  • Shia Laboeuf has converted to Catholicism after playing Padre Pio in a movie. His interview with Bishop Barron is excellent, and he shows how Barron has blind spots, at least it seems that way, about Traditional Catholicism

      In the back of your mind, hold on to the fact that Bishop Barron is a scholar and was chosen to run a seminary. The seminary of Chicago, no less. Benefits of doubts are appropriate for when there's a genuine doubt after really mature deliberation. There's really no reason to have that kind of a doubt where Robert Barron is concerned. His cards have been on the table for some time. Could something have changed in him as a result if this interview? Maybe, but we should wait to see more before entertaining that possibility. We ought to be testing the spirits here in his regard.

    I attended Old St. Patrick’s Catholic school in the 40s with the traditional mass. I am in a NO parish for the last 33 years and still can’t get used to it. I try to get into NYC monthly for the high TLM and feel like I’m home. There is no comparison between the two. Young couples with babies, everyone dressed, the real candles, the smells, the bells, the singing of the mass and the reverence is unbelievable. Confessions before every mass acknowledging the reality of the Holy Eucharist. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!

      I used to travel into Manhattan on business and attend Holy Innocents - I believe on 38th ?
      At a particular Solemn High Mass one evening, I was sitting in the upper right hand corner. I positioned myself for a few moments so I could see the congregation and the actions of the priest all at once. It was just as you described. It could have been the year 1200, 1500, 1950, - pick your century - I felt like I was given a panoramic view of salvation history.

I spoke with some of the parishioners and asked if Dolan would put an end to it but none of them seemed too concerned. I live in Staten Island but try to get there at least once a month. I worked around the corner on 38 street and attended mass every morning. At one time they said 11 masses a day, Chaplet of Mercy at 5PM and seminars at noon in the basement. That church is about the only thing I miss about NYC.

As for Bishop Barron, I love his rosary videos, especially on Joyful Mysteries. However, I was appalled when I saw only one of his shows (first time watching so far). He was repeatedly pressed by young man interviewer about sexual sin. BB kept avoiding and undermining, saying the Deadly Sin of Lust being the LEAST significant bc it is a sin of the body, as such not so significant spiritually, as in Pride. And he proceeded with lots of extremely nebulous word salad talk about the essence of God, etc. BB IS a smart guy, and while I leave judgment to Jesus, I could find no justification for what he clearly knew he was doing - deceiving (trying to deceive) in a very crafty way. So, I don't KNOW that he is a good guy. I defer to Jesus on that one.

      I had seen Shia in interviews think it was earlier this year or last year when he was getting hard time from media and was hoping and believe may have said a prayer that he would have conversion to Christ. Could see his conversion leading to others interest in Catholic Faith. His promotion of TLM looks awesome. Only seen few clips and it does look like genuine conversion. Conversion is from the Heart. He seems sincere. But can say from experience our lamp needs topped up every day as scripture says to keep the burning zeal or Faith in God Alive and burning brightly. 🔥 Pray for him and Bishop.

    I felt that Bishop Barron's 'How come' was simply asking Shia to elaborate on his experience, not because he was surprised that he preferred the Latin Mass; he was simply delving deeper into what had resonated with Shia. That Shia was so deeply moved by the Latin Mass is beautiful, but the experience of one person is not necessarily the same for another. I attend both rites and know many people who prefer one or the other or, like me, are happy to attend both. I think Bishop Barron's opinion of 'everyone being able to find expression' is one of experience and wisdom.

God has worked slowly with me because he knows my bent and my heart. Though I trusted in the teachings of the Church, the reality of the Eucharist slowly and deeply is being rooted in my heart. God is in it all and uses it all; we just need to remain open and obedient. What he hates is division. No offense but some of the radical traditionalist seem angry and proud to me with the way they present the Latin Mass.

    I remember My Dad, who attended regularly, all of a sudden attend not very often.
    He often talked about missing the Latin mass. He said we no longer can step into Heaven, here on earth.
    I could not fully understand.
    Years later as an adult, I attended a Latin mass.
    At some point during high mass, I felt something, as if the outside world was shut out. That of feeling in a hallowed place.
    On the way home, It came to me what my father was missing.
    I can count the few times in my life I actually cried, but I could not stop the tears. I now understood what they took from my Dad, or from us.
    Most people do Not even know.
    As reverent as I try to be as I attend our Novus ordo mass, I am often distracted by the speed in which they keep changing the words and watering down even the New mass.
    I can see the pause and the negative feeling coming off the Priest as I genuflect and receive on the tongue.

    I was "born" into the Traditional Latin Mass and attended it until I was 26 yrs old when the NO came on the scene...the NO Mass is like going to a theatrical event...the TLM is transcendent, reverent, and sacred...you are there to receive from Jesus Christ and unite yourself to Him in all that occurs in His Holy Sacrifice to the Father for our salvation..anything less than the TLM is not giving God His due worship.

