@rabbitsrevenge1101 moral ground. Disgusting sin is celebrated as though it is beautiful in the streets for an entire month. Radical trans hate groups get public awards. Laws are being passed that take away parents control of their children and hand those parental rights to the state and unelected officials in the public school system. The list goes on.

We already miss you here in Switzerland 🇨🇭! But the States seems to need you as well. The Church needs you, reverend father. Hopefully one day a cardinal!
As someone who falls into that latter category, I appreciate your words on that. It is also a big help to me who has felt pressure not from God but from the world to air out everything which I feel often does far more harm than good. There is a very small amount of people who know of my particular struggles with some of these things and even fewer who know of my even deeper struggles. And I often feel the world pressures me to feel guilty about not being “out and proud” as it were, but I try not to be. I just want to live life as a Catholic and grow in faith and virtue and became gradually more sanctified and we don’t need to have all our struggles plastered on our forehead in order to address them. Some struggles and crosses are meant to be private and there’s nothing wrong with that so long as we are striving in a Catholic manner and working to grow in virtue and eliminate sin from our lives.
You're very articulate. God bless you for your struggles with temptation. I agree that there are some things that should only be shared with one's Confessor in Confession. Please don't feel guilty about not wanting to "come out." God bless you.
Great video father. I would say; however, I believe we are reaching a point now where everyone is being forced to take a stance and weathering the storm is becoming less of an option. Pride is seeping into every avenue of our lives and we are being forced to contend with it on a daily basis within our families and even parishes. Thoughts?
Meh, just respond with proper national pride as #stolzmonat did. The feeling of being a part of a nation, as the tribes did to Israel, while bearing our crosses. :)
@@annmcerlean5017 Leviticus 18:22 is what God told Israel through Moses. So we already know there is something wrong with LGBTQ which is why they have formed an anti-religion that tries to mimic real religion even if they act as if they are areligious (you can be aspiritual, but religion is a communal thing). ... I say that in Christ, it is up to every one of the LGBTQ people (whether they identify as a part of that "community" or not) to struggle with God regarding what Leviticus 18:22 delineates as a sin. Most things are not "between God and me" besides that we are loving and trying to remind people not to be particular ways. However, there are always exceptions (so as to prove the rule) and, thus, that truly would be "between God and me". I can see LGBTQ being a symptom of a population limit being hit, mathematically and scientifically. The cause of LGBTQ would probably be poor Christian theology: God says to be fruitful and multiply; yet, we are making it easier to question "why?" instead of suffering through a struggle with God for our own normal passions so as to have good theology to center our society onto Christ/God. ... As such, I see LGBTQ people as probably being in line with God and, yet, the symptom of something clearly bad (because Leviticus 18:22 calls LGBTQ an abomination) is something that can't be addressed except by expounding Christ.
How far does patience go? Seeing my grandchildren indoctrinated to believe SSA is okay? Transgenderism? No sin? I'll do me and ypu do you? It's time to stop the dialogue and stop being so complacent. This is a war and the victims are children.

Really something has changed after the pandemic, it got a new impetus. The movement, the politics. I agree, the case by case isn't enough. I see people often focus on issues in a separated way, as in homosexuality, transgender etc. But it misses the bigger picture. Namely, the issue of an enormous relaxation of sexual norms and limitations. Somehow, in the current secular culture, the sexual relations, from being a cultural taboo, something that is to remain veiled and guarded by various regulations (such as permissible only within marriage), became not only 'anything goes,' but also something to be openly and publicly displayed, etc. And I agree, identity politics plays a role here as well. So that's how now homosexuality or transgender issues can now dominate the public discourse. But it's only a symptom of a wider problem. Because the problem isn't only about the deviations (as in against the natural law), but about the sexual immorality in general. As as society, we've somewhat lost a sense of shame and of privacy of a sexual sphere. So I think the main 'frontier' to 'fight' against it, is sexual morality and purity. It's about showing the beauty of purity, especially in the form of virginity and celibacy, as well as the beauty of a rightfully ordered family life. (and should go without saying: no adultery, no fornication, no pornography, etc.) Of course, to do that, one needs to incorporate that into their own life first, an example and integrity are most effective. But also to remind others, to re-set the norms and the boundaries of sexuality and privacy. As Catholics we might particularly remember, that we are the temples of the Holy Spirit and sons and daughters of God, and to remind others that that it is who they are as well!

