“You can’t be pro life and hope people to go to hell”. So important!
I am not sure if that is contradictory. If you are against abortion it’s because you see it as bad and a sin that would send you to hell; therefore, there is a part of you that realizes that someone can go to hell if they take certain action. And if you have a hope to go to heaven could that mean that there is a hope that sin gets punished with hell and therefore if you are a proliferation you have to hope that some people will go to hell?
Awesomelipe do you honestly believe that an omnipotent loving god would condemn people to an eternal (or even temporary but very very painful) torture?
Like...really?
Explain pls.
Who hopes people go to hell?
This is just shadow boxing, people coming up with a fault or impugning a false motive in others to make themselves feel better about themselves.
@@awesomelipe8396 Actually when you think about it the main reason for some religious people and Catholics to be pro life other than life being sacred hence you shouldn’t destroy it (Thou Shalt Not Kill) is the belief that you cannot know God if you haven’t been baptised and if you do not know God how can you achieve Heaven. So for Catholics the 5th commandment and having the chance to be baptised are the two main theological and moral reasons. Every person should have the chance to know God
@@awesomelipe8396 Hate the SIN. Not the SINNER.
I am an atheist for many years, but watching your videos I sense something I felt as a child when my grandma took me to church. She told me that was the presence of the Holy Spirit. It's been 10 years now, but this Sunday I'm going to Church.
Thank you brother C. or as we in Bosnia say ujače (uncle).
P.S. excuse my English 😅
God bless you brother/sister 🙏🏼
You are another good fruit of Fr. Casey or rather the Holy Spirit working through him. It only proves that God dwells in the soul of this young priest. Fr. Casey is truly guided by God. Praise be to God!
Bro. Raoul, I prayed 3 Hail Marys for you to ask God to give you grace of your complete conversion and the grace of FINAL PERSEVERANCE. We need the grace of final perseverance so that we can be sure of our salvation because St. Jerome said many begin well but few persevere.
"But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved." - Matthew 24:13
Pray often or better every day for the grace of perseverance like the grace to persevere in praying the rosary properly or devoutly, that is, with humility, faith, hope, love and perseverance, to go to confession and Mass, to persevere in doing good, to persevere despite the many hardship and trials we may encounter etc. If we persevere in praying the rosary devoutly, our salvation is certain because praying the rosary properly or devoutly will give us the grace of true contrition for all our sins and the grace of our genuine conversion, thus, we are certain of our salvation. You must also ask for the grace of perfect detachment of heart continually. We need to break all our attachments because they impede our spiritual growth and hinder our salvation. We will achieve this gradually by God's grace. Praise God!
"A good tree cannot bear bad fruit; a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:18
"So you will know them by their fruit". - Matthew 7:20
“you cant be pro life and hate people...
you cant be pro life and hope people go to hell”
TOTALLY AGREE! ☺️
You can’t be Catholic and support the destruction of human people and not speak out boldly and emphatically. This isn’t a social issue. This is human life being destroyed while we sit back and watch.
@meynarissa manuel you definitely have the right spirit. It's very disheartening to see alleged Christians so filled with hate.
@@fioralisamoretti205 How is condemning the destruction of human life hateful? Where is the hate in my comment? It’s criminal that all Christians aren’t knocking down the walls of Planned Parenthoods to save the tiniest humans from being starved, torn apart, dismembered, poisoned, burned alive and discarded like trash? Abortion is a satanic sacrifice. The satanic church can. Ow be so bold as to admit it. But we should be loving the Satanists and their horrific Holocaust and singing Kumbaya around the campfire. You can make that choice. But I’m going to beat down doors to save our children from being murdered at 3,000 per day. I’ll take my chances with Jesus.
@@CassaundraBabe I was not addressing you.
But thanks for proving my point.
@@fioralisamoretti205 you are in a public forum. You’re addressing everyone. What was your point? That the destruction of human life isn’t worthy of being saved? I beg the lord for mercy on your soul and those Christians ignoring the destruction of his most innocent children while Christians think it’s more important to smile and walk the other way than stand up for the crucifixion of 1.5 million children every year in America alone. I beg the sweet infant Jesus to bring us to our knees in repentance and cover us with His Holy Precious Blood in order to be unblinded by the evil of the satanic sacrifice of abortion. In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce them spirit of Destruction, apathy, ignorance, Holocaust and mass murder. Through the intercession of the Mother of Hod who appears with the mountains of bloodied babies destroyed by abortion and weeps, i renounce the spirits of insurrection, murder, human sacrifice. In the name of Jesus Christ, I choose life.
"Nothing is worth loosing your soul over."
And well said Father, Hope others listen to the "whole" message for a change.
While you let that Happen know that you are allowing 200,000 children (Same no as the People killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to be killed Daily within their mothers womb.
6 million EVERY SINGLE MONTH (that's the amount of Jews killed in Holocaust).
And 73 Million EVERY SINGLE YEAR. SO WANNA KNOW SOMETHING CASEY! IT'S A PRETTY HUGE DEAL! (oh yeah Btw 73 million is greater than the combined death toll of 1st and 2nd world wars, two of the most destructive world wars fought on the face of the planet! THE TWO WORLD WARS TOOK 10 YEARS TO KILL THE SAME THAT ABORTION KILLS IN A SINGLE YEAR).
