@@angelacross2216 thank you, I think that for the average lay person all you can do is make sure your family gets to heaven and start local Catholic Communities. We have to work as hard as possible in the places that the Lord has given us power.
Great topic. Children learn from their parents and need to learn obedience. Hebrews 13:17 states that we obey the authorities God put over us. The Church combines this with Luke 10:16 to teach that we have to obey the pope’s and bishop’s teachings. We are then protected by Matthew 16:18-19. What value is a father if he disobeys the bishop? If he constantly bad mouths the pope? Why be surprised how a child turns out when the parent is a disobedient child themself?
I love your work Brian and I respect you, but I feel you really underrepresent (straw man) those who disagree with Vatican 2. Namely, the SSPX position. You accurately retell the politics between the NT crowd like Rahner Et Al, and the “traditionalists”. But you conflate that with the history of politicking of other councils. I would contend with a simple observation that my priests (SSPX) continue to point out; that in three essential doctrines (Collegiality, Religious Liberty, and a confused notion of ecumenism) we have on paper introduced novelty (new) doctrines in the church, that were contradictory to its immediate past (the pontificates of Pius XII and the 150 years before him). Also, failing to point out that after this council, and I admit not necessarily connected to it, were the creation of 7 new rites of sacraments, which in their theology it could be easily concluded either obfuscate or contradict the doctrines which they are supposed to reflect. I believe God’s Providence will always shine through, but it seems really dumbfoundingly obvious that the doctrinal novelties at V2 on those three points, and liturgical creations from the 70’s, prove that we are indeed facing Arian Crisis levels. I think every good Catholic needs to struggle with the concepts of those three doctrines and recognise what Catholic Tradition vs the Council and the current pontificate says about them, at a minimum. We are indeed in a time objectively worse than the Arian heresy, since Arians only denied one doctrine, and changed no liturgical practice that I’m aware of. Respectfully, a brother in Christ.
The only thing traditional about the SSPX is Dioscorus. He was patriarch of Alexandria and held his own fake council. This resulted in the Patriarch of Constantinople being arrested by the emperor and was assassinated while in their custody. Pope Leo the Great then held the ecumenical council of Chalcedon and ended up excommunicating Dioscorus because he did two things: - he judged Pope Leo the Great as a heretic and tried to excommunicate him (See Constantinople IV canon 21) - he rejected the ecumenical council of Chalcedon This is the SSPX and SSPV tradition. There isn’t one tradition that allows a bishop to reject an ecumenical council. We don’t see anyone rejecting Jerusalem in Acts 15. No, we see St Paul teaching unity. The only tradition in this is schism.
@@paulmualdeave5063 if you can harmonize the teachings he mentioned in the council with its contradiction to what was always taught before it, we'd like to hear it. Otherwise youre engaging in blind obedience to a novel teaching which was never said to be infallibly taught. And you are accusing someone of a grave sin when none exists. What chalcedon infallibly taught is easily reconciled with the faith of all time. What some parts of V2 non-infallibly taught... is very very difficult or impossible to harmonize. It's why nobody ever debates them. They just lob "scism" at them.
Looking at the careers and public statements of the men Francis has promoted to positions of authority, one would expect them to elect Francis +++. The difference of this crisis from the others is that the teaching of the Tradition concerning prayer, morals, and governance are being changed
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the Church's challenges today, but claiming this is the worst crisis ever overlooks history and undermines trust in God’s providence. The Church has weathered persecution, schisms, heresies, and even periods of corruption-yet it has always emerged purified and stronger. Christ’s promise remains: “The gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). What we need now is not despair or division but faith, trust, and unity. Archbishop Fulton Sheen reminds us, “Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests, and not our religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church.” This starts with whole, faithful families living out the Gospel. Instead of worrying about the future, let’s focus on strengthening our domestic churches, trusting in God’s plan, and building unity within the Body of Christ. “Be not afraid” (John Paul II). God has guided His Church through far darker times, and He will guide us now
Then why did JPII himself warn us about the anti-Church and Archbishop Sheen warn us of the Ape of the Church? They knew being aware isn’t being divisive. Odd that critics of this video use these two examples, who as good shepherds actually believed you need to warn the faithful. Ironic. Imitate them indeed and trust God while you warn others - as they did!
@@paulperrone4698 I truly value Brian’s content-it’s why I’m here. Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), and his work challenges us to grow in faith. I agree that addressing challenges in the Church is important, and St. John Paul II and Archbishop Fulton Sheen offered prophetic warnings to guide the faithful. However, their warnings were never meant to scatter but to unite the flock under Christ, the Good Shepherd (John 10:11). To discern where the line between scattering and unity lies, we must rely on Catholic tradition and leadership. Most importantly, we must first guide the flock entrusted to us-our families, the domestic church-where we have the greatest power to strengthen the Body of Christ. Happy Advent! brother! Pray for me and all of us this season as we prepare for the joy of Christmas. God bless!
@@kinsmarts2217 This is actually a very good point. It's very jarring to live through even minor crises as opposed to reading about them long after they have been successfully traversed. Thank you. 😊
I think this is worse than Arianism. Even those places that were "arian" were probably mostly pagan the whole time, same with "Catholic" countries, even well into the 7th century, and the 8th. Really it was just the nobility (chieftains and entourages) and not all the nobility would even be Arian necessarily, in the case of the Burgundians and maybe the Visigoths (one converted to Catholicism and was martyred for it.) It might have even been more of a political choice on the part of the chieftains as well. Unless I'm missing something, it just doesn't seem as difficult.
