What the Pope said in Singapore? Is precisely what I believed after being ensnared by “New Age” philosophy (circa 1980). Blessedly, Our Lord confronted me before I traveled any further down this dangerous road. Kyrie Eleison. (Hebrews 12)🙏🕊🙏
Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6) Jesus was very direct about this.
He is our leader. OUR LEADER SHOULD BE CLEAR. After all these years he still causes controversy. There is one whose goal is to cause chaos and confusion.
Of all the commentators I have heard discussing Pope Francis remarks, this is the clearest explanation of what he said and what the Church actually teaches. Thank you Renewal Ministries and Ralph Martin.
Doubling down, tripling down is it lack of prudence?Is it pride? Never sorry for hurting millions of Christians & never clarifying.? Those people who didn't know Christ will now never turn back, who's responsible? Apology, repentance & attending grade 1 catechism class is what he needs to do. No amount of popesplaining will undo this period. Gal 1:8.
Thank you for your explanation. I believe that the Pope s intention was for unity BUT we cannot sacrifice Jesus teachings to accommodate everyone. Jesus Himself told the apostles if they wanted to leave Him themselves when some found His teaching hard to believe. The Truth is One and it should not stir confusion. I humbly think that the Pope should not give quick or ambiguous answers. let s pray to the Holy Spirit to outpour His light on us all.
Thank you, Ralph Martin. I am a convert from a Protestant evangelical background. I consider myself so very blessed to have been ushered into the “fullness of the faith” by the Holy Spirit, and become Catholic. Pope Francis’ statements continue to upset, confuse, and (frankly) embarrass me. Of all people, he ought to be defending the Church.
Thank you brother Ralph Martin for clarifying regarding salvation according to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. May Jesus Christ be praised and be preached even to the end of the earth. Our Lord Jesus says to go and preach to all nations and baptising those who believe. I was born a pagan and when I heard the gospel preached I rejoiced and except the good news.Praise the Lord. Greeting from Borneo.
It is extremely comforting to hear someone who is faithful to the Truth and to Jesus Christ speak so clearly and without ambiguity. I thank you and appreciate you for speaking to us that way. Your yes is yes, and your no is no. May the Holy Trinity and Our Lady keep blessing you.
Thank you for your clarification on the matter of confusion in the words of Pope Francis in matters of Faith. Pope Francis owes the Church the right to hear the true exposition of the contents of the Deposit of Faith. I find it confusing listening to Pope Francis. For the Church and the salvation of souls... 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Ralph, for articulating the real concerns that many people have about the Pope's recent comments concerning the equality of all religions. Sometimes, I find myself hoping that our next Pope is one who actually believes in the One True Catholic and Apostolic Church. This is troubling.
I truly appreciate your kindness Ralph. I can always count on you to not beat others up, but to share truth with love, which is what Jesus did. Our God is not a God of confusion. This statement speaks for itself. I Trust In You Jesus.❤️🔥
Mr. Martin, I respect you very much. I think your book The Fulfillment of All Desire will go down as a masterpiece. However, I invite you to look at what Francis has said during these trips again, as he has tripled down on the idea that other religions are paths to God. Far from letting up, he seems to be stepping on the gas. Godspeed to you, sir.
Thank you for a loving and thoughtful response to this difficult situation! It is very important we pray every day for all clerics from the Pope on down. Satan is not dumb and knows that if he can sandbag the clerics, then he can sandbag the Church. Please everyone also pray the Prayer of St. Michael every day. VJO FUS85
Wow, you gotta love this guy! Thanks be to Jesus! I have seen a lot of official ‘inter-religious dialogue’, and the fruits of it are, sorrowfully, much more evil than good. Mission goes down the tubes, it’s about attaining some sort of conciliatory statement without offending the other religions. You wouldn’t believe the Christ-denying things I've heard in the name of ‘inter-religious dialogue’. Lamb of God, save us from the ways of the world!!
We should not be left wondering or assuming what the pope meant. He knows there is confusion in our minds and hearts, any good father would clarify or correct his words that cause confusion among his children. I have heard nothing from the holy father that relieves my confusion 😢 he only doubles down with more 🤷♀️
Regardless of all religions. God is working to draw everyone unto the knowledge of the truth. Jesus Christ is that strongest expression of God's light on Earth and in Heaven. He is the way, the truth and the life.
I do find it troubling that after hearing the concerns that arose from his statements he dug in his heels twice. Pastoral sensitivity and compassion are crucial for evangelization, but yes, the true God is better that the false gods. Through the Old Testament there are numerous contrasts that make this point (the moon god Sin, the god of Pharaoh, etc.) What Pope Francis said does not mesh with Psalm 115 and the First Commandment.
Thank you and may God continue to bless you and fill you with the Holy Spirit. As always you give the very best exhortation of an issue than anyone else - even I'm disappointed to say than Jimmy Akin's on this issue. You are respectful yet light up the path clearly that leads to the narrow gate that few find. Thank you.
God is not the author of confusion. If we cause confusion we are stumbling blocks and souls are at risk. And yes, I am Catholic but deeply saddened at best by what comes out of the Vatican.
Well done. Really appreciate that you did not 'sugar coat' your analyis of Pope Francis's remarks concerning the essential equivalence of all religions, Dr Martin. The real problem is not just a Pope who does not hold fast to and transmit the Faith, it is our bishops who remain silent in the face of what is true heresy. They will one day be held accountable for their cowardice.
Galatian’s 1: 6 I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel 7 Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. 9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Acts 4:11-13 I believe this resolves the question of other religions and their claim to eternal life. I support Renewal Ministries. Moreso in the past. Retiring and seeking always the leading of Jesus thru Mary.
The Holy Father should have been busting at the seams to share the Truth of Christ with those young students. And please folks - Stop using Vatican II documents to justify this behavior. It doesn’t apply.
It doesn’t merely SEEM that Francis said that “all religions are a path to reach God.” Rather, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. Stop the antipopesplaining.
Hi thanks for your podcast. Can you please post the link of Dr Jeffrey Myres princton grad you quoted about all religions are not on the same path not even paths to God. Thanks and Gbu.
Thank you Mr. Ralph Martin for that talk. It seems that our Pope keeps saying things that are very controversial and can easily be thought of as against the teachings of the Church. He’s becoming unpopular, I think. And there are videos, though those videos cannot taken seriously because it is so easy to create lies against him, they are nonetheless putting the pope in a dangerous position.
Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Thank you for this kind treatment of our Catholic problem - (our current pope) I for one felt as though he thinks we are all idiots and don't know anything about world religions which of course are not all paths to God. That is common knowledge. He needs some lessons on world religions. He obviously doesn't know anything about them. Sad.
While I resist the notion that the pope is in error or worst teaching heresy, I am often find myself explaining with correction what the pope is trying to say. Being a Hispanic man, I recognize the exaggeration this Hispanic pope makes to drive a romantic point.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek. Romans 1:16
I was thinking of converting from Scientology to Catholicsm, but since the Pope has said that all religions lead to God, now I don't have to! I'm so glad the Pope went woke! I really didn't want to have to do the work.
If it was a lack of prudence, then papal clarification should follow within days. How many of us have been imprudent but took the steps to walk it back?