Father, you and Matt have helped me immensley as a newly converted Catholic in my early 40s. I was exp0sed to p0rn early into puberty and it has done so much damage and I was able to delude myself for so long into thinking it was normal. I'm pushing to remain celebate for however long it takes till I finally starve the sat@n out of my sexu@Iity. I don't know what Catholics did before channels like yours because the leaders at my church avoid discussing these sorts of topics all together. Thank your for being a light in the world. Praise be to God.
Too bad I had no idea you were in switzerland. I would have loved to get to know you. If you ever come back let us know 🙏 Keep up the good work I‘m a big fan of pintswithaquinas and Godsplaining!
I said the Chaplet of the Sacred Heart daily during June, and the Litany of the Sacred Heart on June Fridays. In the other 11 months I say these prayers on the First Fridays.
One of the factors as to why people don't "speak up" that I never see discussed is that these issues seem to be a bigger deal on Twitter, TH-cam, and the media. A lot of companies put a rainbow up and then don't do anything else so employees aren't really impacted. I know a ton of people who work for local companies that don't experience anything related to pride. Schools are out in the Midwest so nothing going at achool. In fact, conservative channels were the ones pushing all this stuff onto my feed this past month. This isn't to say that it's not concerning or we should do nothing, but more to say that a lot of people aren't affected by it in their day to day lives.
Great insight. I definitely agree that "pride" can run for a long time, but will inevitably end in typical human cycle. Logic and truth will always see through until the end. Fantastic beard.
I would appreciate some ideas on how to approach this issue when the government of the day actually outlaws the Christian approach and you can even be ‘cancelled’ from economic and social life for speaking against it when you are confronted by it. My husband and I are lay members of the Church.
You covered it, Father. Following Christ, and his Gospel is a bit of a dance in relation to this (LGBT) deal isn’t it? I like how you talked about the greater relevance of the individual moral stance in relation to the corporate, and highlighting the importance of always highlighting the ‘truth!’ ✌️❤️🙏
How do you reply to a casual acquaintance proudly showing you his wedding ring his "husband" gave him at their wedding last weekend? Actually happened to me. Still not sure I handled it right.
There is a unity between an individual's conscience and the objective moral order just as there is between our soul and or body. Attempts to deny this are the source of modern social upheaval.
Thank you for your videos Father, I have 8 kids from 21-2, and I find them invaluable. I am training to become a therapist and I've been grappling with the problem of fatherlessness and a crisis among men more broadly. Could you do a video on the passage from Sirach...The wickedness of a man is better than the goodness of a woman? There's some research that I came across that shows a "poor" father in the home has better outcomes for kids than an absent father. I wondered if it's related in a way to this passage. Even a good mother is no substitute for a role that should only be occupied by a father, however lacking? God bless you we have a list of priests we pray for and we've added you to the list.
I do t know Father, but i think it’s going to get worse. It’s obvious, it started with certain laws and movements and this is where we are now. I needed to hear this. Idk what to do. It’s getting to the point I do not want to buy anything anywhere! Perhaps as is this is part of our journey?!
My dear Rev. Pine. I’ve never been more confused after listening to your attempt to pontificate on the “pride” issue. Weathering the storm?? Are you endeavoring to say we need to wait out people who are gay to change their sexuality? What about people who are NOT struggling with same sex attraction? Where do they fit in within the church? I have to admit, respectfully I found myself utterly perplexed by your attempt to clarify this issue. I believe Pope Francis said it best…”Who am I to judge?”
This is a great take! I've thought about how the liberals have this "positive" edge towards the sin they are peddling. We Christians righteously disagree with them in conversation and that just fuels their virtue signaling even further. In fact liberals leave the conversation feeling superior because "well I'm not close minded like that guy." I'll have to think about how to one up their positivity by boasting of our God through Jesus Christ. Which I think we had generations ago, but that positivity was stamped out of us Christians by sinful tyrants. Rather purposefully stamped out, may I add, because their demons cannot stand us exhalting before our God.
