I have formed opinions on Fr. Richards two ways, I have listened to his recorded conferences to youth and I have watched him on you tube give homilies.
From listening to him on Catholic radio there were a couple of things that he said that immediately drew red lights for me and that was when he told the story of one of his friends or somebody that he knew who had been a protestant and had converted to Catholicism. He had been reading the, as he called it, “old teaching” of the Church and came across the reference such as “there is no salvation outside the Church” he (Fr Richards) ridiculed the notion once again addressing it as “old teaching” comparing it to how people used to travel by horse and now they do so in cars, In other words he challenged the uniqueness of the Church and called this person a fundamentalist comparing him to Evangelical thought.
After listening to him I decided to find out more about him so I went to youtube and saw him give homilies and messages in a Church, I noticed that the part of the Sanctuary had close to the tabernacle cut off colored hands that seem to make a trail all the way to the Tabernacle. Now I have seen him in two videos on different occasions.
I am still deciding weather or not he is worth listening to, I know he has a cd about the Mass in which he explains it, I would like to hear it and I think that would be deciding factor on weather or not he is heretical or not.
