The John-Henry Westen Show - Redemption ｜ Eric Tafoya From Murderer To Catholic Convert PART2

00:00:00.000 We're not a church from 400 years ago like Protestants. We're not even like 60 years ago

00:00:03.980 like non-denominational churches who think they know everything. They've only been around for 60

00:00:08.280 years. Or the Mormons 200 years or Jehovah Witnesses. Our church has been around for 2,000 years.

00:00:20.240 I'm sure many of you saw the interview with Eric Tafoya, part one. This is part two. But for those

00:00:25.700 who didn't, remember Eric Tafoya is a stunning witness to the truth of the faith. He is an ex-gang

00:00:34.000 member, ex-drug addict, dealer, an ex-convict, ex-murderer, ex-criminal, ex-Jehovah Witness, 0.64

00:00:39.740 ex-Calvinist, anti-Catholic, and then became a Catholic. It is unreal. We're catching him

00:00:45.180 in his conversion story with this show. If you haven't seen the beginning yet,

00:00:50.340 please go back and watch it. This is the John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:01:37.380 May God bless you.

00:01:37.880 Three years ago, I got out of prison and I planned a lot of stuff and I said, God, I'm going to be a part

00:01:44.400 of your church. I'm confirmed. I'm going to be diligent with sharing the faith. I'm not going to

00:01:49.900 give up. It's not going to... And a lot of people will say, oh yeah, you were all holy when you were

00:01:53.280 in prison, Eric. But when you get out, like a lot of people say it's a stigma that a lot of ex-cons,

00:01:59.280 ex-addicts have on them is that, oh, you're just going to go back to your old ways.

00:02:03.220 Once you leave incarceration, you're going to fall into your old ways. And when I got out,

00:02:08.380 it was a struggle at first, to be honest with you. It was an extreme struggle because

00:02:11.880 I expected family to be there for me. And not a single person wanted to be there for me. They're

00:02:17.140 like, not only were you a drug addict and a murderer and all these other things you are, 0.99

00:02:22.760 but now you're Catholic. And all my family had gone away from Catholicism except for my grandma. 0.99

00:02:28.400 And bless her soul, she's in a convalescent home right now. She has dementia. She's the only one

00:02:33.220 that loves me. And even though she doesn't remember me most of the time. And so then all of a sudden I

00:02:37.740 got out and for one week I was homeless. And I was like, I had places to stay at a hotel room and

00:02:44.580 everything. And I had a little bit of money because I had won some kind of lawsuit from Chipotle's and

00:02:50.180 they had sent me money right before I got out of prison. I won like a $1,300 lawsuit. My name was in it.

00:02:55.560 I wasn't a part of the lawsuit, but I guess it was because of like overtime. So I had money when

00:03:00.120 I got out. And so I was like, okay, you know what? I called my parole officer and said, man,

00:03:04.300 I'm struggling to find a place because there was a time where I was going to say, you know what,

00:03:08.600 let me just go to this girl's house or let me go to my old friend's house. Even though I know he

00:03:12.560 sells drugs there, let me go over there because I need somewhere to live. You know, I need somewhere

00:03:17.120 to stay. And I got on my knees. I remember I was passing this park and I just begged him. I said,

00:03:21.680 God, I know you haven't brought me this far, Heavenly Father, for me to fall dead on my face.

00:03:26.080 I know you haven't transformed me for me to be just go back to that old way of living. And I

00:03:31.000 dropped on my knees and I prayed in front of St. Joseph, the worker in Loma Linda. There's a park

00:03:35.760 right next to it. And then they have a blessed Virgin Mary statue right there. Mama statues right 1.00

00:03:40.380 there. And I went in front of him and I said, please, I know you have me. And because it was during

00:03:45.440 COVID. So even parole didn't have any kind of funding for me because I said, well, it's the

00:03:51.940 heart of COVID. We can't get you in nowhere. But I did call my parole officer and I told him I have

00:03:55.940 $600. Can you please find me a place to stay? I have money. I can do it myself. And never before in

00:04:02.380 my life had I ever been self-sufficient. Never before in my life had I ever turned toward God instead of

00:04:10.240 turning towards drugs or a path of life that was going to lead to my destruction again. And this moment

00:04:15.220 I have now being a Catholic, knowing the virtues, knowing asceticism, knowing I have to mortify

00:04:20.880 the flesh, knowing that every day when I put on my armor, I'm going to have to fight. That's why

00:04:25.500 Paul says, put on the armor. St. Paul says, put on the armor of God. Not because he's trying to be

00:04:29.680 cute. Not because you're going to march around. Oh, I got the armor of God on. Hallelujah. No, because

00:04:33.800 when a soldier puts on his armor, he's ready to battle. He's ready to fight. And my professor

00:04:40.360 actually said, you know what? I do have a place for you. So it was about a week and a half

00:04:44.620 after I was out, I started renting my own little room. I lived in a room with another guy, but now

00:04:50.240 for the first time in my life, I was self-sufficient. And I found a job that first week I was out,

00:04:55.700 still have the same job as a wilder fabricator. To this day, three years later, first time I ever

00:05:00.680 had a job longer than six months. I had never been consistent with anything ever in my life. Now being

00:05:07.620 Catholic and understanding the battles and understanding these vices and understanding that I have to work

00:05:13.860 towards my salvation every day and the devil doesn't want me happy, I saw that. So then,

00:05:18.860 okay, now I'm grounded. I got a place. I got a home. I'm in the faith. I'm praying the rosary every day.

00:05:24.440 I'm saying in scriptures. Now I need to find a church. And that's where it kind of struggles

00:05:28.700 continues to happen because all my family has rejected me since I've been out. Sometimes it can

00:05:33.380 be a little, it gets a little to me because I know who I am in Christ now. And it's like, I'm not that

00:05:38.260 same person no more. Like, I know you guys understand. I've lived like that forever.

00:05:42.620 But like, I'm new in Christ. Like, for real, this guy, you see, I'll just, I'm new in Christ. I'm

00:05:46.760 sober. It's been actually, it's going to be eight years this year. You know, sober, I'm self-sufficient.