“You can’t be pro-life and hope people go to Hell.” This is so important for us to remember!
Very important.
@Gangari TheWanderer agreed! But being charitable and having hope that they will repent is necessary. From what Fr was saying, it doesn’t sound like people were being charitable. Also he wasn’t supporting abortion!
@Gangari TheWanderer but only God can judge this, not you and not me, what we should an can do, is christian charity
I think that what you say, Ann, is so powerful, that it deserves no answer starting with "True, but..." And if you start answering "True, but...": Can't you just once in your life stop trying to have the last word, and just support such an essential thought?
Many ‘pro life’ use that as an excuse to hate and condemn as if theyre so holy. If they lie, cheat, curse etc theyre sinning just the same
Pro-life should not end at the issue of abortion. Support for children who are suffering from poverty, in orphanage, and in abusive households should be at the upmost importance as well. Children who have been born must be given the same attention and care as those who are unborn. It’s frustrating that people seem to forget that societal issues are not black and white. So many factors come into play. To be pro life is to protect life at all times, from conception to natural death.
Obviously, but abortion is the primary act that takes more lives than anything else. Comparing abortion to poverty or suffering in an abusive situation is a fallacy. While poverty and other sufferings are horrible, abortion destroys the lives of the innocent. It would be like saying the Holocaust was the same evil as the situation of those who are impoverished.
Many pro-choice individuals use your argument to justify abortion.
Prove that poverty kills more than abortion
It is wrong of you to think that your fellow Catholics do not feel this way. Stop judging with your straw men.
@@laurenlee961 they aren't really Catholic/Christian if they do not save those who are alive and in need first, not those without even a notion of humanity nor soul.
@@robc8892 are you serious ? The fact that in the United States almost 10 percent of people do not have health insurance and are living below the poverty line. 4.5 % of all deaths in the US come from poverty. And this is in a country with the highest GDP in the world. Im not defending abortion by any means but to be pro life doesn’t stop there.
Athiest here: Love your videos. I think you're a great guy with good intentions. And even though I may not agree with you about everything. I respect the crap out of you. Thanks for the interesting and educational videos. They are important to understand and humanize the people around you.
IKR. This guy is honestly the best. If more religious people were like him, the world would be a better place.
Same here. I’ve watched 10+ videos
Comments like these are what made me realise not all the atheists are like the fanatical, negative nasty ones (of which I saw fair few on youtube, Yahoo Answers and websites about that awful boardgame Diplomacy). That and Jonathan Haidt videos.
Same! Like I'm pro-choice, except for late-term, but he describes his side so.... Civilized. It's nice. No yelling or anger. I really wish many Christians were more chill like this guy.
@@aregulargamer1 There are lot of religious people like him, but they usually avoid making too much noise and work silently.
He is doing a great work giving those silent people a voice; we are tired to have our beliefs hijacked by idiot zealots that knows every command inside the Bible except those who commands respect and acceptance.
God hates the sins but damn sure He doesn't hate the sinner.
Bravo, Father! You handled that masterfully. As a priest for 31 years I have been impressed by the gift God has given you and your excellent use of it. I have used a few of your videos with my teen club. When I watched the first version of this video, I will admit I was uneasy. I knew what you were saying, but I felt your point didn't come through in the way you intended, and I was afraid you were going to get backlash. Boy did you!!! We all learn from our mistakes, but we have to be allowed to be human and make mistakes once in a while. I am appalled that people who call themselves Christians would treat you that way. I get the same thing on my blog from some people who disagree with me, so I say to you "welcome to the club!" But remember as well: "Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven will be great!" (Matt. 5:11-13)
“You can’t be pro-life and hate people”- 👈🏻 this, yes!
Yes! That part! ❤
Exactly that part
Bro... Jesus expelled the merchants from the temple with a Whip...
Hate the sin, not the sinner.
Hang in there! Prayers.
I thought that your purpose was clear as well. Christ is the center of our lives, not our causes. You were in my prayers over the weekend. I promise to pray for you at least once a week.
A MILLION DEAD BABIES A YEAR. Good luck answering to God for that when you explain you just wanted everyone to run around the Maypole and play patticakes.
"Over the past decade I have grown more and more disappointed in the so called pro-life movement that seems to care about only one issue of life and is so readily align themselves with the economic and social issues of the Rupublican party, I see Catholic so enflamed with passion for this issues that they not only willing to collaborate repugnant politicians and fundamentalist Christian theology, they are willing to cheer them on, even look for ways to support them... willing to uncritically support justices that also allow affronts the human family in other ways [no examples given] that are more in line with conservative economics than life issues, in this issue as well, their actions betray them" - Breaking the habit
The timing of the video is so convenient given the growing criticism of Joe Biden's pro abortion position. I get he is a democrat and overlooks the issue as not so important but he shouldn't be demonizing Republicans as unchristian.
@@debaterofeverythingpresent2775 Exactly, you can't be Christian and support abortion. Joe Biden and every Catholic who voted for him should be excommunicated.
@@thepopeyesapologist6636 Maybe just Joe Biden because he is actively pushing for abortion.
Crowley : What has he said that made everyone so upset?
Aziraphale : Be kind to each other.
Crowley : Oh yeah. That'll do it.
Kindness is not a replacement for love, not even close. In fact, love sometimes require people not to be kind, for example when a parent needs to scold his child, he might come off as unkind, but in the long run those lessons will make his son/daughter a better person closer to God.
