All I can say is he’s not helping me bring my kids back to our faith. He’s leading them further away and his words were used against me. Jesus, I trust in You. I surrender to You. Please help me bring them back!
@@M0M0M0M0M Sure, there's a possibility of all paths lead to God as He can even operate outside the Church n his chosen. But now what's really confusing is that there are Trad Catholics, progressive Catholics etc. Someone is splitting the church. 🙄
That is incorrect. What possibility is there that other faiths like Islam lead to our triune God, when they reject Jesus as God? We can say that we have reasonable hope that such and such person is saved when for example they receive the sacrament of extreme unction and confession right before dying. What other religion has such sacraments? Read John 14:6 when Jesus says"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6 RSV-CE
Pope knows well the situation in Asia, and I as a catholic living in Asia, understand fully on what Pope said in the interreligious meeting with young people in Singapore. I am not sure why "western" people always (or, tend to) say that Pope is confusing. We as a catholic in Asia are getting stronger in our faith with the Pope visit, and especially with his comment/speech he did in Singapore. It gives us more strength to bring more people, that is currently in their journey to find God in the "other path", to the TRUE PATH of the fullness of God through His Church. My brother/sister who think what Pope said is confusing, please try to make a visit to Asia, especially Indonesia, where we as a catholic, living in a majority moslem population. You will know that to spread the word of God, is not by arguing or speaking out loud "we are true and you are wrong", to people who has different religion. But do the work, as Jesus says : Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
And haven’t you read your bible?? You are not worthy to be a Christian if u are a coward. You should declare the truth of the word of God with simplicity and courage, there’s no point trying to dilute to please others. The pope is intentional about what he said, and he believe all religions are way to the most high God, which is fallacy, the only way is Jesus, no other alternatives. The road to eternal life is not wide , if it’s wide, it will contain other religions, but it’s narrow, no other alternatives except Jesus.
@@FolkloreChronicles1 And...do you think when I quoted "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", I took that from some comic books or novel? If you (want to) regard me as a coward and not worthy to be a Christian (Catholic), so be it. I am a coward that have been living for almost 40 years, in the almost 90 percents of the populations are moslem. I am the only Catholic when I was at elementary school, then I know some more Catholic students (still less than 20 in total) in the higher education. When I was a child, I grew up listening to my parent, explaining our faith to our neigbour who sometime come to visit us just for a chit chat. They're all asking the same question, pointing their finger at the big cross we have hanging in the wall, saying that He is not God, the crucified one was not Jesus but the other person, etc. I am intentionally quoting "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", because this is what we do as a Catholic in Asia. Do you know how its fruit? Our church always full of people. We could see many people (adult) being baptized in the Easter Mass. How we (or our priest and parish) could do that? The secret is, we're not only reading the Bible. We also have Bible study. We read many documents, including papacy document, that are available online in the Vatican site. We go to mass. We pray for Pope and the Church. I am not going to dig deep into ontological and epistemological perspective of God, EENS, and other stuff. But I just want to point out, above all, the most important thing is (of course as a coward Catholic), we live our lives with the Bible. Sal Terrae Lux Mundi. So, I admire you for being brave and a worthy Cristian. Also for the other "westener" Catholics, who spend their time to bring this issue up since the controversial FS, and made us "united" as a Catholic. I hope you're also brave enough and ready with its fruit, since now most Catholic UA-camr's "teamed up" with non-Catholic, and also the mainstream media, to boil this topic. I guess you know well the passage from the Bible that says the phrase "you know the tree by its fruit", do you? May God Bless you and have a nice weekend.
@@FolkloreChronicles1 ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: The love of Christ is more powerful than sin and death. St. Paul explains that Christ came to forgive sin and that his love is greater than any sin, stronger than all my personal sins or those of anyone else. This is the faith of the Church. This is the Good News of God’s love that the Church proclaims throughout history and that I proclaim to you today: God loves you with an everlasting love. He loves you in Christ Jesus, his Son.
@FolkloreChronicles1 Jesus said 'be as cunning as serpents and innocent as doves' This speaks to evangelization strategies based on the context and circumstances. I spent 3 years with Mother Teresa's sisters. In Muslim countries, where they could not openly catechize, they preached by example and not word . St. Francis said 'Preach always, use words when necessary'. This is often the beginning of evangelization to some people, who may conclude there is truth here, as they hunger for truth. Then, you may openly catechize.
Excellent discussion, thank you so much for presenting this. It's true that there are seeds for the cultivation of the true faith, Catholic Faith. That's why the Catholic faith was able to be spread all over the world. Thanks for defending our faith and the Holy name of Jesus. God bless you Ken and Father.

The one thing that I know it clarifies is that the church that the Romans created back in the day, believes that there is no other way to be saved, even if you believe in Jesus Christ and worship him and take you as your Lord and save you and you live a life devoted to him That you’re not saved because you’re not a Catholic. You can only come to Christ Jesus through the Catholic Church. And Jesus never said that. only the Catholic religion says that.
@@cherylhaines93 True. And, we can go directly to Jesus in prayer for forgiveness, praise, requests, etc... You may interested in 'The Trail of Blood' (google images, read the explanation at the bottom). This shows why the Catholic church is 'irregular'.
I say all of this in the hopes that you will see the light and the truth. I didn't know the Truth for 50 years of my life until the Lord came to me on a hike, and I've never been the same. You know the world has a different idea of what truth is, but Jesus, the Son of God, is the truth. What comes from Him is truth, and one day it will be all that matters. I’m not sure if you know, but sins are acts against God the Father of Jesus Christ. This God is your Creator. There are degrees of sin, with killing of another human being as the worst. Just like you probably wouldn’t want to participate in killing of puppies in their mother’s womb, likewise a killing of a human baby is much worse. There are consequences for this sin that might not be obvious at first. In fact, you don't even have to believe in Jesus Christ to be affected by sins against God. One day you will take your last breath, and you will be face to face with Jesus Christ, the Judge of every human being who has ever lived, and you will have to answer for your sins. I strongly encourage you not to vote for a lady who seems to delight and have a passion for abortions. This is not good for you and certainly not good for this country.l
Nor is it good for the unborn! Killed in the one place that they should be the safest! In their mothers womb! We need to pray for the forgiveness for these women. They may not know what they do! ❤
And Jesus said: "Do not judge as you will be judged with the same measure." The Pope isnt always here to "evangelize" Christ but to BE CHRIST with love, accepting others in all ways. Then, when we have a relationship with people, we can then lead them to Christ.
Pope Francis "All religions are paths to God" Jesus Christ "I am the way the truth and the life,no one comes to the Father except through me " Both can't be right. The Pope is contradictiing the very God he professes to believe in.

@@justinbeninati8809 And if you take ALL of the pope’s statements into context, he too does not validate their beliefs either. In many “official” statements and “official” documents the pope confirms the Christian gospel “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus.” The statement everyone is up in arms about was ONLY an extemporaneous statement made for evangelization purposes and not for preaching the gospel message. The people he was speaking to already knew the gospel message. Peace!!!
I am newer to the Catholic faith. I went through RCIA during the pandemic and was confirmed Catholic in 2020. I very much appreciate this conversation and wealth of insight. It is frustrating when our expectations of someone in such a position do not live up to what we hope, but that is why Jesus came to us, because we will always fall short. That being said, obviously words carry a lot of weight, and perhaps there was more thoughts unsaid behind what he did say that would better explain his point of view beyond face value. Either way, this conversation has given me greater insight into the faith and strengthened my relationship with Jesus.
No where in the Bible does Jesus Christ say we need to be initiated! In 351, Baptist churches declared non-fellowship with the irregular churches (Catholic, for example) because babies cannot be saved until after salvation. Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. How can a baby confess with their mouth anything? Acts 28:28 - Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the GENTILES, and that they will hear it. No, gentiles did not need to become Baptists, Catholics, etc...to be saved.
Book of Exodus 20, 1-3, 5 (Douay-Rheims Bible): 'I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. (...) Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...' The Golden Arrow: May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen. (After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow" as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.)
Bros & sis, schisms, divisions, misunderstandings happen because of our imperfection and because of attacks of many sorts. Pope Francis isn't Jesus and has only Jesus's power not to make infallible mistakes. Understand him instead, and suggest. He's many times tackless and careless. He, likes us, should improve. Don't attack. Ask for clarifications. But his other statements show what he truly believes in. Get his entire context like how we should read and interpret God's word. Who wanna fight here? See, the effect of offensive and aggressive approach versus loving approach? Learn. Don't be too aggressive on him. He's 87... Be kind.
The pope went to Indonesia for a friendly dialogue not to catechize. Even bishops have only jurisdiction in their own individual diocese. God wants us to live with peace and happiness than to know our doctrinal teachings but quarrelling with each other.
Jesus already said, “father against son, mother against daughter…”. Conflict is unavoidable but conflict need not be violent, destructive or divisive. Nobody is listening to Jesus anymore. Each man his own evangelist. Is this an oversimplification? Truth, good, beauty are the weapons in this holy war in the name of God.
I can see the Holy Spirit is working on the seeds that Pope Francis has planted in Southeast Asia. It was an eye opening experienced for my friends from different religion backgrounds. Now they are curious about our Catholic faith. Believe me, most of them have zero idea about our faith and Jesus. That’s a good start. Therefore, I find that what Pope said was just appropriate for us. It wasn’t too much or too less. It was perfect to Southeast Asian, but might not to the others. For my understanding, as long as “Love” is a teaching foundation from any religion, Jesus is there. Because God is Love. Just that they recognize Him in different timing, different culture, different languages, different traditions and different appearance. Don’t forget, the salvation is open for the gentile as well. If you truly believe there’s only one God, then you wouldn’t have doubts of the statement Pope Francis shared in the interfaith dialogue. May peace be with you all 🙏
I believe that Pope Francis put out a clarification on this! How draining it must be for Pope Francis when he says something off the cuff. Some people understood what he was trying to get at! May God continue to bless our Holy Father and the Catholic Church! 🙏
On face value, Pope Francis is not wrong. Bear in mind, he is the Shepherd of the whole world, and he was speaking with different people of different religions, but nonetheless, also God’s children. He said “different paths”. He didn’t say, all religions will lead to God. There is a difference. Not all paths directly lead us to our destination; there are stop signs and twists and turns. Our goal as Catholics is to lead other people to the one God, the Holy Trinity. Inter-religious dialog is important and necessary. It is our way to connect, to evangelize our brothers and sisters that are of other religions. When they see us, become friends with us, they will see how the grace of God manifest in us. I think Pope Francis is right and not confusing. We are wrong and confusing if we insist that our God is better than theirs but they don’t see the image of God in us.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: ‘Everywhere, on every continent, to whatever people one belongs, every human being is a child of that same Father who is in heaven, and is a brother or sister of everyone else. Christians should treat all people lovingly as members of God’s one family. The Christian community is open to everyone, as all people are capable of knowing the truth of God’s love. Christianity is a living faith open to everyone, and gives witness to God’s love for all people. Therefore, Christians are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising graciousness toward everyone.”

