I always respected what Raymond Arroyo had to say, and his interview here in this video shows me once again what a quality human being and Catholic he is.
Much better on radio than on TV. Always seems a bit self-conscious. Here I hear nothing but conviction. And that advise from Mother Angelica. Thank you, ma’am. I need that.
My dad and I were lucky enough to get a seat on a flight a couple months ago right next to Mr. Arroyo! He’s honestly such a nice guy 😁 good to have people like him and Matt out there
I'm praying and fasting for conversion of all of us! May we have courage to remove those in power who refuse to follow the commandments. Thank you Mr. Fradd for this video and the other one. So helpful for keeping me from apathy, then roaring anger and finally sleepless anxiety. God reward you!
I'm this time of trials we need to lift each other up to the LORD. I'm like a line ranger making sneak attacks on my parish with emails and in the diocese with comments, and this was just the cure for the loneliness and despair. Thanks and peace, Matt.
Raymond, I believe that pressure was placed on Pope Benedict XVI and that is why he wasn't so strict with Bishop McCarrick and could also be why he resigned? At the funeral Mass of St. John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger said that the Church had "wolves in sheep's clothing..." The wolves are the ecclesiastical freemasons. They protect and support one another no matter what.
I just found out about you today. What a great couple of interviews you have done. This and the one with Patrick Coffin. I am a very new Catholic, only been confirmed at the Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide, Australia on August 15th 2018. I have come at a time when the Church is going through a very difficult period indeed. So keep up your great work.
Carl Strehlow Keep the faith, it seems quite apparent that God has gifted you with a strong faith to be confirmed during this craziness. Congrats to you brother, keep close to your Rosary as Blessed Mother will be the Ark during the modern flood we see, btw idk how informed in Scripture you are but this type of homosexuality problem is what God wipes out humanity at the flood, but that shouldn’t worry you. You need to draw closer to Mother Mary evermore during this crisis as she is the new ark always trying save repentant souls during this crisis and this should be seen as entirely bad as this is in someway a spiritual work of mercy as to alert those who are not entirely prepared to get ready. God Bless and Love you dearly!
I know as a Catholic, we are going to go through hard times indeed. I joined the Church, that for many reasons, but ultimately this is the Catholic Church is the original. I could say more on this. Thanks to a Fulton Sheen in troubled times he talked of praying the Rosary everyday, something still foreign to me. But as of the 24th of August, I am trying to do just that with all my other prayers. I know that intersession of Mary and the Saints to pray for us is important. I know now that Catholics do not worship Mary or think of her as God. I think the traditional Orthodox prayer 'Jesus Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner' is also important to say. It looks like God's judgment is coming. I have found an excellent parish. It conducts the Latin Mass and it is so blessed with many people, including young people, people with large families. All from what I can see love God. I am starting to appreciate the Mass and what that verse in the Apostles creed 'The Communion of Saints' truly means.
And in all honesty the Rosary is called The School of Prayer and if you’re a convert and you’re just starting with the vocal prayers, God is very patient with converts cause he knows that it’s a process. But don’t worry about the meditations right away just build the habit of learning the prayers first
Carl Strehlow I also my friend am an avid supporter of The Latin Mass but do tread with caution in the Latin Mass circles as they’re many who are so hurt by the theological damage over the last 50 years and some exhibit tendencies that borderline on paranoia and those are the ultra Trads that think that they are holier than thou, and think that every little thing is a sin, and just so you know I’m a Trad as well, but I just want to forewarn you that some of the fringe elements of the Church congregate at the Latin Mass. Not saying judge them but for your own peace of mind stay with the young families, if you see those who tend to be on the conspiratorial end that makes The SSPX look mainline steer clear and just pray.
