Let’s Talk Politics

Please pray for my Parish St. Augustine, I plan on sharing a short advocate on the upcoming election to a group of Young Adults. Pray for the openness of heart and mind. Please offer up any intentions for this Friday 🙏🏽 Thank you and God bless

Here is a hypothetical question ..... Let's say that the only party in the election that was anti abortion was the Communist Party, we (and I'm a 75 year old Catholic} would have to vote for the Communist Party. Correct?

I wonder why all of us aren’t hearing this from our pulpits. Thank you Father.!

respecrfully;
the same myopic only two choices rhetoric. I live in PA and vote early for Peter Sonski who is a valid write in candidate and proposes killing 0 babies.

Yes, about time this is published ! Amen

Amazing. Beautiful sermon. Totally agree with most that is said. Ends with choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Really evil. Just want to add that as a fervent Catholic I cannot vote for the greater evil who is Trump. He has no respect for human life. His view of abortion has changed for the worse. He calls for the American military to shoot at peaceful protesters. Death penalty will significantly increase with him. Lastly on life he plans to revenge those who opposes him even eliminate them. So much more to say but just one to highlight is that he wants to be a dictator. We will loose numerous freedoms. Christians beware. He wants to be God and turn us into an idolatrous nation

Finally a Catholic priest who's not afraid to be Catholic

BOLD! We need more courageous people like this.

Excellent homily. Father, thank you for being courageous, and thank you for teaching the truth.

Father, are you aware that Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmiero reportedly said he believed “an evolution in mutual understanding” had taken place between masonry and the Church over the past 50 years.?

“Things have moved on, and I hope these meetings don’t stop there,” said the retired Italian prelate, according to Il Messaggero, quoting sources present at the meeting that was closed to the press.

Why insist on dialoguing with the enemies of Christ when the Church has definitely stated that it is a sin for a Catholic to belong to this society?

Cafeteria Catholics will not accept the truths that you point out because the U.S. bishops in particular have led them to believe their uninformed conscience, whatever it tells them whether right or wrong, is the rule to follow. In addition, they see that political cafeteria Catholics like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi support these evils and they are never publicly corrected. That's why so many support contraception, abortion, same sex relationships, transgenderism, wokeism and every other evil they either never hear a priest or bishop talk about, or belong to the Democrat party of death.

Thank you, Father. You are right. How can our conscience be informed without good Catholic teaching?

God bless President Trump. Don't be afraid of saying you support Trump. I know his language can be very rude, crude, and arrogant but if you watch him carefully you will realize that he does that to fight against some very bad people who promote some very bad things like abortion, transgenderism, human sex trafficking, corruptions and more. Better harsh words than an all out war. God works through imperfect men. God bless America. God bless our Church. May God help us grow in our faith.

Even if true, a majority does not make something moral.

None of the two candidates will save the innocent! We vote as Catholics by keeping God's teachings, and no compromise. The Republican party platform is just as evil as the Democrat's , so is a No to either party

Sorry Father but you have drank the Koolaid of Trump...We Catholic's do not approve abortions but do believe in women's rights..Now to educate people is what we are called to do and hope abortions will go away...Donald Trump only uses the abortion issue for political gains ..Educate the people on the sanctity of all life...

I hope the pope heard this.

May God infuse such boldness and courage into more and more bishops throughout our nation. We need to have the hearts and minds of bishops changed because that is where the problem is. Bishops MUST tell their priests that it is not only okay to make such homilies but it is encouraged. Then maybe those bishops will allow the many cancelled priests to again practice the ordained vows in a Catholic parish setting. If you are not hearing holies like this in your parish it is ONLY because of your bishop.

Thank God for this holy man speaking the truth! More should be like him.

I agree with father but also this election we are fighting for the right of freedom of religion and the communist agenda that the Democratic Party is “imposing on us” by inmoral propaganda and indoctrination.

God bless you Father. This sermon should be given at every Mass throughout the USA

Beautifully and clearly proclaimed Father! May God bless and keep you.

