It's amazing that either these two are lying to their followers or are just ignorant of the real fact that the OT is composed of stories from old Canaanite/Mesopotamian myths. From a pantheon of gods does Yahweh arise incrementally over time. If you youtube "Leviathan and Yahweh's Conquest over the Sea" – there is a great video that traces the origins of the Monster Yahweh from Jewish origin myths. If you can watch that and think "Nope, genesis is an original piece of literature inspired by God" – then you're not too bright.
Happy, joy thank you for doing this talk and posting it on UTube to make this available to everyone who wants to learn. Lorraine
As a refugee, this book's highlights connect me to God's history of salvation for humanity—great work ministries from Dr. Hahn and Fr. Schmitz. God bless!
It hurts to be me
Thank you for this discussion you touch on how are am feeling. I feel more ĺike I am living in exile since the publication of Fiducia supplicans. I feel the Church is nolonger interested in walking the way of holiness but is intent on accommodating itself to the world and its ways. Such that the salvation of souls is nolonger the mission of the Church thus the hope of reaching our eternal homeland is abandoned.
How will we be able to walk the way of holiness when our priests are now mandated to bless sin?
For myself, I know how to walk the way of holiness, but what of those who do not know how to walk the way of holness and the trajectory of deviation from the true path grows greater and greater, is more and more leading to Hell rather than Heaven?
I pray for the Church and the salvation of souls…🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic discussion
Our Lady of Victory is one of my favorite titles of Our lady.
And I love Our Lady of Sorrow too. My husband was born on her feast day. I've been asking Mama to convert him.
I was Born on Flag day here in the USA. I always found it interesting that we celebrate our Flag on the 14th day of the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart. I like to think it's because he has our Country close to him.
I'm grateful he hasn't given up on us yet. His mercy baffles me sometimes. But I am also so grateful for it.
Yeah. Hold on. What's this exhile about, did you do this?
Yeah but people do the dumbest things, we'll never know, I mean, look at it,
This was conducted via LINE app? love it
God help us. The church is going through some time and it comes from inside!
I tend to feel like I'm living their chosen schizophrenia, you mean, your talking about their previous exile, but you mean I think you've built these places before,
"This isn't home but, you need to live here." – Fr. Mike. ✝️♥️
“Long for that age…” just watched an episode of “leave it to beaver” and Beaver was getting ready to play an Angel in the Christmas play… at public school. Those days were when I was little.
Many Catholic prophecies are about to take place worldwide. AFTER THE WARNING TO 2038 book and website help to understand coming severe events in 2024.
Merry Christmas to you too & blessings for 2024 💝
Thank you Gentlemen. God bless you both 😊
I think that God planned Scott Hahn’s conversion & all the fervent Christians who followed him into the Church. They have inspired cradle Catholic into studying the Faith and deepening their trust in God……just in time for what ever is about to happen.
The Catholics I found when I entered in early 1960’s were asleep……
Already bought and read it over Christmas
Blessings to both of you
Could you two please speak plainly? Why speak in veiled language, i e. exile? Why can't you say: “Pope Francis, Cardinal Fernandez & all in agreement w blessing homosexual couples are false prophets.”
God's teaching authority on earth CAN get it wrong in matters of faith and morals AND it doesn't make our mater et magistra any less One, Holy, Catholic or Apostolic. Why? These actions and statements aren't infallible ordinarily or extraordinarily.
Our Church family history is filled with examples; Our first pope got it wrong concerning meat sacrificed to idols & was corrected at the so called council of Jerusalem. I'm also thinking of Honorious w monothelitism. The Aryan bishops & popes who gave it tacit approval. Alexander VI's public fornication and the bishops in attendance who blessed his unions. All the bishops of England save Fisher who signed the Oath of Succession, and, in more modern times, the German and Austrian bishops who, before Hitler’s rise to power, had condemned national facism and did not allow admittance to Holy Communion – only to change course and literally bless the Nazis.
Cardinal Fernandez is engaging in classic casuistry where you build an entire false morality around an isolated case. He is cut from the same cloth as the “dissenters”; McCormick, O'Brien, and all the infamous dissenters who would say the Catholic teaching in one paragraph, then abortion is OK in the next. US Bishops regularly blessed these dissenters as they chaired theology depts at Loyola and other Catholic universities.
Fiducia Supplicans doesn't cite scripture or the catechism or any document saying homosexual actions are intrinsically disordered. It is completely engaged in normalizing homosexual actions.
I've heard the confessions of & ministered to those suffering w SSA for over 2 decades. Those suffering from SSA are appalled by this face value blessing of the gay lifestyle. If this truly was a declaration on the development of pastoral theology, it would speak the truth in love.
