John Q as a stranger, I won’t judge you nor tell you how to live your life, but my advice is to not let human nature turn you against anything, be it the church, or anything else. If religious fanatics made you leave Catholicism, I perfectly understand, but never let the cons blind you from the pros. Sure, I am biased, since I’m a Catholic myself, but I’m definitely not perfect like everyone else. Have a nice day.🙂

I'm sorry that you're struggling a little bit, you can hear it in your voice. You have been given a vision of a ministry field, and you are fulfilling it... Remain on that path until you're told otherwise by our God. You are good man, and an excellent priest. I am a devout Christian, but I was raised a Catholic, you are currently my only connection to the Catholic Church. Keep doing what you do, and thank you for your honesty and openness about how you feel today.

Father I am about half way through this video and feel compelled to comment, I am a Catholic in my early thirties and while I believe in the tradition of the Church I think that the communication between the Church and people of my generation is all wrong. A priest who sits and builds lego and reacts to Star Wars videos and talks in a language that is current to my generation the communication of faith becomes much more effective. It makes me reflect on my faith and think about the role of god in my life. Sometimes I think the language of the church could be better and that if my local priest was giving sermons about this or how we should look out for the Darth Vader in our soul I would be at mass every Sunday. Since I started following your channel I have found myself thinking about my own faith a lot more, I came for the Star Wars videos but I stayed because I realised that you got me slightly closer to god. Honestly its because you speak like me, you could be my mate sitting in a bar having a chat about god over a few beers. I think if your turning people like me closer to god then your probably a step closer to salvation than others.

I watched your review of the Thor Ragnarok movie and how you related it to stories in the bible. I see that you've watched the Star Wars movies with your brother since you were kids. I don't see how being entertained by science fiction makes you an evil person. I wonder why that people think that because you are a Priest that you can't have fun sometimes too. And if that's with lego, then Power to you. Kids can relate to you and people can discover that a Catholic Priest is human just like the rest of us and can admit imperfections. Keep doing what you do, because you do it well.

Father my wife was born into a family devoted to the ultra conservative SSPX. I met her in our local community college and starting spiraling down the "traditionalist" Catholic faction rabbit hole. I even married her in this group. So I COMPLETELY understand these critics and how sad it is that out of all the issues in the world they devote their energy to attacking you. Obviously my family is no longer associated with this group or the traditionalist movement. We are simply Catholics trying to lead good Christian lives in an Imitation of Christ. We DESPERATELY NEED priests such as yourself reaching out in this way. PLEASE CONTINUE your ministry and may God Bless you always!

This is going to be long. I was with someone very close to me, sitting in the Intensive Care Unit, who had attempted suicide. In a Catholic hospital, there was very little reading material but the Catechism of the Catholic Church. While I had a secular person's idea of Catholicism and Protestantism, I read ... and read ... but the thing that stuck me was the overwhelming sense of grandeur and exuberance attached to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. I've been at ISKCON, I've read Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, chanted in Nichiren Buddhist services, searched far and wide for some feeling of Universal Truth, but it was the language employed in that book that made something stir inside in a different and profound way. It is not an organization that abuses people, it is people who abuse people, and it is people who decide whether it will be covered and divulged. Just like any group of people, taking a group of people as a monolith is a prejudice. I watch your videos, because you do speak a common language of Star Wars and so on (they are all fictional entertainments, and I am not praying to Sith lords or whatever), but also because you do exemplify that kindness, that enthusiasm and exuberance that I encountered so long ago. I am a great follower and admirer of your work, and that wonderful spirit makes you a true ambassador of your faith and spirit. Peace be upon you, my friend, and you have a constant viewer. Thank you for what you do.

Hey, I just found your channel and I find it quite interesting.

If you'd allow me a suggestion, I would be very interested to see you review/react to Avatar: the last airbender. I would be interested to get your take on a series which takes a lot of inspiration from eastern culture and philosophy. It is a series which has helped shape me into the person I am today, I would even consider it my favorite cartoon of all time. It is but a humble request that I hope you'll consider.

I wish this video had popped up for a bit earlier in the year, but better late than never, right? Father Roderick, this Easter I was Confirmed into the Church, having been an atheist probably up to a year previously (though was baptised as an Anglican etc as a child.) Among other things, you helped me realise a lot of things that led me into thinking - and, eventually, praying - and I went on to become a Catholic. It's likely that if this wasn't part of your Mission it would've taken me longer to convert if I did at all, so at the very least there's one fellow in deepest darkest Wales who has you to thank. Also, the priest who did my RCIA has a Spock teddy and on more than one occasion our sessions would drift off into discussions on science fiction, Monty Python or whatever. You're definitely not alone in being a priest with geeky/nerdy tastes, as you're no doubt aware. Seriously though, thank you.

