Catholicism...different subject.

I love Frank skinner, love his stand up, and his poetry podcasts, looking forward to reading his prayer book

A Comedian's Prayer Book is very good. Speaking of poetry, please let me share this very short poem I wrote that was published in the Catholic weekly The Tablet, 'Sign': 'I don't need a / spinning sun/ moving statue/ or parting sea:/ Lord, a strawberry/ is enough for me'. Thank you and God bless!

Have you seen The Chosen? I loved that they included some humour and as Frank says... you can't have a bunch of guys hanging out for so long without jokes coming out :)

Love Frank , my views of the world are as one with Frank and i dont think I've ever read a funnier book than his autobiography .

Awesome dialogue

I do like Frank Skinner. I’m a catholic too and I get where he’s coming from.

Great stuff

I love Frank. He’s been part of my life as a kid with Fantasy Football and to now as a Catholic convert. I also cannot stand it when people blaspheme around me but also choose to let it go. It’s comforting in a weird way to hear another Catholic talk about that experience.

Love Frank!

27:13 I had to hold back the tears ...

my opinion is that the Catholic church has long standing some of the most original and best Christian doctrine. BUT the corruption of the priesthood has always been the main worry, and i think still deters most Christians from supporting the Roman Catholic church. well done to Frank for holding on to his Catholic faith.

Priests are men. All are sinners. Some are unrepentant sinners but most are beautiful holy men that lead others to Christ.

Love the content but the image composition does not adhere to the rule of thirds

I enjoyed this alot. I liked the fact that I agreed with some of what Frank said and a few fundemntals I didn't and a few things to highlight regarding interpretations and struggle between post modernistic type views regarding gender, structures and deviation from source material with a mindset that as a religion it needs to compromise and move with times so to speak. I disagreed with frank in regard to there is a fundermental structure in place for a reason, the truth and God is a blueprint for a successful life. We are all sinner by default and why he died for our sins. I think we're I disagreed with how frank explained it was that marriage is the joining of two people out of love, a commitment to be there through life and all the challenges it brings. Its there to platform the bringing of new life in children as a family. I think science and man has confused and muddied the waters and because we now have woman having children for couples who cant it then asks us a difficult question. If God is the creator and he gave us science isn't the practice then more acceptable? We also have to understand why do we bring a child into this world for us as a couple,? Being a parent is sacrifice and the world becomes about them, if your doing it for self serving reasons thats the wrong place to start.God has given us many opportunities to be able to do many things, some good for us some not and perhaps we should be asking just because we can, should we? If you consider making a family and family it means to create somthing long term and good, if it's sex for quick dopamine with no meaningful connection tion the end is empty. My point being that the plan and blueprint is there. It does not evolve to suit society if its the truth than people will come to it which is why u see people who have had difficult lives wrong choices building their relationship with God and there own self. What we can be as believers is forging and compassionate with humility. The religion is not there to dehumanise or osterisize anyone, that's the very people it's there for as by the very nature of all our sins and faults, we dont deviate but have compassion in the delivery. His word is in us in our own conscious of an awareness of somthing greater thsn ourselves. I also don't agree with the other gentlemen, yes God is the truth but the moment u demean someone else's connection through God if they are another religion is the moment u allow your own ego in. The truth and word of God is enough and that confidence is actually knowing he is with u means you don't need to fight to get someone to listen. They will come.u can't force morality through law, u can't make someone see, u have to know darkness to build relationship with the light

Frank skinner is a man of biblical contradictions - on the one hand he believes the church is too nice and needs to be more like St Paul to assert itself in a secular world, on the other hand advocating the church should deviate from the bible on issues such as transgender, marriage etc - St Paul had a very different view on homosexuality Interesting conversation none the less, particularly for christians who don’t hear views beyond their bible study group or church I think Frank was applying shock tactics here to see the reaction of the interviewer’s -

I loved Frank's take on embracing the shocking, mysterious, fascinating parts of Catholicism. He is so right about that. Banal Christianity is a contradiction in terms.

I love Frank and I'm gutted his radio show is ending. However, I was brought up a Catholic and my 'Brave Stance' was at 9 years old when I told my class and teacher that I was an Atheist when I didn't even know the word. The teacher then tried to shame me by trying to turn the class against me, and also asking to imagine what it was going to be like in hell because I don't believe in God. She was unsuccessful and I am proud of myself looking back on it, a brave stance for a 9 year old. Oh yes... His Poetry Podcast is fantastic also.

On the question of leaving the Church, I find it very irritating to hear actors or comedians say, I was brought up a Catholic but ... I feel they mean But I'm too clever to believe all that now.

Or perhaps they've seen the light.

