      Hello my friend, from all the things you mentioned that Pope John Paul did the worst thing maybe he did was to kiss the disgusting Quran but that doesn't compare what you doing which is that you are a big liar and you spreading you lies with ignorant of the Bible that believes what you saying because for sure you must be a ignorant protestan which means that you are following the teaching of the real antichrist Martin Luther who is one of the antichrist of the world . Remember what the Bible says: we are all sinners, if someone says that is not a sinner is a liar, SO THE POPE WAS A SINNER SO YOU ARE

      Absolutely true! We have been warned to be careful what tickles our ear... it's easy to hear something we prefer. What if there was no right or wrong (no evil), just what is right for me? It tickles the ear, but in reality leads to disaster. When we lose the ability to see evil, its not much different than losing the ability to recognize the difference between good food vs. poisonous food.

    The devil truly is at work right now and the darkness and demonic are showing themselves in the open. But remember, so too will the power of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, show himself through the form of miracles. I was scared at first for my children, having to grow up in a world with such easy access to Godless things, but I am now comforted, because if that is the world they will live in, they will likewise see Jesus and his miracles more than my generation ever knew or could have imagined.

      Catholic Church as only one religious institution in the world approved in XIX centruy that it will be infiltrated. Popes said it, they approved Mary Apparition in 1846 in La Salette France which said: "Rome will loose the Faith and became the seat of the Antichrist. The Church willbe in eclipse."

    It is funny I ran across this. I had noticed during the pandemic all these depressing articles of the decline of the church, numbers, faith and so on. I remember detractors in social media under these articles delighting in the falling numbers and saying see if the church would only compromise, modernize and be what is popular then you would not be dying. I found this curious that supposed Catholics or those claiming to be of the faith were buying this. First off I don't think that people's love of God is waning, just the opponents have the microphone so to speak and are heard more and more. My response was I don't care if the whole world walks away (not that I would want that, for our mission is to promote the gospel and Christ) but if everyone tomorrow said to me your the last one of this hockey religion and defamed me and threatened me, I would just shrug and be like, I am a Christian, a Catholic and His ways are my ways and would still follow Him. Too many it seems now days are more concerned what media trend setters say or political figures or some pressure group of clever young people than what the Messiah taught about peace, love and purity of heart leading to salvation of mankind through Jesus. If it is just me, some old nun, and a priest at the end, well, so be it. I will still promote the good news of Christ and call all to the the super of the Lamb. Rock on.

    Dear Matt, you are amazing, I agree with everything you said. We are in a battle, and let's all remember that our weapons are different - we are Apostles of Love in Christ. "From this they will recognise you, that you love one another". We love our enemies, we don't fight back.

    This "one last confrontation" said by St. JP2, kinda sounds like the armies of Rohan and Gondor corageuosly standing in the face of Sauron, ready to fight no matter how hopeless it seems, in hope Frodo and Sam pull through, which they do.

    I’ve read Father Elija many years ago in the early stages of my conversion of heart. The author was prophetic. At that time I didn’t believe the descriptions of the degradations of society and morals would happen as described through the book in my lifetime. Twenty three years later, here we are, living in those times. That book prepared me for all this. I feel shocked that we are living in these times already.

    I received “Father Elijah” in the mail yesterday and haven’t put it down! Thank you for the recommendation. I’m on page 167 and just read this “...the mass of men have lost their bearings, abandoned all hope that there is anything beyond this material world. More and more they long for systemic solutions to ‘the problem of man’. They want totalitarianism without brutality.” Kind of took my breath away.

    I literally burst into tears when you started reading what the Catechism had to say in this. Because that is exactly what I see and even my own temptations are just so intense. Believers are just losing faith around me and those who still go Church here don't seem to know right from wrong and appears everyone has been won over by the power of darkness. I just so emotional right now.
    I didn't know that the Church in the Catechism has written so powerfully about the Antichrist.
    I believe I am motivated to be stand up more firm in my combat against darkness.
    Thank you so much Matt. God bless you and your family and friends

    Thanks very much for addressing very well an important topic. I would add to your list of essentials to avoid being deceived is pray, pray, pray - pray the Rosary, invoke the protection of our Guardian angels, St Michael, St Joseph Terror of Demons and use the Sacramentals of the Church. We are so fortunate in our Catholic faith to have so many treasures and weapons with which to arm ourselves in this battle. All glory be to God!

    15:06 St. Augustine constantly cited the growth of the Church as proof of its legitimacy. The argument doesn’t appear to work so well these days. However, you could still apply this to the spirit filled sectors of the Church. Some parts are thriving and some are dying.

    Good golly, what powerfully refreshing content! I have not yet finished the video, but I feel sure I was guided to your channel since I have been astonished and appalled at the nefarious course of events I have been witnessing -- especially where gun violence in that States is concerned -- and seeking spiritual guidance (James 1:5). I am grateful for you my brother. Oh & the LOTR analogy at the outset was brilliant and funny. I think writer John Eldredge (whom you quoted! 🙂!) of Wild At Heart -- formerly Ransomed Heart ministry -- really hit upon something when, years ago, he began speaking of the similarities between the LOTR story and the experience of those who believe.

    Yes the Church is going through this right now and has been for some time now. I used to believe the bigger the better as well. However upon more learning or relearning that that is not the case.
    I’ve always been one of those quality over quantity people. When thinking abt this one day. I heard Him speak saying the same exact same thing. Which makes complete sense. Just like we’re told don’t be lukewarm. You are all in or not at all. This is so true. We see it everyday. I tell others hold on tight cuz Gods just now starting to shake the tree. He shaking off the rotten and no fruit baring branches.
    God bless

    I had people tell me all of my life "you need to go to church or get back in a church". Then came the pandemic and all of these people would not attend, or resist government closings, out of fear. In my observation, the church is already down to few, when faced with fear.
