Thank you Mrs Bennett for your clairity ❤

It makes sense that Mel Gibson is attacked to the extent that he is when you consider the droves of people that went back to Mass and confession after viewing The Passion- not to mention the immense spiritual benefit of meditating on and consoling Our Lord in His Passion. Mel brought it to life in a way that must still enrage Satan. Let’s pray for him, Rogan and Peterson.

As a fellow 'troubled soul', battling various addictions through more than forty years of adultood, I relate strongly to Mel Gibson, and the idea of seeing my internal struggles as 'spiritual warfare' is useful. Thank you.

[fcldtsu]

I'm all for it.
Catholic unscripted!

[seanleech]

Thank you . That was a great and amusing discussion.

[MezzMcGillicuddy]

Troubled soul here ✋

There seems to be a lot of us about.

😂 very funny you 3🤩🤩🤩

Katherine are you, I wonder, talking about St Bedes Church in Clapham Park? That is where I had my initial very powerful and moving spiritual experience at The Latin Mass (TLM) just over 2 years ago that got me roaring back to my faith. It's a very beautiful church and parish with, I think, some very holy saintly people there.
On Mel Gibson, he sounds a bit like St Peter if you listen to Poem of the Man God by Maria Valtorta. He's an amazing character (St Peter) and like you say who knows the mind of God he has used MG with the brilliant film The Passion of Christ let's hope he has more of that kind in store for The Ressurection.

Actually, Gibson has only been married once, with Robyn Moore, with whom he had seven children. It seems he has been unable(unwilling?) to resist temptations, that have closed upon him much stronger after his Passion of the Christ film was released. He now has two more children with two different live-in lovers. If he is still living with the most recent of the two, it may qualify as a "common-law marriage" by now, since it began in 2014.

I love the gentle strength of your proclamation of the gospel and the way you deal with issues and people. We are all on the road whether we realized it or not. God is the waiting Father.

America is making a comeback to Christ this year

Excellent. I will be watching more. Catholic Unscripted has gained a fan.

Spiritual Warfare is real, and we are all sinners, no doubt about it !

[philipschaffer]

My heaviest conversations are about the meaning of Isaiah 53.

[Nell]

love it when i can listen into you guys speaking together

[infinityfilms]

Blessed Virgin Mary, we love you, pray for us Holy Mother!

I’ve been saying Peterson will not become Catholic as long as he still practices kundalini yoga, as I heard him say he does. Exorcists warn about yoga in general, but especially this type.

[paulhickmott]

We live in dark times thank God for Jesus Christ

[LesRitaMitsouko]

Very good summation of where JP is at, Gavin. Everyone is on a journey 😊

[johnfernandes]

My cousin was cured of blindness in an instant in a Catholic Ghurch and today drives his own taxi. If someone asks me "Is Christ God?" I'll say "YES, YES, YES"

Mark's commercial break at 21minutes was very awkwardly placed and shocked me into checking whether youtube had taken the initiative to move me on to the start of a different video (the intro music used there had something to do with it).