POPE BENEDICT XVI: “The Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows by attraction... she accomplishes every one of her works in spiritual and practical imitation of the love of her Lord. Those who practice charity in the Church’s name will never seek to impose the Church’s faith upon others. They realize that a pure and generous love is the best witness to the God in whom we believe and by whom we are driven to love. They know when it is time to speak of God and when it is better to say nothing and to let love alone speak. They know that God is love, and that God’s presence is felt at the very time when the only thing we do is to love.”
Wow, how I wish that more priests were like Fr Stefano Penna! His humble mindset, tender voice and sense of humor are very “accessible” means of conveying his genuine love for Jesus.
As a former follower of Buddha, I can confirm what our Papa said. Anyway, remember, we are Catholic, we follow the Lord and our Papa is just another servant of the Lord!

Is a simple true, Grace comes from Christ through the holy church, the holy spirit flows from the heart of Christ to the entire world, without the constant offering of sacrifice salvation, would be non existent, that is why the devil want to get riddle of the sacrifice.
She(Church) talks horshit tales and kills tens of millions of peoples too and every war basically was blessed by church in Europa and other parts where catholicism have power over stupid peoples
Better yet, She proposes. CCC 25: The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.
@@edwinkubena9944 They also worship Mary, rosemary beads, and do not believe we should go directly to Jesus for our confessions, to talk and listen to Him, etc...
I am sick and tired of how we're constantly asked by Bergoglio's apologists to do extraordinary mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that what he says doesn't actually contradict the teachings of our Lord and His Church. Enough!!!
According to you, Catholics should also be Protestants: "Only our church is true, other churches are of the devil and are not Christian". Be humble and practice mental gymnastics. Otherwise your brain will atrophy
I'm sick and tired of those who refuse to call the pope by his name and do many mental gymnastics to claim that the pope has defected from the faith and corrupted the Church in light of Christ's promise that He will preserve His Church.
To put politely, bergolio has contracted biden's virus syndrom, he should now step down as he has failed to honor his role as succesor of Peter. He even ignore the very basic teaching. For Jesus said to us : “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me " John 14:6
I’m a new Christian, and I have a question for you. Just for some background so you know where I’m coming from: you could say I was one of the lost sheep that Jesus found in the wilderness. There was no apologist that got to me, or an intellectual pursuit of the Lord, but a true conversion that happened to me where the Holy Spirit lifted me up in a moment of extreme desperation and led me to Jesus, and through prayer I was led to a neighborhood church that just happens to be a mainline conservative confessional lutheran church. I know I was led there because it’s somewhere that’s “doable” for my family, but I have a spontaneous love for all true believers of all denominations. I see that in protestant sects there is a movement to re-reform *back* to the mainline beliefs and away from the heretical liberalism. I see Catholicism walking this spiritually dangerous line as well. My question is do you see a movement to move away from the heresy within Catholic circles?
Whatever is wrong is wrong. We all want to justify. Jesus wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of One True God which is revealed Christ Jesus. I am a Roman Catholic but i totally disagree with Pope Francis.

The Gospel is undeniably clear on this ... Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The Pope has muddied the waters on this for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. What more loving and unifying thing can be done than to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with all of mankind? I am supporting a young lady who is just entering RCIA and on our very first meeting the other night, we had to endure the teacher echo these words of Pope Francis...He said, "Isn't it a beautiful thing that all faiths lead to the divine?" All I could think of was what was probably going through her mind... if this is true, why should she even become a Catholic? Why spend the good part of a year and many hours of study, meetings and discussion to get to learn about the Catholic faith and build a relationship with Jesus Christ, if all religions lead to the divine and ultimately to her salvation? Why not pick an easier path? Why are we okay with allowing any confusion about the very first Commandment given to us by God - "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me." Where are the brave Shepherds in the Catholic church who will defend our faith and speak up against this insanity!
It is NOT HOW we worship that is important but WHO we worship is the key. Different religions are the diverse ' hows' but the Catholic Religion tells us WHO to worship.
Yes, the Catholic Church tells/teaches you must see a priest for confession, use an idol-rosemary beads, and you cannot talk with Jesus directly. Etc... There are many 'religions' and they have many different gods for them. There is only one God and He is for those who believe Jesus died and arose for us.

😊There are many different paths to reach the summit of a mountain. There are also many different rivers but flow to one fhe same vast ocean. The pope says religions are paths but never said all are the same and equal.
I appreciate what Fr was saying. That we must not focus on being right, but that the love of Christ is for everyone. No other religions are not Gods will . But that his will is to spread the news and love of Christ. I do believe we need to pray for our pope. He needs to not be afraid to show the face of Christ first in all he says and does.
All rivers flow to the same one ocean but in differents paths. In a mountain there are are different paths to reach one and the same summit . I love all my 11 grandchildren though some dont know me. Interreligious dialogue is not a debate.
To use the analogy of a relationship between a man and a woman in this instance is probably the worst to use to explain The Popes statement. The other aspect is that He tripled down on this statement on his return by declaring it a gift from GOD. This in fact indicates it was GOD'S Active Will and not His Passive Will as he previously stated. There is no excuse for this and I'm praying that The Holy Spirit will correct The Holy Father, that he will retract the statements, and, preach what Jesus taught his Apostles in Revelation. There are no other religions. There is only one, the one established by Jesus Christ. Everything else is either a Denomination, a cultural lifestyle, a sect or a schismatic sect. All of these are manmade and inspired by satan to be in direct opposition to The One True Holy Apostolic Church for the destruction of souls. Two examples of this are The Sacking of Jerusalem by Saladin and the Protestant revolt in the French Revolution.
You can add to that the Reformation because once Henry VIII wanted to marry Ann Boleyn and divorce Catherine of Aragon that was the start of the persecution of Catholics in England, which in turn spread across the world to the now 45,000 Protestant denominations. Some of them are so bitter towards Catholics in relation to the Holy Mother of Jesus that it’s sickening. The Muslims have more reverence for Her
@@ScreamingReel500 That's not the point. He is the head of The Catholic Church. He is there to safeguard True Church Doctrine, Dogma, Revelation and The Holy Gospels. He simply didn't do that, so, by omission of his duty in the seat of Saint Peter he has failed. It's not about his ideology, it's about what the Catholic Church has always taught and his statements in Singapore and on his return do not corroborate what the Church has always taught for 2,000 years as its tradition. He also left young people in the belief that their false religion is a path to GOD! He also reiterated that other so-called religions were a gift from GOD. This contradicts his original statement that GOD willed the plurality of religions through His Passive Will. So he has in actual fact made it GOD's active Will in his follow up statements.
This is the most embarrassing time in Roman Catholic history with his goofball Pope I don't care if this is not respectful to other Catholics or two other Christians for that matter this is only the truth as a true and 100% Roman catholic, I must confess that there is no excuse for what this old man is saying and doing all around the world
What kind of magisterium is out there trying to explain the rhetoric that is going on right now? I must tell you right now that I am very close to leaving the Roman Catholic church and I see this with tears in my eyes

If we are being sincere before Jesus Christ and faithful to Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture, they teach that other Religions may possess goodness and Truth found in them, although partial! Pope Francis simply teaches that those people in these other Religions should take advantage of these gifts from God of goodness and Truth found in them, although partial and live them out by loving one another, as the Son of Man shall give to each according to one's works or lack of works! Why was the Good Samaritan, a foreigner outside the faith, justified before God by his work of mercy, and why was the giving of alms and prayers of Cornelius, a Non Christian Gentile, pleasing to God? Your job should not be hard at all if you were to know your Faith, and the comments of Pope Francis were not careless! I wish you no ill will, just that you do your homework! Peace and peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink!

That desire seems to be hardwired into our DNA. But not all religions are equal in their content or consequences. The truth will always set us free.

God has humbled/blessed Pope Francis to God’s will. Jesus tells us that He will draw ALL people to Himself: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhisms ARE people. Jesus repeats ‘DRAW’ -“No man can come to Me unless God, the Father, draws him” (John 6:44). NO MAN = no pope, no preacher, no pastor, no parent. To be saved, man must be DRAWN to Christ by Christ, Himself and by the grace of God who chooses on whom to bestow HIS gifts of FAITH, Love, Repentance, Mercy and Compassion.
Agreed. And Christians also forget only doing God's will, can enter heaven. Jesus also for bade his disciples to proclaim Him prematurely. Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents. 🙏

As St. Paul preached two thousand years ago, the search for God can take many imperfect forms, but they are each an imperfect search for the one, true, triune God of Sacred Scripture. Paul condemns false religions and preaches Jesus Christ as the reality and fulfillment of the unknown God whom the Greeks worship Acts 17:22-31.
St. Paul noticed that the Athenians also recognized "an unknown God" and he use that to explain to them that unknow God is the Creator and He is Jesus Christ. So, the same thing here that the Church recognize people of other faiths also seek the unknow God. Pope Francis also stated in the dialogue "There is only one God."