00:05:52.960 I'm in the church. Like, please, like, but even in the church, I'm all tatted down. Even though I got

00:05:57.760 all religious tattoos, I actually have shackles that are broken right here on my wrist. I have sacred

00:06:02.960 heart right here, Templar Knight, Mama right here, Jesus back here, Last Supper on my back,

00:06:09.060 Roman Catholic across my chest, all my gang tattoos I covered up. But when people see these

00:06:13.940 tattoos, especially in the faith, like I can always say there's always a lot of dry Catholics 1.00

00:06:18.280 in the faith. Sorry, I'm not knocking nobody. But they just don't see the power of the Holy

00:06:23.500 Spirit enough. And so they judge, very judgmental. Who's this guy that's on fire? You know, I

00:06:28.440 understand I'm new. I understand I have a past. So I had to endure through all these things.

00:06:32.160 But a lot of people rejected me, not necessarily rejecting me, but kind of like, okay, don't

00:06:38.640 get me wrong. There's been some amazing people that have been in my life that totally have

00:06:42.700 embraced me since I've been out. I have a couple mentors that I have, a couple priests.

00:06:46.860 I have two vocational directors, Father Lorenzi from Holy Name of Jesus, Father Duong from

00:06:52.840 the cathedral. Remember that cathedral that I was telling you about that I prayed and I asked

00:06:57.640 God to take this away from me. I said, please take this drug addiction away from me. He took

00:07:02.680 it away from me. But somebody had to lose their life. That same place that I was begging God to

00:07:07.960 take away my addiction. I live two blocks from now. And that's actually my parish where I left

00:07:13.160 her. But it was a struggle there. You know, there are a lot of Catholics everywhere. They're

00:07:17.600 kind of like, hey, who is this guy? We've got to watch out for him. He's all tatted up. And at the

00:07:21.040 time, I wouldn't dress in long sleeves. Like I now every time I go to mass, I dress to impress

00:07:25.980 because I'm about to see my king. But at that time, I didn't. I would just wear short sleeves

00:07:31.260 and go, you know, I'm all showing my tattoos off and stuff. I'm proud of him. I love my tattoos,

00:07:35.480 by the way. I really do. I enjoy them because it reaches the younger crowds, especially when I

00:07:40.600 have mosaics over. It's like mosaics all over my body. Jerusalem cross right here. My patron saint,

00:07:47.860 Saint Athanasius of Alexandria under my arm right here, you know, defender of the church. That's my

00:07:53.040 patron saint right there. And so Saint Athanasius, pray for us. And so as I was continuing to go in,

00:07:59.800 I said, you know what, Lord, I'm going to be patient. I'm going to have long suffering.

00:08:04.760 You were so patient with me and everything that I've been doing. Helped me to continue enduring this

00:08:11.260 and going through this little by little. Even though I was hurting, I wanted people's love.

00:08:15.760 I yearn for people's love, you know. And so being now two years, self-sufficient, doing everything

00:08:21.840 the right way, involved in church, lector. I help with RCIA. I usher sometimes. I do the changing of

00:08:28.880 the seasons. Knights of Columbus. I'm actually the director of life. So I'm big time. I'm pro-life.

00:08:34.500 Even before I became part of the Knights of Columbus, I go to the abortion clinics every weekend.

00:08:39.080 Every weekend, I go there just by myself and I pray the rosary. I don't intercede with the women 1.00

00:08:43.360 too much. When there's women that are with me, I'll act. I'll talk with them. I'll get this 0.52

00:08:48.220 interaction with them. I mean interaction. But I just intercede for them through prayer.

00:08:53.820 I just don't feel it's my spot to go at a woman. I don't know the hurts. I don't know the things that 0.98

00:08:59.800 they're going through. But I pray for them. I pray for the physicians. I pray for the little babies.

00:09:04.720 And I pray for those men that aren't being in those women's life, that aren't taking a hold of their

00:09:08.840 family and being moral. And I pray for the morality of America, because that's what it really

00:09:13.300 boils down to. The devil wants us all to sin. But when we start going back to the morals,

00:09:18.600 our moral compass, and start following the commandments and the love of God, that's where

00:09:23.740 everything starts changing. And so now I'm on my third year. I'm part of El Sembrador. I don't know

00:09:30.480 if you've ever heard of Esni? No. El Sembrador. It's called the Sower. It's a big Spanish ministry,

00:09:36.260 but we have an English ministry. Noel Diaz is his name. Very big in the Americas. This ministry is

00:09:43.180 like in Spain. So I'm a part of that ministry, Crisio, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Men's

00:09:49.380 Fellowship. I have a Bible study at my house every other Saturday called Iron Sharpens Iron.

00:09:55.680 One brother shall sharpen another, speaking life into men. I'm very big now on just wanting to share

00:10:02.880 what God's doing in my life. Like I was saying earlier, we should all let our light shine like

00:10:06.640 you do so that we can show the good works that we're doing and bring glory to God because we're

00:10:12.400 not doing our works. You're not on this show. I'm not here right now because I'm saying, oh,

00:10:16.300 look at me. Because like I like saying, I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody all about somebody

00:10:22.700 who saved my soul, which is Jesus Christ. And that's why we're here today, you know, evangelizing,

00:10:29.320 sharing the faith, being keen and knowing who God is in every single one of us. And if God,

00:10:34.900 and the reason why I'm so active with wanting to share this is because if God can change a filthy

00:10:39.240 rag like me, if his mercy and grace can transform me, and I'm not diagnosed with nothing. I remember

00:10:46.340 I told you earlier, they said that I was bipolar, schizophrenic. I've gone to the psychologist again.

00:10:51.040 I am sane as day. I am self-efficient. I got my own place now for two and a half years. I have an

00:10:55.200 apartment. For two and a half years, I drive a newer car. All my bills are paid. Credit score is above

00:11:01.800 800 right now. Just had to throw that one in there. Nothing like having a good credit score,

00:11:06.040 you know, never thought about that before. And just about going back into like the ghettos and

00:11:10.860 the Vardos and sharing transformation with them because I'm working on my bachelor's degree right

00:11:15.600 now in sociology. So I do go to a secular college and, but I'm kind of like, I'm cunning like a snake,

00:11:23.020 but I'm gentle as a dove because to be in their, in their areas, people want to leave the secular

00:11:28.740 colleges. But if we leave the secular colleges, then we leave our brothers and sisters alone. 0.78

00:11:33.880 So I've worked my way into there. I'm actually going to be a part of the board of directors.

