"The Lord has already won the victory. We fight not TO victory but FROM victory." --Fr. Louis. Wow.
That’s the Holy Spirit in action. Fr. Louis is truly amazing
@@alexsanchez8341 best quote ever! ✝️
I know. In theory we should already know it, but when it's said so concisely is like 😮

I’m 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Father Louis was one of the priests at my church in Manhattan, he was incredible.
He lit up the church. The man has so much charisma.
I'm also fron Haiti so it made so proud ❤.
Bishop Barron is the reason I stopped being a lukewarm Methodist at best to join the Catholic Church.
Ehre sei Gott!
Just don't leave Jesus out of your life. He is the only ONE that matters.
Favorite guest ever! Drastically love this Holy Priest!
Bring back the manly, cigar smoking, beer drinking “come Holy Spirit” and “Praise the Lord” every five minutes priests like this one!! God bless this saintly man! His trust in God is SO inspiring
i saw the beer in his hand and said “woah” until I looked into it and realized that in catholicism (correct me if i’m wrong) beer drinking without intoxication is technically allowed?
@@tonybalongnaThat's correct; There's even a traditional beer blessing. I have no desire to drink alcohol but beer in itself is not evil. It's important to note that Jesus began his public ministry by turning water into wine at the wedding of Cana, after all
Amen!
This was great, I'm on my way to Catholicism :)
Welcome! -Fr. Louis from the show.
"I wasn't successful at not being myself "......pure gold. Thanks father❤
"Beauty is always attractive, but beauty combined with virtue is irresistible." -Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
I love whenever Fr. Louis is on! 🇭🇹
I have never seen him before but I wish all priests in America were like him
🇭🇹
I had no idea there was another interview! Just found it. Thank you!
These are great topics. Love the monologue about the power of the African church. To this day they remain a powerhouse witness of Christ's love. God bless the African Church in their persecution.
Tbf his examples were almost exclusively north African.
@@chase6579 Does it matter? The African Catholic Church is incredible! Nigeria?! Amazing
@@bluecomb5376yes, and we must pray for the Nigerian Christians! The Muslim fighters slaughtered over a hundred Christians just because of their religion.
Mass attendance in Nigeria among Catholics is like 96%
Bless them for sending us their fathers as well. My parish priest is a Nigerian man, and he is the best priest! So passionate for the faith, and so tender and loving
We had the honor of having the father with us at our church down here in Miami for a brief period and I must say it was a privilege. He is wonderful and my mother and I often speak of him so seeing him on your show has truly made my heart smile. God Bless
@ St Augustine right?
yessirrr his homilies were fire and he pranked me multiple times
is this a fellow Ucatholic brother i see?👀👀
Oh my goodness. That’s why I remember him! I go there on occasion
"In our poverty, we can love and give to others." I wrote that down in my prayer journal.
Fathers prayer in the end was so powerful and beautiful. May God him and the Catholic Church abundantly.
May the Lord bless him!
You left out the word “bless”… …thought you might appreciate knowing that… 😅🙏🏼
I see you're imitating christ in making us partakers in your work
My bad🤭
@@maluillwe are made in the image of God. What better way to honor Him than to partake in what we see in God.
People should read about the life of Blessed Benedict Daswa! From Limpopo, South Africa. 1990 Martyr and patron of teachers, and against witchcraft and occult practices. Pray for us!
That’s awesome!! I’ll have to ask Bl Benedict to pray for a friend who was in OCIA w her husband but couldn’t convert. She comes from a family that practiced voodoo and is an amazing Christian now.
@@melissap5649 Yes! I think thats a splendid idea. Blessed Benedict, pray for us!
Amazing! I'm a South African Catholic and I'd love to read about saints from my country. Something about that is inspiring ❤
@@louannebvb SO cool!
I’m glad that Fr. Louis is dedicated to Haiti because his people really need him. He did a good job of celebrating them despite all the difficulties.
The only martyrs that I personally know were two Protestant missionary friends of mine, and they were missionaries to Haiti. They were just killed in May. They were good kids, and I can't imagine a higher honor than the one bestowed upon them.
