They with ears to hear, let them hear: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry. Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples! These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." Revelation 22:8-9 KJV 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.* 3 John 1:11 KJV 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.* 1 John 3:6-10 KJV 6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.* 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.* 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.* 10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

After several years of prayers and study I converted to the Catholic faith at 58 years of age. I am 63 now and there aren’t enough words to describe everything that being Catholic means to me. It really depends on what research you did to find the truth as there are many different books that sound correct but bend scripture to forward the beliefs of the author. The sacraments, The sacraments do not save you nor do they supplement the scriptures or salvation the rosary Mechanical praying not found in the scriptures , even the Hail Mary is only 1/2 in scripture the rest is false. and all of the churches prayers, the chaplets, Is there something preventing you from praying to thew only one who actually listens to you? the Saints and their writings, litanies and novenas 2 Timothy 3:15-17 .is your first priority and to hold up any writings in the light of scripture not blindly accept anythiong you read or hear. Acts 17:11 We must pray for the holy souls in purgatory Not only does purgatory not exist , there is no reason for purgatory to exist . 1 Peter 2:24 how many sins? I pray to Saint Joseph who is the patron Saint of the universal church. So in 73 books of Holy scripture no one prays to anyone but God and here you are claiming a dead saint, spirit alive in the heavenly realm, can help you ? You do not find that in scripture but you do find that in the teaching of the roman Catholic church . Why would you believe such nonsense that no one in the new testament church ever taught? This may not make sense but I pray that all religious and laity see that the church needs the Church.🙏🏼 The Church / all believers in Christ should read God's written word for their truth .

So happy you are returning to the church, it's never too late. I'm a cradle Catholic and I love our church so much. Once I learned about the Early Church Fathers and the importance of the Real Presence in The Eucharist (John 6:53-56) I could never feel right in any other church. I highly suggest you check out The Bible In A Year podcast by Fr Mike Schmidt, it's such a great resource to go deeper into the Word daily. I agree with the commenter above to go to Mass to worship and find peace, and to block out the rest. The bible mentions countless times that satan would infiltrate the church so that many would become lost sheep, but as much as it tries the gates of hades can not prevail against the church that Christ himself made.

A great sermon. There were moments when this priest's talk reminded me of Ven. Fulton Sheen's homilies. We're going to be judged by what we did, not by what we say we did. God bless him.

The Fathers of Mercy never disappoint! Their homilies always speak the TRUTH in a gentle yet sobering manner! God Bless you fathers and thank you. ❤

Please open your eyes brothers and sisters that keep Sunday before it is to late!) #6--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary prayed to/with beads. #7--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary went to/ will go to heaven. #8--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary is an mediator/intercessor. #9--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary remained a virgin all her life. #10--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary did not sin. #11--Quote the Holy Bible that says a mere man is Head of the church. #12--Quote the Holy Bible that says there are popes in kingdom. #13--Quote the Holy Bible that says we are to confess our sins to a priest. #14--Quote the Holy Bible that says there is an "one holy Apolistic church? #15--Quote the Holy Bible that says the seventh day is not the Sabbath. #16--Quote the Holy Bible that says Rome is where Jesus will have His headquarters. #17--Quote the Holy Bible that says Peter was in Rome. #18--Quote the Holy Bible that says Mary is the Ark of the covenant.

Praise God for Father Joseph Morgan! This priest gave one of the absolute BEST SERMONS I have ever heard! He is 100% correct. I have to admit that I felt the Holy Spirit convicting me as I was listening. Every single one of us MUST humble ourselves before the Lord and admit we are sinners and in desperate need of His Son's death and resurrection to save us, and let Him transform us into truly authentic Catholics who live our faith day after day. There is NO OTHER WAY to the Kingdom of God but through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said this in the Gospel of John 14:6, "I AM the way, the truth, the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me." Notice Jesus did NOT say, "I AM a way, a truth, a life ..." No. He said, "I AM THE way, THE truth, THE life ..." That is so very specific! You can't even try to argue about what He meant. It can't be any clearer than that!

Father, Fair criticism. I was guilty of being one myself. Finally woke up. Thank you for all that you do.

Wonderfully direct. More priests should preach with the candour and courage of this priest. Thank you Father. I am certainly trying to be a better Catholic all the time particularly through more prayer, Eucharist, Confession and reading of the Bible.

