I agree. I’m a strong advocate of reading up on papal encyclicals or translations of Wednesday audiences. They really aren’t that hard to read, and they still contain a lot of great spiritual information. Or if a Holy Father has written a book or (like Pope John XXIII) has his journal or personal notes published, also good reading material.

Or anyone with a theological degree greater than an STB 😛 After all, would you rather read a physics article with someone with a PhD in physics or a BS in physics?

Yes, the weekly audiences of the Pope should be what Catholics are paying attention to every week.

I’ve just started listening to MV and am wondering what those familiar with him and his ideas think of him.

I’ve yet to hear Voris say anything contrary to Church teaching even in his “opinionated” segment the Vortex. The problem many people have with him is that they only know him from the Vortex, so they immediately assume that the entire organization is like that, but it really isn’t. The Vortex is but a mere part of their organization. If one is a premium member they will have a chance to use a lot of their material, which are very good stuff! MV is not for everyone, some people prefer someone with a soft touchy voice to give out their opinion, or a more scholastic way of speaking. I personally like the guy because there aren’t too many guys out there preaching the truth with full force.
 
He espouses some traditional values that I agree with 100%, however he is really uncharitable, offensive and sensational. I wish he wouldn’t speak in the name of the Catholic Church.
 
I regularly watch the Vortex and I feel that it has been huge in my conversion to the faith. Voris is attempting to bring the masculine element that has been lost from the Church back into view. Michael Voris’ message actually focuses almost exclusively on the masculine which is what I think turns some viewers off.

The feminine elements within the Church are certainly relevant as well (social justice, peace, etc…) and it’s true that you’re not going to hear a lot about those things while listening to Michael Voris. That said, I think we get so much of the feminine in our daily Catholic lives (and so little of the masculine) that Michael Voris’ tendency to the masculine is meant more to be a balancing perspective then to be the complete Catholic message in and of itself. 🙂
 
I’d say he’s 90% correct, but he ain’t no Bishop, he’s a lay person just like you and me.

He can be offensive, but more often he’s spot on.

One of the best treatments of homosexuality that I’ve ever heard was done by MV and it was surprisingly gentle, respectful and meaningful.

I really enjoy and have learned a lot from Micheal Voris as Did I with Fr Caropi I am not sure whater ever ended up with Fr Caropi but thats another thread in itself.
 
I LOVE Michael Voris. Love him love him love him. Admonish the sinner, I say! Leaving people to marinate in their sin and ignorance just to be “nice” and “not hurt their feelings” is NOT true charity AT ALL!!!

Michael Voris knows this and is the opposite of all that. He tell you even if you may not want to hear it.

The world needs him and more like him. I wish the priest in our town here would tune in to Michael and stop his liberal ways.
I also love that his name is Michael…because he is so much like that tough fighting angel. Pray for Michael Voris. That he might do even more, and on and on…
 
He has also shown he has “tact” and sensetivity, I have seen videos of his which have as previously refered to in this thread, exhibited great kindness towards those with Same sex Attraction. People with SSA can get a very hard time in the Church and paticularily in some of the more Trad areas, it is nice to see a truthful but still caring presentation on it. This was probably the best way to aprach this audience, and proves that MV has a level of versatility on how to present to each group of people.