David Baddiel has been so harsh on Frank and his faith. Says it's all based on a fear of hell. Of course we are all worried about what comes after but for me it's about making the most of life while we are here. John 10:10 sums it perfectly "The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

It's strange hearing someone talking about Christian and yet saying that the modern day acceptance of homosexuality is a moral advance, the two things are mutually exclusive. Also claiming that different religions are praying to the same God is totally contradicted by Jesus Himself Who said He was the only way to Heaven.

Jesus was the Messiah and he was a messenger for his time, just like Moses was for his time and Abraham for his! Muslims, believe that Mohammed was a messenger for his time. To believe in the one God is fundamental to worship. We cannot pray to Jesus as a deity or worship any other idols such as saints which the Catholic religion would have you believe are worthy of reverence? What is the first commandment in the Bible Exodus? I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.

@@christianblake3997 Jesus and God are one (along with the Holy Spirit), the Bible says that Jesus was in the beginning and that all things were made through Him. Jesus Himself said that nobody can come to God except through Him (I agree that we cannot worship any idols or saints as the Catholic church believes, that is not scriptural), He is not simply a messenger, He is one with God and is completely Holy, that is why He died for us so that we could have His righteousness and be able to spend time with a Holy God. There is no other way to Heaven except through Jesus and His sacrifice for us.

I envy atheists in their keen sense of conviction, believers wrestle with doubt.

I love Frank from his radio show and, as an atheist, I've never found his material on Catholicism perturbing. My only issue with his (and the hosts) presentation of religion and catholicism here is that in the UK we're within a generation or two of religion maintaining its multi-millennia oppressive and damaging grip on society. Most of the world still lives under this form of oppression. In America, atheism continues to be career Hari- Kari for politicians. An interesting conversation, but some of the points feel like a stretch.

Always loved Frank I'm glad he has a faith but I don't recognise it as Christian, Liberal Catholic filter perhaps, (Personal opinion).

Woke/pro-LGBT-ideology is not Catholicism. It's heresy, & it's terribly destructive to human beings, especially children. I hope Frank can take the time to learn Catholic theology and morality on this subject. It's very important for his soul and for the Church. May God bless him, all the viewers here, and all of your loved ones.

I enjoyed this, but Frank had obviously forgotten that he was being filmed at the end, as he was too busy looking at his phone to properly acknowledge their thanks. And frankly looked rude, which was a shame.

He was probably recording the interview on his phone and as the interview was coming to an end he was ending the recording.

I remember watching Baddiel and Skinner and they were laughing like school boys as they called a Dutch footballer “Ugly” that really put me off both of them. They’re not exactly Clooney and Pitt themselves. So when l hear that he’s a Christian it somehow makes it worse and yet he hates someone saying “Jesus Christ” but believes we were all born perfect 😂 When l was about ten years old my parents had the TV on and l was in another room but l heard there had been an horrific motorway accident- it was icy on the roads and there was a thick fog came down and tragically 19 people lost their lives in the resulting pile up. A “man of the cloth” came on and said he knew a couple who had lost their lives. He said they were lovely people, regular church goers (neither of which l dispute) and then he said “I keep thinking why them?” 😮 Why Anyone? That put me off religion if that’s how their minds work.

You can't believe a God creates humans - and yet some can be 'born in the wrong body'. One side of this wants children to know they are made perfectly and the other tells them it's OK to use medical interventions to be their "true self".

So TIndall isn't even anglican, nevermind catholic or orthodox. The cringe, liberal theology she advocates for makes sense in light of that

Jokes in the Bible? I’ve often wondered whether Jesus was applying his sense of humour and irony when he called the apostle Simon “Peter” i.e. the “Rock.” Peter was impulsive and fickle and betrayed Jesus three times. What a useless rock! And yet… Peter was indeed the rock on which the Church was built. And, in the end, what a mighty saint Peter proved to be. But I think the idea of Simon as a rock started off as a joke!

Jesus knew Peter's future. The moment was way too important for Jesus to making a joke.

Read his book 20 years ago. Funny and intelligent guy. Shame hes deluded about the faith thing. Being illogical isnt unfashionable its illogical.. the only agument for religion is, 'it makes me feel better, so I believe... Anyway...he used to be funny before he went woke.

Frank's wrong about the equivalency of religions, and to see that all you need to do is look at the fruits of non-Christian religious labour, but he's spot on about so much else. As a fellow Catholic, I loved his prayer book.

52:14 If you don't understand that the Bible requires marriage between only one man and one woman, you don't understand the Bible. If you think God makes mistakes & puts people in the wrong body, you don't understand God.

Woke culture is true Christianity in action. The overlap between what Christ preached(unconditional LOVE) and Marxist Theory(specific to social justice) is remarkable.Catholicism errs on the side of conservatism. Christ's Good News is radical thought. It was not designed to give solace to the terminally smug and entitled. It is meant to cause profound discomfort and revolution. We are all judged by how we treat "these the least of my brothers and sisters". In that we are all culpable.
