In review it is striking how clear and simple C. Pells communications were. No elaborate theological posturing or indignant blustering. And yet he also spoke with incredible empathy for even those that sought to attach the Church, the Pope and himself. What a towering Catholic influence, whose contributions will be valued more as time goes on, and who will be missed
This makes me truly appreciate the uphill battle that Pell and St. John Paul were having to fight. It is easy to criticize St. JPII and people like Cardinal Pell for "not going hard enough" on people who were trying to weaponize Vatican II against its own purposes but as the debate shows, a large majority of Catholics at the time were already on the threshold of leaving. People like St. John Paul, Cardinal Pell, and Pope Benedict truly defended orthodoxy and sacred tradition without losing sight of their pastoral mission.
I have to say, in charity, that you've been completely mislead. JPII was a total modernist and a wicked heretic. He organized the worship of devils and taught that those belonging to false religions did not need to convert. He was antichrist.
Lmao what. Saint John Paul? Dude was a literal apostate along with ratzinger and Pell, considering they all believed in the heresies of Vatican 2. John Paul was definitely the worst, Assisi.
Joseph van Haren , Thank you Church Militant , I watched this program in 1993 , I am so grateful to Cardinal Pell for having always defended the Orthodoxy of the Catholic Tradition of the Catholic Church , in Australia and in Rome . Cardinal Pell will be greatly missed. May God Bless him and reward him richly and may Cardinal Pell intercede for the Church .
Thank you Cardinal Pell - you’re one of the FEW GOOD MEN in the Catholic Church. God grant him eternal rest. Thank you Church Militant for airing this! God bless 🙏💝

I'm only about 15 minutes into this video and I can now understand why some people said that Cardinal Pell was fighting to keep traditional Catholicism alive from within the heirarchy of the church and the parishioners. This magnifies why 30 years later in today's toxic and evil climate why the Synod is an absolute ruse. They know that most Catholics are not even practicing Catholics.
Apparently 70% of Catholics don’t believe in transsubstantiation. This means if there is supposedly say 500 million Catholics in the world, then really there are only 150 million because you can’t be catholic if you don’t believe that. Food for thought. ( Can’t criticise them for doubting though, it’s seems rather unbelievable).

Cardinal Pell had a lot to deal with there! But I was inspired by how calm he remained. It was super based to see those young women who were defending the Church teaching with statistics and great concise points. It's easy from my perspective to be dismissive of the dissenters, but the fact is they probably made a few small mistakes in reasoning long ago and it snowballed and made it hard for them to change their minds when the Pope reaffirmed the truth.
In Matthew 25:31, Jesus described the last judgment, the separation of sheep and goats, and says that those looked on with favor by the Father fed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, cared for the sick, etc. Obviously Jesus condemned adultery and violent anger. But in the final analysis, He cared more for the marginalized. It's in the Gospel. 👌
That lawyer @ 20:06 was great and made a good point as well as the younger woman who spoke before him in favor of orthodoxy and following the encyclical from Pope Paul VI.

The young female medical doctor, talking about natural family planning & risk evaluation on spreading of aids etcetera, was in my opinion, brilliant in a quiet way
@@petersanders2815 thinking for oneself is perfectly fine. But to the agitate to change 2000 years of tradition based on one’s very limited knowledge of that tradition and a hand full of feelings is deluded and destructive. Your free to determine that the organisation your in that you find odious isn’t for you and your free to leave.
@@larrypicard8802 the meaning of the ‘sheep’ has been perverted recently to be a derogatory word for people that blindly follow. Jesus used it in a more familial way. Those under the care or, but yes those who are obedient to Him. It’s part of the whole plan to make people do independent, so disobedient that we goveith what we think us right rather than Gods plan Which is pretty much the root cause of the fall in the first place.
Good thing the developed countries have low birth rates. They need immigrants from the underdeveloped and undereducated countries that are overpopulating themselves into famine. And when the refugees arrive, in a generation or two they too start limiting their families. Hurray for secular culture and contraception!
