No punches pulled here. You can hear the genuine anger in his voice. There is another version with an entire Orchestra which is brilliant and has a funny extension at the end, but this is a much more raw and powerful one!
I am a lapsed Roman Catholic. And there is *NOTHNG* more lapsed than a lapsed Roman Catholic. Tim Minchin nailed this to the wall. He is absolutely spot on. Please react to _"Come Home (Cardinal Pell)"_ if you haven't already. {:o:O:}
@@ire1398its great that he managed to sneak that in there but you're underestimating how stupid people are. I've seen so many reactors and none of them even have the first clue what it even means.
Love tim. Saw him live just a few weeks ago. His last release was in October a song to celebrate the Sydney Opera house's 50th birthday. The tune is Play it safe 😊
I applaud Tom for still playing his shows so soon after his dear mother's death. He was very close to her and I'm sure it can't have been easy for him.
Tim Minchin is amazing, and so talented. He wrote the music for the play Matilda, starred in the Andrew Lloyd Weber stage play of Jesus Christ Superstar as Judas, and has so many other accolades. Definitely check out more of his music! To get a real sense of his brilliant piano skills, watch Dark Side (Awesome version). Other good ones are Storm, Thank You God, Rock n Roll Nerd, and his Christmas song White Wine in the Sun. If you like this topic, another band is Bloodywood, an Indian Folk Metal band. Their song Dana Dan is about stopping rape. Many of their songs tackle social and political issues, like bullying, oppression and suicide. Their music is definitely very heavy, and I recommend Closed Captioning when possible, especially for Dana Dan. If you decide ro check them out, you won't be disappointed! ❤
G'day mates, I'm really enjoying your discovery of Tim's work. Dark side has a great piano solo, thank you God is linguistic brilliance, storm is masterful storytelling and if I didn't have you is about his wife and has a special bonus insight into his personal life after the song. I would love to see you react to any of these and if perfectly honest, over time, all of them. Thanks for this one , thoroughly enjoyed it
"thank you God" (full version), "ten-foot co*k and a few hundred vergins", "if I didn't have you" (full version), "lullaby". That's a brilliant songs of Tim.
The term is Papist, he does use it in the song, and they believe that as the 'voice of God' the Pope can do no wrong. Now, this song was written in London early in the 2000s ish; there was a number of pedophile priests on trial publicly and the Pope at the time flew them out of London and into Vatican City so they could not be tried. THAT is, specifically, what he is singing about. But even so, he speaks truth, even to this day. (It might not have been early 2000s, might have been 2010 ish, I do not remember the date; not in UK, so I am only vaguely aware of the event.)
not only London, TH s happened in Australia, Germany, USA and every other country in which the catholic church is present and was investigated. We count more then 1000 victims in Germany alone, and that is only the number of csa, cases of children being abused by corporeal punishment (even though it was outlawed in the 70s to be used in schools) goes in the 30000.
My husband’s uncle HATES swearing. He watches every movie on TBS or USA. He insists that it is never appropriate. I played him this song. He squirmed and agreed with me. Oh - he’s Catholic.
Thank you God by Tim Minchin should be your next one! Clever lyrics, very impressive singing and songwriting with a full orchestra! And a heavy dose of social commentary that you should come to expect from Tim lol Here's the best version: th-cam.com/video/IZeWPScnolo/w-d-xo.html
Tim Minchin is really good at cleverly choosing his words. It’s just that sometimes he cleverly chooses very straightforward words on matters to cut through to the heart of the matter. If you want something completely different, I’m fond of White Wine in the Sun. Also Storm is fun. And 15 Minutes. Most everything I’ve seen from him. Also there was a play of Jesus Christ Superstar with Tim as Judas, which was just brilliant casting
Guys a great reaction and you really got the point. Now it''s 2 days before Christmas you should watch Tim's song White Wine in the Sun. It is comedic but has a beautiful Christmas message.
It is the primary selling points of the religion, you can do anything you like and as long as you 'believe' everything is forgiven. Many Christians try to add in extra hoops needs to be forgiven (not required for the thieves on the adjacent crosses) or invent purgatory (not mentioned in the bible) or all sorts of "well it would not include those crimes' but the basic hook is that we are all sinners and if you believe the slate is wiped clean, so even Mengele gets to swivel on god's right hand. It is really quite nauseating if you bother to think about it.
Yep be worse then Hitler & as long as you believe in god it's all good you will be forgiven... seriously messed up. If more people actually read the bible cover to cover their would be far more empty churches but many Christians just listen to what their priest/pastor/reverend tells them & I were guilty of that too as a child but then sat down & read the bible cover to cover & were shocked at some of the stuff in there