I'm leaving this comment about 2 minutes into the video, and I'm going to look really stupid now if they get mentioned in the video and I left this comment instead of saying, "Yeah, I knew those kids!"
Edit: Literally 5 minutes later. Wow, I am an idiot. The kids were named Davy and Natalie, and the local man's name was Jude.
Yes they are in heaven
I would listen to Fr. Louis read a phone book.
This priest is phenomenal!
As someone in a red state, it is Extremely peaceful! When I don’t watch the news, I wouldn’t even know what was going on because my lived experience is really joyful with the world around me. I don’t think we’re as divided as the media would like us to believe.
Thank you Father Louis. Prayers for you wherever you may go and for our catholic brothers and sisters in Haiti. Peace of Christ to you from South Florida.
Broke my heart the story about the little girl saving the piece of meat for her little sister.
God bless this priest for what he has to go through
I love that Matt mentions custody of the eyes. It’s an unknown virtue that should be talked about more and taught to young men. I know a man is spiritually strong when they maintain custody of the eyes. Women notice.
My gosh! That line at 1:10:30 is just awesome. "My jurisdiction will become your cemetery..." 🤯 That's the kind of law enforcement that gang ridden communities need!
I wasn't sure about watching this one, but I'm glad I did. Great episode! I love this priest.
I actually went back to seeing the screen. Yep. Carnivore, Beer tasting & demon talk. This may now be my favorite channel.
What a based priest!!!
Just wait, saying such a thing will be tragically sinful in a Pints episode 6 months from now.
@@laurants What? Explain.
@@peterpoulos6553 I am just being cynical. It's common for Matt to quip, "I love this and I hate myself for it." It seems that what necessitates an apology and a caveat includes both enjoying any substance or language. So 6 months from now a guest will arrive that says, "The word based is actually rooted in pride..."
@@laurants I understand where you are coming from. I think its good to hear from a variety of viewpoints but I can acknowledge a lot of weird perspectives religious zealots. I have heard people say stuff like 'dancing is inherently sinful' or quote a saint or pope out of context. I think that some people of either bad character or delusion can have issues with normal language. It could be due to insecurity, malice, or ignorance.
@@peterpoulos6553 Yes, I am tired though of the back and forth contradictions of enjoying life and hating the enjoyment of it. St. John of the Cross's "I am nothing" seems absolutely depressing on its face, but it is a logical conclusion to perfect humility since we are nothing without God. This doesn't equate to hating our own joy and happiness. Talk about being a mood killer.
What a beautiful person. This is a Father that serves the Truth!
Through our Lord, our Blessed Mother, all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, bless and protect this servant of God, Father Louis Merosne. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen, Amen, Amen. ❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Im living for this. Saint Padre pio of Pietrelcina has entered the chat lol!
What a very beautiful explanation of celibacy @ 2:18:27! Yes the calling to sanctity comes first for all Christians. It is precisely the lack of understanding of the universal calling to sanctity that makes people misunderstand the calling to marriage and celibacy.
Thank you Matt Fradd
This episode has so many gems ! God bless you both !
Oh wait I thought we were hanging out and chillin , I didn’t know we were gonna talk about DEMONS!
😂
It's always demons :)
I was on autoplay. I thought it was a chill talk as well 😂
That we can talk about demons casually in conversation means we are chill 😎
It's in the title!
This priest have a certain descriptive type of personality in his speech that reminds me of the way PBD speak in his podcasts. He’s very influential. Kudos to Matt and father Louis.
The humility of this conversation is beautiful ♥ Such a helpful perspective of Pope Francis!
Prayers for all those whom experienced martyrdom and died for Christ, like he sacrificed Himself for us.
🙏
What an inspiring interview! So much honesty and truth😇✝
Glad Matt brought up Psalm 3:7. I added it as part of my livery on my car in Latin. Let the haters hate, the detractors detract but God is King and Lord of all, and the plans of man will falter.
Fr Louis Merosne isn't the hero/priest we deserve, but the hero/priest we need. Good bless him and all the other priests serving our Lord!
I happen to be drinking bacardi rum while listening. Does this give me cool points? This is a great interview so far, not all the way through. Fr Louis seems awesome.
