    I'm Catholic. I'm someone who judged Shia harshly when his career went "nuclear," as he says. I started watching this dismissively, knowing he's an actor and expecting him to put on a perfunctory show, assuming he'd probably change religions again with his next role. I'm not even a quarter of the way through this interview and felt compelled to pause and write this comment. Harsh judgement is what I dislike most in other people, yet it's what led me to this interview: to watch Shia put on a show or try out a new PR stunt. I'd like to apologize for my own presumptuousness and small-mindedness. God deflated my ego when I watched Shia engage so openly and straightforwardly, and so humbly admit to his own humanness and wrongdoing and the hurt he's caused. Not only are his answers beautiful and compelling, but his sincerity is scathing to my senses because they were not prepared for it. I pray his journey continues to be a fulfilling one along the path of growth and righteousness. This was beautiful to see.

      Hi, cradle Catholic here also. I approached it cautiously and curiously, like a Wampanoag approaching the Pilgrims. What does he want with us? Is he going to redefine our faith to fit his industry values? I, too, was shellshocked as the scales fell from my eyes. Shia put into powerful words what the Mass is and how powerful is the mercy of our Creator. I thank God I saw the Aleteia story on Facebook, which led me to this video. What a privilege.

      Love the TLM. That’s not what this video is really about. It’s about a sinner who found a home in Catholicism because the friars treated him with real Christian charity. They extended the hand of Christ in love and touched his very soul. God bless them. Shia showed us what authentic Christianity looks like from the outside in. Let’s continue to pray for Shia, the caps, and Bishop Barron.

      @IIImobiusIII 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
      I live yet do not live in me,
      am waiting as my life goes by,
      and die because I do not die.
      No longer do I live in me,
      and without God I cannot live;
      to him or me I cannot give
      my self, so what can living be?
      A thousand deaths my agony
      waiting as my life goes by,
      dying because I do not die.
      This life I live alone I view
      as robbery of life, and so
      it is a constant death - with no
      way out until I live with you.
      God, hear me, what I say is true:
      I do not want this life of mine,
      and die because I do not die.
      Being so removed from you I say
      what kind of life can I have here
      but death so ugly and severe
      and worse than any form of pain?
      I pity me - and yet my fate
      is that I must keep up this lie,
      and die because I do not die.
      The fish taken out of the sea
      is not without a consolation:
      his dying is of brief duration
      and ultimately brings relief.
      Yet what convulsive death can be
      as bad as my pathetic life?
      The more I live the more I die.
      When I begin to feel relief
      on seeing you in the sacrament,
      I sink in deeper discontent,
      deprived of your sweet company.
      Now everything compels my grief:
      I want - yet can’t - see you nearby,
      and die because I do not die.
      Although I find my pleasure, Sir,
      in hope of someday seeing you,
      I see that I can lose you too,
      which makes my pain doubly severe,
      and so I live in darkest fear,
      and hope, wait as life goes by,
      dying because I do not die.
      Deliver me from death, my God,
      and give me life; now you have wound
      a rope about me; harshly bound
      I ask you to release the cord.
      See how I die to see you, Lord,
      and I am shattered where I lie,
      dying because I do not die.
      My death will trigger tears in me,
      and I shall mourn my life: a day
      annihilated by the way
      I fail and sin relentlessly.
      O Father God, when will it be
      that I can say without a lie:
      I live because I do not die?
      God Bless.

And I just know he led me to Christ and the Church. While I was learning about Padre Pio and the Church my daughter was in her last year of college and when I told her I was thinking of going to RCIA she told me she had been thinking the exact same thing!

    Bishops take notice! The Traditional Mass touches hearts, it converts sinners, it contains infinite mystery and is the threshold of eternity. Labouf brilliantly states that “it is like a profound secret is being shared with you” The TLM reaches sinners hearts through means beyond words and outside of the rational. He speaks for all adult converts that find the truth, especially through the TLM

      Alcoholics Anonymous? I too am apart of it, however I held my Catholic faith prior to entering the program. What I noticed upon entering was that they had us give our will and our lives over to “the God of our understanding” or simply our “higher power”. It is an inclusive program so it works with people regardless of where they are at in their understanding of God. It is pretty obvious that AA is a Christian program although they don’t say it outright. Anyways, how did you find Catholicism through AA?