00:11:38.580 This Thursday, I get voted in the board of directors for the school, making decisions on

00:11:42.380 where money goes, the different centers that we have there. And they don't know I'm really

00:11:47.840 conservative and how Catholic I am. I'm part of the Catholic Newman Club, and I'm actually an officer

00:11:52.660 for the Catholic Newman Club at Cal State San Bernardino. So just extremely active of who I am.

00:11:58.220 I'm going to be the first Catholic, the first conservative that's going to sit on their board

00:12:02.960 because everybody else that sits on their board is liberal. But I had, except for the president,

00:12:07.920 he's Catholic, he's Catholic and he's conservative, but he's very low key because for him to get to

00:12:13.000 that position, he can't open his mouth at all. But he told me, Eric, your YouTube channels,

00:12:18.340 try to stay away from the transgender stuff. Try to stay away from the pro-life stuff, even though 1.00

00:12:22.460 there is a lot of pro-life stuff on my channel, traditional urban Christian on YouTube.

00:12:26.880 But he goes, work your way in there. Don't put too much stuff on your Instagram because I'm

00:12:31.980 starting to get a good Instagram following too. I put stuff every day, just it's like a blog to show

00:12:37.120 what God's doing in my life. But I'm getting in those spaces. Why? Because we need to make sure

00:12:42.500 that we are in those spaces. They've infiltrated our church. We need to infiltrate back now. We need to

00:12:48.820 stand up for who Jesus Christ is in our lives. We need to be active, not just going to church.

00:12:54.520 That's not enough. Our future generations depend on the choices that we make. The consequences of

00:13:01.420 our choices will result in a better future for our grandchildren, for our great-grandchildren,

00:13:06.700 for anybody else that's in the world that's a part of our faith, and even just for Christians. So I'm

00:13:11.440 not just standing up for Catholic Christians. I'm trying to do these things for everybody who

00:13:15.420 professes Christ as a Catholic Christian, as a Roman Catholic, as a proud Roman Catholic,

00:13:20.200 the church that Christ built in 33 AD. It's everything to me. And being Catholic,

00:13:27.080 joining Catholicism, and actually knowing and embracing the teachings has transformed me into

00:13:32.760 this soldier for Christ, to this man who wants to stand up. Even when people are like,

00:13:37.460 don't talk about Jesus. No. I wear my sacramentals. I like it because it has the military cord. It's a

00:13:44.640 rosary. But this is the kind you can wear because it has the military rope on it. I heard that these

00:13:49.540 are the, you can wear these ones. And that has all my little miraculous medals, St. Padre Pio,

00:13:55.460 St. Athanasius of Alexandria, Mama Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Charbel, and St. Benedict

00:14:03.420 are on my miraculous medals right here. And I really believe it, that we should wear it proudly

00:14:09.100 wherever we go. I don't care where I'm at. It's always, either this or my Benedict cross is always

00:14:15.120 out. And I try to engage with a lot of brothers and sisters. Always wear it. Don't just say we're

00:14:20.660 Catholic. This is how people know who we are. Not just by the way we love one another, but when they

00:14:25.120 see the miraculous medals, they know who we are. The devil can't turn away from who that is because

00:14:31.380 he knows what Catholics, what we wear, you know. Tell us about CrossFit. You've got a very neat

00:14:39.160 program that you tell people about to give them the essentials. What's that? You guys know CrossFit

00:14:45.640 out there, cross training. It's like this full body workout. So, you know, I got a story where I asked a

00:14:51.660 friend, hey, he works out all the time. And I'm like, hey, buddy, you want to go for a hike with me?

00:14:56.380 And he's like, oh, yeah, I'll go for a hike with you. We went on this hike. I dominated the guy in

00:15:02.620 the hike. Why? Because he always works his upper body. He wasn't working his lower body. And so he

00:15:08.680 started getting cramps. He couldn't make the full hike. And so the reason why is because he didn't do

00:15:14.520 the full cross train workout. And so now I reflect this on cross training. And so cross training to me

00:15:22.140 is let me get let me get out of the way a little bit. Or let me just show you right here. It's the

00:15:26.580 cross. And so I talk about this cross training right here. There's four points of the cross we

00:15:32.460 have on here, correct? Where Jesus's head sat, where his feet were nailed, where his hands were both

00:15:38.460 nailed to the cross. And so with CrossFit in the physical aspect, that physical workout, it trains

00:15:44.740 the entire body. So no matter what you're doing, you're full fit. I do CrossFit at when I work out at the

00:15:49.880 gym. I love going to the gym. It's a big part of my who I am. And the Bible does say out there

00:15:55.000 that physical workout does profit you a little. I know spiritual workout profits you in abundance,

00:16:00.660 but it's an important thing to understand that the Bible does say that physical workout profits you.

00:16:06.320 So with CrossFit, Cross training, it's called Cross training. I take every point of the cross. The top

00:16:11.560 part of the cross I talk about is the Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our faith.

00:16:18.160 There are efficacious graces and powers. Every time you take the Eucharist, it transforms your heart,

00:16:25.540 your mind. It gives you forgiveness and love. We remember what Jesus did for us on the cross, that

00:16:31.740 sacrifice that he did for us that lasts a lifetime. And we keep on taking it every time we go to Mass.

00:16:37.600 So going to Mass and taking the Eucharist is vital because like the Catechism says, it is the source

00:16:43.480 and summit of our faith. Jesus says, he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life in you. So he

00:16:50.480 who doesn't eat his flesh and drink his blood has no life in you. Remember that. And even before he says

00:16:55.640 that, he says, verily, verily, or truly, truly, he wants us to hear that taking this is extremely

00:17:03.040 important. And even in Corinthians 11, St. Paul says, take it as often as you can until Christ comes back.

00:17:11.340 That's an important part of it. But I noticed a lot of people that go to Mass and they go to church and

00:17:16.180 they're awesome individuals. Hey, they're going to Mass, they're taking the Eucharist, praise God.