@@MiguelAngel-dm9hx very well written. Love the sinner, not the sin. It’s not a lame platitude, it’s beautiful.
Signed an atheist who is very pro life, but forgiving of it more so the earlier then the later. 2nd term and especially 3rd term are horrific. The thought of which makes me gasp and lose my breath. 😢
@@MiguelAngel-dm9hx so burning down a clinic, beating people is ok? Cause you love them?
@@MiguelAngel-dm9hx love IS kind. It doesn’t have to be soft to be kind.
wow - so edgy.
I'm so glad you didn't back peddle. GOD BLESS YOU, father!
I’ve sadly seen many “Christians” who wish hell upon their enemies, and I’m like “bro that’s the opposite of what we’re supposed to do.
As an Avid Pro-Lifer, I understood the message your video was trying to convey and I very very much appreciated it 👍
@LC F. luckily I don’t own Twitter and if I get it I only need to follow my family and gaming studios 😂
Whose life are you pro?
I totally understood you.
@@tenebrisrex333 Mother and Child’s. Womb to the Tomb. Everyone’s. Pro-Life, Anti-Death Penalty, etc
I’ve had personal life experiences driven me to be intensely pro life, and even I understand what you meant. Abortion is a terrible thing to do, and it is a sinful action to ever advocate, but it is not worth selling our souls to the devil for. May God bless you, father Casey, For reminding me of that.
When Jesus spread the truth he was also ostracized for it. These attacks are further proof that you are on the right path. I am not a Christian but it's amazing to see you be strong in your faith.
Padre, I've shown a number of your videos to my high school theology students because of their high quality and the way you make our Faith both appealing and reasonable. Thanks for doing a lot of the heavy lifting in evangelization. You do great work for His Kingdom!
Cierto! I love his videos, they brought me back to the catholic faith with a newfound understanding and appreciation for it.
As a non -catholic - but as a Christian, I am appalled at the responses you received because of your video! I am so sorry that you have had to put up with people who are somehow not "getting it". Pray for them, and for you Father Casey. You are my hero - You've done a great service to humanity. Congrats! God bless
Support of The Heretics, clearly a Hallmark of The Truth. isn't it?
@@doncolasanti9487 Do you think fellow Christians are heretics?
@@Alwayslearnimg Well technically No, because they're not actually Christians
@@doncolasanti9487 Who is not actually Christian?
@@Alwayslearnimg Heretics. obviously
It's okay father don't be too hard on yourself, the internet can be a difficult place
Jesus forbade the use of religious titles. Religious men are not to be called Fathers (life-givers).
It also has an attention span of about 48 hours.
@@trulytrue3661 I understand where your coming from, your talking about Mathew 23:9 right? Please understand that if thats what was being communicated you could not call your own biological father, father. If you want to know more you can look up the catholic understanding of this it might help clear some things up. But we might just have to agree to disagree. Hope I don't upset you I just want to explain myself. Thank you for your concern my fellow christian🤍
Yep. The internet is mean.
@@trulytrue3661 this quote is entirely out of context and you also have St. Paul referring to himself as father in his letter to the Corinthians.
I think the controversy may be what ultimately put you on my recommended list, and for that I am grateful.
Fr. Casey, I want to apologize on behalf of my fellow anti-abortion activists. You were absolutely right in your first video, and I for one truly appreciated the reminder that anything that causes us to sin is to be cut out of our lives if we can't control it. Please know, there are those of us who actively speak out against abortion that took the time to watch your whole statement and value what you said.
Fr. Casey, you're ministry is a huge part of why I'm reverting to the Catholic Church. I'm genuinely grateful to you, may God bless you. Don't listen to the haters.
Amen. You are just one of the many good fruits that Fr. Casey has produced or rather the Holy Spirit (working through him). Jesus said we will know who are His TRUE disciples or NOT by their fruit. Fr. Casey is a TRUE disciple of Christ because he has been bearing good fruits, the MARK of a TRUE disciple of Christ.

"So you will know them by their fruit." - Matthew 7:20
Glória
As an atheist, I find you to be one of the few Christians that I’ve seen that are true and genuine in their faith, and I can respect your views on abortion as a result. Most are quick to judge and condemn and hate as has been seen here, but you... you get it. It gives me some hope that religion can still do good.
As a Christian myself I can totally resonate with what you say.
Same
Glad you are here. True followers of Christ and His teachings, would NEVER hate anything but the sinful actions of misguided or ignorant people. All the Catholics on this site are praying for you, I’m sure.
Just goes to show you how empty religion is and how so very few people truly know Jesus.
Man, the word of Jesus Christ has always done good. I was an atheist and I converted when I found out that Jesus is indeed the Son Of God.
I hope you can find it and see it for yourself one day, too.
Father, let me say that I was one of those who saw the thumbnail and dismissed it out of hand because of the title, and for that I'm sorry for not even giving you a fair hearing on what you were actually saying.
That is admirable of you to admit. A good learning opportunity, and I say that as someone who has made the same mistake in other circumstances. 🌼
People saying "I was wrong" is what keeps on saving the world day after day.
An act of Charity that covers a multitude of sins, perhaps the hardest one.
My admiration as a fellow wrong-doer, aka "human".
