I somehow saw it and still I didn't see that coming 😂
"But hey, it's just a theory. A HOLY THEORY."
@@Inevitable934 thanks for praying

As an atheist, I appreciate you answering these questions so openly. I watch your videos because it gives me a perspective on other people's beliefs, I find it interesting.
It is good to see people who are interested in understanding rather than belittling.
It's good seeing someone that's open minded overall, really hard to find someone like that, nowadays the moment someone finds another person with an opposing viewpoint they simply go "ummm bigot, blocked and cancelled in Twitter!"
@DuramaxL5P excellent. Remaining interested in others with different views is the sign of a decent intelligent person.
Agreed. I’m also an atheist and am also subscribed. This guy’s clearly educated and intelligent, and I like watching his videos about his ideas and his life as a catholic monk.
I think we can all agree that religion isn’t going anywhere and is a huge part of humanity in general. Good to be in touch with it no matter what we believe.
God speaks in whispers, but he can also rock you to your very core. I used to work in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. It was a very difficult job. Clients frequently misbehaved, violated center policies, tried to sneak in drugs, etc. One night, it was worse than usual. A fight broke out, the police were called and I stayed at work for an extra two hours giving the police statements and filling out incident reports. I got out of work at roughly 1am and my nerves were shot and I felt like garbage. I prayed to God and said “Why am I doing this? What’s the point of tormenting myself trying to help these people when they just want to destroy themselves?”
Eventually I started driving home and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep for a while. I was just too shaken. So I went to a 24 hour Walmart to pick up a few groceries just to do something productive and to waste some time while I tried to calm down.
At 1:30 in the morning at a random Walmart, I ran into two former clients from the rehab center. It was near Christmas time and they were out buying stuff for an ugly sweater party they were attending with their Narcotics Anonymous group. They both looked happy, bright eyed and healthy. Both of them had been nightmares at the rehab center, but eventually came to take the program seriously and here they were turning over a new leaf.
I asked God “why?” And he showed me. I think it’s the most dramatic answer to my prayers that I have experienced.
Thanks for sharing brother, I needed to hear this video and your comment as well. I was a medic and now and an RN for the past 25 years, I have seen a lot of hate and violence in the world. Short story, born Catholic, Protestant in my younger years, pissed off at God for 30 year and 3 years ago came back to the Catholic Church. I was angry for so long that now it is my barometer, when I am peace my sole is where it needs to be. These last few weeks that anger has creeped back in, especially tonight. Your story has helped recenter me and I am grateful, God bless you!!!!
@@rdrun51660 God bless you too, brother. There is so much evil in this world, but with God, we can endure and conquer.
Just imagine how many others are out there that you (and others) have helped, you changed their lives, you cared when nobody else (including themselves) cared, and are out there living a better and more purposeful life. Be the light. May God bless you and keep you.
That is beautiful, my brother 😊❤
Thank you for this story, brother. I too experience these "coincidences". But as these keep occurring at perfect times that coincide with your prayers, you start to really recognize that there are no coincidences. There is only God and His power to make things happen. I am happy for you , brother. For this story means He listens to you and values the faith you put in Him. God bless you and your patients.
I'm happy you returned.
We all missed your videos,your wisdom and your teachings ✝️🇻🇦.
Really?
@@rjskeptic5273 YEAH REALLY!!!!!!!
@@kalanimoeai584 A little bit louder next time.
Poor you
@@louseveryann2181 Why? Because I don't believe in a god but rather live my life and draw from reality instead of fantasy.
Atheist here. I wish more people (both believers and non-believers) were like you. I hope you live a good life. ❤
Agreed. I don't engage with believers who just want to experience their faith. That have that right without trolls passing by. However, don't bash atheists - or the things they hold dear. You will no doubt get an answer. Why not engage in dialog - and try to understand one another? "Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood".
what do you mean? do you want know Christ? every religion group has its weirdos. what do you want?
„atheist here“ so cringe
@@hamiltonian4698 Huh. I guess I'm not as "cool" as kids these days. I wouldn't be surprised.
@@hamiltonian4698 Another atheist here. Matthew 7:1, Luke 6:37-38, James 4:11-12, Romans 2:1-3, Romans 14:1-4, Romans 14:10 and John 8:7.
