    Thank you Robert. I once heard a priest say "it is my job to make a sermon uncomfortable, to shake people, to challenge people, to the truth of Christ. I am not a social worker, I am a Priest!" I never forgot that. God Bless your work.

    Thank God our parents led us in the Rosary,straight after dinner each night. I am 70 now and living in Australia, came back to the Rosary after seeing a TH-cam (July )headline to pray a novena, so I decided I would give it a shot,as I was heading off on a trip with my husband to Japan and didn’t expect to be able to attend Mass. well I found a Catholic parish Church in walking distance.❤🙏. The first time in 25 visits. I am keeping it up .
    Robert you said God can make anyone a saint . In fear and trepidation I am putting my hand 🖐️ up.

    Frank Duff once said that Prudence is a cardinal virtue but it must be the brake rather than the engine, Church leaders have become so prudent that they are almost afraid to preach the Gospel. Christ was not a philosopher given to expressing his opinions in carefully qualified statements. He called people blind guides and hypocrites and drove them out of the Temple for dishonouring his Father's house. Perhaps in 2025 fortitude rather than prudence might become the watchword of the Irish Church.

    In war the generals enter the battlefield and the officers lead the army into battle if the generals desert the battlefield and the officers refuse to attack the enemy then the army will desert the ranks and return home and killed for desertion or captured and tortured by the enemy and converting to the enemy

      The enemy within is as lethal as our external enemy. And I fear that the episcopacy too contains enemy elements. I take no pleasure saying this.

    • @twoonthewall
      @twoonthewall 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I will use another war image. Think of a large but poorly trained and poorly motivated and poorly equipped army of conscripts. Join the army or face prison. A rabble of useless men. Dissent in the ranks, theft common place in the barracks, cowardly when in a tight spot, prone to desertion.
      That was the church in Ireland from the 2nd half of the 19thC up untill maybe the 1990's
      Every one was seen to be a regular devout Catholic especially when being watched.
      Compare the conscripted army to an army of volunteers, an army of highly motivated professional soldiers, disciplined,highly trained. Stand their ground and fight for their brother soldiers around them against all odds. But! This new army is a smaller army and society doesn't understand why you would want to volunteer! Maybe even has contempt for the soldiers.
      This is the future of the Irish church .
      Watch the talk by Fr kilcoyne --behind enemy lines, the rise of the Catholic resistance.

    I agree totally, a really great video. I know of a request sent to the Primate of all Ireland to re-consecrate the country of Ireland to Our Lady, who is the Pearl of The Holy Family and the Queen of Ireland; As of yet there has not been as much as an acknowledgement of receiving the correspondence, let alone a vigour to do it! So that is very very sad, for us as a people and for our descendants
    'Do not weep for me but for yourselves and your children' - Jesus
    Our clergy could take a leaf from our Christian friends in the way they have bible school, sing praise hymns (music is a great way to help younglings remember!), gather and pray as a community when someone in their community is in need of it. But then again, we the lay people, could also do with that same leaf! The Chosen People had it all, but they crucified The Messiah, so the faith was taken from them and given to us to use and safeguard and spread to all. If our hirearchy don't do this, then it will be also taken and given to those who are alive in Jesus
    Please do keep up the great work, it's so refreshing to have an Irish man speak as you do. God Bless

    Things falling apart in the Church reminds me of the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament. Try building something without the guidance on God, it falls apart in the end. God’s Church will stand, but the false teachings will be crumbling left and right, eventually. The synodal tower will collapse. The pillar of Truth will remain standing.

    Thanks Robert,
    Great presentation with too many positives to comment on.
    One wonders though, when one sees the onslaught Fr Sheehy endured - that sole courageous priest who had the guts to exorcise his priestly duty to the people in the Tralee Parish- at the hands of some of the Mass attendees and the input from the local Bishop afterwards, what hope is there that the Bishops even have the will to step in, never mind the wit to do so?
    I do also commend Fr Brendan for his earlier blog which I found quite powerful, but settling the Fr Sheehy matter is far more important as the failure of the Bishops in this instance is far more concerning, urgent and acute.
    This failure is also indicative of the many failures by the bishops which you picked up on here, especially the lack of any real Catechises in schools and parishes.