God bless you! Most folks won’t admit it and remain quietly ashamed. You are a role model.
I am so, SO SORRY that you're going through this, Father Casey. I couldn't agree with you more and you have my support!!
Don’t back off. you were right to begin with. It was clear to me, it was clear to your haters. They just gonna hate. Keep on doing what you’re doing. Your’re bright, charismatic, good man of God. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
*still keeping that helmet just in case*
Bojaaaaan!
But i have to say, that i liked your politics after the capitol incident video more.
Ok, when we gonna see this crossover? Forget Godzilla vs King Kong, that's my hype now!
Good to see you here. I always thought that you would love this channel a lot
Still here lol
Bojan?? Odd to see you here 😂
In the name of the unborn, you can’t forget about them when they are actually born and leave the womb.
What amazes me is that “following Jesus” means fight and kill for some people, who could think Jesus would do that? In my understanding following Jesus means to imitate him, to do as he would do.
I seem to recall bracelets in my youth everyone wearing saying just that. 👍🏻
Father you do not stand alone. Im here and not alone. Peace be with you...
*"You cant be pro-life and hate people, You cant be pro-life and attack your enemies"*
Very wise words, Real Christians don't hate others regardless if you agree with them or not.
Hate hate hate their actions.Attack attack attack their arguments and save lives.
I'm not sorry if this hurts your feelings. Love hurts and then heals.
The Church for 2000 years has attacked intrinsically evil things.
@@lolas185 I could hate hate hate your actions by not being very Catholic because Jesus does tell us to love one another and attacking anyone you disagree with or in this case, don't understand, but I don't.

Father- my husband and I totally understood what you were trying to say. You explained it so well and cleared up anxiety that we had over the last few months of our political chaos. You are in our daily prayers and will continue to watch your wonderful TH-cams. 🙏

Christians really seem to hate each other. It's weird.
@@a.j.rivera3123 You could literally say that about anybody on the internet, particularly the loudest ones of any camp.
We need to stop using 'God' as our "right" or weapon to hurt people.
Not “we”. Dedicated Christians operate in love. Weaponizing God is the height of false righteousness and narcissism. Unfortunately, there are a multitude of individuals as well as misguided church ministers who are led by anger and hate. Think Westboro Baptist Church for example. So many folks are being misled by false teachings but... each of us knows that God is Love and that we have the individual right of free will. God gave us free will to turn away from any thoughts of hate or turn away from anyone that preaches hate. Folks are capable of turning toward God with love. Folks are capable of turning away from God with hate. I am appalled by Social media hate. My heart hurts when hate is used in harming others or their property. These are such obvious ways to place oneself above God, above love.
People hurt themself with their choices.
Sandra Real We? need to stop speak for yourself.
We love you, Father, and you are in our prayers!!!! I got your first video and stand with you on this one as well, WE are called to BE coherent! Blessings!!!!
Brother, you're a much needed disciple of love needed today.
I left the church and spend several years as an atheist because of the amount of hate that I felt from so many people similar to the ones you lament about in this video. I was was brought back to God by a wonderful woman who expressed her feelings for God through kindness and love for me. That left a lasting impression on me and taught me that the only way the church can bring people into communion with God is through love and kindness. You remind me a lot of that woman who had such a profound affect on me.
There have always been factions in the Church with some horrific stories recorded in church history among ourselves (we are human after all). But, I agree, the ability to spew hate so easily via media is saddening.
I try to stay away from such church ugliness in person and online (but I am human, too). Peace and good be yours from the God of love who created and gifted the world to us.
Judgement is easy. Remaining silent and not judging someone is hard in our society. That is why I do my best to not judge. Christ is the judge.
Yes! Well said!
He's also the judge of what is true discipleship, which is why the original video is mainly at fault.
Hello Father Cassey, a middle age lady here who could be your mom, I love you and Father Patrick and your videos. Keep up the good work, those who listened to your message got it. One life is no less important than another. Love you♥️
Thank you for verbalizing my feelings. These past few years I have felt a great number of losses. I don’t
Feel like Americans are my people , I don’t
feel like Christians are my people and I don’t feel like Catholics are my people. I feel ashamed. Nothing shakes my faith in Catholicism but I DO feel alone in my faith. I became a catholic after 3 years in a Catholic school. My folks put me in it at the age of 7 because I stopped talking when they divorced( this was late 1950 ‘s. ). I fell in love with the Mass and never missed a day going for 3 years. My family was not Catholic. When I asked my mom if I could become Catholic, she said yes and gave me an alarm clock as a baptism gift saying “you’ll need to get up for Sunday Mass”. It was a gift of acceptance and kindness. The next 15 years, I spent trying to figure out how my families behavior “ fit” with my faith. We had multiple divorces and 2 babies born with both of my sisters still in high school. It WAS hard on me with the negativity from fellow Catholics. BUT, coming to the realization of the CONCEPT of your video on abortion helped me greatly. I could have used it 40 years ago. Carry on young man, with confidence and joy. I don’t feel alone anymore.
“You can’t be pro-life and hate people, you can’t be pro-life and attack your enemies, you can’t be pro-life and hope that people go to hell.” It’s not who we, as Christians, are!!
Thank you Fr. Casey!! ♥️ Your original message and this message are both very clear (and actually quite refreshing, it’s something we all have to hear and be reminded of.) We always have to move closer to Christ with love and charity toward one another. Keeping you in my prayers. 🙏🏼 God bless you always!!