@@ScreamingReel500 Of course I know the Pope knows there is only one God but I think he could have mentioned as John taught about Jesus the Father and I are one. This way you can include Jesus; then the children may say who is the I.
My Children went thru the education at the parish, but they attended Mass thru out their life with me and I explain the Holy Trinity to them a lot. Who can explain the Holy Trinity? lol. But as parents we must do it or someone else might and lead them in the wrong direction.

@@ScreamingReel500 Very true as Vatican II pointed out that it's up to the parents to play our part in proclaiming Christ to our children and to our co workers. But you cannot give unless you have something to give. Plenty of us were baptized but not catechized. But there is hope many saints started bad but ended up saints. It's not how we start it's how we finish the race. In regards to wayward children as many parents are weeping for their children as Jesus said on the way to calvary; Don't weep for me weep for your children. In that always pray to St Anne grandmother of Jesus mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary will help our children.
I admit I want to learn but couldn't understand the Catechism when I bought it 30 years ago. Why? The gift of understanding is not given to me like that of St Paul or the priests. It's a long process. When I see beauty in the words of God and respect them and love them, then I start to understand. All by God's grace. God is also unity and beauty as Fr. Corapi said. Yes, I pray to St. Anne and St. Joachim every day.
If you will, here is my perspective on the matter: A father had two sons to take care of, and one day he wanted them to learn a lesson and so he sent them out, one by one. One son with a grocery list at night to the butcher district of the town, and the other during the day. When one of the sons did not return late in the evening, the father went out looking for him and found the son, all roughed up weeping on a street corner, and his groceries had been stolen. The father kept silent and did not say anything, he helped his son get up, get home and took care of his wounds. The other son did as he was told and got home safe, with a bag full of groceries. The next day, the two sons were encouraged to talk about their individual experiences. And the son who got beaten up, asked his father infuriated, this; Father, why did you send me into the late evening, in the dark, to the market? Knowing very well there would be thieves and robbers, or even wild animals waiting for me to be ambushed or even kill me? Yet you send my brother during the day to get the same groceries without any risk to himself or the items? The father responded lacking wisdom; I figured eventually you would find a clever way to bring back home the goods safely. A wise father, a father with response ability does not teach in this manner, meaning, to prove a point. He does not put his son in danger, without going along with him, knowing what might happen, when there are other ways, better paths, to follow. You can make the analogy to what the Father of the Church did or did not do. We came from a world of many religions, where tribes and lands destroyed themselves without Christian morals, and sacrificed to idols, worshipped hedonism, and death cults, after Christ imbued the Apostles with the Holy Spirit and they went on to spread the Good News,, religion as it was before ended, and truth was manifest, people converted because the truth set them free, because in their words the truth was spoken, and they could feel it. They did not need persuasion because the Holy Spirit was speaking trough them. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church was born. And throughout the nations of the world, civilization itself changed drastically, unrecognizably from what it was before Christ. Not just in the Roman empire. But everywhere the Saints and martyrs went. To say what the Father of the Church said, brings tears to the eyes of the martyrs of the Church. Whom did not believe in a mere ideology, a monotheistic philosophy, but in truth itself, and what this truth entails. They knew Christ. That He was truly risen. Christ came to fulfil prophecy, to forge a new covenant. To unite the heavenly with the earthly again. To free the souls from Hades. And to shatter the vanity and the power of the evil one. To believe in these words of the Father of the Church is to revert to times from before the resurrection. Consider this, if the Lord, is the way, the truth and the life, that means, clearly, when going astray from the way, you lose sight from the destination, you go astray, you get lost, and this has consequences, when you are lead to believe it is fine to walk on a path, that reveals half truths, or no truths, you have fallen into lies and falsehoods, into deceit, into danger, into deception, into darkness, not only to yourself, but to the people entrusted into your care, knowingly or unknowingly, and the most terrifying realization, the Lord said, he is the life, this means, all the other choices or paths or truths, lead to a deadening, or to death, death of the mind, of the heart, of the soul, of this life, and of the spiritual life, and when pondering upon all three aspects bound to one another ,, we have a very profound command, a teaching, prophesy and a realisation all coming together. It is a very serious matter. The most serious of all. Not a trivial thing. That can be swept under the rug of social sensitivities, individual or collective conditioning, or cultural circumstances of the times. It is not relative to what we believe, neither of a philosophical, or academical nature, but what Christ said defines, the very nature of the order of life. And points clearly to the relationship between the Creator and humanity. Between Him and us. It is not a treatise about feelings. But it reveals to us, the meaning of The Passion of Christ. Of the tears of the Mother of God. And of the state of affairs in the world. And so, I say Lord have mercy on us all and save us. Through the prayers of your most Holy ever virgin mother Mary, The Theotokos, our Holy Fathers, all the Saints and Martyrs in Heaven. Have mercy on us, and ever keep us on the path of Your commandments, we humbly pray. St. Joseph pray for us. St. John The Baptist pray for us. St. George pray for us. St. Philomena pray for us. St. Padre Pio pray for us. Father Stefano Penna pray for us
Infallibility is only in the context of ex cathedra. I bet you 90 percents of the people do not look into that when they talk about infallibility. "Pastor Aeternus".
If all religions lead to God, Jesus died in vain and the New Testament is a bunch of lies. If all religions lead to God, why then the grand commission to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth? I am beginning to wonder if Pope Francis is more Judas than Peter !
We must absolutely abstain from judging his interior intentions, as only God can judge his soul. When Saint Paul corrected the first Pope he did not deligimitize his role as the Vicar of Christ, but he humbly corrected him.
@@cherylhaines93 You do realize that Christianity is different from all other religions in that Christianity recognizes the insufficiency of good works to get us into the Kingdom of God (not my words but St. Paul's)? Therefore, man needs Christ's saving grace to get a spot in Heaven (again St. Paul's words). So, my question is does Christ extend His saving grace to people of other faiths who do good works?
If a person is invincibly ignorant about the only true religion: Catholicism, but does his best to follow the Natural Law written in his conscience, and corresponds to all the graces God gives to that individual person to get saved, then by baptism of desire that person is incorporated into the Mystical Body of Christ: the Holy Catholic and Apostolc Church, outside of which nobody is saved. Therefore that person is a living but invisible member of the Catholic Church, having the life of grace, which make our good works supernaturally meritorious. If a person istead is not invincibly ignorant, but is either culpably ignorant or knowing what the Catholic Church teaches deliberately chooses to be into a schismatic group or into an heretical sect or into a non-Christian religion, then that person is automatically outside of the holy boat of salvation.
The elder brother of the prodigal son complained to his father and the father didnt say " Shut up"! Instead the son was allowed to speak and the father explained. The Synod is in keeping with Jesus prayer of unity among Christians Jn.17:21
This is what tires me with people like this guest that have numerous degrees, they use thousands of flowery words to gloss over one word, HERESY in this case! Popesplaining really does involve Olympic level gymnastics!
We can always count on Ken to bring on an excellent guest to address disappointing and at the very least very confusing statements of our Pope. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t speaking “from the Chair”, he he sowing confusion. He can be charitable and yet tell them the truth of Jesus Christ! God bless.
Fr. Penna is an absolutely amazing priest and we are lucky to have a man of this caliber in our diocese. He always does so much to help strengthen the Catholic Church in our city. 🙏
ST. JOHN VIANNEY: “Jesus tell us that all the law and the prophets are included in this one commandment to love our neighbor. We must regard this obligation as the most universal, the most necessary to religion and to our salvation.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic You're assuming that Protestants don't engage in loving good works. That is demonstrably false. The Baptist churches in my area do far more feeding of the hungry and clothing the naked than the Catholic churches. Proclaiming the truth about faith/good works doesn't mean you're living it.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: ‘Everywhere, on every continent, to whatever people one belongs, every human being is a child of that same Father who is in heaven, and is a brother or sister of everyone else. Christians should treat all people lovingly as members of God’s one family. The Christian community is open to everyone, as all people are capable of knowing the truth of God’s love. Christianity is a living faith open to everyone, and gives witness to God’s love for all people. Therefore, Christians are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising graciousness toward everyone.”
No, but I'm almost always upset when someone write buddhists go to hell. I'm roman catholic and deep believe that Jesus is way to Heavenly Father. He is also a God with Father and Holy Spirit, but if someone didn't hear about gospel, I think such person is not predestinate to hell. For us cathklic deep trust in Jesus + deeds are centre of our faith. Also following for example as saints are important, because people who serve the Will of God are holy. Protestants think that only deep faith, without trying to be best versikn of ourselves can save us. I think we need both faith and work. By the fruits you know them!
I was trying to bring some of my friends who believe all religion is same" I say no all religions are not same. Which other God promised eternal life? Who taught us to love our enemies, who brought forgiveness of sins. Who has died for our sins?,"
The Pope misled these youth and missed an opportunity to tell them that Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father. And then the dialogue could start to lead them to the knowledge the Jesus is God’s ONLY son, who died for their sins, rose from the dead so they can live with Him eternally!
He also said "There is only one God" in the interfaith dialogue. Please watch the whole dialogue and not taking statements out of context. Today, during the visit in Belgium, he mentions Jesus. Do you follow that also?