Well, this one just dropped in. I'm sorry I don't know your names but I love both your initial reactions to this. I don't know if you're in a relationship or are family but it's obvious you trust each other. The woman screen right obviously loved the iconoclasm, understood from hearing Tim's prejudiced song that he's going to play with expectations a little and he's going to go somewhere with it. A little cheeky smile, a glance across for reassurance. The bloke on the left has a fixed grin, not sure if this could just be a nutter, gives him the benefit of the doubt, then laughs as he clicks with the meaning. I've typed this as you do the first pause, OK, I didn't know you were Christian. I'm not, but we can find some common ground here. There are some of Tims songs that might challenge your beliefs a little more, but let's not go there now. You've got the idea of the song, this one is not attacking either Christianity (some of his do), or even the basic idea of faith (erm, yeah, he does that too) but as you say the idea that someone is beyond reproach. He's also obviously playing with the idea that has language is profane. Like the prejudiced song, he's exploring why we attach importance to certain words and how it controls how we think. Sorry for the rant, but you've made me want to see more of your stuff.
Love this one, blinding is a bit mad but I definitely think perpetrators of CA need putting in a medical facility. If they reform through therapy cool, let them go with high levels of surveillance, if they somehow manage/try to re-offend, life imprisonment. Gotta remember most offenders of this kind were abused themselves, so like a small amount of compassion is appropriate.
If you're interested in hearing a song by Tim Minchin that isn't comedy but still terrific check out - The Absence of You. If you want a funny one check out - You Grew on Me
This an old song. Tim's views haven't changed but he expresses it in a less confrontational way these days. Tim by the way is athiest. In fact is a "passionate Humanist"
It's worth mentioning that this was written specifically about the pope before Francis, who was directly involved in the whole rapist priest shell game. Not that I'm catholic or care one way or another, tbh
Haha, maybe we can convince her to jump in a future reaction after she’s had a few vodka and cokes 😂 she’s proper cool though, will just say exactly what she thinks with no filter
in this case he is talking about the catholic church, but it apples to any church you can name. they ALL have there scandals, and are often for the same crime. in my opinion he does not go far enough. he stats if you protect the rapist you are as guilty as they are. i say if you knowingly support the organization in question with time, money, showing up at the service, or any other way you are morally culpable for the crime. how do you prove it? start with the only acceptable stance the church can take is full cooperation with the authority. internal investigations and hand over the offenders when found even if the law is not onto them yet. can you call yourself a "true" christian (what ever that is) if you support the action, but find the action unethical by christian standards? in you are in your words defending them. also you cannot say this person or that person is not a christian because they do not believe what i do. by that reasoning all christians are good because anyone who is not good you will just say is not a "true" christian. each person gets to say if they are a part of a group or not. provided the group does not have membership requirements I.E. membership fee, or required beliefs, or the like. if a person makes the minimum requirements and states they are part of the group then they are. in come cases like membership fees the statement is not needed. as far as i know the only requirement ALL groups that are considered christian can agree on is you need to believe jesus christ is your savior. if you are catholic and tithe you are paying for there crimes, and this apply to any criminal organization, and yes this counts every denomination if christian i know of. fortunately most people in the world are better then there religion would have them be.
Someone can correct me, but I believe papal "infallibility" only became written doctrine in the 1800s? (Well after the multiple popes of the Middle Ages. And the Reformation).
He he, this will be funny guys xx Cutting bits off? Crikey, hardcore bro. We've chemicals for that these days... Any abuse is reprehensible. Sexual abuse especially so. I'm taking a jokey tone, but this subject isn't a joke. Love your reactions guys.
His song thank you god is a must hear, no one has ever been roasted harder than Sam in that song.
Brilliant song, Sam will be ok😂
@@jemxs Thankfully for the sake of Tim's humanity Sam is an avatar, though I do also find the idea of a large orchestral roasting funny. Lol.
Have you not heard 'Song for Phil Doust'? Its verbal overkill on a way only Tim can deliver
@@djinn_jer I forgot about that one. you’re right, that also is a hard take down.
@@jemxsespecially since Sam is not even a real person 😂😂😂