We should also be careful not to become the thought police of what is true discipleship. There are countless Saints who would be convicted. Saint Mother Teresa would be one, who accepted tainted donations.
I very much agree. The video was very clear.
Pro-life means you care for all people. A fetus, a child, a teenager, an adult, an elderly person. Mothers, fathers, leaders, sinners, saints. I’m sorry you had to face so much controversy Fr. Casey. I think you handled this very maturely. 👍
Thank you, Father. You're a gem! Your videos are like the answers to my prayers and also the answers to my questions about so many things. Thank you!
In the words of one of my favorite artists. “Let mercy lead, let love be the strength in your legs, and with every footprint that you leave there’ll be a drop of grace”.
Rich Mullins?
Father,
I spent virtually the entire weekend defending your initial video! Certain viewers just DID NOT get your message.
Our country has become so polarized over political identity. Yet we Christians have the Gospel to unify us! In many cases, my politics and my faith are aligned; but when they are at odds with one another, faith ALWAYS trumps politics (pardon the pun).
Politics is for this life alone; our faith touches our eternity. And we will be judged accordingly.
Hopefully, this follow-up video will shed light on those who responded with hatred to the first one.
Your brother in Christ,
Deacon Paul
I thought the video was great - people who didn’t get it weren’t listening, obviously.
perfect
They didn’t . That’s a give problem amongst people now and too close to the norm .😐
Exactly what I thought... People just didn't watch it.
It should be a lesson then not to use click baity, tricky, headlines in the videos.
@@rachela.5311 have you watched this video? Fr. Casey explicitly addresses accusations of “click bait” titles.
"People are more interested in being offended" - Nothing more clearly outlines our modern socio-political problems than this statement. If we could get less interested in being offended and more interested in loving people a lot of problems would be solved very quickly.
Both sides are full of snowflakes with their own sensitive spots that they get instantly triggered over. The world would be a better place if people stop digging into their own bubbles and throwing hate at everyone outside their own information bubbles.
Honestly this guy is by far the most likable preacher on here, from the vids i saw he doesn't even seem like a preacher. I haven't found a Christian more liberal since Dennis Prager came out as Bi
I'm not even a Catholic, but I love listening to your videos. You're doing a great job! God bless you!

@@ACF1901 You completely misunderstand the meaning of the quote. Read 1 John 4:19-21.
You do not love God, whom you cannot see, if you refuse to obey His command to love your brother who you HAVE seen. The point being, anyone who CLAIMS to love God but does not show it in the way he or she treats other people is deluding his or herself and is, in point of fact, a liar.
I can’t believe you had to revisit this . I’m sad to say people hear selectively and miss the major content .
I’m so proud of you for this .
Reading titles unfortunately is how people are sharing misinformation.
You’re a good priest and those people aren’t Christian .
Critical thinking has been lost .
You were spot on .
You owe no one an explaination. People seem to be looking for reasons to attack and be hateful “ in the name of God “.
So sorry you had such fall out . I understood your context and again -BRAVO!
I’ll remind those people that here is where the old saying “ the road to hell is paved with ‘good ‘ intentions.

It’s not a failure. Not on your end . Can’t speak for the others .❤️
You are in my prayers. My parish had a similar experience when we stood up to anti racist behavior.

Thanks
Amen!!!!
Father Casey, my dear brother in Christ! I actually thought that your first video was a prophetic word for many Christians and so called 'Christians'. To those who attacked you and call themselves followers of Christ I say REPENT! For they have spoken against a godly priest and will be judged. Had people listened to the video, and heard what you said they would have seen you were speaking God's truth.
I related completely to your first video, in my early days as a priest I was part of a group Christians who opposed abortion, however their tactics and attitudes towards women who sought abortion became deeply hateful and frightening! Their hatred twisted them to become deeply sinful and they truly looked totally unChristian. I left that group quietly but they turned on me savagely and attacked me too!
Please Father, keep up your online ministry, you are a blessing to many and even reach many non-Catholics (like me). I usually pray for you but I'll uphold you even more now and I hope the Lord uses this firey trial and persecution for His sake to further refine and strengthen you as His servant.
God bless and keep you,
Fr. Brett.
You were absolutely right last week. I don’t worry about the haters.
They clearly have no idea about the true message that you’re trying to send.
Some people just don’t know how to listen carefully.
I wonder how many of those complaining merely saw the title of the video and did not listen to his message.
@@mightymadzak That's exactly what I thought too.
@@mightymadzak my guess would probably be most of them
@@mightymadzak I think there must be something wrong about the title don’t you? Why do you think Father used that title? It’s so...clickbait. It got this reaction: tons of love in the comments, and a few “haters” he could address in the next video. It added to the rift in The Body of Christ. We are at each others throats. People in comments applauding this priest while “witnessing” to the “hate” in the pro-life community.
Is this a gift?
Is this a vocation?
And on the up side the good Brother was not ignored
God bless you! You are the wisest and strongest Priest I know! Thank you for everything you do!
You will be in my prayers Father. Keep doing what you're doing.
"We love people, not because of who they are but because of who WE are". Wise words!
This is wrong. We love people because of who god is. Man is fallible.
@@hayatelaguna7599 he meant who we are as Christians.
