    Unfortunately we very rarely hear much from our Church and parish leaders about the necessity of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Seems like there are plenty of people lined up to receive the Eucharist at Mass, but the line for Confession always seems shorter. As a convert, Reconciliation (a term I vastly prefer to "Confession") has been a tough one for me, and I'm sure there are times in the past where I should have gone but didn't.

    I've literally been the Publican to someone else's Pharisee: a man with nine kids accused me of 'contributing to the culture of death'' (his exact words) because I, a neurologically handicapped woman with mental health issues, am unmarried and don't have kids. It's not like I haven't tried to find a husband (I've had two bad relationships and one that didn't work out except as friends), the problem is finding a man emotionally and spiritually mature enough to accept the fact that I am not going to be some combination of the Virgin Mary and June Cleaver, that on a lot of days, it's all I can do to get meals for myself and wash my own dishes, let alone take care of a whole house and a child or two. Talk like this hurts like hell and it's made it really hard for me to connect with other Catholics, if this is what people are going to think of me.

They don't have any health issues, they have said that marriage is a lifetime commitment and they never met anyone who they could make that level of commitment to. That if it was in God's plan for them to be married they would have found a person they could do that with.

    I'm sorry for you... And it's a really weird situation seen from Italy. Here birth rate is one of the lowest in the world, lots of women have no children or only have 1 at most (I have 2 and that's over the national average), and nobody would ever dream of accusing you to the "culture of death" just because you are unmarried and without children! On the other hand, lots of Christians just love believing themselves better than other people and judging them... When my husband left me (16 years ago), my Christian friends disappeared over the following week or two, and I never heard from them anymore. And I was practically kicked out from one of the two churches I was attending (as I sometimes accompanied my mother to church in my old parish), the priest said he didn't want any separated or divorced people in his church, and from that moment on he stopped greeting me as if I were invisible...Of course I went away. In the other church I attended it went only slightly better, in the sense I wasn't actively sent away, but they didn't want me to be in any of the parish's groups or activities as my presence would be a "bad example" to the community (and never mind it was my husband who left me because he wanted to marry his lover! It seems this must have been my fault all the same). So, you see, problems are different but you can find awful people everywhere all over the world. A big virtual hug from Italy.

    Satan didn't do anything, he is a man, who made mistakes, blaming Satan is trying to take responsibility off ourselves. In all honestly I don't believe in Satan. I'm not perfect your not perfect father Casey is not perfect jimmy swaggert isn't perfect. As far as his apology, he was only sorry he got caught, if he was their wouldn't have been a second time. Everyone thinks that saying Satan made me do it , or some excuse that it's ok but God sees through our excuses and can see the real intent and if we are truly repentant. Like father Casey said I believe he had good intentions and believed what he preached, the problem is fame,and money are extremely corrupting, there is really few people who don't get corrupted by money and power. So many times I have heard oh it won't happen to me and it happens. Any way my point is that Satan didn't do it he was a competent man he knew right from wrong Satan didn't tie him down or make him do anything he was a man, we put clergyman on a pedestal as if they are able to be a perfect person and are able to control every desire and that they magically have abilities to control any kind of temptation and when they fail or slip or make a mistake they are pounced on as if what they did wrong is worse than if I did the same.our response is never a loving and forgiving response, it shock anger and retaliation . We never react the way Jesus would, he would have said he who is without sin can cast the first stone. But we pounce and scream for cancel Culture.

This was in response to those who leave the Church because those in it do not live up to it's "standard". My point being that just because many people fail to live up to the tenets of Christianity, it doesn't make Christianity itself invalid.

    This reminds me of something I learned doing prison ministry. I found that some of the finest Christians I have ever met are men serving life sentences--men who have taken another person's life. Why? It goes to the heart of what Br Casey was saying. At some point some prisoners figure out that they not good people. They discover that they need a Savior. As they turn their lives over to God and submit themselves to Him , God transforms them completely. They truly are "new men in Christ." I have concluded that the belief "I'm a pretty good person" is the greatest barrier to becoming a truly good person; good in a way that can only be attained as a gift from God.

    Thank you for this video and what you point out. It is really spot on. In the Orthodox Church besides all the prayers we have for common prayer, the main way for personal prayer is the repetition (usually using a prayer rope) of the phrase "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, THE SINNER". The repetition that "[I am] the sinner" is a great reminder that whatever I might have done good, I still am not worthy, I still have work to do and I still need the grace of God to be saved. Whatever I do good is just making a small opening to allow God to do His work in my heart and in my life. That's why Paul says "by grace you have been saved".

    In this time of extreme virtue signalling, especially on social media, this is very apt. I never looked at this point of view before and I'd say it makes so much sense. Thank you for pointing this out.

    +JMJ+ I never thought of myself to be good but I always say that I do my best, this is how I was raised and this is how I live my life. Even tho people always tell me that I'm a good person and that makes me feel uncomfortable. I only try to do what I think is right. Now after watching you Father, explaining all these things makes me realize that I am probably one of the few who don't see myself as a good person and I never will, in addition, I understand now why others think that I am a good person even I am not. God bless and Ave Maria

    I know it's a tangent but, what is your view on VeggieTales? They did help me, even though they were more Protestant it, to me, still made the "Bible" (I knew the Roman Rite version vs the King James equally) understandable and especially the Beatitudes.

    Thank you for a provocative perspective, Father. You have tackled a difficult, complex moral topic and raised a number of thoughtful questions and points. (And now here's my "but" statement) ... but in doing so, you also have also prompted a series of follow-up questions in my mind that (given the understandable limits of YT video presentations) must go unanswered. It makes me wish that these kinds of topics and discussions could be explored in more of a classroom setting or some sort of interactive forum. This is not a criticism; it's an observation.

Or list them that the Lord may bring the answers to you and we may sanctify this virtual space with holy discussions. God bless you and guide you by dear brother in Christ. Through the same Blessed Lord and Savior of All, Jesus Christ. Amen,

    It isn't hard to fall short of the glory of God. The hard part is seeing it, admitting it, and wanting to change it, really deep down wanting to change. The sins I fear most are the one I don't really want to change; the "small", "private", "hurts-no-one" sins. I read some where that God can do want we can't.

    As an adult I've felt that Righteousness/Righteous is one of the most overused words in most circles. At its truest most authentic form Righteousness is what we strive for, but our flawed nature means that we usually end up debasing it to lord over others. It is humbling to know that what I have been experiencing as of late has a name and I will make sure to share that cool Franciscan help me to see a bit clearer the scales on my eyes and the hardness of my heart, thank you. In my next Cursillo grouping I will make sure to share this, for like you said it is an unconscious slide.

    One of my protestant colleagues always quoted Ravi Zacharias preaching. I was shocked of his scandal which came to light towards the end of his life.