It's apparent the program is predicated upon Judeo-Christian principles; however, having grown up in the protestant faith we did not have or believe in confessing to another human being. I knew that this was unique to the Catholic faith but all I knew of Catholicism was by way of prejudiced family and friends as well as movies. So, I set out to learn more and ultimately converted and entered discernment for the priesthood before meeting my wife at an AA meeting. She later converted, as well as my mother. I now have two beautiful little "sobriety babies", wonderful medical practice and my mother had a beautiful Catholic funeral Mass having received the sacrament of Last Rites prior to her death.

      Deo Gratis! I Hope you take no offense - but be sure to get the rosary blessed. Most have forgotten about that if it has been a long time. .Also, many that attended Catholic school never were taught the proper way to say and meditate on the rosary. There is more than one approach to mediating and with the internet's lots of great articles and videos to offer meditation ideas. .
      There is more than one right way to focus, so enjoy the re-discovery! If you like you can look online for articles on Scriptural rosaries which can really get you going to meditate on each of the Joyous, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries (and Luminous later added by JP2). Also there are some nice videos that some find helpful when you don't say it alone. There are some BEAUTIFUL videos by the Late fr Patrick Peyton. And Bishop Barron's (Scriptural )Joyous Mystery rosary is on TH-cam video, and is very moving! It brought me to tears when I first saw it! As Dr. Taylor Marshall would say, welcome to the Team!

    This made me cry and feels like something I am going through as well.
    As a cradle catholic, I've lost touch with the Catholic church over the years(decades) and trapped in darkness.
    drugs, porn addiction, sex, pride, anger greed, chasing money.
    even a philosophy degree (at a Catholic university) only led me deeper down the path of existential dread and depression, as I was seeking to destroy rather than to unite.
    I still spend most of my life alone, and mostly lonely.
    36 years old and incapable of loving.
    I had nowhere to go, until I suddenly felt a sense to go back to church and attend mass though anxiety, fear, shame and doubt kept me from going immediately.
    When I finally did a couple of months ago, I started crying 😢 during mass (and I still do).
    I felt a warmth and a sense of belonging that I hadn't felt in a very long time.
    There's still so much to grow into and learn.
    This is story is so I inspiring and heart warming.

      The 20th century was the single largest period of growth in the entire history of the Church. 16 million people converted to Catholicism in 2020 alone. Attributing this unprecedented level of spectacular public interest to a liturgical tradition that is scarcely available to the vast majority of Catholics on earth doesn't add up at all. Maybe traditionalists should take note.
      It is the truth people want. Not just a xenonationalistic devotion to a liturgical tradition that is pretty much identical to the structure of every other Catholic Eucharistic liturgy in history, despite the current tridentine liturgy itself being younger than the protestant schism.

      Same here, it’s clear he found the infinite mystery of our faith in the eternal sacrifice - the TLM. I wish Bishop Barron would understand this profound reality. The rigid TLM actually is the most pastoral, by reaching sinners hearts through means beyond words, outside of the rational.

      Hebrews 4
      King James Version
      4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
      2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
      3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
      4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
      5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
      6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
      7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
      8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
      9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
      10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
      11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
      12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
      13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

    Padre Pio saved my life too. I had fallen away from the Church. There were all kinds of excuses why I couldn't pray or go to Mass. My parents were living with me at that time and if were saying the Rosary I would pretend not to hear them and stay out of sight so they wouldn't invite me to pray. When they spoke about Padre Pio I would become so angry and say awful things about him. My pride was enormous. Slowly though I began to pray with them. I finally returned to the Holy Roman Catholic Church but with a deeper love for God. I wanted to know more about Jesus and His teaching. I consecrated myself to the Holy Spirit because my life was a mess and I realised I can do nothing without God. I needed guidance. Time passed. The problems didn't stop but I am happier now. I have God with me in everything. Years later my parents told me they had been praying to Padre Pio for my return ❤✝️

I pray to St Pio everyday.....just love that Shia loves the Latin mass, I pray for his catholic journey, so excited for him as he grows in his faith, it will be fun to watch what he does next...Hollywood needs more examples in their corrupt secular world!

