Knowles is my favorite personality at the Daily Wire because of his reasonable takes. Also I would not downplay how funny he is.
I love Knowles' pro-life work.
Discuss ideas, good, bad, constructive or dangerous, no ad hominems. That's how you avoid "personal" detractions. But sometimes people embrace and identify with and promote and impose bad destructive ideas on other people. Then you'll know them by their fruits, then detraction is a must to protect the innocent and defenseless.
To be clear - name calling would probably fall under the sin of reviling. The definition of detraction is unnecessarily revealing something true about someone that damages his reputation. Eg: you know that your neighbor is having a secret affair, and you tell everyone on the block about it. You have sinned mortally because you spread the news of someone’s secret mortal sin without any reason for them knowing.
I would also note that revealing something nefarious about a civil leader that is important to a voter in a representative democracy/republic like ours is different as well. If you’re revealing things just for the heck of it, it’s very different than talking about how a politician is corrupt/into bad things. We SHOULD expect our leaders to be upstanding citizens and not corrupt, but sadly, most of them are.
@@Jerds Yep. Detraction is a type of gossip, which in the Biblical sense, means revealing secrets. So, telling people about things that have been made public information are okay as well. Also, of course, we should reveal major crimes, like if we witness a murder, to the police for the sake of justice.
Detraction is basically gossip.
Well, I doubt most people will care very much about their neighbors personal lives. But if your neighbor is a child rapist or mass murderer, I would like to know that, I do not wish to live near somebody like that, so someone going around telling everyone that "hey this person is a rapist" and its true, I don't see that as a bad thing at all, even if it falls under the definition of "detraction"
@@RonanAquilius You missed the operative word in the definition - “unnecessarily.” If you know that your neighbor is getting drunk and beating his wife and kids, you need to call the police. That is not detraction because there was a serious and necessary reason for revealing the information. Gossiping about someone’s adultery is not gravely necessary.
The ideal combination of strong masculinity, virtues and the Truth is exemplified in Michael.
I love how Our Blessed Lord Jesus is glorified in his strength of character. We need more men like him.
Knowles performs better in his reservation than Matt Walsh.
I feel like he hits harder when he does, though. Or at least more painfully drives the wedge.
I love Walsh when he's not acting belligerent and harshly. I usually like his sense of authority and simplicity, but sometimes he's brazen to the point of obscenity. I was shocked when I learned he was also Catholic.
@@sandstorm7768 pointing out insanity is not harsh. It's necessary.
He knows a lot more about Catholicism than Walsh does
Thank you for asking! I've been watching more and more Daily Wire, but unnecessary anger or detraction has been a big reservation of mine.
Meh. You can't really commit detraction against public leaders. If they are corrupt, it must come to light.
In the book 'filotea' written by Saint Francis of Salles' there is an entre chapter talkink about revealing and critizing other peoples errors. There tou can see when os rigth to do It and when It is not
You had a stroke at the end there.
"You can see where it is right to do it and when it is not"?
@@HolyKhaaaaan you can see when it is right to do talk bad thing about others, and when it is not.
Michael Knowles is saint material. Just putting it put there.
Also, exelent interview.
My goodness half of the people in the comments section are grade A buzzkills. I hope you guys have some barrier cream for your soft skin.
Someone who is not Catholic cannot be hereteic. That is what our doctrine teaches.
4:58 I would say there was in fact no child pornography on that ad.
Why? Because a BDSM couple may be a fertile couple and have a child.
That child should obviously keep a safe distance from _real_ BDSM (and one picture shows here at a safe distance from the table with very realistic handcuffs), but should also get some understanding that this is not because the parents hate each other (explains her toy animal with strap-ons).
So, if you ask me, the child was never in fact sexualised.
I happen to have _some_ acquaintance with BDSM people. They are definitely not (at least not typically) into child porn. (Not saying those that are cannot be into BDSM too and often are - but that they are not typical of the BDSM community).

Talmud *cough *cough
Riveting talk!
Tries to be sympathetic and not give into anger...yet Knowles is pro-torture on non-US citizens?
His standards are not making sense to me.
I will say, Michael is generally gentile and articulate, and I quite like that of him. Matt Walsh conversely is blunt and often quite funny, but also often goes far too harshly sometimes. Would not blame someone for being turned away from Catholicism due to his obstinancy alone. I was actually astounded when I first learnt Walsh was also Catholic.
He takes after Saint Nicholas!
Knowles is definitely a Gentile. He is well known to be Italian. He is also quite a genteel fellow
I wouldn't be surprised, everyone are such a snowflake today they get turned off my anything.
I just find Knowles a bit too vitriolic. Too acidic and biting in his criticisms.
Funny enough I see him to be the most approachable in the dailywire, his chastisement is not condescending
Literally first
Peter Defeated the comment section. Congrats!
@@saturdaysolitude7800 oh yeah! Ha! Nice one
The first will be the last 😅
@@gxhcbchchvfhbxsddvp96trg oh no! You are right.
Well, after you.
it is and Knowles is bad. don't interview him
Ironic lol
In saying this, as you yourself not doing what you accuse Knowles of?
@@leog.2283 detraction would be revealing unknown faults. those of Knowles are known.
