss over one word, HERESY in this case! Popesplaining really does involve Olympic level gymnastics!
A little exercise is good.
Flowers better than fire.
@@chuiphinglee6246 nah! Even Jesus didn't always bring flowers! He brought fire too
Your brain has atrophied. You need a lot of mental exercise
Some people are making different conclusion on the statement of the Pope that all religions are paths to God. Many Old testament Israelites didnt know Christ but were saved by Jesus Christ thru obedience of 10 com and Law of Moses, Lev.18:5, Jn. 1:17.
The Gospel is undeniably clear on this ... Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The Pope has muddied the waters on this for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. What more loving and unifying thing can be done than to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with all of mankind? I am supporting a young lady who is just entering RCIA and on our very first meeting the other night, we had to endure the teacher echo these words of Pope Francis...He said, "Isn't it a beautiful thing that all faiths lead to the divine?" All I could think of was what was probably going through her mind... if this is true, why should she even become a Catholic? Why spend the good part of a year and many hours of study, meetings and discussion to get to learn about the Catholic faith and build a relationship with Jesus Christ, if all religions lead to the divine and ultimately to her salvation? Why not pick an easier path? Why are we okay with allowing any confusion about the very first Commandment given to us by God - "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me." Where are the brave Shepherds in the Catholic church who will defend our faith and speak up against this insanity!
This episode was very good, thank you! Praise Jesus Christ now and forever!
The Catholic Church denies Jesus in Vatican 2. No church father taught Vatican 2 theology. To think Muslim and Christians adore the same god is logically impossible. In the Quran Allah says he is NOT a father and has NO son. And Allah in the Quran said the greatest sin is to liken god to man. Allah of the Quran also said Jesus never died. Muslim adore Allah of the Quran and reject the god of the Bible by choice. They do not adore the same god like Vatican 2 teaches.
If you will, here is my perspective on the matter: A father had two sons to take care of, and one day he wanted them to learn a lesson and so he sent them out, one by one. One son with a grocery list at night to the butcher district of the town, and the other during the day. When one of the sons did not return late in the evening, the father went out looking for him and found the son, all roughed up weeping on a street corner, and his groceries had been stolen. The father kept silent and did not say anything, he helped his son get up, get home and took care of his wounds. The other son did as he was told and got home safe, with a bag full of groceries. The next day, the two sons were encouraged to talk about their individual experiences. And the son who got beaten up, asked his father infuriated, this; Father, why did you send me into the late evening, in the dark, to the market? Knowing very well there would be thieves and robbers, or even wild animals waiting for me to be ambushed or even kill me? Yet you send my brother during the day to get the same groceries without any risk to himself or the items? The father responded lacking wisdom; I figured eventually you would find a clever way to bring back home the goods safely. A wise father, a father with response ability does not teach in this manner, meaning, to prove a point. He does not put his son in danger, without going along with him, knowing what might happen, when there are other ways, better paths, to follow. You can make the analogy to what the Father of the Church did or did not do. We came from a world of many religions, where tribes and lands destroyed themselves without Christian morals, and sacrificed to idols, worshipped hedonism, and death cults, after Christ imbued the Apostles with the Holy Spirit and they went on to spread the Good News,, religion as it was before ended, and truth was manifest, people converted because the truth set them free, because in their words the truth was spoken, and they could feel it. They did not need persuasion because the Holy Spirit was speaking trough them. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church was born. And throughout the nations of the world, civilization itself changed drastically, unrecognizably from what it was before Christ. Not just in the Roman empire. But everywhere the Saints and martyrs went. To say what the Father of the Church said, brings tears to the eyes of the martyrs of the Church. Whom did not believe in a mere ideology, a monotheistic philosophy, but in truth itself, and what this truth entails. They knew Christ. That He was truly risen. Christ came to fulfil prophecy, to forge a new covenant. To unite the heavenly with the earthly again. To free the souls from Hades. And to shatter the vanity and the power of the evil one. To believe in these words of the Father of the Church is to revert to times from before the resurrection. Consider this, if the Lord, is the way, the truth and the life, that means, clearly, when going astray from the way, you lose sight from the destination, you go astray, you get lost, and this has consequences, when you are lead to believe it is fine to walk on a path, that reveals half truths, or no truths, you have fallen into lies and falsehoods, into deceit, into danger, into deception, into darkness, not only to yourself, but to the people entrusted into your care, knowingly or unknowingly, and the most terrifying realization, the Lord said, he is the life, this means, all the other choices or paths or truths, lead to a deadening, or to death, death of the mind, of the heart, of the soul, of this life, and of the spiritual life, and when pondering upon all three aspects bound to one another ,, we have a very profound command, a teaching, prophesy and a realisation all coming together. It is a very serious matter. The most serious of all. Not a trivial thing. That can be swept under the rug of social sensitivities, individual or collective conditioning, or cultural circumstances of the times. It is not relative to what we believe, neither of a philosophical, or academical nature, but what Christ said defines, the very nature of the order of life. And points clearly to the relationship between the Creator and humanity. Between Him and us. It is not a treatise about feelings. But it reveals to us, the meaning of The Passion of Christ. Of the tears of the Mother of God. And of the state of affairs in the world. And so, I say Lord have mercy on us all and save us. Through the prayers of your most Holy ever virgin mother Mary, The Theotokos, our Holy Fathers, all the Saints and Martyrs in Heaven. Have mercy on us, and ever keep us on the path of Your commandments, we humbly pray. St. Joseph pray for us. St. John The Baptist pray for us. St. George pray for us. St. Philomena pray for us. St. Padre Pio pray for us. Father Stefano Penna pray for us