"It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of profoundly transforming the human soul, making it capable of doing good even in the most difficult situations, of extinguishing hatred and reconciling parties engaged in conflict. May everyone, every man and woman, in full freedom, know the Gospel of Jesus, who has reconciled God and humanity in his Person, and who, knowing what is in the human heart, can heal its wounds." - Pope Francis at Luxembourg, Sept 26, 2024
Cont......... Each person subconsciously knows what is right and wrong of whatever religion. If he follows the will of God subconsciously, Jesus would, at the last moment, if accepts his mercy.
Thank you Father, thank you Gabriel for enlightening our minds and calming our hearts. Personally, when I heard what Pope Francis said to this audience made me so deeply sad because he didn't mention the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, just hearing JESUS Name brings to me The Father and the Holy Spirit together with Him: ONE GOD, ONE TRUE RELIGIÓN. My daily prayers for our Pope Francis, and all Consecrated Souls.
Thou shall not judge, yet you guys are laughing out loud judging at others. Understand the cultures around the world so that you will understand what Pope Francis' words meant. Is there only one religion in the world? Or do you prefer wars arising from arguing over religion(s)?
In addition, Singapore, as mentioned in this video, is a wonderful country which everyone can see. There are Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians that make up the entire race ethnics. And the majority of the citizens believe in Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islamic teaching. Despite the differences in everyone's beliefs and religions, everyone do have to agree and accept the fact that ALL people in this nation live in harmony and filled with respect for one another's religious practices too. Hence, please do more research before commenting in an armchair's view. Love conquers everything. Peace is something so precious and valuable, please treasure it at all times.
Pope Francis! No way, not all religions are path to God. There is only path to one God. There is only way to God. only thru God the Father , God the Son& God the Holy Spirit. This is the Faith of our Catholic Church & no other way. Only One God & no other God

The Pope is still being guided by the Holy Spirit. He is showing the other people of different religions to see Jesus in the gospel. He is bringing them to see one truth. Be patient, the Holy is guiding him.
No, Holy Spirit can't be in unholy body. We, sinners can't see Father, because his energy will burn us. Holy Spirit not coming and leaving body. Holy Spirit can't come inside the men, who ok with abortion, gay marriages, lying, etc.
@irynamusyakevich9303 the Pope is against abortion and gay marriage your listening to fake news. Listen to Michael lofton he researches on what the Pope really means. Listen to the Michael lofton show reason and theology. And let me know what you think Hod bless you.
This was a very helpful discussion in the wake of the Pope’s confusing commentary. I can appreciate that both men don’t throw out the baby with the bath water but remain committed to Christ despite the misleading teachings from their Pope, but I did not like how Fr Penna seems to defend Pope Francis in the end. Yes all believers should be praying for the Pope, but more so than that, the Pope needs to be corrected. As a non-Catholic Christian, the Pope making these statements really soldiers to me that 1 Timothy ch4 is talking about churches like the Catholic Church: “Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared, prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving; for it has been sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer. By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured. But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.” 1 Timothy 4:1-7 CPDV
Father Leonard Feeney was a Jesuit priest who was a best-selling author and radio celebrity in the United States in the 1940s who taught that “there is no salvation outside the Church” in a very literal sense: all those who did not formally enter the Church would go to hell. All un-baptized babies and all adults who did not formally enter the Church would also go to hell. This put Feeney on a collision course with his archbishop, Boston’s Cardinal Richard Cushing. In 1949, Cardinal Cushing silenced him. Soon after, the Jesuits expelled Feeney from the order. Feeney publicly accused Cushing of heresy, and called upon Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) to issue an ex cathedra (infallible) statement reaffirming the non-negotiable nature of the “outside the Church” doctrine. To Feeney’s apparent surprise, the Holy See refused. Instead, it twice summoned him to appear before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to explain why he should not be excommunicated. Feeney twice refused. In 1953, Pius XII excommunicated Feeney for heresy.
How about other faiths that sacrificed lives ,to kill thier own in oder to offer to thier gods? In the catholic church the holy mass is the essence of our faith ! It's a simple ceremony but most important to offer our humble self to God and accept him through our holy communion.By repenting and ask God to the forgiveness of our sins! 🙏💞 The priests are most important ,because they are the one's who officiated the most important part in our faith the holy mass! 🙏💖 There's no one who can do this except them!.Jesus Christ requires this celebration,why is there's some who made this complicated? Is that a red flag and a warning in the revelations in new testament about the Anti Christ?
11:40 "If you are a parent and need to be loved, you are going to be a very bad parent." As a parent, I don't agree with this statement. Who doesn't need to be loved? We all need LOVE. Yes, I would want my children to love/like me but that didn't stop me from having to discipline them in love.
@those who say, “what's wrong with Pope Francis‘s statement”during his meeting with various religious youths in Singapore. I would like you all to read the book of Acts chapter 2:14-34 in the NT bible about our first Pope - Peter, what did he say to the people from various religions and nations who were gathered on that day of Pentecost. Pope Francis should have taught the youngsters from the holy scriptures.
POPE BENEDICT XV (succeeded Pius X in 1912): “In the Church there is room for divergent opinions, and it is clearly the right of everyone to express and defend his or her own opinion. But in such discussions no expressions should be used that might constitute serious breaches of charity; let each one freely defend his or her own opinion, but let it be done with due moderation, so that no one should consider himself or herself entitled to affix on those who merely do not agree with their ideas the stigma of disloyalty to faith or to discipline. It is, moreover, our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations (designations) that have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided... they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics... There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism; it is quite enough for each one to proclaim ‘Catholic is my name and Christian is my surname,’ only let them endeavor to be in reality what they call themselves.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic True, if they're truths revealed by Christ. Christ said nothing about there being no salvation outside of the Catholic faith. Besides, Vatican II documents did away with that error.
I am more inclined to believe that many paths lead to Jesus, who in turn is the conduit who leads us to God. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one gets to the father but through me".
Since Vatican 2 Jesus is not called God in any documents and mortal sin is never addressed in any documents it’s hinted at but not condemned as a mortal sin like abortion etc

The difference about other pope's verses Francis is that Benedict and JP2 and Pius X all spoke with great clarity. This layman seems to be moreclear than this priest. Sometimes education clouds the true belief in the Church's mission.
Mk 9:38-40John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.
Popes aren't always right in every comment. It's too high a bar for a human. He's infallible in his teachings. This wasn't a teaching, clearly. It was talking about what opens a conversation where sharing Christ can happen. Not destroying the discussion.

We as a catholic in Asia are getting stronger in our faith with the Pope visit, and especially with his comment/speech he did in Singapore.
It gives us more strength to bring more people, that is currently in their journey to find God in the "other path", to the TRUE PATH of the fullness of God through His Church.
My brother/sister who think what Pope said is confusing, please try to make a visit to Asia, especially Indonesia, where we as a catholic, living in a majority moslem population.
You will know that to spread the word of God, is not by arguing or speaking out loud "we are true and you are wrong", to people who has different religion.
But do the work, as Jesus says : Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
And haven’t you read your bible??
You are not worthy to be a Christian if u are a coward. You should declare the truth of the word of God with simplicity and courage, there’s no point trying to dilute to please others. The pope is intentional about what he said, and he believe all religions are way to the most high God, which is fallacy, the only way is Jesus, no other alternatives. The road to eternal life is not wide , if it’s wide, it will contain other religions, but it’s narrow, no other alternatives except Jesus.

I am the only Catholic when I was at elementary school, then I know some more Catholic students (still less than 20 in total) in the higher education.
When I was a child, I grew up listening to my parent, explaining our faith to our neigbour who sometime come to visit us just for a chit chat.
They're all asking the same question, pointing their finger at the big cross we have hanging in the wall, saying that He is not God, the crucified one was not Jesus but the other person, etc.
I am intentionally quoting "Sal Terrae Lux Mundi", because this is what we do as a Catholic in Asia.
Do you know how its fruit?
Our church always full of people. We could see many people (adult) being baptized in the Easter Mass.
How we (or our priest and parish) could do that?
The secret is, we're not only reading the Bible. We also have Bible study. We read many documents, including papacy document, that are available online in the Vatican site. We go to mass. We pray for Pope and the Church.
I am not going to dig deep into ontological and epistemological perspective of God, EENS, and other stuff.
But I just want to point out, above all, the most important thing is (of course as a coward Catholic), we live our lives with the Bible. Sal Terrae Lux Mundi.
So, I admire you for being brave and a worthy Cristian.
Also for the other "westener" Catholics, who spend their time to bring this issue up since the controversial FS, and made us "united" as a Catholic.
I hope you're also brave enough and ready with its fruit, since now most Catholic UA-camr's "teamed up" with non-Catholic, and also the mainstream media, to boil this topic.

St. Francis said 'Preach always, use words when necessary'. This is often the beginning of evangelization to some people, who may conclude there is truth here, as they hunger for truth. Then, you may openly catechize.
Excellent discussion, thank you so much for presenting this. It's true that there are seeds for the cultivation of the true faith, Catholic Faith. That's why the Catholic faith was able to be spread all over the world. Thanks for defending our faith and the Holy name of Jesus. God bless you Ken and Father.
The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the church.

Thank you for seeking out this interview to help clarify for Catholics and others. God bless your family and those who help with your podcast.
The one thing that I know it clarifies is that the church that the Romans created back in the day, believes that there is no other way to be saved, even if you believe in Jesus Christ and worship him and take you as your Lord and save you and you live a life devoted to him That you’re not saved because you’re not a Catholic. You can only come to Christ Jesus through the Catholic Church. And Jesus never said that. only the Catholic religion says that.
@@cherylhaines93 True. And, we can go directly to Jesus in prayer for forgiveness, praise, requests, etc... You may interested in 'The Trail of Blood' (google images, read the explanation at the bottom). This shows why the Catholic church is 'irregular'.
@@cherylhaines93 Amen! I don't believe Catholics are allowed to study God's Word or their true history.
I say all of this in the hopes that you will see the light and the truth. I didn't know the Truth for 50 years of my life until the Lord came to me on a hike, and I've never been the same. You know the world has a different idea of what truth is, but Jesus, the Son of God, is the truth. What comes from Him is truth, and one day it will be all that matters. I’m not sure if you know, but sins are acts against God the Father of Jesus Christ. This God is your Creator. There are degrees of sin, with killing of another human being as the worst. Just like you probably wouldn’t want to participate in killing of puppies in their mother’s womb, likewise a killing of a human baby is much worse. There are consequences for this sin that might not be obvious at first. In fact, you don't even have to believe in Jesus Christ to be affected by sins against God. One day you will take your last breath, and you will be face to face with Jesus Christ, the Judge of every human being who has ever lived, and you will have to answer for your sins. I strongly encourage you not to vote for a lady who seems to delight and have a passion for abortions. This is not good for you and certainly not good for this country.l
Nor is it good for the unborn!
Killed in the one place that they should be the safest!
In their mothers womb!
We need to pray for the forgiveness for these women.
They may not know what they do! ❤
Amen ❤
And Jesus said: "Do not judge as you will be judged with the same measure."
The Pope isnt always here to "evangelize" Christ but to BE CHRIST with love, accepting others in all ways. Then, when we have a relationship with people, we can then lead them to Christ.
Pope Francis
"All religions are paths to God"
Jesus Christ
"I am the way the truth and the life,no one comes to the Father except through me "
Both can't be right.
The Pope is contradictiing the very God he professes to believe in.
The Pope is wrong. ( >).