I am at a loss about how to respond more often while so many people seem apt to be taking offense easier than ever before. Like for example when maybe being accused of practising cultural misappropriation. Or when more than one person becomes offended only because I wore my Metis sash to church on an October 31 Sunday one year where all the other young people were wearing ethinc costumes too at that small store front in a strip mall Evangelical church at the time. Right away I knew there was going to be trouble when another female going to church there pointed out to me only at first that wearing red lipstick was not a good idea. While the mother of both pastors who drove me there had the grace to remain welcoming me a sinner to by only remarking that my old wool winter coat which my mom gave me after buying it at a large multi-family garage sale in St. Albert Canada looked like something a person would wear while playing a role in a Charles Dickens movie while of course not being one of the poor orphans instead after taking my coat off to hang it up in the public space closet same as everybody else there too. It seems like being different at all in any way shape or form makes some people feel contentious. I want to contend with how some people try to claim that there is a pressing need to keep on creating a longer and longer with more characters word to describe sexual orientation now with a plus sign for the last character. Instead of the person getting to wear priestly robles too. I prefer isntead only to feel grateful that I don't have to join the marines at around age 33 or so too or become a Roman Catholic female priest later too. While continuing to remain female since I was conceived and while becoming wife and mother more than once too.
First, we need to define Pride. While yes, aberosexuality has taken over Pride, the actual mortal sin of pride is something I think quite different. I would now define pride as "Telling God who He is to be allowed to Exist in Your mind" instead of "Letting God tell you who You Are to Be Your Best Self".
Christianity is the only religion in the world where God the Son became one of us in every way except sin and lived amongst us physically for 33 years. That's humility!
I'm in the theatre where I'm often the only Christian and/or Catholic. It's always such a delicate...dance. (They know I dash out from rehearsal for Mass and is so sweet when another cast member secretly puts a coin in my hand as they ask me to light a candle for them.)

This isn't to say that it's not concerning or we should do nothing, but more to say that a lot of people aren't affected by it in their day to day lives.
Great insight. I definitely agree that "pride" can run for a long time, but will inevitably end in typical human cycle. Logic and truth will always see through until the end.
Fantastic beard.
We can’t miss that “pride” is one of the deadly sins.
So true!
I suffer from same sex attraction, thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for this talk. It was very helpful to me.
how do i respond to pride? with humility.
With truth
Please keep orienting us on this topic, our local parishes are certainly not!
You look very Handsome with a beard Father !
More Dominicans with beards THANK YOU FATHER
I would appreciate some ideas on how to approach this issue when the government of the day actually outlaws the Christian approach and you can even be ‘cancelled’ from economic and social life for speaking against it when you are confronted by it. My husband and I are lay members of the Church.
take responsibility for your actions?
You covered it, Father. Following Christ, and his Gospel is a bit of a dance in relation to this (LGBT) deal isn’t it? I like how you talked about the greater relevance of the individual moral stance in relation to the corporate, and highlighting the importance of always highlighting the ‘truth!’ ✌️❤️🙏
That than which no greater beard can be conceived
LMAO WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW DID IT TAKE SO SHORT FOR FATHER GEGORY TO GROW A BEARD
Videos are filmed way in advance
Great video!!! Bravo!
God gave Father Pine the best beard ever.
Thank you Father - and keep the beard! God bless you
For or against, I don't care what the video is saying, I get rid of all rainbows from my feed.

How do you reply to a casual acquaintance proudly showing you his wedding ring his "husband" gave him at their wedding last weekend?
Actually happened to me. Still not sure I handled it right.
Now that is a killer beard!
Chad Fr. Gregory Pine
bruh, the chad fr pine
There is a unity between an individual's conscience and the objective moral order just as there is between our soul and or body. Attempts to deny this are the source of modern social upheaval.
Love the beard, Father ❤
Great video Father, welcome home. Love the beard
Thank you for your videos Father, I have 8 kids from 21-2, and I find them invaluable. I am training to become a therapist and I've been grappling with the problem of fatherlessness and a crisis among men more broadly. Could you do a video on the passage from Sirach...The wickedness of a man is better than the goodness of a woman? There's some research that I came across that shows a "poor" father in the home has better outcomes for kids than an absent father. I wondered if it's related in a way to this passage. Even a good mother is no substitute for a role that should only be occupied by a father, however lacking? God bless you we have a list of priests we pray for and we've added you to the list.