Having grown up a Christian, but largely agnostic in my adult life, there’s still a thread that binds me to the Church. So much of the time, that thread is simply your outstretched hand. Thanks for being there, even when I didn’t know I needed you.
@pipebo staying connected is important. God doesn't abandon you, he'll always keep the thread there. Sometimes it feels looser sometimes tighter, but it's always there. Stay connected. Hold on tight to the thread when you need support.
Poor you
@pg4662
Poor summer child...
Poor you
Got baptised this Easter vigil, from Eastern Orthodoxy to Catholicism (for clarification I wasn’t baptised as an Eastern Orthodox I just went to a Church and I agreed with their theology)
Welcome! 🎉
Awesome!
God bless!
Wait, were u not baptized in Eastern Orthodoxy? Their baptism is valid?
Regardless congratulations my brother and we welcome you into the fullness of the truth!
@@generalyousif3640 yes Eastern orthodox sacraments are VALID! Catholic Church rejects Donatism.
When I was 15, I became an atheist because I believed the church didn't have an answer for these questions. I couldn't have been more wrong. People much smarter than me had tackled these questions over the centuries. Each of these questions could have an entire book as a response. But you get a great job giving a succinct answer to each one. Thanks, Fr. Casey!
I went through something similar in college. The secular schools taught us that religion didn’t have answers to these questions. I found my faith again after college when I started researching and found apologetics!
Opposite, when I was 17 I stopped believing and will never be religious again
You give me hope for my agnostic daughter. Thankyou
@@lucilleyoung5972 nothing wrong with not believing in fairytales

Because of you Fr I am looking forward to joining the Augustinian order of friars. Thanks for you inspiration

Why do you want to waste your life?
"Why Christianity Over Other Religions?" (4:53 - 5:26)
My answer: I choose Christianity because no other religion articulates, and has at is center, such a profound expression of love by God to humanity. At the heart of love is sacrifice, and it is only in Christianity that we find the most extreme sacrifice that demonstrates an undeniable love.
And if you don't love Him back, He'll torture you forever. Yep, that's real love.
Look up why would a loving God send people to Hell from websites like Catholic Answers@@BobHutton
I agree, but if I was talking to a skeptic from a purely logical position, I would say it is simply because the apostles preached and died for their faith for a reason and that reason is because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
@@thomasfleming8169 Except that there is very little evidence that any apostles died for their faith. (I will grant there is some, fairly weak, evidence that Peter was martyred). Most of the disciples just disappeared from the historical record (as well as the Biblical record).
Sure, Nero persecuted Christians, but that was because he was blaming them for the Great Fire of Rome. He wouldn't have been interested in hearing them recant. He just wanted someone to blame.
@BobHutton that is not true. The apostles were martyred, and there is stronger evidence than you say. Paul is one well-known example. Also, many Christians were martyred during the subsequent persecutions by Roman emperors. The persecutions lasted hundreds of years with huge amounts of martyrs.
Hi. I'm not Catholic, however I really like your videos and you reaching out to people with your viewpoint and thoughts. Glad to see you back and hope you're well 👍
It's good to see you again, Fr.! God bless you 🙏
My Fav friar priest Is back!
Who is your second favourite?
Love to see a new video from Fr. Casey!
I do too!!!
I mean there's no evidence that Aristotle, Socrates and Plato exited, but people believe they did.
yeah, the historical record might be tampered with, but it's pretty clear that people lived in ancient Greece and wrote books
@@AMC2283 I mean there are books in the Bible about Christ too. But atheists say that's not a proof. But when there are books about greek philosophers, they take them as evidence.
@@user-bv8wr3vw4xThe difference is that Aristotle nor the other two never claimed to be the son of god. They have not been depicted as miracle-making men as Jesus was. This is why it is easier to accept the greek pilosophers existence than the existence of a literal god in the form of a man.
Now I am happy to accept Jesus being a real man but the things he did…turning water into wine? Well, not so much. Of course there can be an underlying teaching in every story in the bible, but no one should read and take it literally. And when it comes to Socrates, well, maybe he did not exist. But the teachings of the written text about him are still valuable. Just as bible can be, if read analytically.
I've been catching up on your older videos. It's great to have you back!