You failed to offend me.
I heard your message the first time around.
I am sorry that others did not.
I will pray for you and everything else that you do.
God bless.
Father Casey, I listened to your message the first time and understood clearly what you emphasized. I am saddened to listen to your second video on this. Bless you and do not be afraid.
Father Casey, SPOT ON! I didn't see the video but I get where you're coming from. Being Pro-life means loving and caring for ALL life, every stage, every part, from the womb to the tomb. With love and compassion towards others who are carrying around the heaviness of past mistakes. I hear you and the message you are carrying. Cannot be pro-life and hate our enemies.
The saying "spot on" was popular when a ponytail was cool on a man and people were saying, "She's all that". In other words, 20 years ago. Please stop saying it. You sound stupid.
@@jsmilers Serisouly? Can you stoop any lower? You're going to come here and make fun of people's word choices? I'm not the one who sounds stupid, you are. And no, I'm not going to stop saying something because you don't like it.
@@jsmilers spot on babe.
Communists Casey is a wolf in sheep clothing and you fell into the New World Order trap. Maybe you are a communist yourself. Are you a democrat?
I applaud you for making this video. You have stated what I have tried to explain to so many of my Catholic friends. Abortion is not the end-all of being a holy Catholic. There are other issues and moral failures we need to condemn. If you are pro-life is it moral to execute a prisoner? Aren't we playing God and judge here? Are you pro-life if you incite a riot and people die? Are you pro-life if you imprison people who are trying to escape a horrific life in another country? There are so many immoral issues that we need to examine to be a disciple of Jesus and take action against them. Let us all pray for unity in our Church and continue to work together to destroy the evil in our world. May God bless you, Father Casey. Pax et Bonum. Karin, OSF
Two millenia ago, Christ brought a simple and straightforward message to the world that the vast majority of people did not understand or listen to. Can you imagine what his twitter feed would be like if He had done the same now? You are a true disciple, Fr Casey, and we are blessed to have you show the courage to speak top us the Truth of what our Faith involves. Thank you and God Bless.
Two millenials ago, Christ never said "This is not my Body" and later on explained to his followers " No! that was not what I meant!"
Father Casey, I got it the first time, but I respect your coming back on here and explaining it, again. That takes a lot of integrity and courage.
Moments like that, where everyone seems to dislike and misunderstand you, are actually great blessings because they help us grow in humility and to detach from the love of honor and the desire of being loved.
They forget to read the word "THAT. That's why they hate that video.
A disaster? I’m not sure what to think.
Your video made be re-evaluate my life, and how I’ve separated myself with God. I didn’t think anything would ever do that.. anything! It’s quite possibly the most important message I’ve ever received, and it’s hard to understand how some people have seen it so negatively. How could something like that be a disaster? I separated myself from the Church many years ago because of thoughts and behaviors like that, and I guess in a way it made be understand why I left. God bless your Fr. Casey.
Well why in the world would you separate yourself from the Church because of people's behavior?? Isn't it your Church as much as theirs?
If all Christians start understanding love and discipleship the way you talk about it in this video, the world will genuinely be a better place... 🙏🏻
Fr Casey OFM you are a gift to us!! Thank you for your love for Christ and his people. Continue to challenge and affirm us to listen to the Holy Spirit, discern our call and have the courage to live the social demands of the gospel .We need to make God present through our words and deeds.
Fr. Casey, you said it in a nutshell: that you wanted to follow Christ as His disciple and help others do and be the same. You are the quintessential Franciscan priest and all that's supposed to mean. You appreciate creation and challenge us, its stewards. Following Francis' directive, you preach through your actions and speak carefully, thoughtfully and only when necessary, as in these two (and other) videos. I just listened to your video for trinity Sunday. I am a Cradle Catholic who has been uplifted and sustained by your true heartfelt and often challenging Christ-like words, especially during this pandemic and difficult times in our church. Thank you. Pax et Bonum.
Guy gets insulted and ends up apologizing, what's wrong with him?
He's a Christian.
Yet another one who didn't watch the video, you would've know otherwise that he is in no sense apologizing.
@@jadi4579 - I watched it. 10:36
Is he apologising? Explaining.
@@pavaomarusic6051 - My comment was my attempt at a complement.
@@emptyhand777 sorry! I've misunderstood and I'll delete the foolish comment.
I get the point, but rather than accepting you made a blunder here with a very inappropriate click bait title, you are choosing to say the people who didn’t listen to your nuanced message have “proved your point”.
- If you are going to say it was a disaster, at least accept responsibility rather than acknowledging it before shifting it back on other people.
Was it REALLY a blunder? This is not the first time that this channel has posted a provocative video and then changed the title and thumbnail, and I suspect it will not be the last time.
I agree with you 100%. He made an error in judgement, people disagreed with his title and content and then he said that those people proved his point. Seems like a master sophist. The best thing I do could was object, give his video a dislike and unsubscribe.
@@garyamli7676 thanks for writing back to this. Yes fully agreed, I’ve actually only watched a couple of videos on this channel and have left with a similar feeling of unease each time.
When things are so challenging for the church at the moment, it’s important that we don’t mess our message.
We need clarity, consistency and transparent honesty when we get things wrong.