Thanks for pointing it out that Baptism makes us children of God. Amen.
One can still fall out of the Church by heresy, schism or apostasy.
Thank you so much ...the Truth will set us free. God bless🙏💕
Very good & helpful. God bless you for your courage and commitment to speaking the truth with clarity and love…
You’re spot on Ralph! Let’s pray harder for discernment in this confusing times!
You are very compassionate. Well said, Amen!
Thank God for you Ralph 🙏 May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you to speak the truth 🙏 ❤️ praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Everything you said I've been saying!
Thanks Ralph 🙂... your insight is appreciated
May the Lord Bless you, Dr. Martin! Renewal Ministries and Grace Force are the best!!!
I Was so waiting for your opinion on this Ralph Martin ,Thankyou and Viva Christo Rey🙏

Way to go, Ralph Martin!
Thank you, Ralph, for thoroughgoing clarity amid confusion and for courage and charity in sharing the truth.
I’ve been waiting for your take on this Ralph Martin. I even searched your TH-cam Chanel this morning for a new upload 🙏

Ralph thankyou for sharing. Thankyou jesus for your clarity. 🙏
Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray the Rosary daily for her intentions. Love her!
Thanks Ralph. Very necessary talk.

Strange times indeed
God please help us in these evil times.
Thank you Mr Martin I always look forward to your comments on these issues that keep arising and come out of the vatican. So much appreciated 🙏
I depend always turn to Dr. Ralph Martin and come away with peace. He speaks the truth from scripture and Tradition. God bless him!
Thank you, Dr. Martin, for bringing those reflections to us.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you for attempting clarity at a time of wide confusion

What about when he doubled down and tripled down after the statement you quoted? I’m just trying to keep up.
I do find it troubling that after hearing the concerns that arose from his statements he dug in his heels twice.

And please folks - Stop using Vatican II documents to justify this behavior. It doesn’t apply.
Amen!🙏
I am weary of all the excuses.
Thank you, Ralph Martin! By the way, i love reading your books!
I think it is quite alarming, if you ask me.
Thank you Ralph! Great points madespecially about respect due Pope Francis.
Amen Ralph. Jesus is the only way to God. Period.
Some days I wake up and ask “When is it going to end Lord?” I think this is the chastisement honestly!
Yes I am concerned. If not then my own salvation is in doubt. May the Lord Jesus bless you and keep you safe.
I am personally very disappointed and upset.
Thank you Ralph, we must all pray for the Pope
It doesn’t merely SEEM that Francis said that “all religions are a path to reach God.” Rather, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. Stop the antipopesplaining.
awesome 🎉❤
Very well explained Thank you!
Yes, Absolutely!❤

Hi thanks for your podcast.
Can you please post the link of Dr Jeffrey Myres princton grad you quoted about all religions are not on the same path not even paths to God. Thanks and Gbu.
Jesus said, " you must eat my body and drink my blood to have life in you."
Thank you Mr. Ralph Martin for that talk. It seems that our Pope keeps saying things that are very controversial and can easily be thought of as against the teachings of the Church.

Were the martyrs wrong?
Whoever is not with Me is against Me
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Thank you for this kind treatment of our Catholic problem - (our current pope) I for one felt as though he thinks we are all idiots and don't know anything about world religions which of course are not all paths to God.

I think the Pope's heart is in the right place but he sometimes speaks without thinking. Unfortunately.!
While I resist the notion that the pope is in error or worst teaching heresy, I am often find myself explaining with correction what the pope is trying to say. Being a Hispanic man, I recognize the exaggeration this Hispanic pope makes to drive a romantic point.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek. Romans 1:16
When I pray for priests, I mostly leave it up to Mary to apply.
Unam Sanctam Apostolicam Ecclesiam Catholicam
the Emperor has no clothes? does the culture of Catholicism create an inability to acknowledge the obvious?, are you sort of mesmerized re the papacy?
😘😘
I was thinking of converting from Scientology to Catholicsm, but since the Pope has said that all religions lead to God, now I don't have to! I'm so glad the Pope went woke! I really didn't want to have to do the work.
Evidently.
This is an overly generous benefit of the doubt interpretation.
If it was a lack of prudence, then papal clarification should follow within days.