00:17:20.420 But there's always like something's missing. They always seem a little dry. They're always seem like

00:17:25.660 honoring a little bit. And so I cross training now leads me to the bottom of the cross,

00:17:31.540 where I actually speak about praying with my 60 millimeter. And so my say, everybody knows what a

00:17:39.220 millimeter is. It's a gun. Well, my 60 millimeter, that's a big shell. Like they're big like that.

00:17:44.940 But my 60 millimeter is the Holy Rosary. Why? Because there's 60 beads on our rosary. Praying in every day

00:17:53.220 gives us strength. It gives us power. We meditate on Jesus's life. Plus Padre Pio says it's the,

00:17:59.340 one of the greatest weapons, if not the greatest weapon that we have to defend against the devil.

00:18:05.580 The devil don't got no power when you're in the rosary. And it's like our, our buddy, Taylor Marshall

00:18:10.540 says, those who don't pray the rosary daily aren't on the team, you know? So you're on the team when

00:18:17.660 you're praying the rosary, even, even if it's hard for you at first to get into praying the rosary,

00:18:23.020 everybody out there, go on YouTube, start off slow, go to YouTube, get, they have different ones. You

00:18:30.100 can get a rosary. That's an hour. You can get a rosary. That's 15 minutes, but at least listen to

00:18:35.640 it. Understand what the rosary is about. If you're not already praying the rosary today, because going

00:18:40.940 to mass, taking the Eucharist, that's already efficacious graces in the Eucharist, but now praying

00:18:46.800 and getting more graces. And our blessed mother wants us to pray this for the salvation of the world

00:18:52.080 and to bend us against the devil, it makes you a little bit stronger now. But even at that,

00:18:57.880 we got the Eucharist, we got the rosary at the bottom. I also believe that it's important on this

00:19:03.980 side of the cross. Now I talk about is learning the doctrine of the faith and reading the Bible.

00:19:10.720 It's important. You know, many times I've gone up to Catholics when I wasn't Catholic and I would say

00:19:14.500 like, Hey, you know, that you shouldn't call nobody father, or, you know, that baptism is just a symbol.

00:19:22.140 There's really nothing going on. Or the Eucharist is just a sign or it's a symbol. It's not really

00:19:27.260 his body and blood. You know, many times I've told people that and they're like, Oh, or why are you

00:19:31.560 praying to the saints? You're only supposed to pray to God, you know, different things like that. And

00:19:35.900 knowing your faith empowers you to be a strong Catholic so that you don't capitulate to their,

00:19:41.720 or like when you have a cross on, I've seen a lot of people, I've asked them, Hey, what is that

00:19:46.940 miraculous medal around your neck? And people will actually get it and they'll put it, Oh,

00:19:51.640 it's nothing. It's I'm Catholic. And they'll put it away, but they won't explain like who's on there

00:19:57.940 or what it means. Because knowing your faith, knowing why we wear the miraculous medals,

00:20:03.220 knowing why we wear the crucifix or why we pray rosaries, it's important because it empowers you

00:20:09.520 to be proud of being Catholic. This is the church that Christ built to that over 2000 years ago.

00:20:16.420 We're not a church from 400 years ago, like Protestants, or we're not even like 60 years ago, 0.56

00:20:21.060 like non-denominational churches who think they, they know everything. They've only been around for

00:20:25.020 60 years or the Mormons 200 years or Jehovah. When this is our church has been around for 2000 years. 0.99

00:20:31.440 And even our traditions of the rosary, you know, just the rosary was given before any of the other

00:20:36.400 churches were even built, or even like, you know, before some man built those churches.

00:20:41.580 And so it's important that we know why we pray it on why there's an intercession of the fates and

00:20:46.600 why we have the communion of the saints and how important their prayers are for us. Because we

00:20:52.000 see that there's a great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12, and they're up there cheering us on.

00:20:57.660 They're like in an arena up there in the Shekinah glory cloud. They're in that cloud in the sky where

00:21:03.300 God dwells. He's been dwelling since the Israelites, protecting them. He's also watching over us with

00:21:09.520 the angels and saints praying for us. They're praying for us in heaven. They're interceding

00:21:14.580 like the elders that are in revelations. They're offering our prayers in gold incense bowls to God.

00:21:23.140 These elders in heaven, those are the saints. They're doing it. But when we understand these

00:21:27.440 doctrines and not just say it or not just ask a saint to pray for us, but we can actually go into

00:21:33.520 scriptures and share, oh man, you know how strong you feel? They're like, whoa, I didn't know that

00:21:38.160 before. You will start making Protestants and all those other denominations capitulate. You'll start 0.80

00:21:45.000 making them back off the more you know your faith. It's more annual, but these are the things I want to

00:21:49.820 encourage people about doing. So once again, Eucharist and Mass, source and summit of our faith,

00:21:55.640 our 60 millimeter, praying the rosary. This side is, remember, the Catholic, the Bible is a Catholic 0.67

00:22:02.360 book. We've been preserving it for 2,000 years. We've been holding on to it through all the oppression,

00:22:08.580 through all, everything we've gone through, through the different emperors that were killing us off,

00:22:13.340 straight genocide on our faith that's been happening for the last 2,000 years. We still held bound to

00:22:18.640 those scriptures and we protected them, put them away. We kept preaching the gospel, even our oral

00:22:23.520 traditions, the Catholic faith, that's within us. We've been passing on before the Bible was even put

00:22:28.560 together. And no, King James wasn't the first Bible. I know a lot of Protestants think that. The Bible's

00:22:34.680 been together for 2,000 years. King James just put it together miraculously. So knowing our faith,

00:22:41.900 knowing the teachings, knowing the historicity of the Catholic church is vital. And you don't got to get

00:22:47.520 all deep into it and all theological. But just to know little points to help you defend it goes a long

00:22:54.520 ways. People will see that you're more than just a ritual Catholic. Or, you know, you're just a Catholic

00:23:00.020 who's been going on from his families, you know, cradle Catholic that's just been going. But you actually

00:23:04.440 love Jesus so much that you want to learn a little bit more about him. Because the more you learn about

00:23:09.920 Jesus, the more you know about the faith, the more you know about your family. And it always feels so good when you

00:23:14.980 know more about your family. It just brings this joy to your heart. It brings joy to God when we learn

00:23:19.620 more about our faith, when we have this hunger to learn more about it. We watch TV, people are on