Infallibility is only in the context of ex cathedra. I bet you 90 percents of the people do not look into that when they talk about infallibility. "Pastor Aeternus".
The Catholic Church doesn't dialogue. She doesn't discuss. She Teaches.
We teach truth only. We conform to God, Jesus and not to man!
She(Church) talks horshit tales and kills tens of millions of peoples too and every war basically was blessed by church in Europa and other parts where catholicism have power over stupid peoples
Better yet, She proposes.
CCC 25: The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.
Catholic Church teaches Faith Hope Charity through Scripture Tradition and Magisterium. Bergoglio the destroyer is against what is Catholic
@@edwinkubena9944 They also worship Mary, rosemary beads, and do not believe we should go directly to Jesus for our confessions, to talk and listen to Him, etc...
Not my will be done but yours. GOD Bless you and yours.
Fr. Penna was one of my philosophy professors at the University of Alberta, this is pretty much what he was like.
@those who say, “what's wrong with Pope Francis‘s statement”during his meeting with various religious youths in Singapore. I would like you all to read the book of Acts chapter 2:14-34 in the NT bible about our first Pope - Peter, what did he say to the people from various religions and nations who were gathered on that day of Pentecost. Pope Francis should have taught the youngsters from the holy scriptures.
God has humbled/blessed Pope Francis to God’s will. Jesus tells us that He will draw ALL people to Himself: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhisms ARE people. Jesus repeats ‘DRAW’ -“No man can come to Me unless God, the Father, draws him” (John 6:44). NO MAN = no pope, no preacher, no pastor, no parent. To be saved, man must be DRAWN to Christ by Christ, Himself and by the grace of God who chooses on whom to bestow HIS gifts of FAITH, Love, Repentance, Mercy and Compassion.
Agreed. And Christians also forget only doing God's will, can enter heaven. Jesus also for bade his disciples to proclaim Him prematurely. Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents. 🙏
It’s not what Pope Francis did say it’s what he didn’t say and he didn’t make clear Jesus is God and not a god
He also said "There is only one God" in the interfaith dialogue. Please watch the whole dialogue and not taking statements out of context. Today, during the visit in Belgium, he mentions Jesus. Do you follow that also?
@@ScreamingReel500
There is only one God doesn’t mean Jesus is God the other religions don’t believe Jesus is God but some believe in one God but he isn’t a triune God
Clearly you are looking for a fight claiming I’m taking things out of context but I am making a statement and at no point was Jesus referred to as God
@@ScreamingReel500
Let me ask you a question when Jesus was born in Bethlehem was he God
Yes or No
@@martinmartin1363 Jesus is fully God and fully man from the moment of his humanity in the womb of Mary. God is 3 divine persons in one God, one God in 3 divine persons, all the time, inseparable.
@@martinmartin1363 The setting the Pope was in is the interfaith dialogue. The limited of time only allowed so much to be q & a by the Pope visit. This dialogue was there before the Pope visit, so I assume these question you have also discussed. Interfaith dialogue, by its name its self-explanatory.
what did Christ mean in john 10:16?
11:40 "If you are a parent and need to be loved, you are going to be a very bad parent." As a parent, I don't agree with this statement. Who doesn't need to be loved? We all need LOVE. Yes, I would want my children to love/like me but that didn't stop me from having to discipline them in love.
All Catholics need to repent, read the Gospels and accept Jesus as their only Lord and Savior. The only path to God.
Thanks Ken!
Thank you, Ken
Great discussion ... thank you!!!
Our pleasure!
Thank you both!
Theologically Fr. Penna was firm in explaining how Pope Francis was wrong. (He overlooked that Pope Francis calls everyone children of God but that is categorically wrong since we can only become children of God through adoption by baptism.) Practically Fr. Penna suggested that if I don’t speak the truth in love, then the listener gets to ignore me because I offended them by not having perfect charity (which only Jesus has). I don’t agree with that-starts to sound woke somehow as in we are not allowed to trigger any listeners.
St Paul clearly states that we are not born children of God but become adopted children of God through baptism. Either St Paul and the entire tradition of Catholicism is wrong or Pope Benedict is wrong. Smart man, virtuous, learned, Pope, etc. , but Benedict is wrong.
@BeholdAndLo-f4v I generally attend the Catholic orthodox DivineLiturgy, so I’m learning about the orthodox Catholic tradition and from their perspective the theme of the Latin right is Sonship by adoption. I’m sure the entire orthodox tradition does not base this concept on one little passage from scripture the reason I am sure of it is because if you just read the scripture, you see that it’s an enduring theme, also if you pay attention to the prayers at the beginning of the new mass of the Catholic Latin Catholic rite you will see that it frequently speaks about adoption. You are arguing for a very modern if not modernist view of the Catholic tradition, I am arguing for the unchanged and unchanging Catholic faith. I am arguing for a difficult teaching to accept, and you are arguing for an easy way to get along with everyone and not to have any problems. Jesus didn’t seem to follow that way and he urged us to carry our cross and to be his disciples who can expect to be treated like their master.