Thanks Mike, these people at this parish are great. Yes, there are many who are do not like the Novus Ordo Missae. I have yet to really experience itself, though I did have a look at it when I was at the St Francis Xavier's Cathedral in Adelaide CBD, where for my first penance I had to walk there and pray the Rosary. It was very much like the Lutheran Church liturgy I use to go to. I like the 1962 Missal. I have yet to see what the new one looks like. What I do like, aside from the fact this is a sung Mass where they are blessed with a wonderful choir, I do like the periods of silence. I know what Cardinal Robert Sarah means on the power of silence. You need it. I actually go to the church 30 minutes early so I can hear the silence. I also like the Confessions which can still be daunting. I worry about my sins as I never want to deliberately withhold anything I need to confess anything. That is a really great sacrament.
Wait Raymond -no--the Pope is not the law giver or the law maker of the Church--CHRIST is. That being said--you do a fabulous job of honestly reporting on all of this & I rely on you & EWTN whole heartedly!
I had the same reaction as arroyo to the letter regarding Benedict. When you’re a ceo, you’re relying on what your managers tell you. Benedict wouldn’t have known every detail about what the cardinals and archbishops were doing because an executive simply can’t micromanage everything. I totally believe certain cardinals could have kept Benedict in the dark. That goes for Francis as well. But Francis’s statement on the letter combined with his past statements about homosexuality make me suspicious personally.
Accusations require evidence before they need to be answered. If an accused person is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty then the accuser must be presumed to be a liar until they can prove they are truthful.
"Don't leave because of Judas." True. As my parish priest said from the pulpit this past Sunday, Jesus lost 1/12 of his first-round Bps. (Judas). God's Power will be known and Jesus' will be glorified through all purification that needs to happen with this diabolical lot. So many questions now about Pope B IX stepping down before his death. Can Pope Francis' Popehood be "annulled?" Keep up the good work of covering this situation, and keep the faith. On the evening of the first day of the week, even though the disciples had locked the doors of the place where they were.... Jesus came and stood before them. "Peace be with you." He said. (Jn. 20:19)
And as that Bishop said, when the chips were down, only ONE of the E LEVEN were with the women at the foot of the cross. One in twelve bishops is worth a damn. Our percentage are, I fear, even worse. We celebrate the saints because they are so damned few.
But unlike Judas, the 10 that fled died to themselves, embraced forgiveness from God, and were saved. Interesting that we don't have play-by-plays of where they went, how they spent there time until the Resurrection. So, it wasn't really 1/12. These 10 included Peter,and Jesus did not reneg on his appointment of Peter as first Pope.
I don't understand! What happened to him? He was always a gadfly but now it's hard to read it's so poisonous. We need to be united in the faith and see this through together.
All the priests in question, no matter how old they are and what their ranks, should be transferred to MiddleEastern parishes as the part of their penance - to work on the rebuilding of butchered Church over there as well as to scoop up what's left of their life.
The account that John apparently ran off from Gethsemane faster than Usain Bolt, and later had a twinge to warn Mary to run as well, before she literally compelled him to seek God's presence and remain with Him IN THAT PRESENT MOMENT. Profound stuff. Its amazing i got to know about Mother as well during those years She was quiet so to speak. Present moment takes a whole new meaning different after this. Thanks Raymond and Matt. For the call to Stay where we need to be in a storm of juicy and enticing distractions
hearing about mccarrick and wuerl is so infuriating. the nerve of him that he would not pass a letter from the Vatican to the american bishops and this was the least of his crimes and deceit. it makes my stomach sick about their behavior. so evil...just so evil. I am saddened by this. how can we know about these men in the church? I wish Pope Benedict would have never resigned. Pope Francis always seemed to cultivate confusion and now look at the mess we are in..it hurts.