00:23:25.340 YouTube, Instagram, scrolling, learning all kinds of other stuff like work. But when we actually learn

00:23:30.940 our faith, we're making God happy. It brings joy to his heart when we're in his word. And in his word,

00:23:36.260 he says that we should meditate on it day and night in Psalms 1, so that you can be like that tree

00:23:41.920 that's planted next to a river. That anything that you do, you'll always prosper. It'll always be

00:23:48.600 fruitful. You won't wither up. Why? Because our vines are always in the word. And we know that the

00:23:54.000 living word, not just the Bible, but the living word is Jesus. And he's given us the word so that

00:23:58.900 we can grow stronger in our faith. And so now this other part of the cross I'll get to is fellowship

00:24:04.440 and ministry is important. And I love you women out there. Most of the women serving in the churches

00:24:10.760 out there are so strong and vital, but men also like, it's important that we get together

00:24:15.580 because I noticed that a lot of women have a lot of ministries. I noticed men that we lack in our

00:24:21.560 faith, having these ministries where we get together. Thank God I'm around some really strong

00:24:25.580 men's ministries out here. I'll actually be speaking at a couple of these ministries,

00:24:29.900 be like 200 men together, 200 men after a men's mass at Sacred Heart Chapel in Rancho Cucamonga.

00:24:36.480 I'm going to be the keynote speaker there, June 17th. And then there's another men's breakfast.

00:24:41.000 That's about 125 men at St. Peter and Paul edify each other up. Oh, rise up, man of God. You know,

00:24:49.220 let's, let's rise up, men of God. Let's defend our family. Let's defend our faith. And when we

00:24:54.060 fellowship, we sharpen each other. We build each other up. We edify one another. We speak life into

00:24:59.520 one another. Fellowship and being involved in ministry at church. You can feel like an outcast if you're

00:25:05.600 just sitting in the seats. And I like to say being a pew potato. Like, you know, a lot of people just

00:25:10.940 go and they sit in the pews and they leave. Only 8% of our church actually serves in tithes. Let's get

00:25:16.700 more involved. So this is what I'm going to be speaking at these men masses.

00:25:47.540 Being involved in ministry and fellowship is vital to the growth. And the reason why I'm on fire like

00:25:52.180 this, it's not because of me. It's because I work every day. I work out my salvation every day with

00:25:57.680 fear and trembling. Almost mass every day. Adoration. I forgot to add that up here because

00:26:03.340 that goes with the Eucharist up here. Going to adoration too. I was just there this morning

00:26:07.280 before I prayed, before I came here because I was a little nervous, you know, a little nervous,

00:26:11.640 a little anxious. Just want to make sure that I'm getting Christ across. Not anything else,

00:26:16.320 but the price that he paid on Calvary. Sharing that with. We're the original evangelists. And I hope

00:26:23.240 that people can understand that, like I was telling you earlier, we're the original evangelicals.

00:26:27.680 We preach the gospel. We've been doing it for the last 2,000 years. People talk about people going

00:26:32.200 on missions nowadays. Oh, they're doing this or doing it. And we've been doing it for 2,000 years.

00:26:36.340 Why do you think there's a Catholic church on every corner of the earth? We're the original

00:26:40.520 evangelicals. We're the original Pentecostals. Our birthday's coming up. Hey, you know, the birthday

00:26:47.160 of the church is on the Feast of the Pentecost. You ask Pentecostals. I was at a Pentecostal church

00:26:52.140 one day and I told them happy birthday. And they go, what are you talking about? I'm like, what?

00:26:56.880 They didn't even preach about Pentecost on Pentecost. That is just the weirdest thing in the world. You

00:27:03.980 guys are Pentecostals, but you're not preaching Pentecost on Pentecost? Way out there. And so

00:27:10.640 we're the original Baptists because we've been baptizing. We've been baptizing since the beginning

00:27:15.340 when 3,000 were baptized right there in the book of Acts 2 42. They repented and were baptized for the

00:27:22.520 forgiveness of their sins. We've been doing it for 2,000 years. And so once again, cross-training.

00:27:28.500 I'll be speaking it. I'm also a speaker too, part of Toastmasters International. So praise God. He's

00:27:34.400 given me all these different things so I can go stronger in my faith, learn how to speak, articulate

00:27:39.260 in myself in a way that people can understand. Whether I'm speaking to guys who were homies, 0.69

00:27:44.620 I can bring myself to that level. Whether I'm speaking to intellectual men and women, or whether

00:27:50.240 I'm speaking to having to speak a little softer to older crowds, I learned to become all things

00:27:56.140 to all men, like Paul says, so that we can advance the gospel. There shouldn't be just one way of

00:28:01.460 evangelizing. And so this leads me to like a point I want to talk about real quick. It's like a new

00:28:06.520 evangelization. Like let's start opening the doors for everybody to start preaching. Because after

00:28:12.740 Vatican II, I know sometimes the language and people don't agree with some things, but the layman

00:28:19.020 is supposed to be evangelizing. We don't have a lot of priests, and there are a lot of times our

00:28:24.460 priests are very overloaded. One priest, 2,000 people, sometimes not even a deacon in the church,

00:28:30.920 sometimes only two with like 2,000 or 3,000 people, sometimes more in the parish. We as laymen

00:28:37.100 need to start standing up and evangelizing. And I'm saying evangelizing what Paul said,

00:28:42.400 Christ and him crucified. Sometimes our evangelists out there, they're so into apologetics. They're so

00:28:50.440 into theology that a big reason people are leaving the church is because they're finding it better in

00:28:56.320 Joel Osteen. Because they're finding it better at the non-denominational churches, actually.

00:29:02.560 You know, a lot of them are. They're going, why? Because it's the preaching. Praise God for mass.

00:29:07.740 That's mass. But outside of mass, there has to be something more where we're preaching Christ and

00:29:13.000 him crucified. And they're seeing our excitement. They're seeing our joy. They're seeing the

00:29:17.580 transformation. Because when we go to mass, it's about reverence. It's not about getting excited

00:29:21.920 like that in mass, even though I get excited every time I take the Eucharist. I love it so much.