How to learn faith and English at the same time 😁 God bless your for this awesome work
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Good to see you back, Father Casey! I missed your wisdom and engaging homilies!
YEAH!! A new video! I’m glad you’re back and I’ve missed you!!
So happy you are back Fr Casey. God Bless You .🙏🏻
So delighted to see you again, father Casey. I hope things are good for you. Best wishes from Ireland.
Happy you are back. I know it’s been tough. You were missed
It’s great to have you back, Father. Your videos have helped me immensely understand my Catholic faith
I'm very happy to see that you are back! And the video was very inspiring and great overall, it gave me a lot to think about! I'd love to see a part two of this.
Great to see you Fr.
I am glad to see you are back Father Casey. I know its only been nearly two month since your last entry, and you are busy having launched your new interview podcast (Minor Characters) and attending to your own local pastoral duties. So I appreciate you taking the time to upload to this channel whenever you can. As always, this is exceptional and edifying content.
It's so good to see you back. . After I moved away You and my pastor have been a big spiritual guidance.
Welcome back man!!!! Great to hear from you!!!!
I've missed you. Nice to see you again. x
So relieved to see you back again. Thought you had gone away. Good conference.
Do you know why he had gone away? Have you wondered what happened to the other channel "Upon Friar Review"? Look up what happened to his accolyte Father Patrick Tuttle. Google it. You will be shocked
So happy to see you again. Do keep making the relevant material like you do.
This is well done. I am proud of the work that you do on this channel.
You are a blessing to the Church Fr Casey - very happy to see you back
Thank you for this Fr. Casey ❤
Great content, Father Casey! It’s great to see you again :)
Hi Father, Hope you are well and safe, it’s great to see you bless you🙏🏻
This is great!! Love this format ❤ God bless
Very well made video. I believe US evangelicals have done so much damage to Christianity in the US that now instead of being seen as a religion or a way of life Christianity is seen as a political stance. Glad to hear people from the Catholic church speaking about all of these things.
The Roman Catholic church is evangelical... Father Casy clearly is an evangelical
@@russellmiles2861 I don't think you understand the distinction that OP is making.
@@russellmiles2861I think you’re confusing evangelism with proselytism. We Catholics evangelize and rely on a “come and see” approach, allowing non-Catholics to choose whether they want to be Catholic or not. Evangelicals and most other non-Catholic groups proselytize by basically trying to force people to join them by threatening them with Hell or other things.
@@Powerranger-le4up I wasn't saying churches may be less than ethical.
Regardless, all Christians churches are evangelical - bringing the God News to people. They wish folk to be saved and become part of the communion with God.
That is what Father Casey does. He is clearly very popular. I imagine his Bishop is very pleased with his work on social media.
I also blame the media for focusing on crazy Evangelical and far-far right wing churches instead of the quiet, loving works of the RCC and Mainline Protestants.
This was such a beautiful video, thank you so much for your answers!
Bravo, Father Casey!! Glad you’re back!
Father I'm so happy you came back! I love your videos, they are very good!
Praying for you! 🙏
My favorite online priest, Fr. Casey I thank you for helping me in faith
I'm always so happy to see your videos in my feed Fr.
Great to have you back father! Excellent video as usual! U Never disappoint!
Father Casey your videos helped me convert to catholicism this April. Thank you so much and God bless you.
Good to see you, Father Casey.
God bless.
An outstanding video, Fr. Casey. Thank you for posting it, sir.
I was wondering when I'd see the fruits of that poll. Welcome back, Fr. Casey. I hope you're good. Be assured of my prayers for you and your brothers.
Happy to see you again 🎉
It is really nice that some atheists sometimes watch your addresses and you probably receive some feedback. I remember, when I was not a Christian yet, I was sometimes confused by strange Christians. There was a TV program "Victorious voice of the believer", or something like this, and there was a preacher who told different stories there. One of stories was approx. such: "When I started to preach, I had got just one good shirt, and my wife needed to wash it each time when I went to preach. And now I have a special room in my house - and it is full of shirts. Hallelujah! " And it seemed so obvious that if the most important thing he got from G-d was a room full of shirts, then there is absolutely no reason to become a Christian - there are many much convenient ways, how to get many shirts. So, I think such issues too need to be spoken about with atheists - that Christianity is not about shirts. And I am happy that you are doing it.