Narrow Path Man with Luke McCann Thank you! I wrote to this priest to say that I felt his message was confusing and lacking in clarity. He put the blame on me. There are priests on TH-cam who speak with love, with truth and with clarity. In good conscience, I cannot continue to watch him or subscribe to him. I will pray for him, though.
Good point. Also, what in the world is his motivation?? It seems to be almost a provocation by a person who does not particularly care for pro-life. Most folks I know who are in the movement are either moms or retirees, who pray the rosary outside abortion clinics, go for coffee and then go home.
Sure, there were isolated cases of violence against clinics in the 1980s (largely perpetrated by extreme Christian fundamentalists), but other than that, not much.
Which brings us full circle as to his motivation.
Still can't think of anything that could have motivated this video. Bizarre.
Father: from Mexico: you rock! All my support
It was no disaster, Father Casey. My respect for you grew by leaps and bounds after your abortion video.
Father Casey, the fundamental issue of your original video was that the title and thumbnail you had chosen was catchy but misleading. The content of your video was good, but the title misled people into thinking that "abortion is not that important". So, you did the right thing by changing the title and the thumbnail to be more appropriate. As for the people who wrote you harshly, they don't know how to control their emotions, and you were given a great opportunity to reach them and coach them. So overall, this whole experience was not a disaster at all, but an opportunity for the body of Christ to correct one another. You did good.
I agreed with the original video's thesis but I think when you veered off into Republican economic policies the video then was off topic and off putting in some ways. But the end does not justify the means if we lose our soul along the way.
Thank you. I was trying to explain my uneasiness with last week's video.
Thank you!! That is exactly what he did. I took issue with what he said in 4:15 to 5:15 of his previous video-when he started to insert his politics into the issue. I will not watch Father Casey’s videos because he still adheres to the substance of his words. Abortion is a preeminent issue.
@@garyamli7676 Same. And he still didn't understand why people criticized him and shifted the blame. Sigh.
That's what I thought as well, the overall message (the one he talks about here) was right of course but he was a bit off on the specifics on the original video 🙊🤷
Totus Tuus Very true! More than 35 percent of people who hit an emoji on his video about abortion. gave him a dislike. Still, he insists that 2.5 thousand (those who disliked ) viewers misunderstood him. I unsubscribed and will never watch another video of his.
I get it. I saw the thumbnail and had to smile. I understood the shock value and decided to wait for this video to come out. Im sorry you had to go through that, its not what I would wish for my worst enemy. I look at it as Christs internal suffering and pray for those souls who no not of what they are doing. I will pray for the Holy Spirit to bless you with fortitude and courage to soldier on!
So let me see if I got this right - people watched only the first minute or less before ranting in the comment section, his feed was filled with trolls, commenters used vulgar language, sent him hate messages, and misinterpreted everything he said...
He has finally achieved acceptance by the social media community. He is now officially one of us. I welcome him to the family!
Matthew 13:13 “The reason I talk to them in parables is that they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding.” Continue educating us on Christianity and Catholicism.
Your good job can't be cancelled out by someone's inability to hold the Gospel up to their lives like a mirror. Keep speaking Truth; we need to hear it.
This is a great way to phrase it!
The problem is that Jesuits indeed do not take this topic that seriously.
You can't even say all Jesuits. Fr Mitch Pacwa and Fr. Robert Spitzer are both Jesuit and fiercely pro-life. In fact, I'd like to know how many Jesuits actually are of the stereotype promulgated by certain members whom I won't name out of charity, and how many are good, decent priests who are faithful to the Church, and I'd guess the latter probably outnumber the former.
It was a Jesuit priest who convinced me to be prolife. He led by example, often prayed outside abortion clinics, and was even arrested for it.
I left my faith many years ago but I absolutely detest people being attacked with death threats for simply speaking their mind.
Peace be with you.
Father Casey, You're a good man. A good servant. God Bless you.
bless you “You can’t be pro-life and hate people”-
I’ve meet sooo many prolifera and they are very scary people Better keep away from many of them

You can’t be Catholic and hate those you disagree with BUT you can strongly disagree with their positions. Love the sinner, oppose the sin and we do that with prayer and our vote.
This is almost as bad of a response he could have made and I am completely unsurprised.
I will say, when I first saw the title, I was jaded, thinking "how can abortion not be that important, it is one of THE most important issues of our time" and almost didn't click on the video. I'm glad I did though, because that thought process was exactly what you were talking about in the video, making everything about God and not just the issues, which has become all too common in our time. Your words, Father, helped me to realize just how unforgiving I have been and I hope, with God's help, that I can be more loving and forgiving in the future. I pray that your words reach these people that didn't actually watch the video as they reached me, and move them as I have been moved.
The biggest problem with Christians is we have forgotten that Jesus focus was on loving your neighbor. I am not catholic but I honestly believe I learn something new about the Bible through most of your videos. you have help open my heart and eyes to loving people no matter what they believe or what sins they are part of. Thank you for being open and being a true Christian.
@Don Espoleto you must love them even then. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to talk sweetly with them.
@Don Espoleto I did not mean that. What I meant was that I would try to correct what is wrong in them because I love them. Does this make sense?
Nuance is not for the common man.
This atheist sees that you're an unwavering good man.
I hope you may turn to Jesus Christ, and become a Christian. God loves you.
@@thelittlefiddle8029 I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.
How do you fight a crime without calling out the criminals?