Christians are to live according to the Teachings of Jesus Christ, we live by the Law. We do not change Commandments and Sacraments to fit our ‘wayward’ lives. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us, sinners. Pray for the conversion of poor sinners 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, the GayBC learnt that open forums like these were harmful to their agenda. Their dictatorship of journalism is much tighter now. May the Lion rest in peace.
Bishops have a higher authority than presbyters and laity. They should have respected him and not used the media arm of their liberal government to ridicule him, knowing they will not face repercussions. The priests and laity were on the side of secularism this day. God bless Cardinal Pell.
When people put their convenience and their personal belief above the unbendable truth of Christ's teaching. As Cardinal Pell have held .. there is no compromise
Although this was several years ago, it does still withstand today, and really until the last day. Satan is a “tempter” as he has from the beginning. The men and women who think Catholic doctrine has to be with the modern times are being tempted by the same who tempted Eve and think, “yes, we should be allowed to eat from the forbidden tree”. And precisely this is why Pope Paul VI and Pope St. John Paul wrote those documents. To let us know that the Church and its members are being tempted. And of course, we do have freewill, but to unite our will to God’s is to protect ourselves and ultimately our conscience from temptation. God bless!
It is depressing to see Catholics so brazenly and publicly disown the teaching authority of the Church (which is really a loss of faith, in the last analysis). This is different from merely having a difficultly understanding or living a doctrine but the faith is really that the Church has this authority from Christ, so we believe even if we find certain areas difficult to understand ('a thousand difficulties don't equal a doubt', as Newman said). This is also quite distinct from the present situation, in which there are learned and faithful theologians who are genuinely concerned that the present occupant of the Chair is teaching things in disharmony with the constant teaching (not getting into that here, but there are some who would place these people and Dr Feser, for example, in the same place, when anyone can see the difference). Contraception is a prime example of why Christ gave us a living magisterium, able to address new realities and situation and apply to them with certitude the teaching of Christ. Barrier contraception was clearly condemned from the story of Onan, so there was never really a question about it. With the invention of hormonal contraception, however, theologians wondered if this came under the same condemnation. It was a reasonable question and needed the authoritative voice of the Church. Well, Rome spoke, the case is finished!
Notice how when the liberal theologians said obviously inflammatory or wrong things, those who follow Christ's teachings listened respectfully and responded in turn. However, when the conservative voice made any claim at all there was hissing and fake outrage from those against them. Cardinal Pell and those Catholics were truly brave and acted with dignity all the rest were only after what they wanted.
Two things: first, don't you wish television debate and interviewing now was as thoughtful and polished as this? Almost everyone was able to state a case eloquently, without the rhetoric discourtesy you hear today. Second, how I wish Cardinal Pell were still here: as another viewer said, "he was as solid as a rock", and every time during this interview he was able to cut through emotional opposition to lift out fundamentals. God rest his brave soul.
Jesus instituted the Papacy. He came into the world a humble little baby And he taught so that we may follow Him into His Father’s Kingdom. These dissidents don’t agree with His laws (free will) but they want to change His Teaching to suit their lifestyle &/or ideology. They “want their cake and eat it too” it seems that they’re fighting to be recognised as Christians but they won’t accept His Commandments and Sacraments. Our Lord will return as a just Judge. Repent and be saved. 🙏God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Follow God's commandments.. after all.. we will be the ones to face Our eternal judge Jesus Christ on the afterlife.. cardinal Pell is just doing his job of leading his flock to the royal road to heaven...
Thanks be to God for Cardinal Pell, for the good priest and the women and man who stood by the Church's teaching. They did not budge like the unfaithful Jesuits and silly dissenting women and men.
So what the professor is saying is that because Jesus’ teachings are too hard to follow and therefore the teachings should be changed to comply with the morals of society. The Old Testament is filled with examples of what happens when a people depart from the teaching of God.