Incredible and beautiful! May God bless and protect this priest and all the innocent people in Haiti who are suffering at the hands of those evil people. ❤🙏🏼✝️
The first episode with Fr Louis was fantastic and this was a tremendous sequel. Fr Louis the closing statement you described so well how I feel about being Catholic, thankful can't begin to describe how I feel to be Catholic.
You guys are both amazing. Thanks for this smart discussion.
Really appreciated how this Priest articulated so much of the Soul ❤️🔥 Thank you for this
My favorite episode so far, Matt and Fr Louis. God bless you both.
This priest lives a Christly life better than most men. It makes me rejoice in my heart to know that he will receive his reward in the kingdom of heaven.
“I really like her.” I want a husband who says this about me after years of being married and lots of hard times.
Thank you 2:37:02 for saying this Matt. You are articulating exactly what The Lord calls me to guard my lips and guard my eyes from judgement of others exactly this! I try to pray every day Psalm 141 for this reason! Such a beautiful conversation God bless Fr Merosne that celibacy piece I wish all priests hear this and married couples! Mind blown !!
Absolutely phenomenal. Thousand thanks for your work and testimony both of you! from El Paso, Texas.
🙏🏾
Ok. Fr. Louis is awesome! 👏🏼 I need to hear more from him. I absolutely love his passion and personality!
wait WHAT!? Fr Louise was a temporary chaplain at University of Miami. I have done confession with that man and i never knew that he knew my favorite Male Influencer
I remember reading a book about voodoo when I was a kid ( I wasn’t even aware of what I was reading until later) a kid won a potato chip contest and used the money to buy voodoo things to make a doll to beat up his school bully. Looks back I’m shocked my mom didn’t screen that at the library she was all on top of that no Harry Potter even. I hope we get more books like Narnia soon
Have you read LOTR? :)
My soul is on fire 🔥😃 one of my favorite videos ❤️ exactly what I need it 🎉 I love how Fr. Louis talks about Pope Francis 🌻
What a heart, what a man.
"people are informed by tiktok, they are not informed by history" BINGO.
And that includes this carnivore nonsense
@@bethmcmullan7686 I think people tend to lose weight and have improvements in blood work when they do it so
@@bethmcmullan7686tiktok promotes carnivore?
Really enjoyed listening to Fr. Louis!
Fr.Louis is so amazing,I could listen to his story all day long & thank for having him on this show 😇🙏👍❤❤❤
Thank you for pointing out the great Eastern Orthodox Saints of the early Church out of the New Testament and ongoing.
Maybe the Catholic Church should change the names to clarify. Just an idea. Praying for Haiti.
They have slowly started to refer to the conference as the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Haiti.
@pawollatounenmoun Sad that people donʼt know that the adjective of bishop is episcopal
Praise the Lord, I got excited when Fr. Louis mentioned a great firm by a Catholic entrepreneur for integral human development working with Catholic Church.
God I praise you and give you thanks even in this comment for this news I just hear.
Praying for those they talked about-AMEN 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
St Óscar Romero, pray for us, pray for Haiti 🙏🏼
So good. One of my favorite episodes.
Subjugate obviously means to conquer and to then rule. It definitely doesn't mean to enslave, though that could happen concurrently. Subjugation, in this instance would be to wrest the moors from Turkish rule. It doesn't even necessarily mean to force them to convert.
A king has subjects and subjugation is the transferring from one king to another. They are made peasants but they already are peasants and peasants are not slaves.
Such a knowlegeable priest.
He even comes with sound effects
Love this priest!! His passion for Christ. ✝️
I’m so happy to see this! Fr Louis, it would be so wonderful for you to visit! It’s been so long! God bless you!
Just...WoW!
May God protect and bless this holy priest, Fr. Louis.
Never heard Fathers rebuttal to the "bad white European Christian roots" argument till now: early church fathers are of African descent, and they had tremendous influence on the culture of the church
Please have father on again. This was great
The celibacy part is the best!
I just love the way you describe and explain it so well in a very practical and clear way!!!