What has been a turn off is listening to some radical traditionalist who are angry and spend much of their time talking about all that is wrong with the Church rather than sharing the gospel. I understand there is a beauty in the Latin mass but this division cannot be healed when there is constant, negative rhetoric. It seems to me that if we take small steps toward tradition, it’s a start. Is so far right or so far left ever good? No because no one really listens to one another. That’s not the unity Jesus prayed for. Thank God the Holy Spirit didn’t allow me to turn away as a result of some of the negativity I heard in the beginning of my journey.

    Barron then did not want to acknowledge the TLM is a trip to Calvary, the foot of the cross. Envisioning Our Lord's sacrifice for us, it brings us to our knees in true repentance and to the sacred journey done for centuries for us, for humanity. Its not Barron's "something for everybody", it is The Mass ... Missa... The New Covenant that completes all biblical covenants.

      100% agree.
      Regarding the Novus Ordo, something which I have realised.
      All the other rites are ancient and all have certain characteristics that remain the exact same regardless east or west etc. The Novus Ordo mass was something very different, brand new and created by a free mason Bugnini and 6 Protestants. They had the sole intention of creating a mass that’s less Catholic, more palatable for the modern world and for Jews and Protestants in particular. The emphasis of the sacrifice was replaced with a “communal meal”. The sacrificial altar was replaced with a table. The priest no longer faced God on the altar as ALL other rites do but rather he faces the people. Man took centre stage not God. Multiple customs were done away with. The altar was replaced with a table. What’s interesting is that this happened before, in the book of Maccabees. Let me explain.
      The term ‘abomination of desolation’ which means an ‘abomination that leads to emptiness’ is used only 3 times in the bible. Once in the book of Daniel speaking of the end times, once by Christ in the book of Matthew again speaking about what to look out for to know those times are at hand and finally once in the book of Maccabees. Maccabees is the only time in scripture that explains exactly what the abomination of desolation actually is.
      The Jewish leaders changed the daily sacrifice. They did away with the customs and replaced the altar with a table etc and they did this with the intent of becoming more palatable to the world and the other pagan religions in Jerusalem. In scripture this was called the ‘abomination of desolation’. Only a small remnant of Jews realised it for what it was and they went underground and continued the traditional daily Jewish sacrificial customs hidden away from the leaders. This false church lasted 100 years or so before God destroyed them and restored the traditional Jewish religion and altars etc
      What’s also fascinating is that in scripture when the apostles asked Jesus to let them know what will happen just before he returns in his second coming at the end of the age he responded “when you see the abomination that leads to desolation’ as spoken of in the book of Daniel know them times are at hand.
      We’ll this is exactly what the Novus Ordo is. It is the abomination that has led to emptiness. It is the birth of the end times counterfeit church.

    Bishop Barron is indeed smart, and he knows that this is not the right time for bishops to be publicly criticizing the NO.
    Pope Francis has been very clear on where he wants the church to go right now, and it isn’t the TLM.
    He let Shia say a lot in the interview, more than I think many bishops would have allowed in a public interview. I’m glad you were charitable towards Bishop Barron, because he doesn’t seem to be an enemy of the TLM. He’s simply a very adaptive and authentic person. If the pope was bringing the TLM back to prominence, I bet Bishop Barron would be on board.
    I think on a sliding scale, this bishop is closer to “a man for all seasons” than a rigid non-traditionalist.
    What I enjoyed in this interview, besides the start of a tale of redemption, was that two men coming from two very different places both could speak of their mutual love of the Catholic faith. Beautiful!!!

    I saw the interview with Bishop Barron, and I’ve put added him to my prayer list. Conversion to Catholicism is almost always extremely difficult, there’s a honeymoon period and the world does its worst, or best, to pull people out of it.
    I am a NO Catholic born in 1969. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and did study Latin and found an FSSP parish when I moved to Southern California. My first experience with the Tridentine Mass was accidental; I took my family to the 1 pm Mass at St Bonaventura Mission in Ventura. My second and third experience were also accidental, Sunday Mass at Westminster Cathedral (NOT Westminster Abby which the C of E stole from us) in London. And the next year back in London again I went to 11 o’clock Mass at St Stephen’s in Spanish Square before I flew home to LAX and it also just happened to be the Tridentine Mass. lol
    I decided if I could find a non-schismatic parish close to me that offered it, I would go, and I did. St. Vitus in San Fernando.
    I also grew up with one of the first episcopal priests to become a Byzantine Rite Catholic priest under the ordinariate created by Pope John Paul II, Fr. Doug Lorig, so I also love and have a deep appreciation for the united Orthodox rites, so beautiful and so symbolic.
    I think, if we go back and do a thorough examination of the second Vatican counsel and then completely undo all of the purposefully incorrectly implemented revisions (and I do believe it was a sinful and willfully deceitful and wrong implementation) and get to the actual heart of the real changes, that is where every truly faithful NO Catholic will find their home, including Bishop Barron.
    There’s a beautiful young priest who has made it both his vocation and avocation to study Vatican II and pope Benedict’s (then Cardinal Ratzinger’s) notes as he was the Secretary. It’s incredible how much leeway was taken, how much error was ushered in, how almost nothing was implemented properly.

