What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 137

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 You, Me and The Movies React To Lone Wolf McQuade – It has been a few months since the movie legend Chuck Norris passed away at age 86. He left behind a legacy of action movies and even played Bruce Lee’s tough opponent in The Way of the Dragon. Norris also had action movies filmed on location here in my native Philippines. In the 1980s, Norris appeared in a lot movies that involved guns and hard action, and one of his more notable films of the time was 1983’s Lone Wolf McQuade in which he faced off with fellow action star David Carradine. Recently, You, Me and the Movies posted their reaction video of Lone Wolf McQuade and it is entertaining to watch. I urge you to watch it now.

#2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Invasion U.S.A. Video – Still focused on the late Chuck Norris, his 1985 action movie Invasion U.S.A. was not merely made to entertain moviegoers with lots of explosions, dangerous stunts and hard action. Norris read an article in Reader’s Digest about the presence of hundreds of terrorists running loose in the United States which impacted him as he care about his country and his fellow Americans. This eventually led to the making of Invasion U.S.A. which succeeded commercially as it spread awareness to the American people as to how they can defend themselves in the event foreign terrorists invade their country. Today, Islamic terrorism as well as the entrance of Islamo-Leftist foreigners into America made this 1985 more socially relevant. The story behind the production of Invasion U.S.A. is pretty fascinating, and you can learn more about by watch Minty Comedic Arts’ video below.

#3 Signature Bowls of Happiness in Japan – Do you eat meals served in bowls often? Meals in bowls are common in Japan where rice and noodles are eaten by people daily. Among the many food joints in Japan that offer meals in bowls to customers are a few standouts visited by Nippon TV. What they discovered are very enticing, attractive and delicious to look at. Watch and learn from their video below.

#4 Ranting For Vengeance Slams CBR And Others Who Hate 1980s Anime – I grew up watching lots of anime shows and feature films early in life and the 1980s is a memorable decade. It was during the 1980s when I saw anime productions from the 1970s and the newest ones of the decade. To name some, I saw the 1980s Astro Boy series, Galaxy Express 999, Captain Future, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Voltes V, Daimos, Mazinger Z and others. While such old anime productions proved to be entertaining, there are still some people out there who bashed them because those productions (and their stories) did not align with their modern day woke agenda. The popular geek entertainment portal CBR published lots of articles saying that the old anime productions did not age well and a lot of readers and netizens followed suit. As such, Ranting for Vengeance slammed them and stood up for 1980s anime backed with detailed explanations. If you are a true fan of anime, watch the video below.

#5 Western Women Who Embraced Islam End Up Wrong – Did you notice that there is a growing number of women in the West who embraced Islam believing the fantasies that it is a religion of peace and is feminist? Indeed, there are these modern-day feminists who considered themselves Islamic without even fully knowing what Islam truly is, why Sharia Law is wicked and what was recorded in the Quran. SaharTV posted several videos about these newcomers to Islam (including one new Muslim woman who was Catholic) who ended up being very wrong and embarrassed. Watch the SaharTV videos below.

#6 The Significance Of Spider-Man 2099 Explained – In late 1992, Marvel Comics launched Spider-Man 2099 #1 which also marked the start of their 2099 franchise of comic books. Under the direction of writer Peter David with artworks done mainly by Rick Leonardi, the futuristic Spider-Man really stood out differently from the classic Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and his own place under Marvel Comics’ banner was established well. Spider-Man 2099 is clearly the most popular of all the Marvel 2099 titles. That said, I found this YouTube video that examines the significance of Spider-Man of 2099. I encourage you to watch it.

#7 Ashleigh Burton’s Reaction To Witness – The 1980s will always be a memorable decade of Harrison Ford’s cinematic performances. During that decade, he appeared in two Star Wars movies and he was the center of attraction in the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Along the way, he appeared in the 1985 crime thriller film Witness in which he played a police detective protecting an Amish woman and her son. The movie earned several Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and even Best Actor for Harrison Ford. Lately, Ashleigh Burton posted her reaction video of Witness and I encourage you to watch it.