@bobbylewis2 That is certainly a fair critique if you take the numbers of gay clergy seriously then it would certainly be worse. It is very interesting how in this insane crisis how much traditional orthodox Catholicism has grown. I fear it may be the Holy Spirit giving us the support we will need as the crisis gets worse.
Thank you, Brian, for a very eirnic video. It's not just the Church that is in turmoil these days, but the Church is the only place, inmho as a long-time--I'm 78--student of history, that a solution is possible.
@@uncle_Samssubjects Packed by who ? Some of you just open your mouth a say things that confirm your bias. In fact the college of cardinals we have is potentially the most Conservative it has ever been but you wouldn't know that because the sources you listen to would focus on few cardinals and by inferences tar others with same brush. Most new cardinals are coming from periphery and they tend to be culturally more Conservative so where is lie coming from ?
It’s Jesus Church He permits sin and He will judge His Church not us, We need to pray for it and the Clergy.The Church survived all corrupt ion .We should sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament every day and pray to Him for His Church .St.Pio, said “Pray hope and don’t worry “He was persecuted by the Church remained obedient and later became a Saint .St Pio pray for us. The Church is Not a democracy never was never will be. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen
Ehh, plenty of priests and historians disagree with you. We've had many dark times but nothing has been this bad. You may have had x bad pope or x scandal in history but today we have an issue on virtually every facet of the Church. Maybe the Arian crisis compares but the Church was young then & not really comparable to today. I am discerning for the priesthood and had a priest who's also an author tell me the other day to seriously consider whether or not i'm spiritually ready to participate in the internal war happening in the Church. As many have said, the Church is going through her Passion.
@@revelation20232 The problem with your theory is all the accusations against Pope Francis have been debunked. Not only this, it is proven that Pope Francis is constantly slandered. What is troubling is people that call themselves Catholic, yet have no desire to give his defense a chance or see Pope Francis as innocent of these endless accusations.
One more thing I wrote down my the spiritual process from reconversion through to recieving the grace of Mystic Union. In my attempt to simplify many of our teaching for the good of non Catholic people who may come to read it I am afraid I need another person to review and determine if my simplifications may cross the line into heresy. I can also explain why I believe Bergoglio was incapable of ascending to the papacy going back to when he was the head of the Jesuit seminary in South America. Robert
12:15 bis As to Vatican I, I agree there was some rowdiness involved at the last session. But it was not provided by the Fathers victorious at the Council. And as you mention suspensions, perhaps, if "John XXIII" had been Pope, his best option if "Vatican II" had been a council would have been to suspend it over the frankly quarrels, so the issue could be discussed again at a later point with more calm. Trent was not swayed by those quarrels. The Galileo judgement in 1633 was not swayed by Galileo's personal indelicacy or even insult (though hidden from the public) against his former friend and now Pope. You see, Urban VIII was not part of the judges, and his relative, another Cardinal Barberini, while on the trial, did not sign the condemnation.
8:00 No, the reason the Protestant Reformation happened is: * powerful people had for over a century believed in Realpolitik and in the Church taking hands off politics, and Protestantism seemed more accomodating; * printing press was far less democratic than the internet, so, someone could explain, whatever he wanted, and sometimes the one trying to respond had no printing press, for instance in Sweden, the Carthusians introduced the first press, the first book printed in Swedish was on the Rosary, but then Gustav Wasa confiscated the press and gave it to the Reformers. The Protestant Reformations happened for reasons similar to the Communist Revolutions. Some people are powerhungry. Some powerhungry people can monopolise the discourse (like I see some are trying to bring my viewer stats down). And powerhungry people who monopolise the discourse can afford to lie. And to do so so successfully that action on social levels ensues.
Protestantism occurred because the medieval popes were insanely sinful and lazy gluttons who just wanted to amass power. Rome is to blame for Protestantism, but thank God they did, it’s one of the few places you can find actual faith.
12:15 I hope you aren't pushing some parallel between Azteks and Israelites. And neither the Azteks nor the Incas fell to large Spanish armies. Both fell to small expedition forces, and in the case of the Azteks, Tenochtitlan was actually more taken by people who had been ruled by Azteks and saw the Spaniards as God-sent or gods-sent relief, than by the Spanish themselves. That's part of why the taking of Tenochtitlan was so bloody. No, the Conquest of Méjico doesn't mark the Catholic Church as corrupt. At that point in history.
I've heard people speak of the council factions, but not that being the reason for V2 being bad. I hear people speak of the documents themselves, which are pretty bad.