Trump🇺🇸2024 is the Closes we get to right to life

Thank you for preaching the truth boldly Father. May God bless your priesthood.

Truth. God's Word. Amen
❤🙏🇺🇲

Thank you Fr for this message. I didn't know that the statement about the separation of the Church from the State, did not mean Separating our politics from our faith, rather to prevent Government from interfering in the lives of the people. I will hold this teaching to heart, and teach that to others too.


Quick question though, where can one find the document on the separation of the Church from the State?

Its really so sad that a priest with years of training doesnt even have the most basic understanding of the concept of "CHURCH AND STATE" As a Catholic is am both saddened and appalled.

its amazing to me how theologically unsound most of his arguments are. his sermon is rife with logical inconsistencies and sad for a man who is supposedly trained in a seminary. This is a sad imitation of a sermon. so sad for him.

Thank you for making our vote choice clearer.

The first time I laid eyes upon this man, when he was just a novice, I knew he was going to be a great gift to The Fathers of Mercy!

A priest who is unafraid to speak the truth. Fabulous homily and this should be the message from every pulpit.

The General Principles on which the Fathers (Pilgrims) achieved independence were the General Principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those General Principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence
and attributes of God.

We are in the End Times, the wheat and tares. We are seperated. Democrats condone the killing of babies , before covid most abortions ever in history of world. Gross. Babies bodies are being sold and purchased. Evil is protected. The wait to get into hell has got to be long. Heaven has alot of babies .

Neither party is against abortions. Trump is not pro life. The only way Catholics are going to stop abortions is to active in rewroting the laws on abortion.

Something to take away too: God is always working, and always working good things out of bad.

Yes, Trump is the lesser of two evils...and who's to say that with his clearer stance against abortion, more good can come to him, and thus to the American people?

It is also true that God could influence Harris, however: the onset position is not promising, because her outright open position on abortion is 110% yes: it's okay to do.
Neither are Catholic, but one wants to save lives.

And ultimately, if Trump back pedals, he will have to answer his deceitful lies not just to us, but to God Himself.
Pax Christi. Ave Maris Stella.
And God love you!

I beseech every Catholic voting for Trump to please commit to raising your voice regarding his slide into immorality with the recent Republican platform changes. We must insist on marriage between one man and one woman (he has removed this language), no government mandated IVF funding (Trump has called for this, IVF is a very evil and unregulated technology that separates procreation from the marital act and results in many aborted or frozen embryos, perhaps more than abortion), and the right to life of every human from conception to natural death (he has changed the platform so that now he only opposes late-term abortion). Be aware of these changes and do what you can to fight against them.

Catholics oppress women and are trying to control the government of the United States. They already control the Supreme Court. I also think there are many Catholic males in Congress who vote to take away the freedom of the women taxpayers of America. The Catholic religion is tax exempt and are using those tax free dollars to buy our government. Where is the IRS, who we taxpayers pay to protect our tax money. Are you bought and paid for or, threatened by Congress and , can’t do your job.

What Diocese is everyone?

I live in the Diocese of Lincoln Nebraska

What the F does this guy know of the world????? What an arrogant man.....I am a proud, proud proud Democrat who is a practicing Catholic.....

I understand that there is still hope when I hear a homilia like this from a young priest. God bless you, Father!🙏💚💛🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💛💚🙏

Thank you for giving a balanced analysis of both parties/candidates! I think that Trump's supportive position on IVF muddies the waters, but Harris is probably no different, and Trump would be less likely to pass IVF bills with a Republican Congress, than Harris would with a Democratic Congress. Trump's position on transgender issues is also clearly better than Harris's, though I doubt their positions on same-sex marriage are much different. I am glad the church never endorses one candidate over another, but I still think the choice is clear.

Courageous and powerful message. May God bless and keep you Father. Let's share your message across our nation.❤❤

Courageous and beautiful message Father👏🙏

God bless you Father. I am not a Catholic but we need more truth from all of our pulpit, right on.