A response to the misguided religious sister at 14:35 who said the language of Humanae Vitae is "not inclusive" and that women are supposedly not named or included: The word "woman" (Latin "mulier") is used 3 times (Paras. 2, 12 - 13), and "women" (Latin "mulieres") is used twice in the Latin original (Paras. 14 & 17). Also, the word "homines" is used many times in the encyclical and can be used of just men, but also, of both men and women combined. Sister Anne Hall simply doesn't know what she's talking about.
After 30 years God gives us what we have been asking since so long: confusion. This is the price for not having listened to good pastors as John Paul II, card. Pell, Benedict XVI and other voices sent to us. "He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" Thank you card. Pell, rest in peace.
And who knows, he may be raised to the altar some day (incidentally, Im from Uganda 🇺🇬 which is cited in the discussion and is blown away by the steadiness and clarity Cardinal Pell exhibits)
Fast forward to 2023: Are the women in this audience also satisfied with the effects contraception has had on women who took, eg., the birth control pill? Infertilities, cancers, etc.. In 1993 I was as ignorant of the teachings of the Church as many in this audience were. In 2023 I agree with everything Cardinal Pell said. This was not a debate, it was a 'get Cardinal Pell' opportunity. Especially that Jesuit 'friend' in the front row who insisted on calling Cardinal Pell, George. This proves where the Jesuits were coming from and where they ended up today.
The Catholic Church wants women to have babies every nine months regardless of the mothers health or if she can feed those children. They regard women as little better than brood mares.
30 years on, and very revelatory. Interesting how the sheep of the 90s sounded almost indistinguishable from the sheep of the 60s. Really seems like it wasn't until the early 00's that things started to turn around. Still an uphill battle and the side with history and fact on their side is still grossly outnumbered by the 'but I want to do it my way' crowd, but Truth reasserts itself, one way or another.
Bishop George Pell is very gentile, articulate and persuasive although I personally don’t believe a word that he says. I am confused whether he was convicted of sexual assault or not. If this involved a single complaint then I am not yet convinced that he is a sexual pervert. If this involved multiple complaints from multiple people, then that really increases the chance that he did the wrong thing. We must not convict him unfairly. Anyway, I think that preventing contraception harms women because women are not in the driver’s seat of life. Also no contraception really penalizes poorer families. Contraception does NOT increase infidelity or early sex despite what the clergy say. When contraception is allowed, teenage pregnancy rates and pregnancy terminations really occur much less. There are dramatically less abortions. The Church needs women to be intimately involved in the priesthood and even up to becoming Cardinals. Christianity is fading in the western word. Only immigration keeps the Catholic Church from disappearing right now. The children and grandchildren of the Catholic and Muslim immigrants will ignore the Catholic Church and ignore the Muslim religion. Religion will be a small part of our society in the near future. Religion should not be forced on children in early school. RS. Canada
You have no idea why the Church teaches that contraception is evil. You are attacking a straw man and also making "the end justifies the means" argument which is atheistic.
Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord ,and let Your perpetual light shine upon him ...God rest Cardinal Pell....The Jesuits need to be excommunicated from the church....Lord ,save them...
God bless our good and holy George Cardinal Pell. Clearly wolves in sheep’s clothing have not just extended to the end of the Cardinal’s life. But Oh what dignity, clarity, respect and truth his eminence conducted himself. He knew God was with him🙏✝️🕊RIP your eminence George Cardinal Pell 🙏✝️
10:50 Child: "What is genuine Catholic teaching?" Liberal Catholics: "It's a discussion between you and your culture, which is how God speaks to you. Don't worry about what some bishop says."
*1 Timothy 3:15* “…that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the House of God, which is the *Church* of the Living God, the *Pillar* and *Ground* of the Truth.”
the Jesuits like the Germans , have theorized theology to such an extent as to bend it into and out of shape getting things improved only to disprove them all over once again. the Lord said time and again that unless we become as these little children we would not enter his kingdom and in thinking ourselves as above our station we guarantee our absence from any station in the heavenly beatific vision with all those angels and saints.