The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing…
Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23
Peace!!!
@@srich7503 I see your point here but Paul wasn’t justifying or validating their beliefs, he was calling attention to a blind spot in them.
@@justinbeninati8809 And if you take ALL of the pope’s statements into context, he too does not validate their beliefs either. In many “official” statements and “official” documents the pope confirms the Christian gospel “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus.” The statement everyone is up in arms about was ONLY an extemporaneous statement made for evangelization purposes and not for preaching the gospel message. The people he was speaking to already knew the gospel message.
Peace!!!
All Catholics need to repent, read the Gospels and accept Jesus as their only Lord and Savior. The only path to God.
I love Father's closing remarks. I think that shows how close his heart is to Jesus. Such a kind and merciful man. ❤
Thanks for watching until the end!
@@Catholicspeaker Always. ❤️
I am newer to the Catholic faith. I went through RCIA during the pandemic and was confirmed Catholic in 2020. I very much appreciate this conversation and wealth of insight. It is frustrating when our expectations of someone in such a position do not live up to what we hope, but that is why Jesus came to us, because we will always fall short. That being said, obviously words carry a lot of weight, and perhaps there was more thoughts unsaid behind what he did say that would better explain his point of view beyond face value. Either way, this conversation has given me greater insight into the faith and strengthened my relationship with Jesus.
No where in the Bible does Jesus Christ say we need to be initiated! In 351, Baptist churches declared non-fellowship with the irregular churches (Catholic, for example) because babies cannot be saved until after salvation.
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. How can a baby confess with their mouth anything?
Acts 28:28 - Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the GENTILES, and that they will hear it. No, gentiles did not need to become Baptists, Catholics, etc...to be saved.
Book of Exodus 20, 1-3, 5 (Douay-Rheims Bible): 'I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. (...) Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me...'
The Golden Arrow:
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
(After receiving this prayer, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by this "Golden Arrow" as torrents of graces streamed from It for the conversion of sinners.)
Ken is right the pope should be clear in his word and the guest is not clear also to in his explanation. Is this a sign of an unfolding division?
Francis is crystal clear. He opposes his predecessors who condemned universalism. No confusion here. He’s tripled down on it.
@@crusader333ad exactly
Bros & sis, schisms, divisions, misunderstandings happen because of our imperfection and because of attacks of many sorts. Pope Francis isn't Jesus and has only Jesus's power not to make infallible mistakes.
Understand him instead, and suggest. He's many times tackless and careless. He, likes us, should improve. Don't attack. Ask for clarifications. But his other statements show what he truly believes in. Get his entire context like how we should read and interpret God's word.

The pope went to Indonesia for a friendly dialogue not to catechize. Even bishops have only jurisdiction in their own individual diocese. God wants us to live with peace and happiness than to know our doctrinal teachings but quarrelling with each other.
Jesus already said, “father against son, mother against daughter…”. Conflict is unavoidable but conflict need not be violent, destructive or divisive. Nobody is listening to Jesus anymore. Each man his own evangelist. Is this an oversimplification? Truth, good, beauty are the weapons in this holy war in the name of God.
Yes!! He says “ I did not come to bring Peace”
He came for the salvation of the existence of humankind. His path is hard!
I can see the Holy Spirit is working on the seeds that Pope Francis has planted in Southeast Asia. It was an eye opening experienced for my friends from different religion backgrounds. Now they are curious about our Catholic faith. Believe me, most of them have zero idea about our faith and Jesus. That’s a good start. Therefore, I find that what Pope said was just appropriate for us. It wasn’t too much or too less. It was perfect to Southeast Asian, but might not to the others. For my understanding, as long as “Love” is a teaching foundation from any religion, Jesus is there. Because God is Love. Just that they recognize Him in different timing, different culture, different languages, different traditions and different appearance. Don’t forget, the salvation is open for the gentile as well. If you truly believe there’s only one God, then you wouldn’t have doubts of the statement Pope Francis shared in the interfaith dialogue.
May peace be with you all 🙏
So was the pope right when he handed over the flock in china to the communist for money. You haven't a clue!!!!!
Yes, I totally agree with you. Well said!
Disagree! There is No love without TRUTH! All religions aren't God's will. Catholicism alone is God's will.
I believe that Pope Francis put out a clarification on this!
How draining it must be for Pope Francis when he says something off the cuff. Some people understood what he was trying to get at!
May God continue to bless our Holy Father and the Catholic Church! 🙏
On face value, Pope Francis is not wrong. Bear in mind, he is the Shepherd of the whole world, and he was speaking with different people of different religions, but nonetheless, also God’s children. He said “different paths”. He didn’t say, all religions will lead to God. There is a difference. Not all paths directly lead us to our destination; there are stop signs and twists and turns. Our goal as Catholics is to lead other people to the one God, the Holy Trinity.
Inter-religious dialog is important and necessary. It is our way to connect, to evangelize our brothers and sisters that are of other religions. When they see us, become friends with us, they will see how the grace of God manifest in us. I think Pope Francis is right and not confusing.
We are wrong and confusing if we insist that our God is better than theirs but they don’t see the image of God in us.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: ‘Everywhere, on every continent, to whatever people one belongs, every human being is a child of that same Father who is in heaven, and is a brother or sister of everyone else. Christians should treat all people lovingly as members of God’s one family. The Christian community is open to everyone, as all people are capable of knowing the truth of God’s love. Christianity is a living faith open to everyone, and gives witness to God’s love for all people. Therefore, Christians are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising graciousness toward everyone.”
Interesting discernment. You are not wrong.

Jesus is the shepherd.
@@linvi_chemutai The GOOD shepherd!
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “The Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows by attraction... she accomplishes every one of her works in spiritual and practical imitation of the love of her Lord.
Those who practice charity in the Church’s name will never seek to impose the Church’s faith upon others. They realize that a pure and generous love is the best witness to the God in whom we believe and by whom we are driven to love. They know when it is time to speak of God and when it is better to say nothing and to let love alone speak. They know that God is love, and that God’s presence is felt at the very time when the only thing we do is to love.”
Wow, how I wish that more priests were like Fr Stefano Penna! His humble mindset, tender voice and sense of humor are very “accessible” means of conveying his genuine love for Jesus.
As a former follower of Buddha, I can confirm what our Papa said. Anyway, remember, we are Catholic, we follow the Lord and our Papa is just another servant of the Lord!
He serves Satan

Is a simple true, Grace comes from Christ through the holy church, the holy spirit flows from the heart of Christ to the entire world, without the constant offering of sacrifice salvation, would be non existent, that is why the devil want to get riddle of the sacrifice.
God bless you Ken. I’m going to prayerfully listen a few more times
The pope and clergy can dialogue with any religion but they must say without interpretation that Jesus is truly God
The Catholic Church doesn't dialogue. She doesn't discuss. She Teaches.
We teach truth only. We conform to God, Jesus and not to man!
She(Church) talks horshit tales and kills tens of millions of peoples too and every war basically was blessed by church in Europa and other parts where catholicism have power over stupid peoples
Better yet, She proposes.
CCC 25: The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.
Catholic Church teaches Faith Hope Charity through Scripture Tradition and Magisterium. Bergoglio the destroyer is against what is Catholic
@@edwinkubena9944 They also worship Mary, rosemary beads, and do not believe we should go directly to Jesus for our confessions, to talk and listen to Him, etc...
I am sick and tired of how we're constantly asked by Bergoglio's apologists to do extraordinary mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that what he says doesn't actually contradict the teachings of our Lord and His Church. Enough!!!
Bergoglio is teaching a new religion which is called the novus ordo.
According to you, Catholics should also be Protestants: "Only our church is true, other churches are of the devil and are not Christian". Be humble and practice mental gymnastics. Otherwise your brain will atrophy
I'm sick and tired of those who refuse to call the pope by his name and do many mental gymnastics to claim that the pope has defected from the faith and corrupted the Church in light of Christ's promise that He will preserve His Church.
To put politely, bergolio has contracted biden's virus syndrom, he should now step down as he has failed to honor his role as succesor of Peter. He even ignore the very basic teaching. For Jesus said to us : “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me " John 14:6
I’m a new Christian, and I have a question for you. Just for some background so you know where I’m coming from: you could say I was one of the lost sheep that Jesus found in the wilderness. There was no apologist that got to me, or an intellectual pursuit of the Lord, but a true conversion that happened to me where the Holy Spirit lifted me up in a moment of extreme desperation and led me to Jesus, and through prayer I was led to a neighborhood church that just happens to be a mainline conservative confessional lutheran church. I know I was led there because it’s somewhere that’s “doable” for my family, but I have a spontaneous love for all true believers of all denominations. I see that in protestant sects there is a movement to re-reform *back* to the mainline beliefs and away from the heretical liberalism. I see Catholicism walking this spiritually dangerous line as well. My question is do you see a movement to move away from the heresy within Catholic circles?
Whatever is wrong is wrong. We all want to justify. Jesus wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of One True God which is revealed Christ Jesus. I am a Roman Catholic but i totally disagree with Pope Francis.
You should understand the circumstances.. Pope didn't want to speak harshly to the young non Christian students...