About European catholicism compared to American catholicism: as a European I know that there are a lot of movements where people find home and guidance. But the strength of Americans or just English speaking cultures is somehow the story telling, and wording. At least in my observation. I not only like to listen to English catholic content but I also prefer to read English literature and watch English movies. So I gues it has something to do with language, culture and heritage. and the Internet and tech serve to propel these contents to a worldwide level
What a beautiful Godly priest, his joy is the most lovely thing about this conversation. ❤
Thank you for your ministry at the Franciscan adult conference. Your lecture and your leading of the Eucharistic Procession meant so me.
Really loved this conversation, Glory to Jesus Christ ✝️
OH MAN. I only caught part of this but how wonderful
Thanks for sharing about the strength and faith of the Hatian people.😊
At 2:39, Father talks about looking at others with REVERENCE. Frank Sheed has a great quote in Society and Sanity....."That which we do not revere, we will profane."
May God help me (and all of us) to revere the Lord and my fellow man, AND myself.
MATT, have you never heard of beef carpaccio?!? It's one of the most delicious dishes I've ever had.
as a long time viewer of Pints, its amazing to see how matt has journeyed and matured in his faith.
Very good listen. This priest is brilliant!
Matt’s Episcopal comments had me rolling. I’m digging the Catholic vigilante justice crew idea. Haha
The beer of the Benedictines of Norcia Norcina made me realize I too love beer! However, due to gluten, beer does not love me back!
Thank you guys for this video!! This show is amazing! Helps pass the time at work
Insightful episode! 🙏🏻
Thank you, Matt, for the humility you displayed in this episode. Thank you for being vulnerable and admitting to attitudes and deeds that the Lord is calling you to repent of. It's both reassuring and inspiring. God bless you
Father Louis is a truly wonderful priest and this was a great conversation. But… it’s not weird to eat raw meat. Haven’t they heard of tartare or carpaccio?…🥩
Gored gored is one of my favorites meals!
Whew! Made a debt in cleaning up basement storage while listening to the last hour or so! Excellent discussion to listen to while clearing out stuff. I should go back and replay the whole thing and get back downstairs.
That’s how I get things done too! Gotta love PWA! ❤
I loved this interview! Thank you for sharing!
Great conversation! I went to Fr. Louis’ talk at the Power and Purpose conference. It was good. He also processed with the Eucharistic and the heavy looking Monstrance during Holy Hour for what seemed like way longer than an hour. Tough priest
God bless him
Just letting you know that the chapters are a bit messed up. Great video, so glad I got to hear from this Father!
Very good interview Fr. Louis is awesome! I would like to offer a bit of historical context for the Pope Nicholas part to hopefully help with the confusion. In the period of Christendom subjugation had a different connotation than it had now. Since the concept of nationalism didn't come about until the 19th century there was no concept of citizenship. So for example you wouldn't consider yourself a citizen of Spain you would instead be a subject of His Majesty King Ferdinand III. If you were a subject of a king it just meant that you were under his protection and in return you would serve your king. So when people like Pope Nicholas or Christopher Columbus refer to subjugation they are wanting to bring them into a Christian "nation". They saw these Africans, Saracens, Native Americans, etc. as equals to the people in Europe. They saw them as a people created in God's own image that were worthy of being subjects (or citizens to use a modern comparison) of a Christian king.
That sounds very good. Thank you. Do you have any resources you’d recommend concerning that issue, especially dealing with the relationship between Nicholas’s decree and the slave trade that ensued?
This was awesome. Really enjoyed hanging with you guys. God bless.
Beef tartar is awesome! I see no issues with eating raw beef as long as its high quality. Add a little see salt and high quality olive oil and its good to go!
earthy beer... gross, also Matt, I'm praying for your wife's healing. God bless you & your family. Thank you for this channel.
Thing I am trying currently when waiting on the busy street is to instead of fighting my gaze and being on defense with beautiful woman I try to pay attention to people, which are elderly or not that pretty and say to the Lord: please Lord bless those on which my eyes look. And somehow I start to see so much more depth in the persons Ive never seen before. Thank You my lord!
I went through this an live my life that way, people would call me crazy. I would thank them an say thank them that work hard at it.
Great conversation- thanks, guys
