Cafeteria Catholics & Chastity

- There are many “cafeteria Catholics” in the Church today. They choose to believe or to reject Divine Revelation as one would choose or reject items at a buffet. They can often be identified by the doctrines they deny, the morals they reject, and the material they read. However, to have the theological virtue of Faith means to accept ALL that God reveals, - the entirety of the Catholic Faith -, based on His authority. One particular infallible teaching which many today find hard to accept, even amidst faithful Catholics, is the objective superiority of the celibate clerical life (and consecrated virginity) over married life. Great purity and holiness is needed to solve the problem of worldly corruption. Consecrated celibates are destined and expected to attain the highest perfection and thus help others. For more please visit reginaprophetar... & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
I'm currently prepping for Holy Matrimony and NO ONE, not one has mentioned the importance of chasitity and it's blessings on your future marriage and child rearing. Our pre-cana class actually entered grave error when the instructing couple encouraged the denial of the marriage debt! Lack of chastity is just one of the many virtues that many catholics today are choosing to live without with devastating results for them, their families and the mystical body of Christ.
May God grant me a religious vocation!

It looks like He already did. 😊
We would to know the update. Hehe
The road to perfection is gained by going AGAINST the flow...
Great point there
taking the road that is less traveled by many & against the world.
May God give strength to our priests and religious that they may do their duties!
As a sincere practicing catholic Christian and a Knight of Columbus,
I stand up for all the teachings of the Catholic Christian faith such as saying no to abortion rights, saying no to LGBT rights, saying no to premarital sex, saying no to conceiving a child out of wedlock and so on. With that being said, there's nothing and no one that can change my mind on my Catholic Christian theological views.
Food for thought-never heard a description quite like this. Thank you.
AMEN! Well preached Father!!
Yessss Father you’re absolutely right I’ve met those cafeteria style Catholics in places you’ve mentioned.
My liberal, Jesuit university was full of liberal priests/professors. Mind boggling and disheartening. I
Well, I mean, it's Jesuit. What else do you expect these days?

today there is hardly a reason for a good catholic woman to enter higher education BUT to be poisoned and exposed to filth. Thank God you rejected it!
Carbon 10 of the Council of Trent teaches this:
“If anyone says that the married state excels the state of virginity or celibacy, and that it is better and happier to be united in matrimony than to remain in virginity or celibacy,[15] let him be anathema (excommunicated)”
When Jesus was pressed by the Pharisees on a woman who had seven husbands before she herself died - trying to determine which one was the husband - Jesus Himself says that no one will be married in Heaven (Matthew 22:30).
Priests are ahead of the curve basically. Good sermon Father 🙌
Even though celibate clerical state or religious vacation is objectively superior to marriage, would it be correct to say that they only superior for a particular person if one is called by God to that state. Vocational discernment is important. More people are called to married life than to the priesthood or religious life.
That’s not to discredit marriage. Marriage is a beautiful thing; it’s a beautiful vocation.
But it should never be elevated above celibacy or chastity. In the Kingdom of Heaven, no one will marry nor be given in marriage (Matthew 22:30).
Exactly
1:24 Nice quote from St. Anselm
Word on Fire? What’s wrong with that? I listen often and don’t hear anything wrong-what am I missing?
Bishop Barron says that we have a reasonable hope that all men are saved

It’s Vatican 2 stuff
¡Preach that Chastity, Temperance!
Thank you for this sermon Father. But since you mentioned it, is there something wrong with Word on Fire?
No, he just wants to call everyone a heretic.
Read or listen to Catholic DR. E Michael Jones. He can explain why and how we have so many cafeteria Catholics, among many other important topics.
If the world last I would like to in my old age live in a monastic community or if I am widowed as a hermet monk.
Me too, I don't know my vocation yet but I have always wanted kids, If I am to get married I hope I can spend the old age in a convent. Or maybe I won't marry and will be in a convent soon, who knows. Just hope God helps me in whatever path
I thought about that too. I am in my old age now. Wonder how this is done?
