Thank you Father. I will listen to it later. Alto the name Trent immediately made think of the council of Trent. Alto that might only be a coincidence.

That refers to the name of the host, Trent Horn, a Catholic apologist. I'm not sure if his parents deliberately named him Trent after the Council or if it's just coincidental, either way, he jokingly names his show "The Counsel of Trent."

Don't bother with me, I'm just a narrow-minded bigot who does nothing but "proselytize" not because I actually love the Faith, because no one loves the Faith, we're just "using it to justify our bigotry." If you see any thread by me on here that isn't "proselytizing," I can't explain that because that's obviously impossible; because again, all I've ever done on here is "proselytize."

WP is the 2nd worst forum site I have ever been on.

Being dis-interested in the "lost sheep" is also what you are implying, and which reinforces my claim that the Church simply doesn't care about anyone other than "... those who are religious or at least interested in exploring religion".

I should add that not everyone has the same vocation, in the war between the Mother of God and the father of lies, not everyone is called to the frontlines. One of the patron Saints of missionaries was Saint Therese of Lisieux, and she never left her convent, she merely prayed for the missions and for conversions of those who are outside the Church. I believe I am called more to the heavy artillery division than the frontlines in this spiritual conflict; granted, I'm sort of on the frontlines here, and everyone involved in the heavy artillery division should be ready in case the fighting reaches them. But I believe I'll be much more effective at serving the Church Militant by working on my literary ideas, and praying for the conversion of peoples and cultures.

The pen is mightier than the sword, and the Rosary even mightier than the pen.

I was a guest on a top Catholic podcast this week. The host had a man with cerebral palsy and myself on to talk about how the church could get people like us involved in the faith. Some of you might find it interesting if you want ideas for convincing others at your church to include us.

I hope this also helps other Christians. I doubt this will help non-Christians too much: a single podcast can only do so much, sorry.

Father, I just wanted to say that I watched two of your Youtube videos on prayer and found your one on leaping straight into non-verbal prayer very helpful; I already had a bit of an idea and instinct of simply "placing my intentions in the Immaculate hands of Mary," as I put it, but your video really made it click.

I'll be listening to your podcast interview shortly, although I'll probably have already finished long before you see this post.

I think there are different forums for different concerns. I am concerned about the lost sheep. However, if I appear on a Catholic podcast, I will focus on the Catholic audience as I don't expect too many non-Christians to be listening. I would gladly appear on a more secular autistic podcast to address the concerns of people like you or "lost sheep." I realize that I have lots to say - I tend towards being hyperverbal, not non-verbal - but in 20 minutes on one podcast I have to focus on what the main audience of the particular podcast needs to hear.

Thank you, Father! I'm glad to see religious Aspies advocating for themselves, and it's encouraging to hear that the podcast brought an Autistic Priest to talk about how to make Catholicism more open for Aspies. Hopefully this will become a trend in Christianity-- I'd love for it to reach Orthodoxy. :heart:

I also think Catholics and Orthodox tend to be similar in worship while many Protestants don't have a set liturgy like we do.

Reformists do have set liturgies, but we're not locked into them -- some flexibility is allowed at the Pastors' discretion.

If you would like to publicize a bit more, may I share your links on Christian community sites (such as the Catholic subreddit on reddit.com?) I figured I should ask.

Yes, I generally post links to /r/Catholicism when posted but I'm sure there are plenty of other places I overlook.

Oh, definitely. I said "many Protestants don't have a set liturgy" as a summary rather than getting into subdivisions within Protestantism. In the USA, the Evangelical & Baptist churches are now the majority of Protestants and they have much less of a set liturgy compared to Anglicans/Episcopalians, Dutch Reformed, Methodists, some Lutherans, and some Presbyterians.
