I Usually Don't Like Michael Voris...

This is such a huge misunderstanding of charity I can't even.  

 

Voris makes me so angry.

I don't think he was trying to misrepresent charity.  I think he was showing that too many people have the wrong understanding of charity to the point where they silence their own beliefs and pretend that the Church is just another place for people to socialize and be nice to one another.  There has been far too much martyrdom of Catholic saints and Christ Himself for that to be true.

 

I thought it was funny to be honest.  I also loooove that clip from Clue   rotfl

Yeah, I agree, I don't think he was trying to misrepresent charity.  I think he was trying to make fun of people who pay attention to the parts of Dogmatic Constitutions and other Vatican documents he doesn't like.  His body of work is so full of vitriol that it's really hard for me to see how he would personally take any respectful stance when it comes to people who disagree with him.  I think what his work does is misrepresent charity.  

 

Though I can see how some people could see the video as funny, and I don't think you guys are bad for having that opinion. :)

I am in the choir that Voris preaches to but his presentation makes me want to barf.

 

Fulton Sheen on the other hand is superb in his presentation.

Here we go again... but Voris probably really likes the free publicity.

Nah, see, I'm being nice. Acknowledging that people can have a different perspective without being intrinsically evil. :)  Exercising charity and all that.   :hehe2:

You trying to say something, bro?  :fight: 

 

:hehe2: 

Me? No. I did not watch the OP because one of several topics I hate on PM is Voris debates. But I watched Fulton Sheen's videos some time ago and very much appreciated them.

I watched the Voris video and nearly spontaneously combusted.  The things I do so I can be fair to those who disagree with me...  :hehe2:

 

My dad has an app on his phone with all kinds of Fulton Sheen stuff. He was super excited to show it to me. :)  Fulton Sheen is generally pretty fantastic.

I saw that app. I did not download it because you have to stream everything off your data plan, and my data plan, while adequate, is not enormous, so I did not want to risk going over the cap. :P