    I’m sitting here in tears, rejoicing for Shia. What an incredibly powerful testimony. I’m not Catholic, but I am a Christian. I kept thinking how interesting it is that Catholicism was the thing that drew him to Christ. Not because there’s anything wrong with it but because to the rest of the world, it seems to be full of more rules & regulations - it’s not naturally appealing to someone who wanted nothing to do with religion & was agnostic. But God knew! He knew what Shia needed and what would draw him to Himself. He didn’t need the easy version of the Gospel, he needed the hard & something truly full of meaning and depth. Today I’ve learned so much from the Catholic Church & I’m SO touched by it and his story.

    Padre Pio spoke to Shia. It is no coincidence that he was led along this path. Padre works in beautiful ways still. Padre came to me over a decade after I left Italy..lived there for over 7 years. In 2001 I saw a photo, framed on a wall amongst other photos of family and such but this one made me stop, I asked my friends elderly mother aka Nonna..”who is this in this photo?”.. it was black and white..a boy in a hospital bed and there was a priest maybe I thought but it made me stop and held my thought and feeling. She said “that is padre Pio and Tonino, he was a little boy and sick in hospital..padre Pio came to see him and he got better.” I smiled and looked deeply at the photo then moved on to sit with her for some time. I never again thought of this Padre Pio..I lived in a small town that was set above the city of Napoli in the foothills of mountains for 3.5 years..Then lived in Sicily for almost 4 years. Not until last year did his name come to me. During thought in between prayer/meditation I was just lying there in peaceful thought..Padre Pio called upon me. Not a voice but his name came in my mind, in my heart..I was open to guidance and had dedicated my existence in entirety, eternally to the Lord..I was open and always asking to be closer to please guide me and this was a calling. I felt close to him knowing nearly nothing except we both speak Italian and I thought of that photo. I then began to read and watch film footage. I felt his emotions, tears of joy..connectedness..my soul was moved and since that night I speak to Padre Pio, he brought me so much closer to Mother Mary, she called on me to know of Joseph. This brought much healing. I have a beautiful rosary with a medallion of padre and I thank the Lord for the blessings that would not be possible withought him. I can not exist any other way or even think of what existence would be without God guiding me, Jesus leading me hand in hand never letting go, Holy mother nurturing..protecting and the entire divine family I say in prayer/thought/meditation. I am so grateful. It is so beautiful to see Shia moved by Padre, I understand..my experience is different with Padre Pio but I understand because I had grow apart from God due to enduring abuse for many years. God ensured that I would remain alive several times..doctors didn’t know how I was alive after one incident that put me in icu for over a week..I should have died..it was a miracle and not the only miracle protecting my life here but the one that doctors couldn’t explain…so I gradually began to shine brighter and brighter as I began to follow my soul calling. I feel to give of myself to God is not enough often, others gave more and it brings me such joy, peace and more..it is hard at times yes but The closer one is with the Lord the more Joy we feel and I suppose I exist in the moment..arduous..painful times I can endure because I am supported and strong even if it hurts like gut wrenching..like a wound that rips open my heart..I hold on and find the light even in the darkest of places. I send love and light to all in abundance, I pray for you all no matter what you believe in..God is good and merciful. And true..not just a character for people to believe in and act good hopefully..God is real and true..I have known since I was 3 1/2 years old:) I never shared any of this but the words flowed and I think it’s time I shared some of this✨❤️🙏🏼 God Bless you all and have a Blessed morning!

    I have been on a very long spiritual journey. I became Catholic 16 years ago and about every 2-3 years before that and after that, I have some type of significant epiphany and I feel like I'm getting closer. I'm at 27 mins into this and Shia just said reading the gospel was like reading a map. It is a route taking you to something. If he could summarize it in two words, it would be "let go." I paused the video and I wept. I mean really deeply wept. I know that is the answer. LOST is my favorite tv show and this was the message Jack finally got in the end. He needed to "let go." I know that is what I need to do. Now I just have to figure out how. Wow, I sure didn't think Shia LaBeouf would be an influencial part of my journey. Thank you so much for being brave enough to seek the truth and to speak it to others. I can't tell you how much that summary has helped me. God is truly using you. I have a Bachelors in Biblical Studies and I grew up as a protestant preacher's daughter. I am always searching, always trying to feel peace. I relate to so much of what you have said in this interview. I keep thinking its something I can do--something I can understand. I know I just need to "let go." Please pray for me.