{:o:O:}
wow, i think that makes you a grandmaster of shame :) *bows*
He isn't just roasting priests, he is roasting their enablers. Those that place them on their pedestal and treat them as beyond reproach
And how awesome is it that “papist” rhymes!
@@ire1398its great that he managed to sneak that in there but you're underestimating how stupid people are. I've seen so many reactors and none of them even have the first clue what it even means.
He is calling out every superstitious/religious person on the planet... believing in unfounded fairy tales let's people commit in human attrosaties !
Another vote for 'Thank You God' please.
seconding this!
Thirding!

"Pope, prince or plumber" He caught Andrew with a deserved stray, pretty sure the song was before we heard about that.

BOOM! Go Tim, we're proud of this legend from this big old land underneath. Cool react much love
I’ve always wanted to visit Australia, but Tim has pushed that into a top priority. Someday I’ll visit when he has a show playing.
"thank you God" (full version), "ten-foot co*k and a few hundred vergins", "if I didn't have you" (full version), "lullaby". That's a brilliant songs of Tim.
It would be interesting to see your opinion on Thank You God by him as well. As well as Storm.

It still goes on in that religion on an epidemic level.
not only London, TH s happened in Australia, Germany, USA and every other country in which the catholic church is present and was investigated. We count more then 1000 victims in Germany alone, and that is only the number of csa, cases of children being abused by corporeal punishment (even though it was outlawed in the 70s to be used in schools) goes in the 30000.
What he is singing about is specifically about Australia and Ballarat in particular which he followed up with Come Home Cardinal Pell.
@@bernbee1679 My bad. I thought it was a London based atrocity. Vaguely recall headlines from the time.

Tim is a genius with a genuine moral code.
Told you he was Good .hes actually Brilliant 👏. An Aussie always tells it how it is. 👍
Thank you for your reaction.
Prejudice isnt about racism its about how we prejudge the fact that we think its about the n word but it turns out it isnt
No, it really is about the N word. The ginger thing is an injection of comedy.

Religions rely on, and exist due to, people _not_ thinking about it.

If Martin Luther was a comedian with a piano:
If you want to react to some of his stuff - look at the musical Matilda which he wrote. You can see his clever wit.
Awesome, are the songs he wrote for Matilda the same ones from the Netflix musical? As we watched that and is was brilliant
I would suggest you watch the movie Spotlight with Micheal Keaton about Boston, usa, catholic scandal.

Oddly, this song is not about religion. It’s about people who claim to be religious, but then act in ungodly ways.
Yeah,thank you God with the orchestra is a master piece

One theme, but its a BIG ONE!!
This is PARTICULARY about the Catholic Church/Pope, but if it applies.....
Tim is at least giving Re a run for her money on the hair game
This an old song. Tim's views haven't changed but he expresses it in a less confrontational way these days.

@@RNDReacts omg my drink of choice. Has to be done. Well needed and with absolute respect.
Would I leave my child in Buddhist cloister. Yes. With a catholic priest *hell no*!
y'all tryna talk around pedophilia without gettin demonetized and I see you. I appreciate the effort and you talkin as much as you reasonably can

Don't expect any Love from Catholics...But who wants Catholic Love. 😮.React to Dave Allen please. On Religion. Very Good.
There are plenty of Catholics who can still appreciate Tim's work.
Moved around more than a man-eating orca, and with less paperwork
religious bigotry needs to be called out all the time. the catholic church mainly.
