This priest have a certain descriptive type of personality in his speech that reminds me of the way PBD speak in his podcasts. He’s very influential. Kudos to Matt and father Louis.

I love that Matt mentions custody of the eyes. It’s an unknown virtue that should be talked about more and taught to young men. I know a man is spiritually strong when they maintain custody of the eyes. Women notice.

My gosh! That line at 1:10:30 is just awesome. "My jurisdiction will become your cemetery..." 🤯 That's the kind of law enforcement that gang ridden communities need!

The first episode with Fr Louis was fantastic and this was a tremendous sequel. Fr Louis the closing statement you described so well how I feel about being Catholic, thankful can't begin to describe how I feel to be Catholic.

What a very beautiful explanation of celibacy @ 2:18:27! Yes the calling to sanctity comes first for all Christians. It is precisely the lack of understanding of the universal calling to sanctity that makes people misunderstand the calling to marriage and celibacy. Thank you Matt Fradd

Thank you 2:37:02 for saying this Matt. You are articulating exactly what The Lord calls me to guard my lips and guard my eyes from judgement of others exactly this!

Subjugate obviously means to conquer and to then rule. It definitely doesn't mean to enslave, though that could happen concurrently. Subjugation, in this instance would be to wrest the moors from Turkish rule. It doesn't even necessarily mean to force them to convert.

This was an amazing interview with the good Fr. He really held my attention as there is so much in what he says that in a sense is a warning to where we are heading. Incidentally Matt, i gather from the beginning of this interview that your wife has some sort of chronic arthritis. Has she tried homeopathic treatment (ps, it is not voodoo or even woo woo). My arthritis has improved way beyond my expectations after 2 months under homeopathic treatment. Its definitely worth a try.

I remember reading a book about voodoo when I was a kid ( I wasn’t even aware of what I was reading until later) a kid won a potato chip contest and used the money to buy voodoo things to make a doll to beat up his school bully. Looks back I’m shocked my mom didn’t screen that at the library she was all on top of that no Harry Potter even. I hope we get more books like Narnia soon

Never heard Fathers rebuttal to the "bad white European Christian roots" argument till now: early church fathers are of African descent, and they had tremendous influence on the culture of the church

Very good interview Fr. Louis is awesome! I would like to offer a bit of historical context for the Pope Nicholas part to hopefully help with the confusion. In the period of Christendom subjugation had a different connotation than it had now. Since the concept of nationalism didn't come about until the 19th century there was no concept of citizenship. So for example you wouldn't consider yourself a citizen of Spain you would instead be a subject of His Majesty King Ferdinand III. If you were a subject of a king it just meant that you were under his protection and in return you would serve your king. So when people like Pope Nicholas or Christopher Columbus refer to subjugation they are wanting to bring them into a Christian "nation". They saw these Africans, Saracens, Native Americans, etc. as equals to the people in Europe. They saw them as a people created in God's own image that were worthy of being subjects (or citizens to use a modern comparison) of a Christian king.

About European catholicism compared to American catholicism: as a European I know that there are a lot of movements where people find home and guidance. But the strength of Americans or just English speaking cultures is somehow the story telling, and wording. At least in my observation. I not only like to listen to English catholic content but I also prefer to read English literature and watch English movies. So I gues it has something to do with language, culture and heritage. and the Internet and tech serve to propel these contents to a worldwide level