      Respectfully, then you are moving from Biblical truth to heresy, idolatry and a false theology of salvation. Christ is your mediator, not a priest. We do not pray to Mary or others for mediation. We don't give veneration to beads, statues, or other images. We accept Christ's words that He is our only mediator and that we are not to refer to priests as "Father', or celebrate the holidays the catholic church redefined from their pagan roots. Purgatory, where's that in Scripture? 2nd chances after death, where's that? Dressing up statues, kissing them, carrying them around; is this not in violation of the 2nd Commandment? Claiming false lineage to Peter. Where does it say in Scripture Peter ever stepped foot in Rome? Where does it say he is the foundation of the church? Christ is the Rock for which His church was built. The Catholic church has a serious idolatry problem! Christ's church doesn't house pagan idols from around the world. Dead church patrons are chemically preserved so Catholics can venerate them. Beheaded skulls and bones are on display in Rome. Even the Vatican and the most famous churches in Europe were built on former pagan churches.

    At a very young age, during Mass, I pointed at the priest and asked my mom, “When can I do that?”
    I’m 28 now, and I have been discerning a vocation to priesthood on and off for the past 3 years. COVID separated me from sacraments and has been a large hurdle in my discernment process. I have not been able to find a spiritual director but I continue to deepen in my passion for Christ.
    A lot of my discernment comes from the evidence of my past. I was an actor and was involved in Musicals during my education for about 7 years. I hated being an actor and I hated being an actor. But I did not act for enjoyment, I acted because I was so attracted to a girl in my class that I wanted to be involved in all the acting, all the singing and all the dancing to be with her.
    That is a parallel aspect of my life. I feel so unworthy in this calling, but I love Christ so much I know He is asking me to the table to get to know Him better.
    Catholics keep me in your prayers. I do not want to fall away as I did when COVID came out.

    My beloved grandfather many years ago was going thru open heart surgery ,so my Mom had a dream that Padre Pio was with my granddad and telling him that he would be fine. When my Mom saw my Granddad who had just awakened He told my Mom you know Padre Pio was standing right next to me when I was out.True story. My grandfather lived to be 97.

    I grew up in the post-Vatican II church and I never felt anything for it. During COVID lockdowns, I started praying and somehow discovered the TLM and for the first time in my life, I loved attending Mass. I found a traditional Latin Mass parish and joined, and I even went to confession after 45 years of being away. I love the Traditional Latin Mass, and I actually thank God for COVID, because it brought me back to the faith. If you never been to a TLM, find one and you will fall in love with Catholicism.

      I am in love with Catholicism already without the TLM. People have different stories and backgrounds. I am happy for you guys if your spirituality is deepened with the TLM. Good for you. But God also appeals and talks to other people through the norvus ordo, I included. So to each his own. God bless you all

      @@rebeccaoprea9917 "Christ , not religion" You're just ignoring the fact the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church is the original that compilated the very Bible and thay Jesus founded and promised to St. Peter (St. Matthew 16,16-19) who became the first Pope, and trying ridiculously to change the meaning of "religion" to say you don't have one, while you do have, just in hopes to sound more "alternative" and "truthful". This is a horrible way to choose hell instead of Christ I tell you.

      @@rebeccaoprea9917 I think Shia, and the sinful ego he had built up, needed the pageantry and authoritative corporate structure of the RCC to come to Christ; or maybe better said, Christ used them as effective tools at the exact right time to draw Shia to Him. Maybe his story will be used to bring others in similar situation into the same realizations, and be used by the Spirit for more good. I get what you're saying, I have my list of qualms a mile long with the Corporate church known as the RCC (as well as those corporate churchs known by other names, to be fair), but I think everyone truly full of the Spirit will eventually be drawn to the Catholic understanding in the original sense of the strict definition of the word: Universal. Christ is King and all is His in the end; what is good is good and all evil will be cast into the outer darkness at the final judgment.

      I think he has a deep connection with God's grace *through* the Catholic Church. Might seem like mincing words but it was Jesus Himself sending His Spirit to this soul to save him and to bring God's glory to earth...as He has done for thousands of years.. And since Shia was malleable to the Spirit, God can use him to share this faith with a wider audience through this movie. May souls be cracked open to the love of God! Peace.
