In the first, Michael Voris posits that the lack of unity in the Church is a dread problem, and the result of variance from accepted Dogma.  He especially warns about those subtle “wolves in sheep’s clothing” who present themselves as faithful Catholics, but who undermine the Faith from within with error and doubt.  Most commonly, these errors stem from a sad embrace of the world and it’s “wisdom:”

The second video may be more controversial, but Voris asks a very salient question – how can the Church evangelize effectively and compete with very grass-roots based evangelical protestant efforts when it is burdened with its corporate-model of incredibly top heavy bureuacracy?  By the time the “new evangelization” is implemented, will the world have moved way beyond it, and a still “newer” evangelization will be required, which will then also be waaaay late?  The Catholic Church possesses the source of all Truth – the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We need far more on fire souls to proclaim this Truth, but will committees and dicasteries and ad hoc panels produce such?

I love love love the part from 3:15 – 3:30!  It’s so true!  

So, who thinks I should get paid to preach Catholic Truth?  Kidding aside – I could not agree more about the complaint that if we had stayed far more focused on serving the spiritual needs of people, and far less on temporal concerns, we would not have a need for a “new evangelization.”  Is a “new evangelization” needed in Africa, where the Church is growing rapidly, but is perhaps less “graced” with “structures?”