00:29:27.060 It's not about that in mass. It's about revering God and worshiping God through the sacrifice right

00:29:32.780 there. But outside of that, what do we do? How do we get people to get more engaged? That's why

00:29:37.520 I came up with the cross training. So I want to engage with people who are leaving the faith or

00:29:42.960 with non-Catholic, non-Christians that are not, I mean, non-Catholic Christians and sharing with

00:29:48.640 them that the Holy Spirit's here. We evangelize. We preach the gospel. We've been doing it for 2,000

00:29:53.840 years with that encouragement and love using scriptures to back up everything that we say.

00:29:59.060 And so it's a big part of who I am. I'll actually be speaking at a little event that's non-Catholic

00:30:04.940 on Sunday. I am going to, and I'm going to be sharing a little bit of the faith there.

00:30:09.500 And I told them, if you guys want me to speak there, you guys want me to speak. I'm sharing

00:30:14.020 the Catholic church of 2,000 years of history. I won't go into all the doctrines. I'll read

00:30:18.540 right from scriptures, but I have to let people know that I'm Catholic. You guys are asking me

00:30:23.200 to come here to this event at this park. I have to let them know. If not, I'm not going

00:30:27.360 to go speak there, but I have to let people know that the church is here because a lot of people

00:30:31.360 say, man, I've never seen a Catholic like you, or it's a rarity that I see Catholics 1.00

00:30:35.520 like you. I say, no, there's a lot of Catholics like me. We're just in the woodworks. They're

00:30:40.060 building up this remnant coming out, and we're going to start coming out. We're going

00:30:43.720 to start preaching the gospel. We're going to start sharing the faith because there's

00:30:47.540 so many things that are going wrong in the world. I think it's time that another, because

00:30:52.000 everybody has their own ministry. We're all the body of the Catholic church. We're all

00:30:55.560 the body of Christ. But I think there needs to come more meaning to start coming out and

00:31:00.100 evangelizing and sharing the scriptures, the way the non-denominational churches do 0.99

00:31:04.280 it. It's because that's what's pulling people. That's what's pulling people towards their

00:31:09.320 churches. That's why I call myself a trans-matic. Yeah, so do you know what that means?

00:31:15.260 Sort of a charismatic, traditional Catholic.

00:31:19.020 Yeah, so awesome. Yeah, I'm a trans-matic all the way. I'm a traditionalist. I go to a Latin

00:31:25.340 Mass weekly at San Secundo de Asti with Father James Lane out in Ontario, California. They

00:31:33.500 have a ministry called Lucio Missio that I'll be speaking at at the end of the month. And

00:31:38.700 I love it. I love the reverence. I love the adoration and reverence of God. I love the

00:31:44.240 traditionalists. They hold the Mass that I believe was being held. It may not be the same

00:31:48.440 form. I'm not going to say it's the same form, okay? Because it's evolved over time. But in

00:31:53.140 the catacombs, when we were hiding out from Nero and Domitian, those emperors that were

00:31:59.120 persecuting our church, I believe that the Latin Mass was the Mass that was being held

00:32:04.600 in the catacombs. So that's why I started going to the Latin Mass again all the way. The silence,

00:32:11.820 the way the priest speaks, he faces, what is it called?

00:32:15.760 Ad orientem.

00:32:17.180 Yeah, and so he faces towards the altar because he's focusing on God. It's not a focus on us.

00:32:23.260 Sometimes I go to a Latin Mass that's 1955, and sometimes I go to the Latin Mass that's 1962.

00:32:29.960 So there's those two different ones that I've learned about since I've now been attending them.

00:32:34.940 So sometimes we contribute a little bit with the choir and stuff like that. And sometimes it's all

00:32:39.800 about the altar servers and the priest standing in place of us being the audience back behind them.

00:32:46.660 And so I just, I love it. I love the homilies that come afterwards. For some reason, in the

00:32:52.080 traditional Masses, they don't hold up. There's not a time frame. They're not like, hey, we got 10

00:32:57.440 minutes for this homily. No, the homilies are like 30 minutes, 35, 40 minutes, and they're preaching

00:33:04.520 fire. Every single time I go, it is fire inside of there. So for the traditional Latin Mass, 1.00

00:33:11.280 there's a lot of respect and love that I have from it, especially because it's a part

00:33:15.860 of the, I want to say, correct me if I'm wrong, but I like saying it's a part of the

00:33:19.980 Apostolic Succession. It's been passed on, the Latin Mass, from generation to generation, 0.99

00:33:25.140 not just with the Pope and the Apostles and the Bishops being passed on and the priests

00:33:29.000 over the time, but that Mass has been passed on over time. Even though Counselor Trent has

00:33:34.700 now configured it to be what we see pretty much today, it's been passed on over the years.

00:33:39.460 It's been something we've been held, we can hold on to, whether you're in China, whether

00:33:44.280 you're in Japan, whether you're in Africa, whether you're in America, England, South

00:33:49.660 America, the Latin Mass always like kept us together. And so that is one thing I totally 0.99

00:33:54.860 respect and I honor about it, but I notice sometimes men and women in the Latin Mass can

00:34:02.880 be kind of awkward. And no disrespect to nobody out there, please. I don't want to

00:34:07.300 disrespect, but not very full of zeal, not on fire, like praise God, you know, like

00:34:12.620 after Mass, not in Mass, because that's worshiping, that's all about God, but

00:34:16.420 afterwards. And they lack a few things that I believe, that's why I'm a

00:34:21.080 charismatic, because I'm also part of a charismatic movement that's called El

00:34:25.000 Sembrador. It's called, they're charismatic. You should look them up, they're

00:34:29.940 really big too. They have big events where like last, what was it, like three months

00:34:34.040 ago, there was 8,000 women at the LA Convention Center. 8,000 women for three 1.00

00:34:39.660 days or for two days, for a weekend, worshiping and loving God. And a lot of

00:34:44.760 times, even though they're charismatic, if we're inside, like say, for instance, we

00:34:47.980 hold an event inside of a parish, most of the women are veiled up. So even though

00:34:53.080 these are charismatic, these women hold a lot of traditional roots. They still

00:34:58.020 hardcore into praying the rosaries, understanding the order of the church. It's

00:35:04.720 not really like it's different, but one thing I will say about the charismatic

00:35:07.720 movement that I enjoy about it is fellowship. I think it's important for us

00:35:14.940 to fellowship and speak life into one another. Like it says in Hebrews 10, 25,

00:35:19.520 do not forsake the gathering of the brethren, and not just in Mass, because we

00:35:23.360 needed to edify and build each other up. But we can't edify and build each other up if

00:35:27.200 we're just meeting in Mass, because Mass is about adoration and worship of God.