I had to leave the video when he denounced word on fire. I get going after America magazine. But bishop Barron isn’t a modernist.
I wonder if the modernism expressed in the documents of Vatican II and the bad teachings of the V II Popes has led many Catholics to believe that they can take or leave whichever documents they choose. Aren't they just following the example set by Rome?
Who is this priest... I have heard him many times but with no mention of his name. His testimonies are amazing.
Salem Sarkis I know of him, met him, have heard his masses. It's not important about his name, but rather his message. These priests on this channel wish to remain anonymous so that they can preach the truth of Christ and not draw undue attention to themselves.
Buck Haberthy. Wondering his name too because I specifically enjoy his zeal in explains the word and wish to hear more of his sermons. It’s not to give him praise.
That icon is actually orthodox christian
What is wrong with Word on Fire? Sometimes I think some of these priests are soooo traditionalist, that they throw out the baby, with the bathwater, and the soap! I know we need to follow the teachings of the church, but some of these speeches come across as some Catholics are better than others. (Sort of like the Pharisee and the sinner) They have a seniority complex that is damaging to the church and the faithful. I am not talking about vocations, but simple attitude and humility towards others.
Because ab barron preaches heresy
@Daniel Pan yup Vat 2 all they teach is pleasing the world the people & other religion without realizing their compromising GOD'S first commandment... ecumenism, modernism & liberalism....works of the flesh & iniquities brought by Freemasonry & other enemies of GOD & HIS CHURCH.
Catholicism IS superior....
@Marie Just Marie I struggled with the same thoughts. I wanted to read modern books, because they are easier. I knew that parts of them were poor teaching, but I excused myself, thinking, I'll just nibble the edges, eat the parts that aren't rotten.
Lately, I've realised how short is my life. We have so little time and God is so great. We can never learn all His wonders, so why waste time with anything less than excellent? We have so much trustworthy teaching from the Saints that we could read the rest of our lives and never run out of reading material. With so much to learn, so much to adore, how can we possibly be content with less than the best? We have a banquet of Catholic teaching. We shouldn't ruin our appetite by filling up at McDonald's beforehand.
@awe yea I think Fulton Sheen's Life of Christ should be required reading, along with St Bonaventure's Life of Christ. The Carmelite Directory of the Spiritual Life is easy to read and a sure guide to a Catholic life. Anything by St Alphonsus is exceptional, but his little booklet, "Uniformity with the will of God" is life changing. And if you want to read one paragraph at a time and spend the whole day in astonished prayer, St Bernard on the Song of Songs. It's too beautiful for words, almost too beautiful to bear.
Fr. Lenny Bollardo? Is that you?
I thought that some of the apostles were married first and then detached themselves from their wives for the sake of the Lord..eg Peter, Philip...
I listen to Bishop Barren and Sensus Fidelium and sometimes Michael Voris. All Catholics. Bishop Barren gets picked on. Who is the most Catholic here? We the sheep want to know.... quickly.
Not Barron
What in the world is wrong with Word on Fire? Because Bishop Barron said we can reasonably hope all may go to Heaven?
I cannot think of any other possible explanation, everything I have seen from him is doctrinally sound.
That's exactly what I was thinking. It is a condemned statement by Bl. Pius IX to hold a reasonable hope that all are saved. While we certainly hope for the salvation of all souls, the wording rather implies that we have some sort of firm assurance that objectively all are actually saved.
We certainly hope, of course. A firm assurance all everywhere are saved we certainly have not, as we know how wicked men can be.
He mentions Three to Get Married, though. The ideal should be the norm, of course. I don't condemn him for his view of marriage, he's pretty firm with that, unless I'm missing some nuance somewhere (I've watched a lot of his videos, he helped me reconvert to Catholicism from Protestantism). As for homosexuality, that area does need careful attention. We need to hold to our view that marriage and the raising of children is for man and woman, of course, but it is still an area that requires careful handling.
SM C so true. I was aghast at Michael Voris report on Bishop Barron's commentary on Martin Luther. Unbelievable!
is fr Ripperger actually saying WORD on Fire is bad teaching?