PRIDE was the main sin that caused satan’s fall
AS JONATHAN MORRIS ON FOX - HE BAPTIZED ME BEFORE MARRYING IN THE CATHEDRAL IN 2019
Without the beard:👶
With the beard:🧔
When did it become an entire month for goodness sake?
Father Gregory be looking like Saint Dominic.
I do t know Father, but i think it’s going to get worse. It’s obvious, it started with certain laws and movements and this is where we are now. I needed to hear this. Idk what to do. It’s getting to the point I do not want to buy anything anywhere! Perhaps as is this is part of our journey?!
That was a beautiful prayer. Anyone know the name of the prayer at 1:21 ?
It is a beautiful prayer. Grant Me Grace a prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas
I thought someone edited the bottom half to Fr. Pine's face to look like giga-chad. lol
Beard looks good!
I really like what you are saying and not saying here. 😊
My dear Rev. Pine. I’ve never been more confused after listening to your attempt to pontificate on the “pride” issue. Weathering the storm?? Are you endeavoring to say we need to wait out people who are gay to change their sexuality? What about people who are NOT struggling with same sex attraction? Where do they fit in within the church? I have to admit, respectfully I found myself utterly perplexed by your attempt to clarify this issue. I believe Pope Francis said it best…”Who am I to judge?”
We don't need Christian pacifists, we need warriors... Period, full stop..
This is a great take! I've thought about how the liberals have this "positive" edge towards the sin they are peddling. We Christians righteously disagree with them in conversation and that just fuels their virtue signaling even further. In fact liberals leave the conversation feeling superior because "well I'm not close minded like that guy."
I'll have to think about how to one up their positivity by boasting of our God through Jesus Christ. Which I think we had generations ago, but that positivity was stamped out of us Christians by sinful tyrants. Rather purposefully stamped out, may I add, because their demons cannot stand us exhalting before our God.
One can say the truth of God very lovingly and get a super victim, negative reaction if they don't think it's a sin and have no intention of changing.
Don't forget to talk about your beard in your life-update video
I am at a loss about how to respond more often while so many people seem apt to be taking offense easier than ever before. Like for example when maybe being accused of practising cultural misappropriation. Or when more than one person becomes offended only because I wore my Metis sash to church on an October 31 Sunday one year where all the other young people were wearing ethinc costumes too at that small store front in a strip mall Evangelical church at the time. Right away I knew there was going to be trouble when another female going to church there pointed out to me only at first that wearing red lipstick was not a good idea. While the mother of both pastors who drove me there had the grace to remain welcoming me a sinner to by only remarking that my old wool winter coat which my mom gave me after buying it at a large multi-family garage sale in St. Albert Canada looked like something a person would wear while playing a role in a Charles Dickens movie while of course not being one of the poor orphans instead after taking my coat off to hang it up in the public space closet same as everybody else there too. It seems like being different at all in any way shape or form makes some people feel contentious. I want to contend with how some people try to claim that there is a pressing need to keep on creating a longer and longer with more characters word to describe sexual orientation now with a plus sign for the last character. Instead of the person getting to wear priestly robles too. I prefer isntead only to feel grateful that I don't have to join the marines at around age 33 or so too or become a Roman Catholic female priest later too. While continuing to remain female since I was conceived and while becoming wife and mother more than once too.
I am surprised people are not talking about the beard.
First, we need to define Pride. While yes, aberosexuality has taken over Pride, the actual mortal sin of pride is something I think quite different.
I would now define pride as "Telling God who He is to be allowed to Exist in Your mind" instead of "Letting God tell you who You Are to Be Your Best Self".
Christianity is the only religion in the world where God the Son became one of us in every way except sin and lived amongst us physically for 33 years. That's humility!

The beard is pure clickbait gold.
The beard looks good
How about we address waisting our Catholic time with hyper sensitive misogyny?
Omg nearly threw up seeing all those logos in the thumbnail. Thanks!
Dig the beard, bro. Suits you well.