00:35:31.380 It's not about talking with our brothers and sisters inside of Mass. That's what

00:35:35.920 I adore about. And I go to a ministry every Friday night in Azusa, California,

00:35:39.980 where I'm actually part of the praise team. So I go up on stage and we sing

00:35:43.560 contemporary Christian songs, hymns, various different songs. Sometimes they'll

00:35:47.820 do a Gregorian chanter and Ave Maria, which is really nice. My leader is a really

00:35:52.540 great singer. And so we have testimony. Well, first we'll sing praise

00:35:57.020 music. This is a fellowship. This isn't Mass. This is a fellowship. We'll have

00:36:01.060 praise music. We'll sing a couple of praise songs. And then we'll go, somebody

00:36:04.440 will give a testimony of what God's doing in their life, how he's been

00:36:08.180 transforming their life and how he's moved in them, you know, and to see where

00:36:12.100 they're at today. After that, we'll get to have a guest preacher. I'll actually be

00:36:16.160 preaching there on my fellowship on June 23rd. And God's opening doors big time

00:36:22.920 for me. I thank him so much. I've been patient the last three years. Been really

00:36:26.640 patient with a lot of doors being closed on me. A lot of love. Don't get that

00:36:30.300 wrong. But I had to work my spot into there. Just like St. Paul. St. Paul, he

00:36:34.840 just wasn't giving to him there. He was three years in the desert. And then he had

00:36:38.160 to work after that because nobody wanted to trust who he was. So he kept on going

00:36:41.840 from place to place. That's kind of like how I am. I'm in San Bernardino, but I'm in

00:36:46.520 Orange County. I'm in Los Angeles. I'm in San Diego. I'm at all these

00:36:50.900 different parishes sharing the faith, even though I have my home. And so with the

00:36:55.820 charismatics also, we have preaching and then we'll have prayer afterwards. So we

00:37:00.480 have a guest preacher and then we'll pray with each other afterwards. We'll all

00:37:03.840 stand up and we'll get together and we'll pray together. You know, it's really

00:37:07.920 this like love of evangelization. They're big on evangelizing because we have a

00:37:13.020 ministry right now called I am the 73. And I am the 73 is, you know, while D has

00:37:18.940 created it, it's one thing to be a part of a ministry, which is the sower, El

00:37:22.660 Sembrador. It's E-S-N-E, which is the new, the sower, new evangelization. So El 0.97

00:37:30.240 Sembrador Nuevo Evangelization. So the new evangelization, it's actually where we

00:37:36.940 have support from the Pope. So, you know, Pope Francis, Papa Francis, he actually

00:37:41.480 supports us. He's actually, they've gone, Noel Diaz has gone to the Vatican

00:37:45.620 multiple times. And even when Pope Benedict and Pope St. John Paul II were

00:37:50.640 around, they both blessed this ministry. So it's not just a ministry that they

00:37:55.740 did. It's been around for about 30 years now, 39 years. So Noel Diaz has built it

00:38:01.140 up from the ground up and they have huge major events, mainly Spanish, but the

00:38:05.820 English has been starting to grow over the last 15 years. But they have that 0.99

00:38:09.960 evangelization, wanting to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. It's

00:38:14.420 important because I love the Latin, the traditionalists, but the traditionalists

00:38:18.280 are so much on reprimanding everybody else that they forget that we got to

00:38:23.080 preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's a, you know, we got to, we got to show

00:38:27.580 love. That's what Jesus did. Yeah, we reprimand. We have to. It's a part of, we

00:38:32.020 have to tell our brothers and sisters to turn away from sin. But at the same time,

00:38:36.580 Jesus didn't change hearts by hating them or by always picking on them. I believe

00:38:42.160 that. And then also at the same time with the charismatic, I believe there's

00:38:45.740 some things that maybe I don't totally agree with. Just like with the new mass,

00:38:50.020 I go to new mass too. And I love it because it's the Eucharist I go for, even

00:38:55.380 though I believe there should be some more reverence, kind of like holding up the

00:38:58.960 hands like this during the, our father. I don't agree with that because a priest is

00:39:02.620 doing that. And the reason why he's holding his hands up like this, because he's in

00:39:06.000 persona Christi and he's representing Jesus Christ on the cross when he holds his

00:39:11.020 hands up like this. That's why he does it. Or always genuflecting before you go in

00:39:15.120 your seats. Every time you hear the name of Jesus, bowing because every knee shall 0.65

00:39:19.720 bow before the name of Jesus. But we do it quick like this. Every time you hear

00:39:23.600 Jesus' name in the profession of the creed, the gloria, even because I'm a reader,

00:39:28.720 I'm a proclaimer of God's word. They say lector, but I know that's not the

00:39:32.240 correct word. Only a deacon and a priest can be a lector. So I'm a reader of God's

00:39:36.480 word. But even when I'm reading this last Sunday, I bow when I hear Jesus Christ's

00:39:41.200 name, you know, every time I know, like when we're just having a conversation, we

00:39:44.440 say Jesus name, you would be odd if I go like this every time. So I don't do it

00:39:49.300 every time. But when I'm in mass, I make sure that it's a part of who I am.

