      It's Greek, and it means "regarding/applicable" to the "entirety/whole", so it's not so much to do with "the universe" itself (), but more to do with the Apostolic authority of "The Church" ... The other word is "Orthodoxy" (>), and it means "correct worship"...
      Eastern Orthodox people consider themselves to be "catholic" (not Roman Catholic), and Roman Catholic consider themselves to be "orthodox" (not Eastern Orthodox)... Go figure.

    , I’m such a fan of these videos. I am a a Franciscan by nature. When I was young I was deeply religious and it was my desire to be a priest or brother. I went to a Catholic boarding school in Lebanon. When I graduated my parents took me away from there to the US and pressured me away from religious life. I am a medical professional and spent most of my career serving as a relief worker in Sudan, Somalia and Sierra Leone. I did so at great personal risk believing it was my calling to care for the poor and victims of war. I am 70 years old now and wonder how my life would have been different if I had not allowed my parents pressure me away from the life I really wanted. In my soul I am a follower of Saint Francis.

    I'm lucky enough to stay at a Benedictine abbey and am amazed at their devotion to their vocation. (which for many is decades long). When chatting at dinner the inevitable question comes up from one of the male participants of the retreat. "So when does the desire for women go?" I'm sure they've been asked this a multitude of times. The monk will give a wry look and say in a whisper "when the last nail goes in the coffin"" It's funny (they are!) but actually it also shows that every day their outwardly serene existence is an interior battle as well. For to commit to one way of living, means you do without the world's offering. Hence "in the world, but not of the world" Truly wonderful, God blessed people.

    I was raised in the great Opus Dei spirituality, and so understand Catholicism through the lens of daily work and being extraordinary in a completely ordinary life. The priests of our school (and go figure, the university I study in now too 💀) also take a much greater focus on our Lady, never forgetting to turn to her intercession at the end of every meditation.
    I find it so fascinating that every single spirituality of the Church gets to know the exact same God, the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church, but from unique perspectives. The parish my family celebrates mass in is Benedictine, and I get my formation online from Franciscans like fr. Casey, and other groups like Word on Fire.
    Getting to learn about all these spiritualities and getting to synthesize everything they hope to teach us about our Lord is wonderful.
    Praise be to God! 🙏

    Dear Fr. Casey, thank you very much for this beautiful video. How wide and beautiful the Catholic world is. Thank you for featuring Opus Dei as well.
    Some comments: Strict fasting and physical mortifications are not so important in Opus Dei. They are practiced moderately and under the guidance of a spiritual director only by less than a third of all Opus Dei members, the so-called, (celibate living) numeraries. And only insofar as they strengthen in love for Christ. 70% of all Opus Dei members are supernumeraries, most of whom are married and tend to fast very little and, moreover, do not practice corporal mortifications. The key points of Opus Dei spirituality are: Sanctifying oneself through work, sanctifying ones work, sanctifying others through work, sanctifying oneself through marriage, living an intense prayer life, living contemplatively in the midst of the world with a priestly soul and laical mentality, joy and friendship. Penance and confession are sacramental instruments that are frequently used.The spirituality of Opus Dei is very Marian and eucharistic. It is necessary for all members to deeply understand and live the spirit of Opus Dei, virtuous and striving for holiness through God's abundant grace.
    Opus Dei is not a religious order; its members, except for the priests, are not clerical. Opus Dei is (said with a smile) anti-clerical and has flat hierarchies. Naturalness in the way of living religiously is important. One wears neither special clothing nor signs of belonging. Opus Dei is not a secret society.
    It is the only full-fledged and thoroughly catholic form of following Christ known to me ... without having to give up one's standing in the world. In Opus Dei, the world is not opposed to the effort to sanctify oneself.

      The Second Vatican Council did not call for the liturgical abuses that appeared in the Catholic Church in the 1970s. The Catholics you spoke to have probably never actually read the Vatican II documents -- there's nothing heretical in them. Vatican II was a pastoral council, not a dogmatic council; thus, Vatican II left some teachings undefined because it was assumed that the dogmatic councils (such as Council of Trent and Vatican I) were already settled teachings. Unfortunately, the Modernists within the Catholic Church played "barracks room lawyers" and the implementation of Vatican II was flawed. The trend within the Catholic Church is going back towards the old traditions.