      I do believe that Vatican II is valid, and it’s actually an extremely beautiful restatement of the Catholic Faith. If you read my comment again you’ll see that I purposefully found a non-schismatic parish. I think that the LeFevre-ites are misguided at best and prideful, sinful and disobedient to God’s will at the worst.
      What I did say, however, was that a great deal of what was actually stated in Vatican II was misrepresented on purpose, and several changes were implemented in error. Those implementation errors varied from country to country around the world, and for varying reasons and due to various human agendas. This has historically happened after any substantive changes in the 2000 year history of the Church. The pendulum swings wide one way, then swings wide in the opposite direction. It has taken, on average, about 100 to 200 years to get all the knots worked out worldwide simply due to human nature and the sheer size of the Church. I’m a faithful Catholic. I believe both forms of the Mass are valid, just as I believe the reunited Orthodox Masses are valid. I’ve attended the NO Mass all my life. I made all my sacraments in it. I still teach catechism in a NO parish and I still love my parish and go to Mass there. Attending Mass at the FSSP parish is a personal choice that I make more often than not.

    I found Bishop Barron b/c of his movie reviews. I thought they were a very interesting take on the films, and decided to watch some more of his content. It's always been both impressive and refreshing. His interviews on the Rubin Report should be mandatory viewing for anyone interested in learning things.
    I would never have watched that shia guy talking if it hadn't been for BRB doing the interview, and I'm glad that it worked out like it did. Of course, I can say the same about the TKR vid in response.
    I have to agree with TKR and Shia in that the traditional latin mass is far more important to catholicism and christianity than BRB thinks. As an outsider looking in, I was always impressed with the power and majesty of the catholic church even though I was raised baptist. As a kid, I could see the tremendous difference in the two types of churches, obviously, but also the very real depth of history in the catholic church.
    Then one day I heard about how the catholics were going to let the nuns stop wearing their habits all the time. As a non-christian and non-catholic child, this really struck me as horribly wrong even if I didn't really understand why at the time. All these many years later, I can point to one example after another where the catholic church has easily divested themselves of their traditions and beliefs in the hopes that it would make them more appealing to the masses. And while we can say this about christianity as a whole, I don't think it really resonates as strongly because other denominations were never heavily steeped in weird raiments, smoking balls swung about on chains, etc.
    In all of Christendom, only the catholics stood out as being really "old school" and powerful. Baptists and all the others... well, those were just a bunch of people gathered in a room, wearing nice clothes, and reading yet more passages from the same old book. If it wasn't for the crucifix on the wall, you could easily imagine you were in a business meeting. Catholic churches were something altogether different, especially in the Northeast where I grew up.
    Today, I can see time and time again where the catholics betrayed their own in hopes of appealing to outsiders. It's weird, too, because I see a lot of the same parallels in the blacksmithing community I'm part of, everyone always saying we have to coddle newcomers because otherwise blacksmithing will be lost. It's hogwash, but fighting against it is a Herculean task if ever there was!
    One of the reasons I quit church altogether is simply because the christians betray their own without hesitation. In big ways and small, there's always betrayal. I grew up with nuns in habits, and even as an outsider I could respect someone who decided that was their life path. I recognized that it took strength of character, fortitude, willpower. And then the nuns listened to the feminists talking about how it was unfair and that priests didn't have to wear their formal garb all the time. I saw the nuns happily side with the outsiders against their own church, the church they agreed to serve and the vestments they knew were part of their agreement. I saw the church capitulate, throwing away decades or centuries of tradition on a whim. And, sadly, I was left wondering how they might throw me away on a whim if ever someone demanded it. I wondered how they would betray me, a commoner with no power or prestige. If they will bow to the outsiders, allowing rot to set in, how can I trust them to have my back should times get tough?
    In the interview, Shia talks about how there's no Puberty Ceremony for young boys, a trial that shows they are now entering adulthood and are expected to act like it. He speaks of men being like Mountains for the community. I think too many people missed out on this, but it resonated with me because it reminded me of an old Russian saying, "Men are like the stone wall behind which the garden flourishes."
    The Latin Mass, with all its pomp and circumstance, was at least something. Sure, it wasn't a Rite of Passage and didn't mark any one person out as having achieved a goal or crossed a threshold, but it was at least something. Like it or not, people crave roots. They crave ceremony and meaning and hallmarks. It's the same part of our brain that draws us into a story, making us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. When the church stopped the Latin Mass, it betrayed its own in favor of outsiders.