That's funny.
But as an atheist I understand that the supposed reward is the eternal salvation of the soul, and some lesser spiritual benefits during life.
(In that case. Pascal's Wager is bad)
The real benefits, empirically verifiable, tend to be therapeutic, moralizing and socializing effects of the rituals practiced. Regardless of the veracity of creationism.
Awesome to see you back, Br Casey!
Very well said, and welcome back, Father!
So glad to see you Fr Casey
The man himself is back
Fr Casey, your wisdom is always on target 🎯 I'm so thankful for you and your voice standing up for Christianity and Catholics! The world would be a perfect place if more people thought the way you do! May God bless and keep you always❤️✝️💜
So glad you're back Fr. Casey. ♥
Good one Fr. Casey 🙏🏼
Very inspirational video. I saved it to my favorites. Thanks, Father.
So glad you are back Father Casey! I am going on a mission trip with Totus Tuus in Milwaukee so I've been trying to watch literally all your videos just in case a little one or youth happens to have a question on a unrelated topic. It's my first time being a Totus Tuus missionary so I wish me luck!!
Good to have you back Padre!
So happy you're back!!! I hope the coming videos will bring more souls than ever closer to God and his church.
Father Casey is gifted in answering questions.
Oh like most Aplogiticist Father Casy evades questions...just tackles nice things.
But he still can't supply any credible evidence for his claims.
"Haters will always Find a reason to Hate"
@@davidbeatus4243 Who are the haters?
@@terryschofield1922 from my very own perspective here, i am a religious person and most of the time, i do not use science to answer my questions i do not need such detailed and fancy evidences or information to satisfy my curiosity. Different people, different ways, his responses are already enough for people like us, because just like him, we do not need calculations, law of physics or stuff like those, we have faith and that's enough, that's already the strongest and clearest proof to us. There'll be those who find satisfactory in this video and those who not, haters will hate, doutbters will doubt, believers and followers will still be strong in their faith and many more, it all depends on your needs, what you truly want him to provide you, in the name of science, or for us, in the name of God. So brother, i pray that you'll soon find what you're seeking, i wish you the best!
Thank you for this video! So inspiring.
Wonderfully answered questions, and the simplicity of the video is quite fitting! Love the way you explain and hold the thought process and lead to a true conclusion! 😎❤🙏
It's good to see you god bless you fr Casey
I appreciate your lack of condescension in this video, especially for the question about suffering. I love seeing priests be pastoral in a way that feels natural.
I don't know, man. I found the bit about "sometimes, suffering purifies us" to be pretty condescending. Grieving parents, dead infants, cancer in children, whole families wiped out in natural disasters, mental illnesses, all that jazz..
Looking at how much suffering there is in the world, how many of us would rather NOT go through that rather than be "purified"?
@@Alexander_Kale I mean, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Some things happen that don't seem justifiable. I definitely struggle with theodicy myself. When I said lack of condescension I meant the lack of assuming the other side is stupid or bad faith. I don't mean his statement addresses all possible objections. I have faced horrible horrible stuff. Others, worse even. So what you consider condescending I attribute to the brevity of the video. Not that you're not allowed to disagree.
@@eliinapajunen7500 " I meant the lack of assuming the other side is stupid or bad faith" I understood that. It is exactly what I was adressing as well. Because either there is no lack of bad faith on this video, or father casey is an honest manwho is merely giving the appearance of bad faith unlknowingly with his horrible responses. The latter of which I find rather unlikely.
I mean, for crying out loud, the bit about Ghengis Khan? Yeah, no, absolutely not, no man can possibly be this ignorant, that had to be a deliberate bad faith argument.
@@Alexander_Kale I don't know. If you're right that sucks. I just assumed he believes what he says. Just because I think there's no good answer to theodicy doesn't mean he doesn't believe his answers are good.
I mean the only thing that really comforts me is that God compassionates us through the unspeakable. That God accompanies us in the horrors. That's how I get by.
If it doesn't work for you, it's your right to feel whatever way. I don't understand the need to get mad at the UA-cam priest when obviously he has to toe the company line so to speak
Glad to see you back, i hope you are ok it must have been a tough few months.