    I'm more inclined towards Opus Dei because St. Josemaria was perhaps one of the most prolific Catholic theologians of the 20th century. His writings on the pursuit of daily sanctification are pretty concise, uncomfortably specific (considering it was written ~90 years ago) and fairly simple to follow.
    If anyone wants to read more of his work I suggest reading : The Forge, Friends of God & The Way.

    “Opus Dei is known for its commitment to regular prayer, strict fasts, and the mortification of the flesh”.
    Regular prayer it´s a characteristic of an Opus Dei member. However, I wouldn´t say that strict fasts are. Most of the Opus Dei members do not use cilium and disciplines. They seek to acquire a spirit of penance with small mortifications that only God sees. Of course, Opus Dei members fast sometimes, like any Catholic. But, usually, they have their regular meals every day. Saint Josemaría used to say: Among the ingredients of your meal include that “most delicious” one, mortification. Opus Dei members seek little mortifications all over the day: at meals, at work, cooking, driving, chatting with family, playing any sport with friends…

    Q: What's the difference between a Dominican and a Jesuit?
    A: How many Cathars do you know?
    Ba-dum-tss
    I kid! I kid!
    And yes, I'm aware that the Jesuits weren't founded specifically to combat the heresies of their day. It's a joke that takes a little liberty with history.
    Honestly, I'm more inclined towards the Franciscan way as I get older. But it's good that we have such a diversity of communities to provide a home for everyone.

      The Benedictines, the Franciscans, the Dominicans, & the Jesuits all gathered for evening vespers in the big church. Suddenly, the lights went out. The Benedictines carried on with the evening vespers. The Franciscans joyfully praised kind Brother Darkness. The Dominicans rigorously debated the nature of darkness. The Jesuits vehemently protested, saying that because there were no lights, they were hereby relieved of the duty of praying the evening vespers.

    Thank you. I enjoyed this very much. When I first converted to the RC church, protestants were bewildered and asked WHY???? Leaving the LDS people and seeking God I spent time in several other churches and gained much from each. My struggle was that one wonderful thing that would be accepted by one church was rejected by another, though the second church would have something wonderful rejected by the others. When I investigated the RC church, I found everything everyone else had (in one form or another). It is as if the RC church is more of an umbrella covering all aspects of Christianity rather than a single denomination. I have never regretted my choice.

    I spent College in a Vincentian University. The buildings are named after St. Vincent de Paul and other Vincentians: Frederick Ozanam, John Perboyre, and Francis Regis Clet. Their focus is in the Mission and in spreading the word of God to other - usually hostile - parts of the world. Which explains why a lot of Vincentians ended up as martyrs who willingly died for the Faith. De Paul University in Chicago is also founded by Vincentians, but it is curious that their school nickname for competitions is the "Blue Demons" 😅.

    I LOVE that you mentioned De Chardin, I have a personal massive interest in his work, his understanding of the gospel has unlocked understanding the Bible as divine poetry for me. It's not for everyone and some may like to argue it's even bordering on heretical, but as someone who is, while faithful, just not able to convince myself that Genesis and Revelation (Alpha and Omega, so to say...) are meant in the literal sense, his theories have helped me understand them as a poetic description of incredibly complex physical processes that only a divine being could have set in motion, and only a divine outside observer could have witnessed and described in such a way.

    I just love this video, thanks Father Casey!! I grew up Catholic, but didn't really understand Catholicism. When I went to college, I left the Church and became a born-again, non-denominational Evangelical Christian. However, as I learned new ways to look at Scripture and do my regular Bible studies and evangelism, I met an Opus Dei Priest at the end of my Junior year. I attended the Catholic Family Conference where I met Scott and Kimberly Hahn, I had just finished reading their book "Rome, Sweet Home" and other book by Catholic Answers "Catholicism and Fundamentalism". When I graduated from undergrad, I went back to going to Mass, and it was the Opus Dei lay men and the priests that convinced me what I was missing out on!