I've been telling myself, find where the eucharist is and you'll be ok . Although since the pandemic I noticed that there is a cavalilarity around the alter I find disturbing . I started see it when they offered Communion services instead of the Mass . While the pandemic was in full swing.
pope damasus i obtained the papacy in one of the most violent means. and he will be remembered more for promulgating the canon of the bible we all use of whose canon was crystallized by jerome's latin vulgate. moreover, it was during his pontificate that the emperor gratian gave up the title of pontifex maximus, and this office and title passed on and was recognized by the edict of thessalonika under theodosius in 381 before the opening of the first council of constantinople
6:02 My problem with the "Council" is not that they were politicking. Or fighting. St. Nicholas punching Arius would absolutely not make Nicaea I invalid. My problem is: * it's legality, if any to start, was broken * wrong side won. Not just episcopates that were already rife with Evolution belief, bad enough, sufficient to ask if they were really Catholic, and as far as my closer look is concerned, to conclude they weren't, if they had Catholic Church authority it was because someone in Rome was supplying the authority or more precisely jurisdiction which ontologically they could not carry in their persons. But one of these episcopates, victorious in the supposed Council, that of the Netherlands, had 12 men castrated for homosexuality over simply getting them to prison, and in the case of Henk Heithuis illegally, to cover up for his accusations he had been abused. In other words, the papacy _you_ are following is not that of Pope St. Damasus. You are more like a follower of Ursinus. Or, for the papacy of Innocent II, like a follower of Anacletus II. You mentioned abiding by Church law and making things up. There was a faction that absolutely didn't let Church law stop their agenda. They prevailed in "Vatican II" by breaking the legality of the council, supposing "John XXIII" even was Pope. They prevailed against actual council texts and Church laws by twisting and bullying, as the prevalence of hand communion for decades has shown. A story you might know a thing or two about.
I didn’t leave the Catholic Church, bit by bit by bit it left me. I don’t really recognise it anymore. I attend a traditional church. If it ever detaches from the modern church I will go with it.
For once, I agree with you. We must have faith in the Church. I was not there to witness the crises of the past; I can only speak from my limited perspective of what is happening now. The Church is alive. It is growing, it is changing. A human life is too brief a timespan to fully comprehend that growth. Faith in the Church and open dialogue among the faithful are our only guarantees of remaining true to its mission. Fear of growth leads to stagnation and a zombie-like cult that looks only backward in time, becoming a stifling fundamentalism for the human heart, mind, and spirit. We need not look far to see its effects
Looking forward won't help us. Looking forward and accommodation got us here in the first place. Tradition is the anchor that will help us during these turbulent times. The other denominations laugh at us and call us pedophiles, forgetting that we built the dogmas and the western world they live in.
The worst crisis was when the church leaders killed the Son Of God. It can’t get any worse than that. His grace was sufficient then and is sufficient now in this crisis!
@The Church was the Jewish Synagogue and its leaders executed Jesus. After Pentecost the Catholic Church was born. The disciples of Jesus suffered through a crisis that was more terrible than any of us will ever face.
I'm spiritually depressed. I'll remain obedient. I'll fulfill my duties and I'll work to improve my faith and devotion, but there is no happiness. I know God loves me, but I dread what he will do to me for my own good.
For example, I pray the rosary daily but I learned the Luminous mysteries were only established very recently. Is this a false faith or am I misunderstood in my comprehension of the 'troubles' of the modern church? I am trying to absorb as much as possible right now and worry about learning something incorrect and damning. Literature is most welcome, as well as citation. Bless you all
Read the gospel of John and stop worrying. Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus; the overall state of the church is his responsibility (as opposed to your tiny corner of it).
7:33 You are comparing incomparables. Stating a Pope is not a Pope _because he is a sinner_ is wrong, it's a heresy like Novatianism, Donatism, Lollardism, possibly Hussitism. By the way, one reason I'm conclavist and not just sedevacantist is that sedevacantists blocking an emergency conclave often hold to Materialiter non Formaliter, which I see as a revival in a slightly new form. _"We cannot judge his faith"_ (we could by taking his word for it, i e for believing "God is not a Demiurge with an Omnipotent Magic Wand" and things), _"but we can say that by lack of charity"_ (i e a mortal sin) _"he is not intending to give the Church the direction of the Catholic faith"_ OK, what is greater? To say he is a heretic, or to say he is a Catholic who with diabolic hypocrisy intends to get every Catholic except himself into heresy and damnation? _"and therefore he is not formally the Pope"_ In other words, they say that through a mortal sin (the only thing they think they can judge, pretending heresy is above their paygrade) he has lost (at least temporarily) the use of his office. I think even temporal loss of office for mortal sin was already condemned about Lollards and (possibly) Hussites. I think this happened already in Constance. However, the proposal I am making is, he's a heretic. The "Popes" who had Cantalamessa as chaplain and who believed Evolution and Heliocentrism up to this day, are heretics. A bishop can exercise episcopal authority up to when he's judged for heresy, because the Pope is supplying the lacking authority for the interval. A Pope who has no Pope over himself cannot. Loss or non-accession to office for heresy is not just not condemned, but both Vatican I and St. Francis of Sales explicitly taught this, not ex cathedra, but when answering questions. So, to correct myself, Vatican I did not teach it in the canons, but certainly the Council fathers did think this when in a pause the question came up. Dimond brothers may be bad at reading a decision from Trent that contradicts them, like "aut voto ejus" (or the desire of it, i e of Baptism), but they are not bad historians or liars, as far as I can make out. If Paul III was a sinner when he convoked Trent doesn't matter at all. That he reformed his life is a probable good fruit of the Council. As to the political situation, you have not shown that Trent was engaging in cabales resulting in opponents to the canons being silenced well before they were voted (like Cardinal Ottaviani was silenced more than once). You have not shown that the Council assembling at Trento nel Alto Adige (or Trent in Südtirol) behaved like a crowd of football supporters against each other or against a team among them. There was no change of culture to simple mob brutality in the procedings of that certainly valid and trustworthy council.