The Gospel is undeniably clear on this ... Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The Pope has muddied the waters on this for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. What more loving and unifying thing can be done than to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with all of mankind? I am supporting a young lady who is just entering RCIA and on our very first meeting the other night, we had to endure the teacher echo these words of Pope Francis...He said, "Isn't it a beautiful thing that all faiths lead to the divine?" All I could think of was what was probably going through her mind... if this is true, why should she even become a Catholic? Why spend the good part of a year and many hours of study, meetings and discussion to get to learn about the Catholic faith and build a relationship with Jesus Christ, if all religions lead to the divine and ultimately to her salvation? Why not pick an easier path? Why are we okay with allowing any confusion about the very first Commandment given to us by God - "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me." Where are the brave Shepherds in the Catholic church who will defend our faith and speak up against this insanity!
Thank you Ken and Fr. Penna for having this conversation. Much needed.
Great questions ken . Thanks for this show in which so many of us are thinking and have the same worries you expressed
It is NOT HOW we worship that is important but WHO we worship is the key. Different religions are the diverse ' hows' but the Catholic Religion tells us WHO to worship.
Yeah, no, that's NOT Catholic. That's your own personal teaching. And heresy.
Yes, the Catholic Church tells/teaches you must see a priest for confession, use an idol-rosemary beads, and you cannot talk with Jesus directly. Etc... There are many 'religions' and they have many different gods for them. There is only one God and He is for those who believe Jesus died and arose for us.

I have to refer to Matthew 16:18 “For thou art Cephas (Peter meaning rock) and on this rock I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”

😊There are many different paths to reach the summit of a mountain. There are also many different rivers but flow to one fhe same vast ocean. The pope says religions are paths but never said all are the same and equal.
I appreciate what Fr was saying. That we must not focus on being right, but that the love of Christ is for everyone. No other religions are not Gods will . But that his will is to spread the news and love of Christ. I do believe we need to pray for our pope. He needs to not be afraid to show the face of Christ first in all he says and does.
All rivers flow to the same one ocean but in differents paths. In a mountain there are are different paths to reach one and the same summit . I love all my 11 grandchildren though some dont know me. Interreligious dialogue is not a debate.
To use the analogy of a relationship between a man and a woman in this instance is probably the worst to use to explain The Popes statement.
The other aspect is that He tripled down on this statement on his return by declaring it a gift from GOD. This in fact indicates it was GOD'S Active Will and not His Passive Will as he previously stated.
There is no excuse for this and I'm praying that The Holy Spirit will correct The Holy Father, that he will retract the statements, and, preach what Jesus taught his Apostles in Revelation.
There are no other religions. There is only one, the one established by Jesus Christ.
Everything else is either a Denomination, a cultural lifestyle, a sect or a schismatic sect. All of these are manmade and inspired by satan to be in direct opposition to The One True Holy Apostolic Church for the destruction of souls.
Two examples of this are The Sacking of Jerusalem by Saladin and the Protestant revolt in the French Revolution.
You can add to that the Reformation because once Henry VIII wanted to marry Ann Boleyn and divorce Catherine of Aragon that was the start of the persecution of Catholics in England, which in turn spread across the world to the now 45,000 Protestant denominations. Some of them are so bitter towards Catholics in relation to the Holy Mother of Jesus that it’s sickening. The Muslims have more reverence for Her
He did not declare a doctrine; he addressed a group of college students in Singapore. This is not ex cathedra.
@@ScreamingReel500 That's not the point. He is the head of The Catholic Church. He is there to safeguard True Church Doctrine, Dogma, Revelation and The Holy Gospels. He simply didn't do that, so, by omission of his duty in the seat of Saint Peter he has failed.
It's not about his ideology, it's about what the Catholic Church has always taught and his statements in Singapore and on his return do not corroborate what the Church has always taught for 2,000 years as its tradition.
He also left young people in the belief that their false religion is a path to GOD!
He also reiterated that other so-called religions were a gift from GOD. This contradicts his original statement that GOD willed the plurality of religions through His Passive Will. So he has in actual fact made it GOD's active Will in his follow up statements.
This is the most embarrassing time in Roman Catholic history with his goofball Pope I don't care if this is not respectful to other Catholics or two other Christians for that matter this is only the truth as a true and 100% Roman catholic, I must confess that there is no excuse for what this old man is saying and doing all around the world
What kind of magisterium is out there trying to explain the rhetoric that is going on right now? I must tell you right now that I am very close to leaving the Roman Catholic church and I see this with tears in my eyes
Great is our mission to evangelize but even greater is our ministry to bring heaven to earth. Give me a wise leader who keeps these in perspective. Give me Pope Francis!
I am an OCIA coordinator and these careless statements from Pope Francis makes my job a lot harder. 🤦♀️
Odad, those who claim Pope Francis teaches heresy and error, are themselves ignorant of Catholic teaching and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! If we are being sincere before Jesus Christ and faithful to Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture, they teach that other Religions may possess goodness and Truth found in them, although partial! Pope Francis simply teaches that those people in these other Religions should take advantage of these gifts from God of goodness and Truth found in them, although partial and live them out by loving one another, as the Son of Man shall give to each according to one's works or lack of works! Why was the Good Samaritan, a foreigner outside the faith, justified before God by his work of mercy, and why was the giving of alms and prayers of Cornelius, a Non Christian Gentile, pleasing to God? Your job should not be hard at all if you were to know your Faith, and the comments of Pope Francis were not careless! I wish you no ill will, just that you do your homework! Peace and peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink!
@@matthewbroderick6287 That all religions have equal weight is an extraordinarily flawed idea for the Successor of Peter to appear to support. It is true that all of the great religions express a human yearning often with beauty and wisdom for something more than this life. Humans have a need to worship. That desire seems to be hardwired into our DNA. But not all religions are equal in their content or consequences. The truth will always set us free. When Jesus preached and hurt other people's feelings meaning not liked he didn't say oh let me clarify myself I didn't mean that but yet Francis seems to be saying oh wait I didn't mean that.
Matter of fact word is from the Vatican today Francis might retract his statements so we will see or is it just click bait.
Again, Pope Francis teaches that Jesus Christ ALONE saves! So much for all Religions have equal weight!

@@matthewbroderick6287 The Catholic Church has had at least 20 anti popes meaning yes even popes can deny Christ at least 3 times but yes there is always forgiveness Thank God.
To suggest, even loosely, that Catholics walk a more or less similar path to God as other religions drains martyrdom of its meaning. Why give up your life for Christ when other paths may get us to the same God?
Such a sacrifice would be senseless. But the witness of the martyrs is as important today as ever. We live in an age when the dominant religion is increasingly the worship of the self. We need the martyrs and each of us as a confessor of Jesus Christ to remind an unbelieving world that the path to a genuinely rich life is to give oneself fully to another, to the other.
Jo h n B, sadly, you deny Vatican 2 and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! Again. Pope Francis teaches that Jesus Christ ALONE saves!