Its a sad reflection of the world we live in and a reflection of the church, when a man who so obviously speaks the truth, is a rare thing. God bless you father, keep speaking the truth no matter what it brings.

We need more hard truths like this sermon.

The once and only true sermon 🙌 🙏. Might our Lord bless him and protect him. 🙏❤

Such a wonderful homily! It clarified so well the wheat and the weed, and how this has infiltrated into the Catholic Church like a cancerous tumor that one doesn’t see until it has spread its ugliness and death of life and soul.

Acts 17:24 - "God Is NOT Found In earthen vessels" - THIS GUYS' CONDEMANTION OF OTHERS REALLY SUCKS! - so much for listening to Jesus Who Tells us to GET THE LOG out of our own eye first! - his JUDGING & CONDEMNING others by pointing a finger is SICKENING to the Spirit Of God Who Is LOVE & JUDGES NOT NOR CONDEMNS OTHERS. our Father CORRECTS! not condemns like this BROTHER stealing our Father's Hallowed Name & worshipping the SIN that Jesus Became.

@@LAFITZ10 Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m always very curious what people who scoff at us disillusioned Catholics do when you stumble across John 6:48-64 which clearly teaches that His flesh is true flesh, not some symbolic bread? In verse 56 Jesus indeed says unapologetically that he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him, concluding in verse 57, “so he who eats me will live because of me.” Continue in verse 61 Jesus says, “Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life , the flesh is of no avail;the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you that do not believe.” I’m also wondering if you finished listening to this homily to the end where Father Morgan says to start thy judgment with thyself first. I pray these words will bring blessing to you. God be with you.

Protestant here (hi my brothers) I see this as a common issue in lots of mainland churches today. Yes, we are all saved by grace through faith, but a true believer in Christ is inspired to do good works. To live out the faith!

Beautiful cristal clear sermon. God bless this priest. ❤🙏🙏🙏🌿🕊⚘️

Thank you Father. This is the best homily I've heard about the parable. You explained it to us in such details. I reflected on myself, how I've lived my life as a Catholic. From now on, I will use your homily as a guide to live saintly every day. I hope a pray that I could inspire and lead my family to do the same. To God be the glory! Amen!🙏

Great sermon. It is a struggle. Especially being around family who no longer practice the faith. I am trying to be caring and loving while still distancing myself from conversations that may be harmful to my soul.

@@lufhopespeacefully2037 The Catholic Church teaches authority and divine revelation from Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scriptures. “Protestants,” based on their tradition, study the Bible with these premises: - There is no binding authority but the Bible alone. - There is no official binding interpretation or interpreter. - The Bible is perspicuous (i.e., easy to understand) and can be interpreted and understood by anyone. - An individual can and should read the Bible and interpret it for himself. CATHOLICS, based on their Tradition, study the Bible with different premises: - The authority of the apostles and the Church preceded the Bible, and the Tradition of the Church is an equally infallible authority (2 Thess. 2:15; CCC 80-83). The Bible is part of the apostolic Tradition. - The authoritative interpretation of the Bible is the prerogative of the Catholic Church (1 Tim. 3:15; Matt. 18:17; CCC 85-88). - The Bible is not always easy to understand (2 Pet. 3:15-16) and needs to be understood within its historical and contextual framework and interpreted within the community to which it belongs. - Individuals can and should read the Bible and interpret it for themselves-but within the framework of the Church’s authoritative teaching and not based on their own private interpretation (2 Pet 1:20-21). These basic differences place the Catholic and Protestant worlds apart even though they are opening the pages of the same book and accepting it as an authoritative revelation from God. The Catholic position is biblical and has been espoused from the first days of the Church. The Protestant position is unbiblical and is of recent origin. The Catholic is in full continuity with historical Christianity; Protestants are in discontinuity. Catholics attending a non-denominational Bible study need to be aware of these differences and be ready not only to filter out false conclusions but also to guard themselves against the false underlying assumptions (e.g., that everything has to be found and proven explicitly in the Bible). By STEVE RAY a Protestant converted to Catholicism.

Excellent homily. Pride is terrible, and a lot of us fall into it fast, putting on airs of piety and devotion, meanwhile gossiping and attempting to judge the hearts of others, and even being outright harsh. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

i can relate to this. i moved to a place where people at Church love to show off how Catholic and happy and pious they are, but seem to come very short in terms of humility, chastity and loving one's neighbor and helping the downtrodden. i think Catholic nominalism is on the rise as people become Catholic for the wrong reasons.