Thank you, Fr. Casey, for your presence and wisdom.
I don’t necessarily agree with all Catholic practices and ideologies, but I feel Father Casey has truly grasped the meaning of Christ, which is to love God and others as yourself. Watching his videos has brought me hope and assurance that I am going in the right direction with my faith.
We can't force the truth. As it is written; the road is narrow, and there are few that will find it... Pain, is forever; but, life, is for the living!
Grazie di cuore ! Ciò che apprezzo di più nei suoi video è il suo affrontare delle questioni complicate in un modo diretto, sincero e semplice! Dio la benedica
THANKS FOR BEING BACK
Hey Fr. Casey, I’m Catholic but I still found these answers helpful. Thank you for sharing this.
Yay, he's back! Thank you God!
Good to see you, folks been praying for you, Father! 🕊
This is such an amazing channel, thank you Father!! These are exactly the kinds of questions Christians should be answering
"We know how the world works now..." No, no we don't.
Glad to have you back father Casey I missed your videos. I was also wondering what happened to the friars react channel? I can't seem to find the videos anywhere
That channel has been removed.
@@JackieDaytona1776 Anyone have any idea why?
@@MrPanDacious apparently the older one was accused of sexual misconduct. But I'm not sure if it's just allegations now
@@YW2324 Although they refer to it as sexual misconduct, they also refer to a "abuse victim", so it's likely more than him just breaking his vows. He was removed from public ministry after an internal investigation following the allegations so they likely had merit.
I missed your videos, welcome back
The best thing I think I've ever done was helping someone who had gone through the worst suffering of anyone I ever met. The reason I was able to help her a bit might be that I have had a somewhat similar experience, but way less bad.
If my bad experience was the cause of my ability to help, I'm actually grateful that I had it, because I was able to do something that did way more good than the bad done to me, and I might have been the only person around who could do it.
Father Cole , please pray for Catholics in the Netherlands. This is such a secular country with few young Catholics which makes it hard to hear Gods voice sometimes.
Also churches are empty or filled with elderly. Churches are closed and made to appartement buildings etc.
🇻🇦 ✝️ Thank you and God bless you father.
When asked why Christianity, I say that other religions teach us how to reach up to God but only Christianity teaches how God reaches down to is.
How good it is to see and hear you again. May God bless you more and more.
This is excellent. Bravo for opening a dialog without being combative.
Thank you Father Casey.
I’m so glad you’re back. It’s good to have some sanity back in apologetic videos. I had to watch OTHER apologists. Don’t make me have to do that again. LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not even Catholic, but the sanity and clarity with which he answers these questions really speaks to me. It's such a rare talent that suggests to me that he actually gets the message with his heart, not just understands it with his mind.
@@adamkotter6174I became Catholic after watching his videos. He was able to explain my apprehensions in such a way I understood them and could accept them.
The best responses ever. You nailed it, Father 🙏
Wonderful video Father C. I have to remind myself of these answers from time to time and love that you do it so succinctly. I will be sending to my sons who have "paused" on church attendance. Say hi to Fr. Patrick.
Good to see you posting again. You’re pretty much my source for interesting and pro-religion content.
Being a person who doesn’t have faith in anything (unless you count things like “everyone will always act in their self interest”), I feel weird going into a church, and feel I don’t belong there. But I wish I could believe. So much that it pops up every few years. But yeah, glad to see you back:
The longest journey begins with a single step. Peace be with you. ❤❤❤
You are not alone in your feelings.
I love the point that Fr. Casey made about seeking out a God who answers quietly. The Lord loves effort, and I know that you really do belong with Him. I have seen for myself that all those who sincerely and patiently try to get to know God, those who really want to be changed by Him into better people, find Him eventually. If you really want a change of heart into a more compassionate and virtuous person, find a quiet spot and try to have a heartfelt conversation with Him, speaking as though He were there in the room with you even if it feels silly. Don't give up even after many days and multiple attempts. He will eventually answer you in an individual, recognizable way. There are also guides like missionaries you can contact if you want help on this journey. It really works, and it's really worth it.
@@adamkotter6174 This just seems like a lot of unnecessary work for no endgoal. Even if the God in the Bible was in reality.
