Oh my! This story made my heart swell and hurt, it made my eyes fill with tears! These people were faithful, obsessed with finding a black robe to teach them and save them! This is the best homily I’ve ever heard! HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN MADE A MOVIE YET?!?!?
Me too!! I was in tears listening to this homily. Wooow!! Why isn't it a movie? It should be, but right now, the American Indians only talk about how terrible the Catholic Church is because they claim the church took their nationality, etc. They only talk of abuses & scandal. So very sad! 😢
I was born on the flathead Indian reservation I'm enrolled in the tribe. As a boy my family moved to DeSmet idaho. A place named after father desmet. Amongst the coure d' alene indians. A tribe which is a band of the flathead tribe. Now i have family on both reservations.
The church with these beautiful stained glass windows is St. Mary's parish in Stevensville Montana in the Bitterroot valley about 25 miles south of Missoula. You can attend mass every Saturday evening at 5:00 and Sunday morning at 11:00 . The grounds that are shown in this video are adjacent to St. Mary's parish. And the beautiful old church that has the blue painted altar and also the large painting of the child called Little Paul kneeling before Our Lady is the original St. Mary's mission which is next door to the parish. During the weekdays the ladies who work in the gift shop are happy to give guided tours of the mission and grounds between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm.
Even in the spiritual wilderness of a protestant nation founded on satanic principles, the Lord has been merciful and delivered His chosen people. The angelic swiftness in obedience and reverence of Flathead Indians is remarkable as is their fortitude, they were set aside by God even before the Holy Church stepped with her most pure feet upon the soil of the New Continent. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after Justice for they shall have their fill. Let us be more grateful for the loyal officers of the Ecclesia militans, legionnaires in black. Heart of Jesus, abode of justice and love, have mercy on us.
These errors come from Protestantism. "Invincible ignorance" and "Baptism of Desire" are Catholic teachings. The Protestants teach in their place, "total depravity" and "predestination" (to Heaven or Hell). Catholic teaching ìs that Original Sin resulted in weakening of the will and intellect, not that man became totally depraved, as Protestants teach. Likewise, the Church teaches Christ died for all, but that many will choose to reject Him. The good God gives every soul the graces necessary for salvation, not that He creates some souls for Heaven, some for Hell. Sad that many Catholics are so ignorant as to mistake invincible ignorance for total depravity and baptism of desire for Calvinistic predestination to Hell.
+Marie Katherine You have no idea what you're talking about. The Catholic Church teaches that all those who die with original sin go to hell ( Denzinger 693), and that anyone who says that baptism is optional is anathema (Ibid. 861) . The only way to remove original sin is with the sacrament of baptism, so one must be baptized to have any hope of salvation. The necessity of baptism if further confirmed by the magisterial teaching that every human creature must be subject to the Roman Pontiff for salvation (Ibid. 469). One is made subject to the Roman Pontiff by incorporation into the Church, and one is incorporated into the Church via baptism. You accuse me of professing doctrines from Calvinism, which is utterly false. Catholicism does teach predestination, but not double predestination taught by Calvin. It is the teaching of sacred scripture that God will sometimes leave people in ignorance due to their bad will, but that He never compels people to sin, what Calvin taught. Your accusation of me preaching total depravity is downright absurd because I never even mentioned free will and it's subsequent weakening by the fall of man. The question of free will barely has anything to do with the necessity of baptism. The truth is that few are saved due to the immense bad will of humanity. Is this truth of the gospel, that many are damned, contrary to Catholic dogma regarding the will? absolutely not, in fact, Jesus Christ himself said that few are saved. Most people are simply of bad will and they refuse to cooperate with God's graces. As a just punishment for peoples' pride, he leaves them in ignorance because they would have rejected the gospel anyway.
I love this story I'm Blackfoot and fr DeSmet baptized many of my tribe too.

One of the most inspiring stories I've ever listened to. I hope I'll never be the same after this story.
I was born on the flathead Indian reservation I'm enrolled in the tribe. As a boy my family moved to DeSmet idaho. A place named after father desmet. Amongst the coure d' alene indians. A tribe which is a band of the flathead tribe. Now i have family on both reservations.
Nothing is impossible for GOD, amen!

See my account of the story of the Flathead and the Black Robes in my book "Our Country, Then and Now," Clarity Press, Richard C. Cook
And we're talkin about the Salish amen
This story completely annihilates the man-made theories of of "invincible ignorance" and "implicit baptism of desire".
don't it just
Yes. It makes you think about it...

It seems I'll never stop being amazed by our Church. What a great gift the good Lord gave us!