Luther was a hot mess, used by the politicians of his day, to advance their kingdoms. He lived to see the disastrous results of his “sola” theology. May God have mercy on him, and all of us.
If Pope Francis’s critics would listen to his defenders they would love him. I used to listen to his critics until I found that he is constantly slandered. The information is out there. One day he very well could be made a saint. There are already miracles the Church will need to look into.
I have come back to the faith and was jumping from church to church looking for a Priest who was not woke failed miserably and was traveling further and further away. Until one search I arrived at mass to late to enter and went home and asked God what is it you are telling me. I now go to Church to worship God and not looking for a parish of mans church but worship in mass for GOD
The reason the church is imperfect is because the body that makes her is. If it were imperfect and had no flaws, there would be no need of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, negating the churches reason for existence. It's easy to judge the previous generation's faith because time has revealed their glory and their failings. And while I loathe the over use of this phrase, I feel it fits here-"do not judge lest ye be judged accordingly (or something close to that). Personally I'm glad God is God and I am not. I don't think I'd do a very good job.
The presence of bad prelates requires lay Catholics to know the faith, like they should have always known it. The laity needs to be as knowledgeable of the faith as their priests. Bad prelates can't take your faith away from you.
Isn’t it peculiar that people would question the Catholic Church and its teachings to start a protestant reformation, when it was the faithful themselves who needed to be reformed? I think it’s sad that people would blame the Catholic Church for things that bad Catholics who hold positions of service teach. If Catholics we’re actually practicing their faith back in those times, they would give that gentle correction needed to their leaders, who are really serving them, rather than do their own will
First of all the Catholic Church is really small, c Catholic Church. I’ve been a Catholic for 77 years and it’s way too human. So why would anybody expect perfection from a church filled with human beings? Doctrines of the church or important the Bibles important. The Christian faith is important. And when we get to entangled in the Catholic controversies, it takes away from our love of Jesus in my humble opinion.
In the case of the existance of an anti-pope, we should just wait and pray, event Saint Vincent Ferrer supported the wrong pope, it would not be something easily resolved, but I dont really think an anti-pope is a real threat.
corruption is always present in the Church even at the time of Christ. Imagine one of the apostles sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.! but the Church is still here standing strong. That is because of the HOLY SPIRIT holding it together. It will never break as God promise to the end of time. AMEN.!
If you quote prophecies, be kind and reference which one. Perhaps include the Magisterium's guidance (CCC 67) on said prophecies. Too many quote condemned ones by accident.
Worst that an empire persecuting you to death? You all are just absolute in your paradigms. As our master of Star Wars said… Only the w Sith deal their truths in absolutes…
Its true thst every crisis in terrible in its own unique way but no need to get overly dramatic. This is nowhere close to being the 'worst crisis' facing the church in any way shape or form, as anything you can say about the church today can easily find a parallel 10x worse somewher in its 2000yr history, even in combination! Does the current time lead to a darker future? Perhaps it does, but that is not our problem to solve. Stay personally faithful today, leave tomorrow to the Lord!
Bergoglio the supposed pope is routinely teaching heresy. This sets up a logical contradiction that represents an existential threat to the supernatural claims of Christianity.
@@bruno-bnvm Let me see if I got this. In the west, you have the traditionalists and the modernists. The traditionalists, who rally around the traditional latin mass, are demographically small but growing and consist of the most devoted followers. On the other hand are the modernists, who currently dominate leadership, and embody the Vatican II spirit. However, the fruits of Vatican II are declining attendance, cafeteria Catholicism etc. The traditionalists can't leave because that would be the archetypal Protestant thing to do, and they (the Traditionalists) are trying to defend traditional (Pre Vatican II) teaching. Going Sedevacantist would be a bridge too far for most, even if there's a large degree of tacit support for them. So it's an impasse.
After watching this makes me less of a Advocate as I once was of the TLM because only a select few can attend . The majority of faithful Devout Catholics in the Church today have access only to the NO mass and it doesn't matter which one a Catholic attends they can become a Great Saint .
Wow. Yeah, you seem more protestant understanding now, that you yourself see a little at a small scale, what it was for those, who protested against anything wrong with a church. They were burned alive, what are your consequences for standing up against, what you feel is the worst state of church.
You are using zoom? Hahahaha. I found that very, very, very interesting. Investigate the app and the owner and their relationship with the traditional doctrine… I guess the application of certain things depends on the double standards of the people that decides if something fits their needs or not… Shame!
Careful Brian. Perhaps in that statement you should have said you speculated whether, given the crisis, you had considered "joining a denomination", NOT as you said, "joining another denomination" - the Catholic Church is not, and never has been, a denomination. It is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm a Roman Catholic. I was interested in the topic, but this is meandering nonsense. There's no structure, no clear message . He's waffling on to himself.
The first charism of a Catholic is obedience. No faithful Catholic puts themselves above the legitimate Authority of the Church. You have done a beautiful, faithful expose of the Church in the modern age. I pray more of us follow your example.