To those who oppose the Church in matters of sexual morality, the Church reminds us that the ends do not justify the means, that the physical order cannot restore the moral order, and that compassion cannot gainsay truth.
That lady doesn't make sense sounds liberal..why is the Church obessed with sin? Holy moly...that is why Christ died on the cross...if we didn't need to be saved if there was no sin there would have been no need for a resurection...she and those like her need to read the catechism! Another point...these folks saying we should use our conscience...guess what when you sin and are in mortal sin your intellect becomes dim and dull...you rationalize your sin...its not about feelings its about saving souls...just astounded...these people do not know the Catholic faith...ie the liberal ones arguing for contraception etc...astounding!
Just a thought experiment, maybe a "dim intellect" is the realization that enjoying this life isn't so bad, and you don't have to live a neurotically scrupulous life under the thumb of authoritarianism. Just make sure to see people as ends in themselves made in the image of God. Jesus certainly condemned adultery and violent anger, but in Matthew 25:31, He clearly states that those who enter the kingdom of God fed the poor, gave drink to the thirsty, cared for the sick, etc. But you know, fixing society is not as difficult as scolding people for various sexual activities.
It’s incredible is it. The best endeavours of those who want to do what ever they want to, come across as muddled as they appeared to all here. Pell and the Church have played it straight all the bay along and stand today as the moral handrail
God bless Cardinal Pell. He spoke in clarity. ❤❤❤

Rip Cardinal Pell. Pray for us. Thank you CM. You can see the seeds that have lead us to where we are.
Great soul. The truth is never subjective. May you rest in perfect peace.
Never underestimate the wisdom of the church
May Cardinal Pell rest in eternal peace. He was such a great defender of the faith and stood up peacefully and firmly for the truth
Nothing has changed I see. Same arguments. Truth always wins!
The broad madness of the audience opinions is a strong case for limiting the influence of the laity. Crazy stuff
The young female medical doctor, talking about natural family planning & risk evaluation on spreading of aids etcetera, was in my opinion, brilliant in a quiet way
Yeah, imagine letting people think for themselves and have an opinion. Criminal!
@@petersanders2815 thinking for oneself is perfectly fine. But to the agitate to change 2000 years of tradition based on one’s very limited knowledge of that tradition and a hand full of feelings is deluded and destructive. Your free to determine that the organisation your in that you find odious isn’t for you and your free to leave.
Yes when Jesus said "feed my sheep" he wasn't kidding.🤣
@@larrypicard8802 the meaning of the ‘sheep’ has been perverted recently to be a derogatory word for people that blindly follow. Jesus used it in a more familial way. Those under the care or, but yes those who are obedient to Him.
It’s part of the whole plan to make people do independent, so disobedient that we goveith what we think us right rather than Gods plan
Which is pretty much the root cause of the fall in the first place.
Look at the world right now and tell me who was right on this issue
Good thing the developed countries have low birth rates. They need immigrants from the underdeveloped and undereducated countries that are overpopulating themselves into famine. And when the refugees arrive, in a generation or two they too start limiting their families. Hurray for secular culture and contraception!
@ 22:00 The Lawyer who called for the Church to remove dissenters was right.
Christians are to live according to the Teachings of Jesus Christ, we live by the Law. We do not change Commandments and Sacraments to fit our ‘wayward’ lives. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us, sinners. Pray for the conversion of poor sinners 🙏🙏🙏
God bless our priests and religious.
Amen 🙏
This is a timely reminder, an excellent reminder in fact. The jesuit priest's convoluted arguments here indicate the extent of the "misunderstanding"
Sophistry must have been an invention of the devil.
back in the days where people on both sides actually debated
Yes, the GayBC learnt that open forums like these were harmful to their agenda. Their dictatorship of journalism is much tighter now. May the Lion rest in peace.
@@DD-bx8rb dictatorship of journalism like the censorship the church practiced for centuries? 🤣
The zeal of Cardinal Pell, lawyer Paul Brazier, Dr Catherine Lennon and Fr James Murray were on display :) Thank God for their faithful words.