I don't get the point of wanting to believe.
You have to put in so, so much work to maintain that façade, when you could just chill
❄ or reflect upon your life.
Thank you father for your lovely explanations. :)
I joined the Church at Easter as well! Thanks Fr. Casey for your videos. They helped me if I had any questions about anything while going through RCIA.
EXCELLENT! More of this please, Father Casey. Your responses help theists as well :) Soli Deo Gloria!
Will you ever address the elephant in the room disappearance of Tuttle, or are we left with the one somewhat mysterious official statement?
It would just be nice to know from you directly why you aren't going to talk about the topic itself. I can respect that.
I can't respect ignoring it completely.
He looked up to Tuttle so much, and I think he himself is struggling to understand it and come to terms with it. Maybe eventually he will address it, but I wouldn't bet on it
@@antoinebayram4957a lot of his followers looked up to him too. It's uncomfortable and isn't fair to Fr. Casey but a message of hope or optimism would go a long way to a lot of angry people. Ignoring it altogether is a weak move and too stereotypical. I believe Fr. Casey is better than that. I guess we'll see.
There has been no arrest. There have been allegations. I would rather see this go through the justice system and have accountability legally if he is guilty. To me it seems unclear if this is the churches over reaction to allegations because of their gross negligence in the past or if he has confessed to abuse or there is a criminal investigation. I’m very saddened by all of this. I believe we deserve answers. Father Casey should only speak when he has something concrete to say. Platitudes would not be helpful. We know Father Casey doesnt support abuse.
Criminal allegations are public. The charges are announced and a mugshot posted. The church should be no different. This is a coverup for PR purposes plain and simple. Erase him from the internet, hope people who don't know never find out, and hope everyone who does know forgets.
Hi Father Casey, it is the old Irish guy from the bar and ball game in Phoenix, I know that probably does not help a lot. This video is amazing, in my heart I am always looking for ways to be a better evangelist for Jesus. The points are honest, clear cut, compassionate and I can hear the Holy Spirit guiding you in them!! But how you deliver the message is even better, see, I have a temper and when people get nasty, hateful or just disrespectful about God or the Catholic Church, I loose my temper. I pray all the time for peace in my heart that I might not only be a great witness, but someone who is calm in adversity and can really turn the other cheek. As a former medic in Houston and now an RN, I am really calm when people are shot, in cardiac arrest or are dying. But don't talk bad about the Lord or the church, it is so hard not to bet fired up and start a fight. So pray for me that I might be the calm in the storm where it matters most, when it involves Jesus, the Church and my sole. GOD BLESS YOU FATHER AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
likewise.. I get fired up when it comes to disrespectful people, I sometimes become a keyboard warrior but even saints have a temper too... so, I think we can still work it out... I guess it is just part of the "CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE". I pray that both of us will be able to bear the Fruits of the Holy Spirit which is gentleness and self control, well... I guess patience as well. 😊 God Bless us all!
You addressed all of these questions so beautifully.
Whoowhoo Father Casey!!!!❤ praying 🙏 for you. Glad to see you. What a great video & WOW look at the comments. You're doing such a good job 👏
It is RIDICULOUS that Upon Friar Review was deleted. I loved watching two priests react to different pop culture things :(
Google Father Patrick Tuttle. There's a reason for it. Stuff happened. Accusations
Fr. Casey hides the facts about Fr. Patrick, as this toxic Church trained him... as if nothing happened, as if innocent persons were not harmed....enough!
Sad that I didn't know you were making this video. As an atheist who has had an odd fixation with Catholicism for the last while, so much so that I actually did a traditional Lent this year (no animal products at all from Ash Wednesday all the way to Easter!), I'd have loved to contribute a question.
Next time
As a Catholic, I really appreciate the perspective of many atheists. They have sharpened my own understanding and faith.
Outstanding. As a practicing Roman Catholic, it is sheer joy to hear an ordained priest preach such peace and wisdom. I believe it is especially important to preach the truth that Heaven is open to all who are pleasing to Christ, regardless of how their beliefs were branded in this world.
This video is a true blessing. I've been going through a hard moment with my faith and I usually have a lot of questions, so seeing a video from a mature person that is so clear about God's word is just refreshing! ❤