So what? I guess everything could be dismissed with so what no matter what (but for those that are open enough to consider it possible that they are wrong about Catholicism being "the one true church with the fullness of faith and truth" this crisis would be another chunk of evidence to the contrary). If absolutely nothing can be used as evidence against exclusive Catholic claims, then what is the point of dialogue with other Christians in regards to exclusive ecclesiastical and authority claims? At some point some will break free from what they perceive to be (and what in fact seems to be) endless popesplaining and churchsplaining.
Maybe because you seek to calumniate him? The very point of the video is that even in that level of crisis good fruitful things happened, and therefore we should remain trusting the Holy Spirit to guide His Church
I think every baptised catholic should get a vote, every country gets a fixed amount of points and cardinals should be able to receive money from corporations to campaign.
The winds and devils are certainly howling, but Christ prevails.

Imitate them indeed and trust God while you warn others - as they did!
People who like to declare that "this is the worst crisis ever" just downplay any other previous crisis only because they already know their outcomes.
@@paulperrone4698 I truly value Brian’s content-it’s why I’m here. Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17), and his work challenges us to grow in faith.
I agree that addressing challenges in the Church is important, and St. John Paul II and Archbishop Fulton Sheen offered prophetic warnings to guide the faithful. However, their warnings were never meant to scatter but to unite the flock under Christ, the Good Shepherd (John 10:11). To discern where the line between scattering and unity lies, we must rely on Catholic tradition and leadership. Most importantly, we must first guide the flock entrusted to us-our families, the domestic church-where we have the greatest power to strengthen the Body of Christ.
Happy Advent! brother! Pray for me and all of us this season as we prepare for the joy of Christmas. God bless!
Agree. Don't forget to pray for persecuted and declining church as well
@@kinsmarts2217 This is actually a very good point. It's very jarring to live through even minor crises as opposed to reading about them long after they have been successfully traversed. Thank you. 😊
Thanks Brian. You’re a good man.
I think this crisis is close to the worst that there has ever been. However I don’t think many modern people realize how serious the Arian Heresy was.
Yes but this is certainly pretty bad too
I think this is worse than Arianism. Even those places that were "arian" were probably mostly pagan the whole time, same with "Catholic" countries, even well into the 7th century, and the 8th. Really it was just the nobility (chieftains and entourages) and not all the nobility would even be Arian necessarily, in the case of the Burgundians and maybe the Visigoths (one converted to Catholicism and was martyred for it.) It might have even been more of a political choice on the part of the chieftains as well. Unless I'm missing something, it just doesn't seem as difficult.
I read somewhere that with the Arian Heresy about 1/2 the churches went over into Arianism. That's pretty bad.
@bobbylewis2 That is certainly a fair critique if you take the numbers of gay clergy seriously then it would certainly be worse. It is very interesting how in this insane crisis how much traditional orthodox Catholicism has grown. I fear it may be the Holy Spirit giving us the support we will need as the crisis gets worse.
@@dearoldbiddy1363 I think if you take the high estimates of gay clergy in positions of power that might be worse
Thank you, Brian, for a very eirnic video. It's not just the Church that is in turmoil these days, but the Church is the only place, inmho as a long-time--I'm 78--student of history, that a solution is possible.
Thank you, Brian, for this hopeful message. 'Tis the perfect season for hope and joy!
Doctrine, liturgy, and even the very wording of certain prayers are changing. So, yes, it matters.
Keep in mind that the College of Cardinals has been packed.
Packed? At this point you could confidently say that he tailored it by hand.
@@uncle_Samssubjects Packed by who ? Some of you just open your mouth a say things that confirm your bias. In fact the college of cardinals we have is potentially the most Conservative it has ever been but you wouldn't know that because the sources you listen to would focus on few cardinals and by inferences tar others with same brush. Most new cardinals are coming from periphery and they tend to be culturally more Conservative so where is lie coming from ?
Keep in mind we submit to the pope per Hebrews 13:17 and Luke 10:16. Our ecumenical councils confirm this.
Matthew 16:18-19
May Urban VI and Paul III pray for us
Great talk!
It’s Jesus Church He permits sin and He will judge His Church not us, We need to pray for it and the Clergy.The Church survived all corrupt ion .We should sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament every day and pray to Him for His Church .St.Pio, said “Pray hope and don’t worry “He was persecuted by the Church remained obedient and later became a Saint .St Pio pray for us. The Church is Not a democracy never was never will be. O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen
*looks back in history* - haha; no - this is not the only great crisis we have found ourselves in.
Ehh, plenty of priests and historians disagree with you. We've had many dark times but nothing has been this bad. You may have had x bad pope or x scandal in history but today we have an issue on virtually every facet of the Church. Maybe the Arian crisis compares but the Church was young then & not really comparable to today. I am discerning for the priesthood and had a priest who's also an author tell me the other day to seriously consider whether or not i'm spiritually ready to participate in the internal war happening in the Church. As many have said, the Church is going through her Passion.
Francis is the only Pope who has denied the Faith and actually tries to destroy the Church.
@@revelation20232
The problem with your theory is all the accusations against Pope Francis have been debunked. Not only this, it is proven that Pope Francis is constantly slandered. What is troubling is people that call themselves Catholic, yet have no desire to give his defense a chance or see Pope Francis as innocent of these endless accusations.
