  • Father Groeschel is a great warrior for Christ.

  • one says we're too isolated, another (corapi) preached about the evils of socialism, so which is it? Can't have it both ways....people are not choosing to be isolated..it is happening all around us and to us....capitalism is pure evil and drives most of what goes on..where i live bookshops and coffeeshops closed, downtown shopping replaced with box stores, no more community groups, anonymous donations to people we never see, this is all by design, no im not crazy....

  • Isolated? Yes! But what are they finding in their souls? Furthermore, how practical are they being in preserving their historically inherited Culture? I think inward and outward problems come from discrete practical issues which cannot be addressed in a single Info-Bite! And may not be politically correct or sufficiently dogmatic.

  • On the road to cana, there's gonna be terrain---an maybe some cow or ox shit, so watch it

  • Great great man. He is a saint. I was sent to Children Village when I was a kid by the courts. After I met Father my life changed, and light enter my soul. He even encouraged me to be an alter boy. I love you father. Thank you for serving mankind as you have, and for so long.

  • God bless you Father Benedict Groeschel.

  • I have always found it rather perplexing how Franciscans, who take a vow of poverty, generally speaking live a more comfortable life than most of us. St. Francis was basically a wandering beggar- that was really poverty and a truer imitation of Christ. The friars are released from the worries and anxieties of the modern condition: finding and maintaining a job, paying bills, a mortgage, all the hassle of the 'rat race'. I was a novice for a while but it was too cushy for my conscience.

  • I can't help but see that youtube comment-wars are an testament to what the Father is talking about. We have lives of such ease and isolation that many of us seek to create a pretend battle where no real one exists.

  • I was in a boys home called the Children's Village and I was his alter boy.

    He was and remains a pillar of my life.

    The children's Village was a great place.
