Priest in UK Spreads Vulgar Sermon [Article recommended for ages 17+]

I remember reading about the crucifixion and what was happening to the body at this time. This detail was included. Not sure it was appropriate to discuss in a homily. Maybe in a study group or something but not something for those in the pews not expecting that sort of thing.

Yeah, a lot of young children could hear this, plus, even if Jesus got a big banana during the crucifixion, that is way lewd to preach in a homily. Also, for reference, as Jesus was free of sin, He never jerked off, so therefore, this was the only time that blood rushed there.

I wouldn’t go that far. Many men wake up erect. He faced the same temptations we all do but overcame them all.

Correct.

It also happens at death.

So true. Made a study on Leviticus 15, for us guys.

It is somewhat personal, and recommended for people who are older than 17.

Leviticus 15:16-18 and Ephesians 5:3-6

Man, this study will be a heavy one, but will hopefully help us overcome our addictions. My addiction is thankfully, by the grace of God, not anything contentographic. But, my addiction is jerking off, though I am working to not do that as much. Date May 3, 2024 Verse Leviticus 15:16-18...

This one does not even need an AI summary. A priest by the name of Fr. Thomas McHale (American residing in UK) preached on Good Friday, that Jesus had His plantain enlargen during the crucifixion (keeping it clean here). Gross. Sadly, this creepy priest was not removed from the church. We should pray that this man repents for his disgusting perversion of the Easter journey.

I recommend that this entire thread be erased. Satan is doubling his work - first a blasphemous homily, then this insulting "discussion" on the matter.

Can you elaborate? We do not need kids to be exposed to priests who preach this stuff.

Imo, there is nothing wrong in discussing the facts of what Jesus went through. In a homily? Not so much. It should be discussed in a Bible Study or whatever. As you said, there are kids in the pews.

He did not "overcome" any of what we understand as temptations - The Greek word for it, interestingly, is translatable as "temptation" and/or "trial" or "test". Jesus was tried by the devil, with what would have been for us a trial and a temptation because in us is concupiscence (an inclination to sin - against which we must struggle, and overcome, to grow toward holiness); our human nature is deeply wounded, indeed broken. In Jesus is and was no concupiscence - in His human nature was no inclination to sin, but only submission to the Father who sent Him. He had and has no inclination to any sin, ever; His will is always one in the one divine will of the Trinity. Thus the devil did test and try Him, but in Jesus there was never nor could there ever be any place for, or any desire for, anything contrary to the holy will of God.

In us typical human men and women, some or even many sins are actually attractive for us; a temptation is rooted in the desire for those sins - thus we can be tempted to embrace them. We must work - and with grace succeed - to overcome temptations to sin: they are attractive to us; in us there is desire for them.

Listen to James:

Jas 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one;
Jas 1:14 but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

Some err by over-emphasizing the human over the divine natures that Jesus possesses. This thread seems to be doing that, and thereby is overlooking the Truth that Jesus was/is fully man AND fully God. It is a mystery beyond our understanding - the hypostatic union - yet a mystery we can embrace in supernatural faith.

One more comment: the more common mistake of weighing the humanity (which, by the way, is "like ours" without the sins and defects and weaknesses we struggle with) of Jesus more highly than His divinity, leads to errors of many kinds among Christians today. If we would not insult Jesus, we ought to reverence Him - adore Him - always. HE IS GOD. The very subject matter of this thread I find offensive and unworthy.

Well, one more comment. What we may observe to be common among men, the way they live, the way they die, may have no relevance at all, to Jesus. He is NOT "like us" in every way. What we find in the Scripture is Truth; there is our proper source for discussions about Jesus.

Hey guys,

There is supposed to be a divine revelation experienced by Mary of Agreda, where Blessed Mother took her veil and asked a roman guard to wrap it around his loins to cover it and provide some decency and give her son some dignity in dying.

Jesus was truly covered on the cross. I do believe Blessed Mother stepped up and asked the guard. That is so like our Mother!

It can be found in her work called "City of God" a voluminous work, and here is shared in a PDF form City of God

Yes, that is so like our Blessed Mother!

This is the beautiful and relevant Novena Prayer to Our Lady, in the "darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church":

O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.

Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.

Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.

I do not get why @fide wanted this thread to be shut down. Just calling out the priest for saying stuff that belongs in a small group study.

I hope you will take this response in the right way, Alex. Supernatural faith is exactly that: supernatural. It is not acquired by reasonings, by human advice or discussions, by logic, by human relationships or feelings or decisions or wishes or any act of man in his fallen human nature. Rather it is a gift, lest anyone should boast. We can begin to rightly dispose ourselves for this gift, should the Lord perceive in us a hunger and thirst for righteousness, by listening until we hear, and hearing until we live, the Word of God.

I urge you to listen to Him. To Him, until you begin to hear what only God can say to you.