One more thing I wrote down my the spiritual process from reconversion through to recieving the grace of Mystic Union. In my attempt to simplify many of our teaching for the good of non Catholic people who may come to read it I am afraid I need another person to review and determine if my simplifications may cross the line into heresy. I can also explain why I believe Bergoglio was incapable of ascending to the papacy going back to when he was the head of the Jesuit seminary in South America. Robert
12:15 bis As to Vatican I, I agree there was some rowdiness involved at the last session. But it was not provided by the Fathers victorious at the Council.
And as you mention suspensions, perhaps, if "John XXIII" had been Pope, his best option if "Vatican II" had been a council would have been to suspend it over the frankly quarrels, so the issue could be discussed again at a later point with more calm.
Trent was not swayed by those quarrels. The Galileo judgement in 1633 was not swayed by Galileo's personal indelicacy or even insult (though hidden from the public) against his former friend and now Pope. You see, Urban VIII was not part of the judges, and his relative, another Cardinal Barberini, while on the trial, did not sign the condemnation.
This dude reminds me of the guy in Mr Burns' baseball team that drank too much nerve tonic
I like how you thought about this.
Bless you and your family ❤
Thank you that was very encouraging.
8:00 No, the reason the Protestant Reformation happened is:
* powerful people had for over a century believed in Realpolitik and in the Church taking hands off politics, and Protestantism seemed more accomodating;
* printing press was far less democratic than the internet, so, someone could explain, whatever he wanted, and sometimes the one trying to respond had no printing press, for instance in Sweden, the Carthusians introduced the first press, the first book printed in Swedish was on the Rosary, but then Gustav Wasa confiscated the press and gave it to the Reformers.
The Protestant Reformations happened for reasons similar to the Communist Revolutions. Some people are powerhungry. Some powerhungry people can monopolise the discourse (like I see some are trying to bring my viewer stats down). And powerhungry people who monopolise the discourse can afford to lie. And to do so so successfully that action on social levels ensues.
Protestantism occurred because the medieval popes were insanely sinful and lazy gluttons who just wanted to amass power.
Rome is to blame for Protestantism, but thank God they did, it’s one of the few places you can find actual faith.
Uno reverse card yourself lol
12:15 I hope you aren't pushing some parallel between Azteks and Israelites.
And neither the Azteks nor the Incas fell to large Spanish armies. Both fell to small expedition forces, and in the case of the Azteks, Tenochtitlan was actually more taken by people who had been ruled by Azteks and saw the Spaniards as God-sent or gods-sent relief, than by the Spanish themselves. That's part of why the taking of Tenochtitlan was so bloody.
No, the Conquest of Méjico doesn't mark the Catholic Church as corrupt. At that point in history.
I've heard people speak of the council factions, but not that being the reason for V2 being bad.
I hear people speak of the documents themselves, which are pretty bad.
Yes ,the battle is won , live with confidence in salvation ❤
what is he talking about? how about stating the issue
I've been telling myself, find where the eucharist is and you'll be ok . Although since the pandemic I noticed that there is a cavalilarity around the alter I find disturbing . I started see it when they offered Communion services instead of the Mass . While the pandemic was in full swing.
pope damasus i obtained the papacy in one of the most violent means. and he will be remembered more for promulgating the canon of the bible we all use of whose canon was crystallized by jerome's latin vulgate. moreover, it was during his pontificate that the emperor gratian gave up the title of pontifex maximus, and this office and title passed on and was recognized by the edict of thessalonika under theodosius in 381 before the opening of the first council of constantinople
6:02 My problem with the "Council" is not that they were politicking. Or fighting. St. Nicholas punching Arius would absolutely not make Nicaea I invalid.
My problem is:
* it's legality, if any to start, was broken
* wrong side won.
Not just episcopates that were already rife with Evolution belief, bad enough, sufficient to ask if they were really Catholic, and as far as my closer look is concerned, to conclude they weren't, if they had Catholic Church authority it was because someone in Rome was supplying the authority or more precisely jurisdiction which ontologically they could not carry in their persons.
But one of these episcopates, victorious in the supposed Council, that of the Netherlands, had 12 men castrated for homosexuality over simply getting them to prison, and in the case of Henk Heithuis illegally, to cover up for his accusations he had been abused.
In other words, the papacy _you_ are following is not that of Pope St. Damasus. You are more like a follower of Ursinus. Or, for the papacy of Innocent II, like a follower of Anacletus II.
You mentioned abiding by Church law and making things up. There was a faction that absolutely didn't let Church law stop their agenda. They prevailed in "Vatican II" by breaking the legality of the council, supposing "John XXIII" even was Pope. They prevailed against actual council texts and Church laws by twisting and bullying, as the prevalence of hand communion for decades has shown. A story you might know a thing or two about.
13:09 I think Pope Michael II agrees with you encouragement.
Not just the specifics on where it applies.
I didn’t leave the Catholic Church, bit by bit by bit it left me. I don’t really recognise it anymore. I attend a traditional church. If it ever detaches from the modern church I will go with it.
That’s what the prots said
For once, I agree with you. We must have faith in the Church.
I was not there to witness the crises of the past; I can only speak from my limited perspective of what is happening now.
The Church is alive. It is growing, it is changing.
