Video response to DFOT videos by Irishfreethinker

This atheist video is a response to lthe dangerous nonsense spouted by the organization Direction For Our Time, through the so called "lay apostle Anne". My video is an attempt to answer the right wing evangelical theology that seems to be getting the backing of the Catholic Church in Co Cavan, Ireland, and which soputs simplistic but also dangerous backward anti freedom and anti woman theology.

oh please you dont understand spiritual cleansing? , you obviously never met this woman if you think shes even remotely capable of inciting violence against anybody.

[Irishfreethinker]

@smutley18888 The question of meeting this woman in order to get to know her is a falase argument. I argue against what she says and what she claims. From the context which "Spiritual Cleansing" is used it is clear she is not talking about getting down on your knees and praying. The context clearly implies cleansing in the sense that only the righteous shall be saved and all the rest are as good as dead. She may be a nice woman indeed, but her mesages are right wing catholic superstition.

The Clergy you mention are apostate. The proof is that they contradict Catholic Dogma (presume you know what this means). Thus, they cannot vouch for Anne, who is a failed councillor and is divorced. I think we both can agree that she recieves messages not from God - though it be for different reasons.

She contradicts the teaching of the Church in her "messages" and is collecting money from the gullible for the privilage.

The Clergy I mention are the official catholic Churdh. Just so as we remember where I am coming from, I am an atheist. Why do you say they are apostate. Is it because they are not your kind of catholic? Do you think the Pope is apostate? Who then in your opinion is not Apostate then?

This woman is NOT EVEN CATHOLIC!!!!

She is FAR FROM RIGHT WING or conservative. If you think she is, then you havent seen the teachings of the Catholic Church.

You are obviously an athiest, but know one thing: This woman is a CON ARTIST. No REAL CATHOLIC believes her.

Whether you reject the Catholic Church or not, do not Call her Catholic, or a representative of its teachings.

@iotaunam1: On what basis do you say this? Is this your opinion or maybe you have some proof.

Here are the facts: She pledges her allegience to the Catholic Church, to Bishop O Reilly of the Kilmore diocese in Ireland. She holds prayer sessions in the Catholic Church in Bailieborough in Cavan, and the Catholic Church has given her a Priest to work exclusively with her as a spiritual guide. What is your evidence to the contrary. Just because it's your opinion does not make it true.

@Irishfreethinker More Facts. Look up "Direction for our Times Limited" at your local library company database.

Nice little earner from a few books and videos.

There are not different "kinds" of Catholic! - You are either a Catholic or you are not. To calim one is Catholic, or hold 99% of its teachings does not make one Catholic. To be Catholic you must Hold ALL Catholic Dogma - which is Changeless. If you reject Dogma you are a heretic, at least implicitly. The fact is that much of the hierarchy is apostate - look at the Dogma and look at their contradiction. This may not be significant to you, but to be a Catholic it is essential.
