Responding to Fr. James Martin on Homosexuality w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz

Fr. Mike offers a thorough and nuanced criticism of Fr. James Martin's position on homosexuality in the church, by responding to and refuting his statement one line at a time.

"Jesus never spoke about His views on what true marriage looks like"

Matthew 19:4-6 NKJV:

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female, ’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

the context is divorce, but the truth is still the same. Jesus takes God's side fully!

Father Mike has a gift for addressing controversial topics with charity and clear intellectual arguments, without actually tearing the person who may be in error down. We need more of this in our community. Great interview Matt

Please just speak the truth, it felt to me like you were hesitant to do so, Mother Angelica once said I don’t care if you like me I care about your soul.

Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17 Fulfill all that God has done and ordered.

James Martin is teaching things against Church teachings. One thing is to "build bridges", a different thing is to "build bridges" at any cost. His point of view about the Bible is biblical materialism.

Love father Mike. Thank you for your ministry. If there is ambiguity in the church I tell myself what does Father Mike say about it. He teaches what is true. God bless

[veradayy]

A brilliant response father. I thought you handled that exceptionally well and stay true to the teaching of the church. God bless you and your ministry and that you always speak the truth

[mrssmith]

Fr Mike is the best. Always kind and always intelligent and clear.

[ransomcoates]

Matt said it at the beginning: Fr. Mike fearlessly preaches Catholic truth, but he clearly does not feel he was called to do battle with individual people who distort the Faith. Some may feel he takes charity too far, but that's his spiritual persona.

Fr. Mike understands motivational speaking. Yelling at a smoker "you'll get cancer!!" will not help them quit. Doctors and psychiatrists know this, but people like Michael Voris, Matt Frad and many priest do not get this. Yelling what is sin at sinners will not help, we need nuance and kindness like Fr. Mike uses.

I enjoy listening to Fr. Mike. He is very likeable and pleasant to listen and learn from

"Lead us not into temptation." Homosexual men can easily be saved from overwhelming temptations. I know I was. The problem is that, nowadays, we just stand back and let Big Mama Babylon tell us what to think, say and do. Tune her voice out of your head. Change the channel to Jesus Christ and Him alone. He has the answer. What is it? Read the first canon of the Council of Nicaea of 325 AD. "He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

brother fradd, never pass up telling someone the truth if it costs you they're "friendship''. think of our Lord.

Well done Fr Mike 👍. It's always good to consider a quotation inside the whole piece in which it was written i.e in context. That way the person quoted is treated with a degree of fairness. I was taught: always return to the source.

[bethluther]

This showed up on my YouTube today. Love the succinct way Fr Mike puts it. Easy for me to remember when things come up in conversation!!!!
