If I saw Father Mike, I don’t know if my first reaction would be to give him a big hug and a big thanks or a big nervous laugh😅 Love you and you work, Father. Btw: thanks 😅
Ok sounds good.. what do you do with Matthew 23:9.."call no man father on earth for you have one father in heaven".. preaching of the gospel is so you can be saved from this world and be in relation ship with our true father.
Yes, a father, and also, helpful to think of the Church as a hospital for sinners. Discernment must be used as to when to apply the medicinal, sacramental life of the mysteries to each person. Wisdom, great care, and precision.
Christ be with you I pretty sure you're meant to dispense the sacraments. I don't understand why that wouldn't be the most amazing thing ever. God bless you

@@MrKev1664 The answer is in the video, they are fathers! Priest are spiritual fathers, which encompases alot. Just like our biological fathers can't be relegated to one or 2 purposes, hence why I mentioned pay.

There is no need for a priest now since the death & Resurrection of Jesus Christ! The curtain that separated the Holy of Holies was torn in to. Now we can go to God and ask forgiveness! Jesus is our mediator to God, not a man!❤ Jesus is the only way to the Father!❤

@@tippiergnome8471 Nope. Not even my dad! I don’t call my dad ‘father’ as an honorary title. It’s a description. He’s not Father Kevin. He’s my father. Only ONE Father deserves the title of Father God and He’s on the Throne in Heaven. He’s not donning purple and scarlet flowing robes “to be seen and honored” down on earth. I’ll leave that to the Pharisees just as Jesus did.
Yes, priests ARE fathers! They are ordained to CARE about everyone in their parish or community. And like non-priest fathers a few are not very good at it. But most do the best they can.
It could be the reason my brother left the order MANY years ago. I remain a Catholic. ✨🙏📿🥀. I know several men who left the order and 2 women who left the order of nuns.
The Priest has the very important role to cause the transubstantiation. The importance of this cannot be minimized as the body & blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ is the source & summit of the Catholic Christian life. Only in the Ordained Priest can Jesus be present as He offers up His Body & Blood.
"Sacraments dispenser"! That sounds like masonic language for "you have to undermine the importance of the sacraments." Souls cannot be saved without the sacraments, so being a mere "sacraments dispenser" is good enough for me.
Ordained to preach and teach /evangelise and make disciples.Today prophetic leadership for parish is essential too.Right? Rhat must involve ending g all the illicit and even I valid sacraments/sacramental stewardship.
Its good to hear Father say this. But it's really so sad to hear that the mission of a priest as Father wasn't stressed. Before the rise of liberal Catholicism and heresy of modernism (see St. Pope Pius X's encyclical on moderism) priests knew their purpose.
It wasn't like that at the beginning. Remember Peter's mother-in-law was sick and Jesus healed her. I don't think it's fair that the Catholic Church deprives them of those things.
Father I think those teachers were teaching the New priest to be s protestant in the Only church Jesus established from The Apostles, this looks like some false teachers were against God 😮. Please let sll the priests know thst they sre chosen to serve the King 👑 of heaven ss Ministers if reconciliation ambassadors for God ❤❤❤❤
Imagine making rules and hoops and obstacles not mentioned in the Bible. Stop adding humanistic stagnation and religiosity. Enter a relationship and child-like faith with God. Read the Word!
Nowhere in the Bible does it say you must only do what's in the Bible. Especially not in the NT. The early church made decisions based on what they saw, like in Acts 15.
Not impressed. My uncle, an Archbishop, and aunt a nun of 70 years. Always knew the purpose of their vocation BEFORE taking vows. They knew why they were doing what they were doing before making the commitment.

@@CatholicDefender-bp7my “Someone has taught you shit?” Do the bishops teach you to evangelize using swear words or did you succumb to anger and pride causing you to swear? It’s OK if two people disagree theologically, CatholicDefender. No need to cuss just because another believer in Jesus Christ has differing views from you. Count to 10 next time. Maybe you’ll be able to respond without swearing. ”And call none your father upon earth; for one is your Father, who is in heaven. St Matthew 23:9, 23 DRC1752 Paul NEVER asked to be called Father Paul. When studying context of the Bible, we learn God commands us not to give the TITLE of Father to anyone but Him as there is ONE FATHER and He’s in Heaven. Paul is a spiritual father to Timothy and Titus. Neither referred him to as Father Paul as we call our Heavenly Father, Father God. Huge difference.
A sacrament dispenser is a beautiful thing. We should move away from this boomer obsession with avoiding anything remotely mechanical about our faith in favor of vague descriptions
Today's knowledge of religion and philosophy? You're kidding, right? Current philosophy is hopelessly hostage to postmodernism, the tired, dusty, 19-century Marxist dialectic of oppressor and oppressed, and a refusal to acknowledge objective truth. *That* is nothing to base your life on.
Guess that is why the Catholic church as a whole does not encourage its members to read Gods Word the Bible ! Why ? Maybe because praying to Mary is no where mentioned in the Bible or confessing your sins to a priest mentioned as well etc !
The Holy Mass is Biblical from the beginning to the end. Plus, we do not pray to Mary. We ask her for her intercession. Like the way Abraham prayed for Abimelech (Genesis 20:17-18) or the way you would ask a loved one to pray for you. Let us not judge without doing thorough research. We praise the same living God, in a broken world we should stand hand in hand and fight the good fight united.