@BeholdAndLo-f4v i’m not sure that I should keep talking with you if you’re going to make statements like Saint Paul is silly and wrong. You were claiming higher authority than Saint Paul, while I am merely claiming to understand what Saint Paul wrote and not to have a personal opinion about what Saint Paul wrote, but you expressed to you the traditional meaning always opinion of the church, the official teaching of the church until Vatican to mess things up. That’s what we’re discussing: can we know better than Jesus Saint Paul, and the entire tradition of Catholicism prior to 1960? Can we change the faith based upon our own belief that we are so much smarter than everyone Else who lived including St. Thomas Aquinas and Saint Francis I’m choosing to say no I’m gonna go with the guys in heaven. You just said St Paul is silly think about that a little harder.
love your jacket brother ken
The Pope misled these youth and missed an opportunity to tell them that Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father. And then the dialogue could start to lead them to the knowledge the Jesus is God’s ONLY son, who died for their sins, rose from the dead so they can live with Him eternally!
I can't wait for pope Francis to leave
Since Vatican 2 Jesus is not called God in any documents and mortal sin is never addressed in any documents it’s hinted at but not condemned as a mortal sin like abortion etc
Are you sure you read Dei Verbum which is Vatican 2? It says it multiple times that Jesus is lord and scripture.
@@xeraanimatics6653
But not Jesus is God 🙂👍
The average Catholic or any religious faith don’t see lord as God they see Rabbi or master or teacher etc but not that Jesus is God
It’s like the Eucharist if it’s not explained properly by the clergy then it’s seen as bread and just symbolism in fact the whole Catholic Church becomes symbolism
@@xeraanimatics6653
I didn’t mention scripture the bible
But Jesus doesn’t ever say he is God or he would’ve been condemned a sinner according to Jewish law he hinted at it even at his trial he hinted at his divinity and was put to death by the Jews under false accusations as he never broke the law
When Jesus rose from the dead the disciples understood who he was as Thomas said My Lord and My God
And this should be shouted from the rooftops by all the clergy and all catholics
Jesus is God
Martin, lord is synonymous with God.
@@PoppinPsinceAD33
Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, chief, or ruler.[1][2] The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective "Lords" can refer to a group or body of peers.
Lord doesn’t have to mean God
Mk 9:38-40John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.
🕊️As a Catholic who actually reads scripture, the following confirms why this pope is in fact a wolf in sheep’s clothing⬇️
1. Are other “gods” found in other religions idols❓
🕊️“For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.” 1 Chronicles 16:26
2. Do idols in other religions forsake our loyalty to our Father❓
🕊️“Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their true loyalty.” The Book of Jonah 2:8
3. Is the worship of idols in other religions the beginning, cause and end of every evil❓
🕊️”For the worship of idols not to be named is the beginning and cause and end of every evil.” Wisdom of Solomon 14:27
4. Is anything offered or used within any other religion towards idols by default offered to and used for the benefit of demons❓
🕊️“What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21
5. Can there be any agreement between our Father and idols or us and idols found in other religions❓
🕊️”What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,” 2 Corinthians 6:16-17
6. Does our Father hate the things people do for other gods in other religions❓
🕊️“Take heed that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?-that I also may do likewise.’ You shall not do so to the Lord your God; for every abominable thing which the Lord hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.” Deuteronomy 12:30-31
7. Have we been told not to become like foreigners that believe in other gods in other religions❓
🕊️”So take care not to become at all like the foreigners or to let fear for these gods possess you, when you see the multitude before and behind them worshiping them. But say in your heart, “It is you, O Lord, whom we must worship.” Baruch 6:5-6
8. Why should we stay away from other religions when they refuse to accept Jesus as our Lord & Savior❓
🕊️“That they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices which they have done in the service of their gods, and so to sin against the Lord your God. - Deuteronomy 20:18
9. Will people face penalties for devoting themselves to idols found in other religions❓
🕊️“But just penalties will overtake them on two counts: because they thought wickedly of God in devoting themselves to idols, and because in deceit they swore unrighteously through contempt for holiness.” Wisdom of Solomon 14:30
10. Was the Apostle Paul known for calling people out for their belief in false gods found in other religions❓
🕊️“And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable company of people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.” Acts 19:26
11. Why do Christians reject all other gods found in other religions❓
🕊️”For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth-as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”- yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” 1 Corinthians 8:5-6
12. Is Jesus the only way to our Heavenly Father❓
🕊️”Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
13. How are people around the world drawn to Jesus❓
🕊️“All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.” John 6:37
14. Is Jesus aware of people who do not believe❓
🕊️“But there are some of you that do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” John 6:64-65
15. Why don’t certain people believe in Jesus❓
🕊️“Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;” John 10:25-27
16. Will people die in their sin for not believing in Jesus❓
🕊️“He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.” John 8:23-24
17. Will anyone who refuses to believe that Jesus is our Lord & Savior be condemn❓
🕊️”He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:16
18. Is anyone not with Jesus automatically against him❓
🕊️“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” Luke 11:23
19. Can we find salvation through anyone else or by any other name separate from Jesus❓