00:39:52.640 Those, those things they can learn from wearing the veil, even though you don't 1.00

00:39:58.180 have to, God, you're not going to go to hell if you don't wear a veil. But the Bible 0.89

00:40:01.640 tells women to wear a veil when they go in the church. So I believe that the new 1.00

00:40:05.680 mass and the old mass, the Latin mass, charismatics and traditionalists, we can

00:40:14.040 all learn a lot from one another. Why? It's like going to a reunion. Because I

00:40:19.040 know, I know charismatics that won't go or the new mass, people who go to new

00:40:24.240 mass that won't go to Latin mass. I know for sure traditionalists, it's a, you have

00:40:28.020 to drag them by the neck for them to go to the new mass. It's the Eucharist. 0.86

00:40:33.120 That's what it's about. In the end, it's all been said it's okay. And we're like a

00:40:37.660 family. So it's like going to a family reunion. I was saying, when you go to a

00:40:41.220 family reunion, you hang out with certain cliques of the family, you know, like

00:40:44.700 this is my family. These are my cousins or, and then the other family members are

00:40:48.700 over there, but they're still a part of the same reunion. We're still a part of the

00:40:53.280 same family. And we're still, we still love one another. And we shouldn't act

00:40:58.000 like I'm a traditionalist. And, and Vatican, please leave the traditionalists

00:41:03.460 alone. I love the Vatican. I love Pope Francis, but please leave the Latin mass

00:41:07.700 alone. Let it be. We have a lot of rights within our church. And, but when we start

00:41:12.640 seeing each other as a family, because we're not Protestant, so it's not like,

00:41:16.700 okay, this is the Latin mass and charismatics are Protestant. No, we're all

00:41:19.860 Catholics. We all follow the same teachings. We all follow the same

00:41:24.180 sacraments. We all follow the same Eucharist. We all follow the same

00:41:28.300 sacrifice of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for us. Veneration of the saints,

00:41:33.520 veneration of Mama Mary, you know, that hyperdulia, not just veneration, but that 0.62

00:41:38.300 hyperdulia, that highest honor of, of veneration that we give her. When we start

00:41:43.660 seeing each other in that aspect that we're families, we can grow because we have a

00:41:47.140 bigger enemy, y'all. We have the devil that doesn't want to see us happy. When we

00:41:52.420 are divided, we cannot stand tall together. And so that's why I call myself a

00:41:56.760 transmatic because I'm at both. Why? Because my goal in the end is to try, if I

00:42:01.800 can be just a little part of it, that starts bringing us back together as a

00:42:05.560 family. Let us not look at the things that we disagree on, but let's, let us look

00:42:10.360 at all the millions of things that we do agree on. If we got a scale right here, and I

00:42:16.020 put the things that traditionalists and charismatics or the new mass and the

00:42:20.660 Latin mass, the different, like things we agree on is this side. Things we don't 1.00

00:42:25.660 agree on on this side, this is a scale. It would be like this, like this arm would

00:42:29.480 be like this scale would be way up here. And this, this side that we don't agree

00:42:33.800 on would literally be on the ground. And it's for the love of Jesus Christ that he

00:42:37.940 founded on Peter, Matthew 16, 18, you are Peter, you are key, you are key for us. And on

00:42:43.360 this key for us, I shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. You

00:42:46.860 know, he gave him the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever he bound on earth shall

00:42:50.300 be bound in heaven. Whatever he loose on earth, you got control of it. It's going to

00:42:54.360 be loose in heaven, brother. Pretty much Jesus was telling him. He gave him this full

00:42:58.680 authority and we're all a part of this body. And I just, I want us to start seeing more

00:43:04.400 of a love in our church because we're already combating against the

00:43:07.840 transgenderism, uh, against the, the pro-choice movement, all the ideologies, the, the say,

00:43:14.500 those fake Satan comms, come on, get real. It's so, so stupid, man. Sorry. Excuse me 1.00

00:43:19.900 right there, but it's just so stupid. The same cons saying doesn't love them, man. Like 1.00

00:43:24.300 it's ridiculous to even think about that. But when we start coming together in love and

00:43:29.040 seeing that, that we're all blood, we're all have the same blood. We all have the same

00:43:34.960 blood. We all have the same blood. It's the blood of Jesus Christ that runs through

00:43:40.060 our souls. And so that's where I'm, I'm really big on that. That's why I say I'm

00:43:44.440 traumatic. I want to bring us together more unity than just so much disunity. God's

00:43:49.620 good. He is indeed. And Eric, he's put a fire in your soul and, uh, you've been able

00:43:55.200 to share that with us and, uh, God willing affect a lot of us, infect a lot of us with

00:44:01.460 that same fire so that we too might go out and proclaim the word of the Lord. Where

00:44:06.420 can people find out, uh, and keep ahold of you?

00:44:09.560 Subscribe and, um, any feedback you have traditional it's at YouTube, traditional urban

00:44:16.360 Christian. So traditional urban Christian on YouTube. I put out a lot of shorts right

00:44:22.020 now. Plus, as you guys can see, I'm in the studios at Virgin most powerful radio. So

00:44:28.300 eventually, and I'm hoping in time after this, they think this is really big. They actually

00:44:32.360 called me to their studios because I come and film here. I do a lot of my shorts and

00:44:36.800 interviews that I've been doing lately. Like Alex, I got to give props out right now. Alejandro

00:44:42.420 Rodriguez is my brother. He's my friend. He's someone who's just, he's taken a part of my

00:44:49.600 heart that that's why you guys were able to hear about what God's doing in my life. You

00:44:55.820 know, I didn't expect him to do that, but Alejandro, I know you're going to be seeing

00:44:59.300 this. I love you, bro. He's an amazing individual. So I just wanted to make sure I brought him

00:45:04.300 up because if, if it wasn't for God's grace and Alejandro being my friend and sharing this

00:45:08.700 with you, cause he's your, he's your intern out here on the West coast. He does the editing

00:45:12.500 and stuff. Amazing young man on fire. That's I'll be speaking at his, um, his group on the

00:45:19.160 27th, the Lucio Missio, the traditional church out there at San Segundo. He's given me that

00:45:24.780 opportunity to share this zeal and this fire and what God's doing in my life. So once again,

00:45:30.000 if anybody wants to, um, subscribe or check out my channel, it's traditional urban Christian.

00:45:35.660 I'm sharing the faith in there. Anything I talk about, it's from scripture. Later on,

00:45:41.220 I'll go into more apologetics, but like I talk about mama Mary being the new Eve mama,

00:45:46.460 Mary being the new arc of the covenant. And I break it down in scriptures. And I do a lot

00:45:50.400 of shorts every day. Like today was bless the Lord of my soul, you know, and just talking

00:45:55.280 about his mercy and graces from Psalms 103, his mercy and graces that bestow upon all of us,

00:46:00.980 the different parables of Jesus, just sharing the faith in God's love. And if you guys have any
