Ironic
I'm a traditionalist Catholic who goes to Latin mass almost every day...
Granted his sermons are alright and plenty of what he says is true on matters such as the Jews and the state of the world, but I would take everything he says with a grain of salt, because of said heresy
Watch this video on him.
(also the job of a priest isnt just to preach. Only if you knew how great a single mass is)
That's obviously true and also not an excuse for terrible, ultra-short sermons. Priests are supposed to catechize their flock as well as provide the sacraments. I completely understand why baptists would call Catholics superstitious when most of them have never read the Bible but are really knowledgeable about all kinds of traditional prayers and signs and blessed objects.
I go to Latin Mass and the homilies are generally good. Anderson might frequently do long sermons and certainly he's very passionate but what good is it if he believes a bunch of heretical nonsense?
Considering Traditional Catholics I feel like that's a stereotype. The church has a lot of Biblical Symbolism although straight up reading the Bible isn't as common as with Baptists. That's because we have to manage our time with reading History and the lives of the saints, etc. and a bit of it's a hold over from the times when only Nobled and Clerics could read. Protesantism is a novel idea and developed when alot of people were able to read
Read some of Chrysostom's homilies. He teaches his congregations for extensive periods. This is early Byzantium. The supposed dark ages.. and you have a preacher actually preaching at length. And not only that, but he railed against his own congregation once for not reading the scriptures. And not just wanted them to come to the church and read the scriptures, but constantly be engaged and discuss these things among themselves.
“Let us not simply imprint this on our minds, but also discuss it constantly with one another in our get-togethers; let us constantly revive the memory of this story both with our wives and with the children. In fact, if you want to talk about a king, see, there is a king here; if about soldiers, about a household, about political affairs, you will find a great abundance of these things in the Scriptures. These narratives bring the greatest benefit: it is impossible – impossible, I say—for a soul nourished on these stories ever to manage to fall victim to passion.”
Because Catholics don't believe in God.
After hearing it, I was so destroyed I don’t think I’ll go back to confession ever again. I’m a deviant and I came to believe God made me like this and there’s to hope for my soul.
Am I wrong? Is this sinning against the Holy Spirit? Because both are a sentence to Hell anyway.