As someone outside of the Christian community, and a person who doesn’t necessarily agree with everything posited on this channel, thank you for sharing your message in a constructive way from a place of love and guidance. I have often felt threatened by how I’ve experienced judgement and hate from religious people, but your calm and measured teaching creates a space that feels safe for me to learn and grow to understand a perspective that I do not share.
I’m sorry for the negative response the video generated and that it revealed a dark side to some people in your community. You’ve handled the situation with grace and humility and I’m in awe of your unwavering resolve. I don’t know if my respect is worth all that much to you, but you absolutely have it.
Take care, Fr Casey!!
Oddly, your last line was very much center of a discussion I had on Sunday. Priests (and rabbis, imams and other leaders) can have a very lonely and depressing life, always hearing of problems, always seeing that their preaching and ministry very often goes unheeded. Your message of respect is one of the great antidotes for that potential depression. Your respect is worth a very great deal.
You are absolutely SPOT ON! As Christians in this present age, we all need to grapple a bit with how we are allowing hatred to dominate how we respond to things. We've lost sight of how Christ dealt with difficult situations. Love our enemies is the command Christ gave us, but when we turn fellow Christians into our enemies, we REALLY have a problem. May we all drop to our knees and repent.
So sorry you have been treated very badly, I watched one of your lent videos and enjoyed it and found it very helpful. Didn’t see the video you are discussing but can’t believe people were mean and vulgar especially to a priest. I’m praying for peace, kindness, and the human race not be so
angry and filled with malice. Keep preaching Father you are very sincere!
As Christians we should not forget that the enemy, (the devil) can use even a good course like being pro - life to destroy us and pull us away from the path of righteousness. Let's remain focused and not lose our souls. Let's hate the sin and not the sinner as Fr Casey is saying. Let's act like Christians.
We should not hate
@@jackstefxxx hate only what is evil
Fr. Casey-
As you know, I am not a Roman Catholic. God in all of His infinite wisdom led me to
The Episcopal Church. As a deeply committed Christian, I am truly saddened by the comments I saw posted on your previous video. In my opinion, those comments were not the “fruit” that Jesus would have expected of people who believe in his example, his words and his ministry.
Your vocation is a heavy one - teaching discipleship! We know that Jesus had his disciples with him non-stop for three years and at the end of those three years they were still infants in their development as Christian disciples. Trying to make disciples through a series of brief (wonderful) videos is an arduous task. We live in a time where people expect to get their news and information in under a minute, and after that minute, many believe they are now experts on a particular topic. Your chosen task is to make disciples from people like that.
I have studied theology for over 40 years now. I learned Greek and Hebrew. I studied the Scriptures in both languages. I have been taught by theologians (Jewish, Protestant and Catholic). I was taught biomedical ethics during my time at The Catholic University of America. Now some 40 years later, I believe that I have only scraped the tip of the iceberg in becoming a true disciple of Christ.
Experiencing the death of my own teenage son some ten years ago, my understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Christ and to believe in loving and caring God has changed dramatically. Jesus never promised us that the life he called us to would be easy. This is one of those moments for you, perhaps.
You took on an extremely difficult topic (abortion) and you used it to talk to us about discipleship and our life in Christ! That is extraordinary! You are extraordinary! I know you are not looking for accolades or applause, but you have my admiration and my deepest respect as a Christian and as an “Anglican Observer.” Do not lose hope. Do not worry about those that cannot hear you over the noise of their own egos, anger and pride. God often speaks to us in stillness. God speaks to me from the mouth of a quiet, poor and lowly Franciscan father. That is extraordinary! You are extraordinary!
Peace be with you my brother! Your friend in Christ, Tim!

As if in discipleship, fight against abortion is not one of them. Right on, Fr Casey, you're leading the way!
Fr. Casey, you are so blessed, I hope you realize that. You're what we need in today's world, in the era where division sadly exist more within than outside the church. Your message is what we all need to hear and one that I, a cradle Catholic very much appreciate. Your persecution by fellow Catholics whose hearts are "hardened", in a way gives you priveleged access in partaking directly in the persecution Jesus had endured from His own relatives and people (the so-called learned scholars of the law - the Pharisees and Saducees, and Israel as a nation as a whole). I will say though that you cannot expect one video to change the hearts of people. It took God so many centuries to prepare us to be ready to worship Him and though we may gain slightly more understanding of how we are to do so, we still do not get the full picture. Which is why God is still raising prophets and vicars today to remind us of what staying true to His covenant looks like (and I'm so thankful God hasn't given up on us after all this time despite how erring we have been). We humans can be so obstinate and stubborn in our ways, that we refuse to let go of what we are used to even if that which we are used to is harmful. And the reaction to your admonishment speaks to this in volumes. Don't be discouraged Fr. Casey, you may not know me but know that I am praying for you and I'm sure many others are. May God continue to bless you in your ministry and sustain you in this period of persecution. God bless!
Amen friend be bold, be brave, be catholic
Thank you for this. While I’m pro-life I’m a counselor and hear from all people about their situations and beliefs. We can’t forget that most of the world is not prolife and probably not intentionally murdering. The political sphere about it is so heated and hateful it I believe it may be causing more extreme pro choice laws. I’m to the point of thinking compromise will save more lives and prevent late term abortions from becoming the norm. I agree we should approach those who disagree with love. Of course. 🙏🏼❤️