The odd thing about my support of you is the vast difference between us. I am a gay atheist. I have no problems admitting it nor am I ashamed of it. I know that your religious and belief system are both on the opposite spectrum of mine. You have a rather strict interpretation of sexuality and my beliefs on this topics are very different than yours. But those differences we have, are a part of why I enjoy your content. You are never malicious or vindictive in your dialog. You have expressed your discomfort with the LGBTQ community in a way that is not cruel, though not fully accepting. I can handle that. It's ok. I have opinions about all religions in general that you would not be comfortable with. You know what? That's ok too. Build bridges to those not like you and not put up walls. in my opinion, this is your best video content you've ever created. You are expressing a very vulnerable and authentic side to yourself. You have allowed your audience and dare I say it, "your community" to see a side of you that is very relatable. I feel like I know you more as a person, not just a public figure. Your VLOGS and Podcast usually have an upbeat feel to them. This one is somber and real. There will always be critics to a public figure, you will never appease everyone. Keep creating content that comes from your amazing creative mind. Best Wishes and I will continue my support. Off note. I love the shorter videos and podcasts. It's just easier to absorb the information.

Dear Father Roderick, I find your videos so refreshing and joyful, and like you say - it is a way to reach out and build a bridge for you and young people to communicate. You are an example. Someone who shows kids that the catholic church is not evil, that the church can live in a modern time and - most of it all - that priests are just normal people. Those catholics who criticize you for watching Star Wars and building lego: They have not understood what you are doing. They have not understood that it's your way to communicate with young people, and that you take an interest in the ways and behaviours of young people (and that you also enjoy it). They are stuck in their ways. They never understood that the catholic church must find a way to adapt to modern times if it wants to survive and be alive. Faith must be lived. Today. Faith must be in the present, not in the past. They should remember what Jesus said: "Those who are without sin throw the first stone." Those who think you are evil because you are a catholic priest have never understood that there's no right or wrong if it comes to faith. Faith is something very personal and intimate. No one should judge another person's faith. No one can really say "My faith is right, and yours is wrong" because no one can really proof it. Yes, the abrahamitic religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism have their claim to be the only right faith - but that's one of their bigger errors, I think, and caused many tragedies in the past. But that aside, in my opinion, every faith is to be praised, as long as one doesn't harm other people and animals because of it. In the end, religion is just an attempt to explain something that defies our understanding. May it be the Force, God, Allah, Chi, Dao or Manitu - it is all just different names for whatever awaits us. May God bless you, or, like i say: May the Force guide and protect you.

With these people we should try and presuade them that they are wrong. I believe you are a good man.

Father I haven't been to ANY kind of church event in over 30 years, I watched you on Sunday do your full Mass for Geeks, if that makes you evil I just do not know what to say other than you are doing it right. I consider myself agnostic but you make it interesting.

Respected Father Roderick: if you are "evil", then I don't know what evil is. Keep on keepin' on!

Thank you for sharing the kind of videos you do on a variety of topics including Star Wars and Harry Potter. Your critics are wrong. Jesus went out to where his flock was. He spent time with prostitutes, with sinners, with criminals (even crucified like one and next to them). It is important for leaders to be where their followers are. As a representative of the Holy Roman Catholic Church you NEED to be where the flock is. So many Catholics are lapsed. So many were raised Catholic and never continue in the Church as an adult. Many of them don't share the faith with their children. God is in all of us. By sharing relatable content to those of us in a younger generation you are making God accessible to us. In doing so we can be more familiar with the Word and I truly believe that people can find their way or find their way back to the Church and to God as a result of the good work that you do. None of us are perfect of course. But, you are doing important work in His name. I thank God for sending you to us to do His will and I include you in my prayers of thanks. May we always do God's will with a loving and kind and charitable heart. Thank you for you. Thank you for being the amazing, kind, beautiful, loving, caring, and compassionate man and priest that God made you.

even tho i am not religious i have respect for those like your self, its very rare to see priests in the same manner as your self and you raze little bit of awareness for those who work for the church have their own lifes outside the religion through their love of scifi , games and movies

Ik hou van de video's en podcasts die je maakt en van de manier waarop je je geloof weet te verbinden aan het geek-zijn en geeks zo weet te verbinden. Blijf vooral zoals je bent. Hoop je graag nog weer eens te spreken.

You're such an amazing priest. No way you're evil. You're finding good from so many things. The Internet brings out the worst in everyone. Haters gonna hate!

You are no evil priest, You are the one who got me out of radicalism and being scrupulous about sins when my brother introduced me to your podcasts and I started listening to the break and then the biggest loser fan podcast, then the walk and now I watch your vlogs. I now do blogs, vlogs and podcasts on a smaller scale. You have brought out that interest in me. Thank you.
