Does anyone else have a routine of watching the daily EWTN homily on TV? I'd like to get a discussion thread going. EWTN Youtube has the daily Mass homily, but they are usually a couple of days behind schedule. http://www.youtube.com/user/EWTNEdited by bwellmysoul on 05/22/2012 11:04:03

I don't catch it very often now, but when I used to make it a practice I enjoyed the homilies very much. They are a great bunch of orthodox priests!

Hi Diana,
Yes, they are.
If you can, please watch tonight.
I was listening this morning and Fr. Mitch said he was invited to preach at a location (which he didn't name).
He said that he was told to not use the term "God the Father" in his homily.
He in return told this person that he (Fr. Mitch) didn't write Sacred Scripture and therefore couldn't change the words written there.
Fr. Mitch said that it was less than 6 months (from the day they refused to allow him to preach) that this church was closed down.
Was wondering where this occured. I've never heard him speak of this before.

I have seen Fr mitch many times on Christian v catholic debates,
And he has always been proved to be wrong, [Why doesn't that suprise me?]..
And so has the catholic church.
No wonder that Church didn't want Fr Mitch to preach, I wouldn't want a man who is so wrong to preach in my Church.
But you catholics must love him.

That makes sense then, perhaps Fr. Mitch was asked to speak at a Oneness Pentecostal parish. They deny the Trinity.

I haven't always agreed with Fr. Mitch's presentation of certain ideas. He is, however, very learned and educated, and understands the spirit of the Gospel. His kindness and sweet spirit more than make up for any criticism I may have had of his choice of words on any given subject.
I believe there is plenty of room for us to agree to disagree from time to time without demonizing each other.

In other words, you agree with a Church that never allows preachers to talk about God the Father. You are of the opinion that preachers who talk about God the Father are so wrong and can not stand them?

Yes, we love preachers who talk about God the Father thereby agreeing with Scriptures.

Fr. Mitch's homily today (election day in the U.S.) for the Mass' three Scripture readings on the Lord's Supper is very educational and edifying.
It reairs on EWTN Dish Channel 261 throughout the day and should be available on http://www.youtube.com/user/EWTN by tomorrow.
Luke 14: 15 - 24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!"
16 But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many;
17 and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, `Come; for all is now ready.'
18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.'
19 And another said, `I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.'
20 And another said, `I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'
21 So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, `Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.'
22 And the servant said, `Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'
23 And the master said to the servant, `Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'"
Philippians 2: 5 - 11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Psalms 22: 26 - 32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.
28 For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
29 Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation,
31 and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it.

It figures that the guy who does not want us praying the Our Father, would give a thumbs up to a Catholic Church who refused to let Father Mitch call God "God The Father", and objected when Father Mitch refused to change Sacred Scripture to fit their preferences.
And I am glad that this church ended up shutting down. I don't think that God The Father was very pleased with them.
As for Oneness Pentecostals, they believe that there is no Trinity, that God as a singular entity came down to earth and inhabited a fleshly avatar, the human Jesus, like a suit or costume the same way that God appeared as a burning bush or the Pillar of Smoke and Pillar of Fire.
They do not believe that God has a Son, but that the Son and the Father are the exact same person.

"There are some in the Church, who not only do not do what is good, but even persecute it, and hate in others what they neglect to do themselves. The sin of these men is not that of infirmity or ignorance, but deliberate willful sin." — Pope St. Gregory the Great (AD 540-604)

Ouch.
I've heard an oddly similar theology from Islam about the Divinity of Christ (fleshly avatar, ...like a suit or costume).