Dr. Hahn & Fr. Schmitz, speak plainly. Call a spade a spade. Name the false prophets and their teachings. You've enjoyed teaching in the good times, can you not teach the true faith during the unpopular times? Perhaps it was for a time like this that you have been prepared. Many cannot read between the lines of what you are saying here.
This is no time to hide behind OT typology.
The call of the New Year TRUST!
Excellent and thought provoking.
I don't think God our father puts us into 'bad' situation, but other people or our own foolish choices gets us there but He is there to protect and pick us up, and save us even if it means finding Heaven at that moment.
Amazing. Each of these could just talk and talk and talk…. overflowing with the word. Total magic.
Either post a lecture, or allow your guests to speak, Dr. Hahn😊
Watching from the Philippines. Christmas wishes to both of you.
I am doing the Bible in a Year, and the Old Testament is so hard for me to get into, and I would have dropped it without Fr. Mike's summaries. Dr Hahn what you said about most people reading the New Testament because the Old Testament is hard for us made me feel like I can get through it and absorb what I can. Jeff Cavins made a comment that people need to read the Bible more than once…maybe the next reading won't be as hard. 😅
The oft repeated claim by Catholic apologists is that the magisterium safeguards the truth and protects against confusion, chaos and division. The new FS document/new teaching on gay blessings is a prime example of why that claim does not hold water. As a conservative Protestant I could never in good conscience join the Catholic church.
Dr. Hahn, love your books! Fr. Mike, I am working my way through "Pocket Guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation". It maybe took 60 years for me to have a new view of this struggle, but through this book I now have more tools to help me build a new trust in the sacrament. May God bless all of us in exile.
Praise be to God, for enlightening these two representatives of our beloved Lord, to share their wonderful wisdom acquired, a Gift from our Lord Jesus.
Watching from the Philippines👋
GOD bless both your ministries🙏
Merry Christmas Dr. Hahn and Father Mike! Thank you for those profound words of wisdoms and assurance. I’m very grateful to have access such quality Catholic content. If we could all live our lives in this way, our world would be so different.
🌟🙁Hahn, your words are amazingly articulated….but pls….. 🙁why did you invite Schmit…. Just to listen to you? Not to participate??? He is a great contributor!…… pls allow him to do that and honor him… Thanks for considering this✅
I have listened twice because this really is something to always remember. God is in control. We must pray faithfully so there is little time for fear. Pray as long as it is takes to get God's answer.✝️🙏❤️
Finally, the Church is supporting valid gay relationships. The future is bright ❤
I am watching and listening from Tucson, Arizona. Thank you for both of your miniseries! The way in which the two of you put reality of the Holy Scriptures in perspective for a 63 year old Catholic Christian is truly a blessing sent from our Almighty Lord and saviour Cristo, Amen!
Scot Hahn easily talks twice as much as his guest and I’m here for it. Not one word was too many. I teared up at the idea of praying the complaining psalms and then thinking of Mary accepting not just John but the executioners and me as her child. I can never be grateful enough.
We know God keeps his promises, we forget our part of the covenant, sanctity is sanity, to be 'exules filii et filiae Hevae' makes sense when the world may think it is foolish to be a saint. How many likes for a soul 'dolorosa et lacrimosa' ?
"Journeying Beyond Illusions: Transcending Exile from Reality to Embrace the Substantive Faith of Catholicism"
In the tapestry of existence, exiles manifest in various forms—shifting from the realms of history to narratives, predictions to prophecies, and a distant God to His imminent return.
Yet, is humanity not fatigued by the surplus of tales? Fictional threads weave intricate patterns, obscuring the essence. Should Christianity not ascend beyond the confines of storytelling? Ought it not to be an embodiment of verifiable histories?
Can we not envision Christianity as a repository of trusted predictions, rather than cryptic prophecies awaiting divine return?
Let Christianity transcend the nominal, offering tangible access to God instead of dwelling in the realms of mere symbolism.
Why do people find the historical books difficult? It is the historical books that I resonate to the most. If not for them I would have a very difficult time reading the Bible. They bring structure, context, and tangibility to the scripture.
We often forget the dialectic belongs to Hegel (not Marx, who … exploited it, and well, at that). And we ourselves are so binary. Yet our Creator comes to us as a Triune entity. … i've spent a lot of time asking if the binary nature we seem stuck in (cf oh… GENDER… for one… ) has been part of our problem.
Two of the greatest Catholic public thinkers and worthy heirs to Venerable Bishop Sheen. How I love seeing these servants of our Lord in conversation. God bless them, as well as everyone reading this.
Thank you for this. This talk was what I needed to hear today.