20. Is Jesus the same yesterday, today and for ever❓

As a Catholic, i can admit that their are more wolves than shepherds in power within his true church but we aren’t called to leave but to hold it accountable which the majority of Christians have failed to do⬇️
🕊️”Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him;” Luke 17:3
🕊️”Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” Galatians 6:1-3
🕊️”As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without favor, doing nothing from partiality.” 1 Timothy 5:20-21
🕊️”For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the Church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13
Thank you for being a witness. May I ask why or how can you be a Catholic when you study the Bible? It is called an irregular church for a reason.
@@donnaw3765 🕊️The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
📖"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
📖“Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
📖“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
📖“[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
📖“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
📖“We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
📖“It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
📖“The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
📖“After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
@@donnaw3765 🕊️Should Christians renounce religion (The Catholic Church)❓ In order to properly understand this statement, we must dive deeper into scripture and allow our Father’s Holy Spirit to reveal his truth.
1. Did the Jewish community reject Jesus’ teachings❓

7. Did the Apostle Peter see himself equally with the elders (presbyters / priests)❓
🕊️”So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.” 1 Peter 5:1-4
8. Did Deacons, Elders (presbyters / priests) & Bishops exist within the Christian religion prior to Rome’s adoption of it in 313 A.D.❓

14. Should we avoid people who hold the form of religion but deny the power of it❓
🕊️“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
15. How is someone’s Christian religion demonstrated as vain❓
🕊️”If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain.” James 1:26

🕊️“And when they had brought them, they set them before the council.