RIP GEORGE CARDINAL PELL. THANK YOU FOR SERVICE TO THE CHURCH
I only see devils, devils, devils. If the truth was opposed this way, then who are we to complain for getting Francis
Bishops have a higher authority than presbyters and laity. They should have respected him and not used the media arm of their liberal government to ridicule him, knowing they will not face repercussions. The priests and laity were on the side of secularism this day. God bless Cardinal Pell.
May God bless you, Cardinal Pell. Rest in peace. Best regards from Indonesia.
It’s so sad that the attacks come from the ones that are in charge of defending our faith and the inmutable teachings of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Pell,peace with him was a true voice.Thank you.
When people put their convenience and their personal belief above the unbendable truth of Christ's teaching. As Cardinal Pell have held .. there is no compromise
Although this was several years ago, it does still withstand today, and really until the last day. Satan is a “tempter” as he has from the beginning. The men and women who think Catholic doctrine has to be with the modern times are being tempted by the same who tempted Eve and think, “yes, we should be allowed to eat from the forbidden tree”. And precisely this is why Pope Paul VI and Pope St. John Paul wrote those documents. To let us know that the Church and its members are being tempted. And of course, we do have freewill, but to unite our will to God’s is to protect ourselves and ultimately our conscience from temptation. God bless!
This was a couple of generations ago: 1980s. Look at the hair styles
@@russellmiles2861 yes. But today we are living exactly what Cardinal Pell and Paul IV document prophesied.
@@atgred oh, life is much better today. The Good Cardinal was worried over nothing.
Wow Cardinal pell was so patient here. Good job! Those other people, sigh
Wow! That Indian priest just challenged his own bishop and back talked him in front of a public forum… so much for your vow of obedience…
It is depressing to see Catholics so brazenly and publicly disown the teaching authority of the Church (which is really a loss of faith, in the last analysis). This is different from merely having a difficultly understanding or living a doctrine but the faith is really that the Church has this authority from Christ, so we believe even if we find certain areas difficult to understand ('a thousand difficulties don't equal a doubt', as Newman said). This is also quite distinct from the present situation, in which there are learned and faithful theologians who are genuinely concerned that the present occupant of the Chair is teaching things in disharmony with the constant teaching (not getting into that here, but there are some who would place these people and Dr Feser, for example, in the same place, when anyone can see the difference). Contraception is a prime example of why Christ gave us a living magisterium, able to address new realities and situation and apply to them with certitude the teaching of Christ. Barrier contraception was clearly condemned from the story of Onan, so there was never really a question about it. With the invention of hormonal contraception, however, theologians wondered if this came under the same condemnation. It was a reasonable question and needed the authoritative voice of the Church. Well, Rome spoke, the case is finished!
Cardinal Pell pray for us
The Jesuit priests seem so smug and contemptuous.
You simply defined what a Jesuit is.
Notice how when the liberal theologians said obviously inflammatory or wrong things, those who follow Christ's teachings listened respectfully and responded in turn. However, when the conservative voice made any claim at all there was hissing and fake outrage from those against them. Cardinal Pell and those Catholics were truly brave and acted with dignity all the rest were only after what they wanted.
Who will replace Cardinal Pell in our time?
I'm sure they'll find another diddler pretty easily.
@@edbee8508 You do yourself a diservice by your comment
Two things: first, don't you wish television debate and interviewing now was as thoughtful and polished as this? Almost everyone was able to state a case eloquently, without the rhetoric discourtesy you hear today. Second, how I wish Cardinal Pell were still here: as another viewer said, "he was as solid as a rock", and every time during this interview he was able to cut through emotional opposition to lift out fundamentals. God rest his brave soul.