    The Rite of Passage Shia speaks of only works when the society honors and upholds the meaning behind that Rite. The Catholic Church turned their backs on that meaning when then did away with the Latin Mass, just like Western Society turned their backs on the Rites of Passage boys had been going through for thousands of years. It's no coincidence that every single primitive culture around the world has independently developed Rites of Passage for their young boys and girls. This is something that speaks to the very core of who we are as humans.
    The problem with both the Rite of Passage and the Latin Mass is that it demands the Grown-Ups live up to the expectations set. You cannot ask boys to become that Stone Wall behind which the Garden Flourishes if everyone's constantly complaining about how restrictive the Stone Wall is, how much the Stone Wall keeps out, etc. Even those stone walls, for as sturdy as they appear, need to be maintained and refurbished after weathering the storms the world throws against them.
    Shia mentioned that men are to be like the Mountains, and he is right. However, Mountains grow in Ranges, chains of Mountains locked together to form a barrier. There are passes through the mountains, but they are tight and troublesome and closed to many. That's what the men of society used to be. It wasn't that they didn't allow passage through their blockade, but that they made it just difficult enough that only what was good and worthy could manage the journey. The Mountains protected what was beyond them.
    Unfortunately, society, like the church, forgot that they were supposed to honor and respect those they asked to stand firm in their defense. Society, like the church, listened to the sweet-nothings whispered in their ears by the snakes in the grass. Instead of honoring and respecting the men who stood firm, they started attacking the men, calling them all sorts of names and saying they were preventing the garden from growing to its full potential. The people happily widened the passes, flattening them, drilling through the mountains to make for even easier travel.
    The Catholic Church, like the larger Society, always takes the easy way out. They betray their own. They forego traditions that have been practiced for hundreds of years. How can anyone take them seriously when they can never know where the next betrayal will come from?
    When you look at the muslims, they stand strong together and will chop your head off if you go against them. Leaving that cult comes with an automatic death sentence and they don't care if anyone outside of their group thinks that's barbaric. They take care of their own. They network within their group. They build each other up. And they absolutely do not bend the knee to outsiders who demand "reform". They say homosexuality is bad and throw gays off rooftops wherever they find them.
    You might not agree with that, but you have to respect their firm adherence to what they claim to believe. Even when the appear to be going along with the culture at large, they are always working to better their cult, to garner more wealth and power for their kind. You don't have to like it, but you have to agree that they stand firmly.
    Where do you see that in Christendom? As an outsider looking in, that agnostic Shia spoke of, I see only betrayal and surrender in the Christian world. I see fear and timidity, and it doesn't inspire me to join. As Shia noted, he was surprised to learn of this tough, masculine Padre Pio because that's something he never associated with christianity. He, like so many others, grew up with the idea that christ was weak and cowardly, beaten and slaughtered, and the christians he knew in his own life actually lived just like that. The christians he knew, like so many of us know, are hypocritical to a large extent, but also have no iron in their spines. Who wants to be a part of that? It's wholly unappealing, but the church has embraced this hippy-dippy feminine way that's ultimately self-destructive, as we've seen.
    In the end, I really enjoyed Shia's interview and learning more about Padre Pio. I hope the Catholics will turn their church around, and I think the Latin Mass is a good first step.

      You're speaking nonsense with big words. Latin at one time was the vernacular tongue, hence Jerome's need to create what we call the Vulgate. Greek had fallen into disuse. Latin enjoyed a heck of run, well into the 16th century as the theological go-to, and into the 18th century in Law, and even into today, but it's no one's native language. Faith (Greek: "pistis") is far more than tradition, and you know all this stuff, I'm sure. I encourage you to walk in what you know, not your miffed feelings: "Happy is he who is not offended in me."

    There is no right or wrong when comparing both mass types. It boils down to what's best for you as the individual. Everything being explained whether it be via Shia or Bishop Barron, it's all perspective and personal testimony. Everyone has their own perspective of what value either type of mass brings to them. If Latin mass is good for you, then go to Latin mass. If new mass is good for you, then obviously attend new mass. At the end of the day, both types of mass contain value in terms of worship and being fed the word of God.

    I just attend the 6:30am Mass there then. No bells and whistles. No guitars or anything.
    I might go back to the TLM eventually. Everybody was welcoming there from the outset except for, ironically, the priest. Could just be his personality. Couldn't say one way or another.