18. Are we called to follow the Christian religion blindly❓
🕊️”Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” He answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

I was trying to bring some of my friends who believe all religion is same" I say no all religions are not same. Which other God promised eternal life? Who taught us to love our enemies, who brought forgiveness of sins. Who has died for our sins?,"
POPE BENEDICT XV (succeeded Pius X in 1912): “In the Church there is room for divergent opinions, and it is clearly the right of everyone to express and defend his or her own opinion. But in such discussions no expressions should be used that might constitute serious breaches of charity; let each one freely defend his or her own opinion, but let it be done with due moderation, so that no one should consider himself or herself entitled to affix on those who merely do not agree with their ideas the stigma of disloyalty to faith or to discipline. It is, moreover, our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations (designations) that have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided... they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics... There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism; it is quite enough for each one to proclaim ‘Catholic is my name and Christian is my surname,’ only let them endeavor to be in reality what they call themselves.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic True, if they're truths revealed by Christ. Christ said nothing about there being no salvation outside of the Catholic faith. Besides, Vatican II documents did away with that error.
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic Those councils were corrected by The Second Vatican Council.
Why didn't he answer the question asked to him about Pope Frnacis saying all Religion leads to God.
Wow, listening to this very informative talk, praying for 'retention ' of this truth🙏
Cont......... Each person subconsciously knows what is right and wrong of whatever religion. If he follows the will of God subconsciously, Jesus would, at the last moment, if accepts his mercy.
Pope Francis! No way, not all religions are path to God. There is only path to one God. There is only way to God. only thru God the Father , God the Son& God the Holy Spirit. This is the Faith of our Catholic Church & no other way. Only One God & no other God
The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing…
Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23
Peace!!!
An unbearably arrogant statement
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic In the catechism of the Catholic Church, it is written that there are rays of truth in other religions as well (which point to God). There is fullness of truth in the Catholic Church.
No, but I'm almost always upset when someone write buddhists go to hell. I'm roman catholic and deep believe that Jesus is way to Heavenly Father. He is also a God with Father and Holy Spirit, but if someone didn't hear about gospel, I think such person is not predestinate to hell. For us cathklic deep trust in Jesus + deeds are centre of our faith. Also following for example as saints are important, because people who serve the Will of God are holy. Protestants think that only deep faith, without trying to be best versikn of ourselves can save us. I think we need both faith and work. By the fruits you know them!
And Jesus said: "Do not judge as you will be judged with the same measure."
The Pope isnt always here to "evangelize" Christ but to BE CHRIST with love, accepting others in all ways. Then, when we have a relationship with people, we can then lead them to Christ.
Bullshit..Francis is a coward and cares not for the truth. He should be condemned and thrown out..He makes me ashamed of being a catholic.
Thank you Father, thank you Gabriel for enlightening our minds and calming our hearts.
Personally, when I heard what Pope Francis said to this audience made me so deeply sad because he didn't mention the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, just hearing JESUS Name brings to me The Father and the Holy Spirit together with Him: ONE GOD, ONE TRUE RELIGIÓN.
My daily prayers for our Pope Francis, and all Consecrated Souls.
To the worker of iniquity, po pe; DID you forget Exod us 34:14 "...for you shall worship NO other god, for the LORD, whose name is JEALOUS, is a jealous GOD,..."
I have to say that there were things maybe i understood then the next second it was way over my head... ill keep praying ♥️🙏✌️
The Pope is still being guided by the Holy Spirit. He is showing the other people of different religions to see Jesus in the gospel. He is bringing them to see one truth. Be patient, the Holy is guiding him.
No, Holy Spirit can't be in unholy body.
We, sinners can't see Father, because his energy will burn us. Holy Spirit not coming and leaving body. Holy Spirit can't come inside the men, who ok with abortion, gay marriages, lying, etc.
@irynamusyakevich9303 the Pope is against abortion and gay marriage your listening to fake news. Listen to Michael lofton he researches on what the Pope really means. Listen to the Michael lofton show reason and theology. And let me know what you think Hod bless you.