A human life is too brief a timespan to fully comprehend that growth. Faith in the Church and open dialogue among the faithful are our only guarantees of remaining true to its mission.
Fear of growth leads to stagnation and a zombie-like cult that looks only backward in time, becoming a stifling fundamentalism for the human heart, mind, and spirit.
We need not look far to see its effects
Looking forward won't help us. Looking forward and accommodation got us here in the first place. Tradition is the anchor that will help us during these turbulent times. The other denominations laugh at us and call us pedophiles, forgetting that we built the dogmas and the western world they live in.
The worst crisis was when the church leaders killed the Son Of God. It can’t get any worse than that. His grace was sufficient then and is sufficient now in this crisis!
Bruh the Church only started 40 days after that, at Pentecost 🔥🕊️
@The Church was the Jewish Synagogue and its leaders executed Jesus. After Pentecost the Catholic Church was born. The disciples of Jesus suffered through a crisis that was more terrible than any of us will ever face.
I'm spiritually depressed. I'll remain obedient. I'll fulfill my duties and I'll work to improve my faith and devotion, but there is no happiness. I know God loves me, but I dread what he will do to me for my own good.
R s h i w a l. St Pio said Pray hope and don’t worry. Go and sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament often.He is there!
Thank you.
I am in OCIA and very early on in my knowledge. How do I learn the "true" faith amidst all this? All this talk makes me fear I will be misled to hell.
For example, I pray the rosary daily but I learned the Luminous mysteries were only established very recently. Is this a false faith or am I misunderstood in my comprehension of the 'troubles' of the modern church? I am trying to absorb as much as possible right now and worry about learning something incorrect and damning. Literature is most welcome, as well as citation. Bless you all
Read the gospel of John and stop worrying. Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus; the overall state of the church is his responsibility (as opposed to your tiny corner of it).

7:33 You are comparing incomparables.
Stating a Pope is not a Pope _because he is a sinner_ is wrong, it's a heresy like Novatianism, Donatism, Lollardism, possibly Hussitism. By the way, one reason I'm conclavist and not just sedevacantist is that sedevacantists blocking an emergency conclave often hold to Materialiter non Formaliter, which I see as a revival in a slightly new form. _"We cannot judge his faith"_ (we could by taking his word for it, i e for believing "God is not a Demiurge with an Omnipotent Magic Wand" and things), _"but we can say that by lack of charity"_ (i e a mortal sin) _"he is not intending to give the Church the direction of the Catholic faith"_
OK, what is greater? To say he is a heretic, or to say he is a Catholic who with diabolic hypocrisy intends to get every Catholic except himself into heresy and damnation?
_"and therefore he is not formally the Pope"_
In other words, they say that through a mortal sin (the only thing they think they can judge, pretending heresy is above their paygrade) he has lost (at least temporarily) the use of his office. I think even temporal loss of office for mortal sin was already condemned about Lollards and (possibly) Hussites. I think this happened already in Constance.
However, the proposal I am making is, he's a heretic. The "Popes" who had Cantalamessa as chaplain and who believed Evolution and Heliocentrism up to this day, are heretics. A bishop can exercise episcopal authority up to when he's judged for heresy, because the Pope is supplying the lacking authority for the interval. A Pope who has no Pope over himself cannot. Loss or non-accession to office for heresy is not just not condemned, but both Vatican I and St. Francis of Sales explicitly taught this, not ex cathedra, but when answering questions. So, to correct myself, Vatican I did not teach it in the canons, but certainly the Council fathers did think this when in a pause the question came up. Dimond brothers may be bad at reading a decision from Trent that contradicts them, like "aut voto ejus" (or the desire of it, i e of Baptism), but they are not bad historians or liars, as far as I can make out.
If Paul III was a sinner when he convoked Trent doesn't matter at all. That he reformed his life is a probable good fruit of the Council.
As to the political situation, you have not shown that Trent was engaging in cabales resulting in opponents to the canons being silenced well before they were voted (like Cardinal Ottaviani was silenced more than once). You have not shown that the Council assembling at Trento nel Alto Adige (or Trent in Südtirol) behaved like a crowd of football supporters against each other or against a team among them. There was no change of culture to simple mob brutality in the procedings of that certainly valid and trustworthy council.
Yeah, Luther wasn't corrupt.
On Jews and their lies - book my Martin Luther 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
Luther was a hot mess, used by the politicians of his day, to advance their kingdoms. He lived to see the disastrous results of his “sola” theology. May God have mercy on him, and all of us.
If Pope Francis’s critics would listen to his defenders they would love him. I used to listen to his critics until I found that he is constantly slandered. The information is out there. One day he very well could be made a saint. There are already miracles the Church will need to look into.
You didn't even mention the imperial politics behind Ephesus, Chalcedon, etc. that popes had to overcome.
Or the papal politics behind Ephesus, Chalcedon, etc. that the Father’s had to overcome.
I have come back to the faith and was jumping from church to church looking for a Priest who was not woke failed miserably and was traveling further and further away. Until one search I arrived at mass to late to enter and went home and asked God what is it you are telling me. I now go to Church to worship God and not looking for a parish of mans church but worship in mass for GOD
Stating that theres an Anti Pope is not schism when it's a fact .
It is a fact that there is an anti-pope; but Pope Francis ain’t one of them. Pope Francis is the legit successor to St. Peter.