Jesus instituted the Papacy. He came into the world a humble little baby And he taught so that we may follow Him into His Father’s Kingdom. These dissidents don’t agree with His laws (free will) but they want to change His Teaching to suit their lifestyle &/or ideology. They “want their cake and eat it too” it seems that they’re fighting to be recognised as Christians but they won’t accept His Commandments and Sacraments. Our Lord will return as a just Judge. Repent and be saved. 🙏God bless 🙏🙏🙏
A few of these so called dissidents are sounding a lot like protestants. Let us pray for them and the Jesuits
Follow God's commandments.. after all.. we will be the ones to face Our eternal judge Jesus Christ on the afterlife.. cardinal Pell is just doing his job of leading his flock to the royal road to heaven...
Thanks be to God for Cardinal Pell, for the good priest and the women and man who stood by the Church's teaching. They did not budge like the unfaithful Jesuits and silly dissenting women and men.
God help us! The world has lost such a courageous, clear, and caring Australian intellectual . We will miss him in Ireland
R.I.P. Cardinal Pell
If you don't like Catholic Laws LEAVE! Become a protestant.
So what the professor is saying is that because Jesus’ teachings are too hard to follow and therefore the teachings should be changed to comply with the morals of society. The Old Testament is filled with examples of what happens when a people depart from the teaching of God.
Tens of thousands are doing exactly that and now the clergy is complaining about people leaving!
@18:00 It was interesting to see Peter Singer, a man who aggressively advocates for various forms of eugenics, in this video.
He is evil
Four Corners went from this fair and informed debate about a papal encyclical to slandering George Pell as a malicious predator. How sad.
A response to the misguided religious sister at 14:35 who said the language of Humanae Vitae is "not inclusive" and that women are supposedly not named or included:
The word "woman" (Latin "mulier") is used 3 times (Paras. 2, 12 - 13), and "women" (Latin "mulieres") is used twice in the Latin original (Paras. 14 & 17). Also, the word "homines" is used many times in the encyclical and can be used of just men, but also, of both men and women combined. Sister Anne Hall simply doesn't know what she's talking about.
After 30 years God gives us what we have been asking since so long: confusion. This is the price for not having listened to good pastors as John Paul II, card. Pell, Benedict XVI and other voices sent to us. "He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" Thank you card. Pell, rest in peace.
And who knows, he may be raised to the altar some day (incidentally, Im from Uganda 🇺🇬 which is cited in the discussion and is blown away by the steadiness and clarity Cardinal Pell exhibits)
Fast forward to 2023: Are the women in this audience also satisfied with the effects contraception has had on women who took, eg., the birth control pill? Infertilities, cancers, etc..
In 1993 I was as ignorant of the teachings of the Church as many in this audience were. In 2023 I agree with everything Cardinal Pell said.
This was not a debate, it was a 'get Cardinal Pell' opportunity. Especially that Jesuit 'friend' in the front row who insisted on calling Cardinal Pell, George.
This proves where the Jesuits were coming from and where they ended up today.
The Catholic Church wants women to have babies every nine months regardless of the mothers health or if she can feed those children. They regard women as little better than brood mares.
30 years on, and very revelatory. Interesting how the sheep of the 90s sounded almost indistinguishable from the sheep of the 60s. Really seems like it wasn't until the early 00's that things started to turn around. Still an uphill battle and the side with history and fact on their side is still grossly outnumbered by the 'but I want to do it my way' crowd, but Truth reasserts itself, one way or another.
That indignant lawyer was spot on.
Bishop George Pell is very gentile, articulate and persuasive although I personally don’t believe a word that he says. I am confused whether he was convicted of sexual assault or not. If this involved a single complaint then I am not yet convinced that he is a sexual pervert. If this involved multiple complaints from multiple people, then that really increases the chance that he did the wrong thing. We must not convict him unfairly. Anyway, I think that preventing contraception harms women because women are not in the driver’s seat of life. Also no contraception really penalizes poorer families. Contraception does NOT increase infidelity or early sex despite what the clergy say. When contraception is allowed, teenage pregnancy rates and pregnancy terminations really occur much less. There are dramatically less abortions. The Church needs women to be intimately involved in the priesthood and even up to becoming Cardinals. Christianity is fading in the western word. Only immigration keeps the Catholic Church from disappearing right now. The children and grandchildren of the Catholic and Muslim immigrants will ignore the Catholic Church and ignore the Muslim religion. Religion will be a small part of our society in the near future. Religion should not be forced on children in early school.
