Just tuned in to some of the June 2010 episodes of The Vortex for RealCatholicTV. Notre Dame alum Michael Voris is rightly concerned about the number of Catholics who are disillusioned about the social justice ‘gospel’ which a number of bishops and priests are pushing. He is also actively evangelising in private, responding to requests from Catholics who are asking him for help in recovering their faith.
It’s very sad that one layman must seek another out for spiritual help! When I was growing up, the priests were the first ports of call. However, modernism and postmodernism have really sunk in to the point where many Catholics — and not just in the US but in other countries — aren’t sure where to turn.
Having said that, isn’t it great that a layman is stepping up to the plate to help his fellow Catholics?
Voris broadcasts from Rome, where he says many clergy and hierarchy understand the problem. Many young people entering religious vocations also understand:
Voris, back in the US from Rome, tells us how the social justice mantra is overriding Catholic teaching and the Great Commission:
He also examines the love-in between American bishops and the Democratic Party:
Catholics working for truth and fidelity to God and His Son Jesus Christ are not ‘divisive’ (as some priests say); they’re doing what they need to do. It’s a pity that many clergy don’t realise it.

As a Christ Following daughter of the most High, I am concerned about how you have addressed the public in sending confusing messages about the true concept of salvation and it’s significance. Jesus Christ died to the Cross to grant salvation to all his children (Galatians 3:22).” Believe in me” says the Lord Almighty. Lean on His understanding and not on your own. You spoke about a Priest who admitted that a person can come to Christ through Faith in him and protested because you felt he needed to explain that the Catholic Way is the only Way to Truth, and you seemed to have this confused. Jesus says, “I am the Way, the truth and the life” – it is to have FAITH IN HIM.
Perhaps reviewing the book of Galatians where Peter was rebuked by Paul because he was bias against the Gentiles – God taught Peter through a vision that Gentiles are clean before Him, so long that they come to believe in His son. Paul was commissioned straight from the throne of heaven to do his will by preaching to all that Jesus is Lord. For Jesus said that he is the resurrection. Paul responded to the church hierarchy – this is true, but it was through faith in Christ that all shall be saved and not through things that are added in the gospel. Paul was criticized by the Judaizes who were Jews who believed in the Jesus being the Messiah, man’s wisdom, led them to believe that the people had to observe mosaic laws in order to be “Christian” – followers of Christ. This is false, and this notion had been corrected by the Holy Spirit, and just the same I am led to tell you to stop confusing God’s people and correcting God’s Holy People, the priest you talked about in one of your preview shows of Catholic TV. God shows no partiality his Word states, and although there are theological differences, you and others cannot tell God’s people that you must practice certain rituals to be accepted into the kingdom of God. God knows a man’s heart, and you are not speaking from his spirit, but from a foolish mind – a cardinal mind that seeks to separate God’s Holy people.
Prayer:
Father in heaven, you know my heart and my mind. Bring forth a renewal through the sector and leaders of the Catholic Church. Bring forth your kingdom and teach them all that it is through your Hand and Power, it is through your might that things are accomplished, and it is through your spirit that we can breathe life onto others. Bring forth a strong revelation to all your people about Who you are. Help us not to get caught up in added legalism that separates us from you. Cast down the religiosity spirit that keeps your people blind folded to having a genuine living relationship with you, In Christ Jesus name I pray. Amen

Thanks, Lillian, for your considered comment.
Whilst I take on board what you are saying, when a layman goes to a priest for spiritual guidance or sees in his preaching that he is not carrying out the spirit of the New Testament (regardless of what my Protestant readers might think about the Roman Catholic Church), then, we have an issue, which is what Michael Voris is addressing.
It’s great that Mr Voris has this type of ministry, which many Catholic laypeople sorely need. Unfortunately, when there are doctrinally lax priests about — and there are many, not just in the US — he is correct in saying there is a problem with the clergy. And he is also correct in saying that many preach Modernism, which is a heresy. It seems that Mr Voris, quite rightly, feels a deep sadness in observing not only what is going on in the Church but hearing similar stories from laypeople asking him for help.
Yes, of course, one comes to Christ through Scripture, but the priests are supposed to be shepherds of the flock, are they not?
I am uncertain whether you are Catholic, but for faithful, traditional Catholics to find that their priests are saying clown Masses, omitting the Creed and giving schoolchildren pride of place instead of delivering a sermon, one cannot help but empathise. Those incidents — of which there is evidence on this blog — demonstrate that many Catholics feel disenfranchised from their own churches.

I just saw this response, and I’m sorry it’s so late in the season. I failed to understand from what you wrote what was correct in “voris’ teaching” because that is what it is…Voris’ teaching. When a person speaks from ‘self” rather than from the Spirit of God, all is confused and the real message of salvation is lost.
I still did not see where in your statement is indicating what is correct in how and what Voris’ teaches. I am a child of Christ, and will go where he sends me regardless of who I am to pray for, and he is one that will be held up in prayer.
Voris finds something wrong with people holding hands during ,mass. Does he read God’s Word at all. God says, “where there is 2 or 3 gathered in my name, I will be in the midst of you. So, why would Voris object this. It’s because Satan does not want to see God’s people in a Catholic church learn how to worship and pray to him. Satan does not want to see a union body. Satan wants to help people find something wrong with having people pray together uniformly. Also, it’s ok to have preference of syle of music, but Voris believes that one should not play instruments in a mass, why? It’s because Satan does not want God’s people in the Catholic church to worship him with their full hearts. Does he not know that the walls of Jericho were destroyed following the playing of trumpets. YOu see, instruments symbolize victory, it’s used as a mighty weapon against Satan…do you think Satan wants to see God’s people worship Him in Spirit and in truth? So Let’s pray that God helps Voris recieve a supernatural awakening – for him to stop spreading falsehood in God’ name.

He’s objecting to the aberration of the Vatican II Mass. I have written hundreds of words on it:
https://churchmousec.wordpress.com/tag/vatican-ii/
I don’t know where you go to church, but a number of Catholic parishes are eliminating essential sections of the Mass. Those priests do not want to hear any rightful objections from parishoners. Michael Voris is a go-to man for Catholics who are lost, saddened and frustrated by this. He does his best to escalate these concerns in Rome. They want to attend a Catholic church which includes the Creed, all the prayers and decent hymns, all done in reverence — not a truncated modern Mass with clowns and dancing.