Helen Sullivan This is not Father Ripperger
Gosh, Darn IT! WHY, don't you put a Video on him?
3:10 lmao Maria Shriver
Word on fire? Isn't the founder fr.barron?
Word on Fire is sound right?
Lol. Nope
@@iroamalone6953 Where has it been in error? I'm a catachumen using it to supplement my RCIA and don't want to be going down a heretical path
@@jonathanakchin8435 Bishop Barron says we have a reasonable hope that all men are saved
@@jonathanakchin8435 find a Traditional Latin Mass or priest (much like this in sermon who still uphold true to tradition solid RC faith before Vat 2) & pray to GOD to lead you to it. That's how I got away from NO & Vat2. stay away from this wordly & crowd pleasing cardinal & bishop who preach salvation as if it's free & easy with no effort or contrition at all.
@@jonathanakchin8435 Hey Jonathan. I’m a big fan of Bishop Barron. His content has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the faith. Brant Pitre at Catholic Productions is also a great source.
I follow Word On Fire and Sensus
Fidelium.
Fair enough and so be it. I'll keep this sermon around in case someone asks me why I left the Church, since it really does seem that I'm a heretic for being an unrepentant evolutionist.
When you are dead and your body rots in the ground, what good would your opinion on evolution or creation do you?
6:15 good
This is ridiculous.
Called out, huh?
Word on Fire ain t that good, i've learnt lots about the beauty and truth of our faith and God there in conjuncture with content from this channel, in other words, truth can t contradict truth, i will not neglect that i can t agrer a 100% of what Bishop baron may say, but there are points where he 110% converges with the discourse of the Priests here in the videos.
So everyone should be chaste? There have been movements like that in the past. We know what happens to those.
celibacy leads to further spiritual illumination.
Chastity according to your station in life
If everyone was chaste humans would be extinct so, if God made matrimony not everyone has to be celibate
Everyone should be chaste, yes. Not everyone can be celibate, however. A faithful married person can be chaste without being celibate. To be chaste just means to be faithful in your state in life, to give your heart and your body only to the one to whom you are bound to share yourself. For married people, this means enjoying married life with their spouse. For celibate religious, it means giving themselves entirely to God.
@@gray_mara I figured this out over time haha
This is VERY demeaning.. not very Catholic in my opinion. The church is meant to preach love and this video is basically telling people to judge other Catholics AND act superior to them! In Luke chapter 18, Jesus tells a parable about a tax collector and a pharisee. The two men walk into the temple. The pharisee prays about how much better he is than the tax collector. Meanwhile the tax collector begs for mercy. The Lord has mercy on the tax collector. We should not act like the pharisee, and look through people's mail to find out if they are "cafeteria Catholics"
Kayla Tavares we are called to judge and make judgements. As St Augustine said ‘the first emotion when truth is revealed is anger’. Speak the truth come what may
Sensus Fidelium I completely disagree. We are not called to judge others. We are supposed to die to ourselves so we can live for Christ. If we are judging people that is acting as if we are equal to God, because it is God who judges.
Kayla Tavares of course we can make value judgements, how else would we do good and reject evil. God expects this of us, it's called having an informed conscience. Be perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect!
Again, I disagree. I understand what you're saying, of course we should reject evil. In my opinion, however, that does not mean we are called to judge our brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus' callings for us are not complicated it roots down to everything he says in scripture. There are COUNTLESS times that God reminds us not to judge others. I gave one example earlier (Luke chapter 18). Another is when the woman who committed adultery was being stoned and Jesus said "He who has never sinned may throw the first stone". We are never called to judge one another. I assume you know the seven virtues. No where, on that list, does judgement even come close to appearing. Love and kindness are the virtues God wants us to live up to.
Kayla Tavares I hear you and I urge you to keep learning and pray to Mary for the grace and humility of heart to accept her Son’s difficult teaching. I still have a hard time with this but she is with me every step of the way. I obey Him because He said so🙂
Pray for me and I promise to pray for you💕