Thank you Fr for clarifying this for us. 🇨🇦
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “It’s important that we don’t lose the splendor of the faith - that we remain believers, Christians, Catholics, in the sense that Catholic always means “open to the world”... which means being tolerant and open, one to the other, in heartfelt brotherhood to everyone who belongs to our one Father and who are all loved by the one Lord.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION THE CHURCH, Vatican II: “Nor shall divine providence deny the assistance necessary for salvation to those who, without any fault of theirs, have not yet arrived at an explicit knowledge of God, and who, not without grace, strive to lead a good life. Whatever good or truth is found among them is considered by the Church to be a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic Nope.
God has humbled/blessed Pope Francis to God’s will. Jesus tells us that He will draw ALL people to Himself: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhisms ARE people. Jesus repeats ‘DRAW’ -“No man can come to Me unless God, the Father, draws him” (John 6:44). NO MAN = no pope, no preacher, no pastor, no parent. To be saved, man must be DRAWN to Christ by Christ, Himself and by the grace of God who chooses on whom to bestow HIS gifts of FAITH, Love, Repentance, Mercy and Compassion.
Agreed. And Christians also forget only doing God's will, can enter heaven. Jesus also for bade his disciples to proclaim Him prematurely. Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents. 🙏
As St. Paul preached two thousand years ago, the search for God can take many imperfect forms, but they are each an imperfect search for the one, true, triune God of Sacred Scripture. Paul condemns false religions and preaches Jesus Christ as the reality and fulfillment of the unknown God whom the Greeks worship Acts 17:22-31.
St. Paul noticed that the Athenians also recognized "an unknown God" and he use that to explain to them that unknow God is the Creator and He is Jesus Christ. So, the same thing here that the Church recognize people of other faiths also seek the unknow God. Pope Francis also stated in the dialogue "There is only one God."
@@ScreamingReel500 Of course I know the Pope knows there is only one God but I think he could have mentioned as John taught about Jesus the Father and I are one.
This way you can include Jesus; then the children may say who is the I.
My Children went thru the education at the parish, but they attended Mass thru out their life with me and I explain the Holy Trinity to them a lot. Who can explain the Holy Trinity? lol. But as parents we must do it or someone else might and lead them in the wrong direction.
@@ScreamingReel500 Very true as Vatican II pointed out that it's up to the parents to play our part in proclaiming Christ to our children and to our co workers.
But you cannot give unless you have something to give.
Plenty of us were baptized but not catechized.
But there is hope many saints started bad but ended up saints.
It's not how we start it's how we finish the race.
In regards to wayward children as many parents are weeping for their children as Jesus said on the way to calvary; Don't weep for me weep for your children.
In that always pray to St Anne grandmother of Jesus mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary will help our children.
I admit I want to learn but couldn't understand the Catechism when I bought it 30 years ago. Why? The gift of understanding is not given to me like that of St Paul or the priests. It's a long process. When I see beauty in the words of God and respect them and love them, then I start to understand. All by God's grace. God is also unity and beauty as Fr. Corapi said. Yes, I pray to St. Anne and St. Joachim every day.
If you will, here is my perspective on the matter: A father had two sons to take care of, and one day he wanted them to learn a lesson and so he sent them out, one by one. One son with a grocery list at night to the butcher district of the town, and the other during the day. When one of the sons did not return late in the evening, the father went out looking for him and found the son, all roughed up weeping on a street corner, and his groceries had been stolen. The father kept silent and did not say anything, he helped his son get up, get home and took care of his wounds. The other son did as he was told and got home safe, with a bag full of groceries. The next day, the two sons were encouraged to talk about their individual experiences. And the son who got beaten up, asked his father infuriated, this; Father, why did you send me into the late evening, in the dark, to the market? Knowing very well there would be thieves and robbers, or even wild animals waiting for me to be ambushed or even kill me? Yet you send my brother during the day to get the same groceries without any risk to himself or the items? The father responded lacking wisdom; I figured eventually you would find a clever way to bring back home the goods safely. A wise father, a father with response ability does not teach in this manner, meaning, to prove a point. He does not put his son in danger, without going along with him, knowing what might happen, when there are other ways, better paths, to follow. You can make the analogy to what the Father of the Church did or did not do. We came from a world of many religions, where tribes and lands destroyed themselves without Christian morals, and sacrificed to idols, worshipped hedonism, and death cults, after Christ imbued the Apostles with the Holy Spirit and they went on to spread the Good News,, religion as it was before ended, and truth was manifest, people converted because the truth set them free, because in their words the truth was spoken, and they could feel it. They did not need persuasion because the Holy Spirit was speaking trough them. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church was born. And throughout the nations of the world, civilization itself changed drastically, unrecognizably from what it was before Christ. Not just in the Roman empire. But everywhere the Saints and martyrs went. To say what the Father of the Church said, brings tears to the eyes of the martyrs of the Church. Whom did not believe in a mere ideology, a monotheistic philosophy, but in truth itself, and what this truth entails. They knew Christ. That He was truly risen. Christ came to fulfil prophecy, to forge a new covenant. To unite the heavenly with the earthly again. To free the souls from Hades. And to shatter the vanity and the power of the evil one. To believe in these words of the Father of the Church is to revert to times from before the resurrection. Consider this, if the Lord, is the way, the truth and the life, that means, clearly, when going astray from the way, you lose sight from the destination, you go astray, you get lost, and this has consequences, when you are lead to believe it is fine to walk on a path, that reveals half truths, or no truths, you have fallen into lies and falsehoods, into deceit, into danger, into deception, into darkness, not only to yourself, but to the people entrusted into your care, knowingly or unknowingly, and the most terrifying realization, the Lord said, he is the life, this means, all the other choices or paths or truths, lead to a deadening, or to death, death of the mind, of the heart, of the soul, of this life, and of the spiritual life, and when pondering upon all three aspects bound to one another ,, we have a very profound command, a teaching, prophesy and a realisation all coming together. It is a very serious matter. The most serious of all. Not a trivial thing. That can be swept under the rug of social sensitivities, individual or collective conditioning, or cultural circumstances of the times. It is not relative to what we believe, neither of a philosophical, or academical nature, but what Christ said defines, the very nature of the order of life. And points clearly to the relationship between the Creator and humanity. Between Him and us. It is not a treatise about feelings. But it reveals to us, the meaning of The Passion of Christ. Of the tears of the Mother of God. And of the state of affairs in the world. And so, I say Lord have mercy on us all and save us. Through the prayers of your most Holy ever virgin mother Mary, The Theotokos, our Holy Fathers, all the Saints and Martyrs in Heaven. Have mercy on us, and ever keep us on the path of Your commandments, we humbly pray. St. Joseph pray for us. St. John The Baptist pray for us. St. George pray for us. St. Philomena pray for us. St. Padre Pio pray for us. Father Stefano Penna pray for us
Infallibility is only in the context of ex cathedra. I bet you 90 percents of the people do not look into that when they talk about infallibility. "Pastor Aeternus".
If all religions lead to God, Jesus died in vain and the New Testament is a bunch of lies.
If all religions lead to God, why then the grand commission to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth?
I am beginning to wonder if Pope Francis is more Judas than Peter !
We must absolutely abstain from judging his interior intentions, as only God can judge his soul. When Saint Paul corrected the first Pope he did not deligimitize his role as the Vicar of Christ, but he humbly corrected him.
The sad thing is that many won’t dig deeper to understand what was said. And may feel more validated in their beliefs.
@@cherylhaines93 So we must not fall for the temptation, but must always walk with the supernatural Faith.
@@cherylhaines93 You do realize that Christianity is different from all other religions in that Christianity recognizes the insufficiency of good works to get us into the Kingdom of God (not my words but St. Paul's)? Therefore, man needs Christ's saving grace to get a spot in Heaven (again St. Paul's words). So, my question is does Christ extend His saving grace to people of other faiths who do good works?
If a person is invincibly ignorant about the only true religion: Catholicism, but does his best to follow the Natural Law written in his conscience, and corresponds to all the graces God gives to that individual person to get saved, then by baptism of desire that person is incorporated into the Mystical Body of Christ: the Holy Catholic and Apostolc Church, outside of which nobody is saved. Therefore that person is a living but invisible member of the Catholic Church, having the life of grace, which make our good works supernaturally meritorious.
If a person istead is not invincibly ignorant, but is either culpably ignorant or knowing what the Catholic Church teaches deliberately chooses to be into a schismatic group or into an heretical sect or into a non-Christian religion, then that person is automatically outside of the holy boat of salvation.
Great discussion. God bless you both. I am conflicted about Pope Francis. May God guide and bless him.
The disciples in Jesus time were also
@@sac1303 many are conflicted by this Pope, because he comes across as a walking contradiction.
Excellent video! Thank you Father & Ken!👍🙏🏻
You are very welcome
DISGUSTING BLASPHEMY THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO. FILTH!!!!
I have to say that there were things maybe i understood then the next second it was way over my head... ill keep praying ♥️🙏✌️
The elder brother of the prodigal son complained to his father and the father didnt say " Shut up"! Instead the son was allowed to speak and the father explained. The Synod is in keeping with Jesus prayer of unity among Christians Jn.17:21
This is what tires me with people like this guest that have numerous degrees, they use thousands of flowery words to gloss over one word, HERESY in this case! Popesplaining really does involve Olympic level gymnastics!
A little exercise is good.
Flowers better than fire.
@@chuiphinglee6246 nah! Even Jesus didn't always bring flowers! He brought fire too
Your brain has atrophied. You need a lot of mental exercise
Fr. Penna was one of my philosophy professors at the University of Alberta, this is pretty much what he was like.
We can always count on Ken to bring on an excellent guest to address disappointing and at the very least very confusing statements of our Pope. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t speaking “from the Chair”, he he sowing confusion. He can be charitable and yet tell them the truth of Jesus Christ! God bless.
Well, I'm not confused.
The pope said nothing new they had not been already spoken about by previous popes post Vatican 2.
It's called pope-splaining. These people are doing souls great harm.
Fr. Penna is an absolutely amazing priest and we are lucky to have a man of this caliber in our diocese. He always does so much to help strengthen the Catholic Church in our city. 🙏
Not my will be done but yours. GOD Bless you and yours.
ST. JOHN VIANNEY: “Jesus tell us that all the law and the prophets are included in this one commandment to love our neighbor. We must regard this obligation as the most universal, the most necessary to religion and to our salvation.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic You're assuming that Protestants don't engage in loving good works. That is demonstrably false. The Baptist churches in my area do far more feeding of the hungry and clothing the naked than the Catholic churches. Proclaiming the truth about faith/good works doesn't mean you're living it.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: ‘Everywhere, on every continent, to whatever people one belongs, every human being is a child of that same Father who is in heaven, and is a brother or sister of everyone else. Christians should treat all people lovingly as members of God’s one family. The Christian community is open to everyone, as all people are capable of knowing the truth of God’s love. Christianity is a living faith open to everyone, and gives witness to God’s love for all people. Therefore, Christians are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising graciousness toward everyone.”
No, but I'm almost always upset when someone write buddhists go to hell. I'm roman catholic and deep believe that Jesus is way to Heavenly Father. He is also a God with Father and Holy Spirit, but if someone didn't hear about gospel, I think such person is not predestinate to hell. For us cathklic deep trust in Jesus + deeds are centre of our faith. Also following for example as saints are important, because people who serve the Will of God are holy. Protestants think that only deep faith, without trying to be best versikn of ourselves can save us. I think we need both faith and work. By the fruits you know them!
I was trying to bring some of my friends who believe all religion is same" I say no all religions are not same. Which other God promised eternal life? Who taught us to love our enemies, who brought forgiveness of sins. Who has died for our sins?,"
The Pope misled these youth and missed an opportunity to tell them that Jesus is the ONLY way to God the Father. And then the dialogue could start to lead them to the knowledge the Jesus is God’s ONLY son, who died for their sins, rose from the dead so they can live with Him eternally!
I can't wait for pope Francis to leave
The Pope is only a man... let's pray for love and wisdom to surround him.
It’s not what Pope Francis did say it’s what he didn’t say and he didn’t make clear Jesus is God and not a god
He also said "There is only one God" in the interfaith dialogue. Please watch the whole dialogue and not taking statements out of context. Today, during the visit in Belgium, he mentions Jesus. Do you follow that also?
@@ScreamingReel500
There is only one God doesn’t mean Jesus is God the other religions don’t believe Jesus is God but some believe in one God but he isn’t a triune God
Clearly you are looking for a fight claiming I’m taking things out of context but I am making a statement and at no point was Jesus referred to as God
@@ScreamingReel500
Let me ask you a question when Jesus was born in Bethlehem was he God
Yes or No
@@martinmartin1363 Jesus is fully God and fully man from the moment of his humanity in the womb of Mary. God is 3 divine persons in one God, one God in 3 divine persons, all the time, inseparable.
@@martinmartin1363 The setting the Pope was in is the interfaith dialogue. The limited of time only allowed so much to be q & a by the Pope visit. This dialogue was there before the Pope visit, so I assume these question you have also discussed. Interfaith dialogue, by its name its self-explanatory.
This episode was very good, thank you! Praise Jesus Christ now and forever!
"It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of profoundly transforming the human soul, making it capable of doing good even in the most difficult situations, of extinguishing hatred and reconciling parties engaged in conflict. May everyone, every man and woman, in full freedom, know the Gospel of Jesus, who has reconciled God and humanity in his Person, and who, knowing what is in the human heart, can heal its wounds."
- Pope Francis at Luxembourg, Sept 26, 2024
Cont......... Each person subconsciously knows what is right and wrong of whatever religion. If he follows the will of God subconsciously, Jesus would, at the last moment, if accepts his mercy.
Thank you Father, thank you Gabriel for enlightening our minds and calming our hearts.
Personally, when I heard what Pope Francis said to this audience made me so deeply sad because he didn't mention the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, just hearing JESUS Name brings to me The Father and the Holy Spirit together with Him: ONE GOD, ONE TRUE RELIGIÓN.
My daily prayers for our Pope Francis, and all Consecrated Souls.
Thou shall not judge, yet you guys are laughing out loud judging at others. Understand the cultures around the world so that you will understand what Pope Francis' words meant. Is there only one religion in the world? Or do you prefer wars arising from arguing over religion(s)?
In addition, Singapore, as mentioned in this video, is a wonderful country which everyone can see. There are Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians that make up the entire race ethnics. And the majority of the citizens believe in Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islamic teaching. Despite the differences in everyone's beliefs and religions, everyone do have to agree and accept the fact that ALL people in this nation live in harmony and filled with respect for one another's religious practices too. Hence, please do more research before commenting in an armchair's view. Love conquers everything. Peace is something so precious and valuable, please treasure it at all times.
I pray that if and when Fr Stefano Penna becomes the Pope, that he would have all positive comments from his fellow priests. Amen
I pray for our Pope every day.
Thank you for this interview
Pope Francis! No way, not all religions are path to God. There is only path to one God. There is only way to God. only thru God the Father , God the Son& God the Holy Spirit. This is the Faith of our Catholic Church & no other way. Only One God & no other God
The pope was saying only what St. Paul was practicing…
Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: “You Athenians (greek pagans), I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23
Peace!!!
An unbearably arrogant statement
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic In the catechism of the Catholic Church, it is written that there are rays of truth in other religions as well (which point to God). There is fullness of truth in the Catholic Church.
I am proud of MY CATHOLIC Faith but when pope said it I lost my pride and became weak.