RS. Canada
You have no idea why the Church teaches that contraception is evil. You are attacking a straw man and also making "the end justifies the means" argument which is atheistic.
Cardinal Pell was a boss
He needed to be reminded he wasn’t Cardinal Spellman ;)
Well done cardinal Pell 👏
Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord ,and let Your perpetual light shine upon him
...God rest Cardinal Pell....The Jesuits need to be excommunicated from the church....Lord ,save them...
God bless our good and holy George Cardinal Pell. Clearly wolves in sheep’s clothing have not just extended to the end of the Cardinal’s life. But Oh what dignity, clarity, respect and truth his eminence conducted himself. He knew God was with him🙏✝️🕊RIP your eminence George Cardinal Pell 🙏✝️
did the “ sister” say overpopulation? o Lord, come!
10:50 Child: "What is genuine Catholic teaching?" Liberal Catholics: "It's a discussion between you and your culture, which is how God speaks to you. Don't worry about what some bishop says."
Follow the commandments.
*1 Timothy 3:15* “…that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the House of God, which is the *Church* of the Living God, the *Pillar* and *Ground* of the Truth.”
I am finding it hard to understand why is everyone up in arms about contraception……..didn’t God in the Old Testament say “be fruitful and multiply”?.
Rest in peace Cardinal.
One of Catholicism's most distinguished clerics, Cardinal Newman , said , " conscience is sovereign ".
I wish these debates still happened today.
the Jesuits like the Germans , have theorized theology to such an extent as to bend it into and out of shape getting things improved only to disprove them all over once again. the Lord said time and again that unless we become as these little children we would not enter his kingdom and in thinking ourselves as above our station we guarantee our absence from any station in the heavenly beatific vision with all those angels and saints.
To those who oppose the Church in matters of sexual morality, the Church reminds us that the ends do not justify the means, that the physical order cannot restore the moral order, and that compassion cannot gainsay truth.
Over population is such a crap argument.
I had forgotten what it was like when adults existed.
Wow this is amazing. God bless him and his uphill battle
I only tolerated 5 mins of this clear set up on Cardinal Pell.
Requiescat in pace.
The Jesuit priest in the audience is extremely arrogant.
“ Flying in the face of the collective wisdom of the church“… seriously? Who honestly believes that?
That lady doesn't make sense sounds liberal..why is the Church obessed with sin? Holy moly...that is why Christ died on the cross...if we didn't need to be saved if there was no sin there would have been no need for a resurection...she and those like her need to read the catechism!
Another point...these folks saying we should use our conscience...guess what when you sin and are in mortal sin your intellect becomes dim and dull...you rationalize your sin...its not about feelings its about saving souls...just astounded...these people do not know the Catholic faith...ie the liberal ones arguing for contraception etc...astounding!
Amen 🙏
Just a thought experiment, maybe a "dim intellect" is the realization that enjoying this life isn't so bad, and you don't have to live a neurotically scrupulous life under the thumb of authoritarianism. Just make sure to see people as ends in themselves made in the image of God.
Jesus certainly condemned adultery and violent anger, but in Matthew 25:31, He clearly states that those who enter the kingdom of God fed the poor, gave drink to the thirsty, cared for the sick, etc.
But you know, fixing society is not as difficult as scolding people for various sexual activities.
Distorted connscience.
@@margaritapavic hmm perhaps explain your one-liner with greater depth.
This debate aged well for one side and not so well for the other
It’s incredible is it. The best endeavours of those who want to do what ever they want to, come across as muddled as they appeared to all here.
Pell and the Church have played it straight all the bay along and stand today as the moral handrail
Truth triumphs.