"…Let us speak out and say plainly what worries us today… We are tempted to say, if we are honest with ourselves, that the Church is neither holy nor catholic… The centuries of the Church’s history are so filled with all sorts of human failure..." Saying that the Church is “holy” is not to say that each and every one of its members is immaculate and saintly. Ratzinger says that this dream of an immaculate Church has been reborn in every age, but that there is no place for it in the Creed, and indeed, the harshest criticisms of the Church are born from this unrealistic dream of a spotless Church. "…This holiness expressed itself precisely as mingling with the sinners whom Jesus drew into his vicinity; as mingling to the point where he himself was made ‘to be sin’ and bore the curse of the law in execution as a criminal-complete community of fate with the lost… and so revealed what true ‘holiness’ is: not separation, but union; not judgment, but redeeming love." Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Intro to Christianity, 1968
what do you mean "the last episode on this issue"? in the first you said matt walsh and sam guzman were coming up next? are there other episodes being published somewhere else and i'm missing it? i'm sorry, i'm new to this channel. i love it and i love how you were covering this "thing" that 's happening to the church.. listening to your talks made me feel so peaceful and proud and happy that i was a catholic. lots of love and respect from europe! god bless you and your program and all your guests!
Did the Holy Father really know the severity of everything?? He seems duped to me. Frightening and sad. Those around him advising him are more guilty. Maybe he said 'let the report speak for itself' because he hadn't yet read it.
Me Schooner, are you serious??? Pope Francis knows exactly what he is doing, We have a very bad Pope who surrounds himself with scoundrels in dress up. Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us all.
Some commentator interpreted the Pope's comment to the press as hinting to them that they need to spin it. In other words, we see that this is homosexuality, not pedophilia, and this is a story you don't want - so impugn Vigano.
I was so hopeful when Francis was elected. I watched when he first was announced to the world at St Peter's. He has been so strange ever since. He said recently atheists can go to heaven.Where is that in scriptures? You must believe in the Spirit at least, from my understanding.
They can go against the bishops and cardinals...by withholding contributions. But they cannot go against the government...because the government has guns.
A good gay Catholic priest would not lead an active gay life. Allowance need to be made for well-intentioned gay priests who fall occasionally but 'how much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?' - Hebrews 10:29. I'm not a Christian but that's the doctrine.
I think not because it might be more a problem of predatory behaviour than sexual orientation. I would go for zero tolerance with a legal obligation to inform the police.
Raymond Arroyo is a traditionalist Catholic and is anti Pope Francis. I used to watch every video of yours, Matt... but I won't waste my time from now on.
I always respected what Raymond Arroyo had to say, and his interview here in this video shows me once again what a quality human being and Catholic he is.

Can’t believe I just saw this. It was amazing.
Great, uplifting interview, thank you Matt and Raymond, God bless you
Thank you so much! Mother Angelica's words were perfect for this. It's the mark of a wise saint to have words that transcend their life.
I'm this time of trials we need to lift each other up to the LORD. I'm like a line ranger making sneak attacks on my parish with emails and in the diocese with comments, and this was just the cure for the loneliness and despair. Thanks and peace, Matt.
Thank you Raymond for your frank comments. We have a very bad pope who surrounds himself with scoundrels. Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us all.
Great interview! Love that guy: Raymond Arroyo !!! I agree with him 100%! 👍
What a true saint @MotherAngelica! Raymond thank you for sharing with us the words of Mother Angelica a true follower of Christ.
Love Raymond Arroyo, top notch!...
Fantastic interview. Thank you Matt.

keep fighting for our church and lay people!! Thx.
This is a war. Good vs Evil. Pay attention
Stay close to Jesus and The Church. Pray the Rosary
Thank you, Raymond Arroyo, for staying above the bloodbathing grudge match in social media.
Is there a tshirt of pints with Acquinas? It's really cool.
Subscribed!
in Mother Angelica's voice: "... come here, sit down." *starts to tear up*

@Stat crux dum volvitur orbis Where is Christ's love in your comment?
@@brendantannam499 Would optional celibacy lessen abuse?
I think not because it might be more a problem of predatory behaviour than sexual orientation. I would go for zero tolerance with a legal obligation to inform the police.
@@brendantannam499 I think think the gay issue will split the Catholic church.
A gay man designed the church of St Peter's and also painted the Sistine chapel.

Thanks Matt. Great interview.