Pope Francis said “ All religions are a path to God “ ( John 14:6 ) Jesus said “ I am the way the truth, and the life no man comes to the Father but through Me “ the question is who do you follow ??? ( John 10:27 ) Jesus said “ My sheep, hear My voice, and I know them and the follow Me “

Meanwhile the unasked question is if it sounds like heresy then why isn’t it heresy and why isn’t Pope Francis a heretic?
48:27 Thank you, Father Penna for the reminder. God bless
The Pope is still being guided by the Holy Spirit. He is showing the other people of different religions to see Jesus in the gospel. He is bringing them to see one truth. Be patient, the Holy is guiding him.
No, Holy Spirit can't be in unholy body.
We, sinners can't see Father, because his energy will burn us. Holy Spirit not coming and leaving body. Holy Spirit can't come inside the men, who ok with abortion, gay marriages, lying, etc.
@irynamusyakevich9303 the Pope is against abortion and gay marriage your listening to fake news. Listen to Michael lofton he researches on what the Pope really means. Listen to the Michael lofton show reason and theology. And let me know what you think Hod bless you.
God bless you.
@@Emily-hs3bl Stay away from Loftin!
Great conversation. Thanks!
This was a very helpful discussion in the wake of the Pope’s confusing commentary. I can appreciate that both men don’t throw out the baby with the bath water but remain committed to Christ despite the misleading teachings from their Pope, but I did not like how Fr Penna seems to defend Pope Francis in the end. Yes all believers should be praying for the Pope, but more so than that, the Pope needs to be corrected. As a non-Catholic Christian, the Pope making these statements really soldiers to me that 1 Timothy ch4 is talking about churches like the Catholic Church:
“Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared, prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving; for it has been sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer. By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured. But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.”
1 Timothy 4:1-7 CPDV
Father Leonard Feeney was a Jesuit priest who was a best-selling author and radio celebrity in the United States in the 1940s who taught that “there is no salvation outside the Church” in a very literal sense: all those who did not formally enter the Church would go to hell. All un-baptized babies and all adults who did not formally enter the Church would also go to hell.
This put Feeney on a collision course with his archbishop, Boston’s Cardinal Richard Cushing. In 1949, Cardinal Cushing silenced him. Soon after, the Jesuits expelled Feeney from the order.
Feeney publicly accused Cushing of heresy, and called upon Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) to issue an ex cathedra (infallible) statement reaffirming the non-negotiable nature of the “outside the Church” doctrine. To Feeney’s apparent surprise, the Holy See refused. Instead, it twice summoned him to appear before the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to explain why he should not be excommunicated. Feeney twice refused. In 1953, Pius XII excommunicated Feeney for heresy.
Thank you, Ken
How about other faiths that sacrificed lives ,to kill thier own in oder to offer to thier gods? In the catholic church the holy mass is the essence of our faith ! It's a simple ceremony but most important to offer our humble self to God and accept him through our holy communion.By repenting and ask God to the forgiveness of our sins! 🙏💞 The priests are most important ,because they are the one's who officiated the most important part in our faith the holy mass! 🙏💖 There's no one who can do this except them!.Jesus Christ requires this celebration,why is there's some who made this complicated? Is that a red flag and a warning in the revelations in new testament about the Anti Christ?
11:40 "If you are a parent and need to be loved, you are going to be a very bad parent." As a parent, I don't agree with this statement. Who doesn't need to be loved? We all need LOVE. Yes, I would want my children to love/like me but that didn't stop me from having to discipline them in love.
Pan-synchretism is a path to heresy.
Kyrie eleison ☦️
@those who say, “what's wrong with Pope Francis‘s statement”during his meeting with various religious youths in Singapore. I would like you all to read the book of Acts chapter 2:14-34 in the NT bible about our first Pope - Peter, what did he say to the people from various religions and nations who were gathered on that day of Pentecost. Pope Francis should have taught the youngsters from the holy scriptures.
Wow, listening to this very informative talk, praying for 'retention ' of this truth🙏
POPE BENEDICT XV (succeeded Pius X in 1912): “In the Church there is room for divergent opinions, and it is clearly the right of everyone to express and defend his or her own opinion. But in such discussions no expressions should be used that might constitute serious breaches of charity; let each one freely defend his or her own opinion, but let it be done with due moderation, so that no one should consider himself or herself entitled to affix on those who merely do not agree with their ideas the stigma of disloyalty to faith or to discipline. It is, moreover, our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations (designations) that have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another. They are to be avoided... they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics... There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism; it is quite enough for each one to proclaim ‘Catholic is my name and Christian is my surname,’ only let them endeavor to be in reality what they call themselves.”
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic True, if they're truths revealed by Christ. Christ said nothing about there being no salvation outside of the Catholic faith. Besides, Vatican II documents did away with that error.
@ChristIsKingBeCatholic Those councils were corrected by The Second Vatican Council.
Thank you both!
I am more inclined to believe that many paths lead to Jesus, who in turn is the conduit who leads us to God. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one gets to the father but through me".
Since Vatican 2 Jesus is not called God in any documents and mortal sin is never addressed in any documents it’s hinted at but not condemned as a mortal sin like abortion etc
Are you sure you read Dei Verbum which is Vatican 2? It says it multiple times that Jesus is lord and scripture.
@@xeraanimatics6653
But not Jesus is God 🙂👍
The average Catholic or any religious faith don’t see lord as God they see Rabbi or master or teacher etc but not that Jesus is God
It’s like the Eucharist if it’s not explained properly by the clergy then it’s seen as bread and just symbolism in fact the whole Catholic Church becomes symbolism
@@xeraanimatics6653
I didn’t mention scripture the bible
But Jesus doesn’t ever say he is God or he would’ve been condemned a sinner according to Jewish law he hinted at it even at his trial he hinted at his divinity and was put to death by the Jews under false accusations as he never broke the law
When Jesus rose from the dead the disciples understood who he was as Thomas said My Lord and My God
And this should be shouted from the rooftops by all the clergy and all catholics
Jesus is God
Martin, lord is synonymous with God.
@@bikesrcool_1958
Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, chief, or ruler.[1][2] The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective "Lords" can refer to a group or body of peers.
Lord doesn’t have to mean God
There are many paths to God, Christianity is just one path, the journey is the reward.
When the catholic faithful says Jesus Christ is God then they are right and just to say so and should tell the world Jesus is my lord and my God
A lot of Catholics feel that if Franciscus is right why have Catholics been so martyred.
Sam SHAMOUN is ridiculous the example he uses about the “unknown god” from the Bible is taken out of context! why? Because 1. The pope starts with a clear point: a tension between religions, one being better than the other.. the pope pointing that this is WRONG to do… then he follows by They all lead to God.. that is not an appeal to worshiping the “unknown God” by the greeks because the Greek didn’t know the unknown god thus called “the unknown god”.. the Buddhist KNOWs their Buddha God.. the Muslims know their Allah God.. the Hindus know their millions of Gods .. SAM shamoun is desperately trying to defend a faith that no longer appeals to his own ministry to attack OTHERS -think about it!.. because they ALL “lead to God” so why do Catholic apologetics?! This will close the doors to his own shamoun video making business.. to survive sam will have to go back to Protestantism to be consistent or have a “reformed Catholic religion” which was separated a long time ago called Orthodox Christianity
"I Am The Way"
Deo Gratias
This interview should have been 1 min and 30 seconds long... State what Francis said, show catechism, and then state there is only 1 truth, the Catholic Church. All other religions are false. The end.
It's obvious that you haven't read the catechism

Peace!!!
The difference about other pope's verses Francis is that Benedict and JP2 and Pius X all spoke with great clarity. This layman seems to be moreclear than this priest. Sometimes education clouds the true belief in the Church's mission.
If education clouds true belief, then what's being taught is not true.
Mk 9:38-40John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.
Popes aren't always right in every comment. It's too high a bar for a human. He's infallible in his teachings. This wasn't a teaching, clearly. It was talking about what opens a conversation where sharing Christ can happen. Not destroying the discussion.