@@swoosh1mil define legit
7:43 can we please stop calling this purposeful schism a "reformation"?
The reason the church is imperfect is because the body that makes her is. If it were imperfect and had no flaws, there would be no need of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, negating the churches reason for existence.
It's easy to judge the previous generation's faith because time has revealed their glory and their failings. And while I loathe the over use of this phrase, I feel it fits here-"do not judge lest ye be judged accordingly (or something close to that).
Personally I'm glad God is God and I am not. I don't think I'd do a very good job.
The presence of bad prelates requires lay Catholics to know the faith, like they should have always known it. The laity needs to be as knowledgeable of the faith as their priests. Bad prelates can't take your faith away from you.
Isn’t it peculiar that people would question the Catholic Church and its teachings to start a protestant reformation, when it was the faithful themselves who needed to be reformed? I think it’s sad that people would blame the Catholic Church for things that bad Catholics who hold positions of service teach.
If Catholics we’re actually practicing their faith back in those times, they would give that gentle correction needed to their leaders, who are really serving them, rather than do their own will
First of all the Catholic Church is really small, c Catholic Church.
I’ve been a Catholic for 77 years and it’s way too human.
So why would anybody expect perfection from a church filled with human beings?
Doctrines of the church or important the Bibles important. The Christian faith is important. And when we get to entangled in the Catholic controversies, it takes away from our love of Jesus in my humble opinion.
Am I the only one who thought he was going to reference the papal schism instead of Saint Damasus?
Ambiguity is handled with CCC 2478
In the case of the existance of an anti-pope, we should just wait and pray, event Saint Vincent Ferrer supported the wrong pope, it would not be something easily resolved, but I dont really think an anti-pope is a real threat.
Lunch bell? My man live in Downton Abbey?
corruption is always present in the Church even at the time of Christ. Imagine one of the apostles sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.! but the Church is still here standing strong. That is because of the HOLY SPIRIT holding it together. It will never break as God promise to the end of time. AMEN.!
tl;dr
"Man's sinfulness is proof that we need Christ, not that we don't."
Let the great french monarch and the pope who is supposed to help him come and bring about Our Lady's time of peace.
If you quote prophecies, be kind and reference which one. Perhaps include the Magisterium's guidance (CCC 67) on said prophecies. Too many quote condemned ones by accident.

Its true thst every crisis in terrible in its own unique way but no need to get overly dramatic. This is nowhere close to being the 'worst crisis' facing the church in any way shape or form, as anything you can say about the church today can easily find a parallel 10x worse somewher in its 2000yr history, even in combination! Does the current time lead to a darker future? Perhaps it does, but that is not our problem to solve. Stay personally faithful today, leave tomorrow to the Lord!
Outside observer here. What is the crisis that Brian is referring to? I think I have an idea, but I'd like to hear it from a lay-person.
Brian is a lay person
A moral crisis.
Bergoglio the supposed pope is routinely teaching heresy. This sets up a logical contradiction that represents an existential threat to the supernatural claims of Christianity.
@@bruno-bnvm Let me see if I got this. In the west, you have the traditionalists and the modernists. The traditionalists, who rally around the traditional latin mass, are demographically small but growing and consist of the most devoted followers.
On the other hand are the modernists, who currently dominate leadership, and embody the Vatican II spirit. However, the fruits of Vatican II are declining attendance, cafeteria Catholicism etc.
The traditionalists can't leave because that would be the archetypal Protestant thing to do, and they (the Traditionalists) are trying to defend traditional (Pre Vatican II) teaching. Going Sedevacantist would be a bridge too far for most, even if there's a large degree of tacit support for them.
So it's an impasse.

Careful Brian. Perhaps in that statement you should have said you speculated whether, given the crisis, you had considered "joining a denomination", NOT as you said, "joining another denomination" - the Catholic Church is not, and never has been, a denomination. It is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Brian I thought we should talk if we are not to talk tell me why you feel it would not be worth your time.
I'm a Roman Catholic. I was interested in the topic, but this is meandering nonsense. There's no structure, no clear message . He's waffling on to himself.
The first charism of a Catholic is obedience. No faithful Catholic puts themselves above the legitimate Authority of the Church. You have done a beautiful, faithful expose of the Church in the modern age. I pray more of us follow your example.
I don't support insubordination but the people like you that puts obedience to such extremes are seriously misguided, it's borderline heretical.
Christianity is subordinate to truth, reality and logic. What you are pushing is not that. Cult leaders push absolute obedience.
Obey vatican II and the ordinary magisterium and stop coping
So what? I guess everything could be dismissed with so what no matter what (but for those that are open enough to consider it possible that they are wrong about Catholicism being "the one true church with the fullness of faith and truth" this crisis would be another chunk of evidence to the contrary). If absolutely nothing can be used as evidence against exclusive Catholic claims, then what is the point of dialogue with other Christians in regards to exclusive ecclesiastical and authority claims? At some point some will break free from what they perceive to be (and what in fact seems to be) endless popesplaining and churchsplaining.
Every institution that fights for the good will face attempts at subversion from Satan and his demons. Expecting a perfect church is foolish.
It's the Novus Ordo false church. Worrying about conclave and new Saints just means you're still being hoodwinked by the Father of Lies!