Pope Francis said “ All religions are a path to God “ ( John 14:6 ) Jesus said “ I am the way the truth, and the life no man comes to the Father but through Me “ the question is who do you follow ??? ( John 10:27 ) Jesus said “ My sheep, hear My voice, and I know them and the follow Me “

I wonder Ken , if you have heard of ‘Divine Will’ ………….Luisa Piccarreta????
I pray that if and when Fr Stefano Penna becomes the Pope, that he would have all positive comments from his fellow priests. Amen
Many sound things shared that are scripturally sound.. Music to the ear. A more INFORMED, balanced and respectful handling of the topic on more levels than not. Question: Having said all you did, did you then say that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic church? Of course you did. (smile)
The doctrine of papal infallibility specifically applies when the Pope makes a declaration ex cathedra (from the chair of St. Peter) on matters of faith and morals. This means that the Pope is considered infallible only when he:
Speaks in his official capacity as the supreme pastor and teacher of all Christians.
Intends to define a doctrine that must be held by the entire Church.
Addresses a matter of faith or morals.
This infallibility is believed to be guided by the Holy Spirit, ensuring that the doctrine is free from error. It does not mean that the Pope is infallible in all his statements or actions, but only under these specific conditions.
Since the formal definition of papal infallibility at the First Vatican Council in 1870, the Pope has exercised ex cathedra authority only once. This was in 1950, when Pope Pius XII declared the dogma of the Assumption of Mary, stating that Mary, "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory"
And how does this work? The Pope sits on the chair and say "Power Rangers activate!" and suddenly he upgrades to God level infallible ? So when he does not activate,he is basically retarded in his statements and when he activates he is like God! Sure bro!
Thou shall not judge, yet you guys are laughing out loud judging at others. Understand the cultures around the world so that you will understand what Pope Francis' words meant. Is there only one religion in the world? Or do you prefer wars arising from arguing over religion(s)?
In addition, Singapore, as mentioned in this video, is a wonderful country which everyone can see. There are Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians that make up the entire race ethnics. And the majority of the citizens believe in Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islamic teaching. Despite the differences in everyone's beliefs and religions, everyone do have to agree and accept the fact that ALL people in this nation live in harmony and filled with respect for one another's religious practices too. Hence, please do more research before commenting in an armchair's view. Love conquers everything. Peace is something so precious and valuable, please treasure it at all times.
I pray for our Pope every day.
thank you Farther, I always say we are under the same God, but how can we show Love as Jesus Loves us which positive move forward, not only life with a coma, or golden rule.
Meanwhile the unasked question is if it sounds like heresy then why isn’t it heresy and why isn’t Pope Francis a heretic?
The difference about other pope's verses Francis is that Benedict and JP2 and Pius X all spoke with great clarity. This layman seems to be moreclear than this priest. Sometimes education clouds the true belief in the Church's mission.
If education clouds true belief, then what's being taught is not true.
This was a very helpful discussion in the wake of the Pope’s confusing commentary. I can appreciate that both men don’t throw out the baby with the bath water but remain committed to Christ despite the misleading teachings from their Pope, but I did not like how Fr Penna seems to defend Pope Francis in the end. Yes all believers should be praying for the Pope, but more so than that, the Pope needs to be corrected. As a non-Catholic Christian, the Pope making these statements really soldiers to me that 1 Timothy ch4 is talking about churches like the Catholic Church:
“Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared, prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving; for it has been sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer. By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured. But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.”

How about other faiths that sacrificed lives ,to kill thier own in oder to offer to thier gods? In the catholic church the holy mass is the essence of our faith ! It's a simple ceremony but most important to offer our humble self to God and accept him through our holy communion.By repenting and ask God to the forgiveness of our sins! 🙏💞 The priests are most important ,because they are the one's who officiated the most important part in our faith the holy mass! 🙏💖 There's no one who can do this except them!.Jesus Christ requires this celebration,why is there's some who made this complicated? Is that a red flag and a warning in the revelations in new testament about the Anti Christ?
"It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of profoundly transforming the human soul, making it capable of doing good even in the most difficult situations, of extinguishing hatred and reconciling parties engaged in conflict. May everyone, every man and woman, in full freedom, know the Gospel of Jesus, who has reconciled God and humanity in his Person, and who, knowing what is in the human heart, can heal its wounds."

I never oppose my Catholic Church but what pope said I don’t understand still and I am puzzled .
@@BijoyP-h2l It's ok to oppose false or condemned teachings and heresy. In fact it's our duty to point out errors as brethren in Christ.
Many saints of the past challenged Popes even in regard to their legitimacy.
The Truth sets us free. Just read up on Church Doctrine and Dogma, Revelation and The Gospels, and make a decision informed by the discernment of The Holy Spirit as to whether to accept and follow it or not.
Minute 34:00 , ”unity is not uniformity ” …..in a market place….
This is the gospel of Mammon! Cultural , religious differences are viewed as diversified consumption and thus to be celebrated.