Book Review: Boston Catholics

Author: Thomas H. O’Connor
Title: Boston Catholics : A History of the Church and its People
Publication Info: Boston : Northeastern University Press, c1998.
Other Books Read By the Same Author:

• The Boston Irish: A Political History
• Eminent Bostonians

Summary/Review:

Boston Catholics is a history of the church in Boston from colonial times to the end of the 20th century.  It offers an interesting overview of how Catholics grew from a persecuted minority to the dominant faith in the city.  The early parts of this book were particularly interesting with the official creation of a diocese after the Revolution under the leadership of French bishop Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus.  It was interesting to learn that while Puritan Boston persecuted Catholics in colonial Boston and nativist violence against Catholics rose in the mid-1800s, there was actually a period in-between when the French clergy ingratiated themselves with Yankee Protestants and enjoyed greater tolerance.  Albeit, this was when the number of Catholics in Boston was quite small, but soon would swell with the immigration of Irish Americans who took control of the diocese from the French Americans.

While I found the book an interesting and well-written survey of Catholic history in Boston, there were a few things that troubled me.  First, O’Connor structures the book around the bishops/archbishops of Boston and each section of the book focus on their leadership and influence on the church.  While this could be a meta-commentary on the top-down hierarchy of the Church, I would’ve liked to see more about the ordinary Catholics about whom O’Connor only writes in general terms.  Second, while the Irish American domination of the archdiocese is evident, I was surprised at how little O’Connor wrote about Catholics from other backgrounds.  Even Italian Americans only got a few pages of the narrative, while the contemporary emergence of Boston Catholic communities originating from Haiti, Latin America, and Southeast Asia are simply mentioned.  Finally, I feel that O’Connor’s respect and love for the Church made it difficult for him to write from a neutral position as a historian.

Of course, the biggest thing that’s missing from the book is due to the fact that it was published in 1998.  While O’Connor mentions cases of clergy sexual abuse of children, the full extent of the abuse and the Archdiocese’s coverup were not revealed until 2002. The scandal forever damaged the Church in Boston and ordinary Catholics relationships with the Archdiocese and their parishes.  Had the book been written a few years later it would not only be a significant addition to the history, but would also recontexualized much of the history O’Connor wrote about the Church in the 20th century.  Even beyond the sexual abuse crisis, there’s irony near the end of the book when O’Connor praises Cardinal Bernard Law for look to the future by creating Caritas Christi Health Care to manage Catholic hospitals in the city.  Caritas Christi was later sold to private equity and became Steward Health Care System, which due to financial mismanagement went bankrupt in 2024, leading to the oldest Catholic hospital in Boston – Carney Hospital – permanently closing.  It leaves a bitter taste to read O’Connor’s optimistic appraisal of Boston Catholicism knowing what has happened in the ensuing three decades.

I swear, I look up one video on #youtube about #hispanic #Christmas traditions and now every other video on my feed is a long confessional from someone who converted to #Catholicism about why the #Protestant denominations are wrong about the #Eucharist. Why do I continue to click on these videos? Why am I suddenly drawn to the #magisterium and the #apostolic succession and the early Church fathers? Why does YouTube want me to become a #Catholic?

Trump versus The Pope
==================
Ring a Ding Ding!
Two guys from a pedo ring,
fighting & mudslinging.
Both make a living,
from human suffering.
One thinks he is king,
the other, that he has wings.
Watch them come out swinging.
Get popcorn & a seat by the ring.
Hark! The demons sing!

Trump is demolishing a so-called democracy.

The pope sits on a pile of gold looted with genocide from all over the world for centuries, in a private city state in the middle of Rome, and professes poverty, puts on a show of washing the poor people's feet, hides behind bullet-proof glass, protects pedophiles, wears a dress & tells people that being gay is a sin. The pope could issue an edict for all catholics to resign from the armed forces. Will he do that? The pope is a fairy, see?

Telling the Truth is like taking an opium addict's rock of opium away. They react angrily, in pain from withdrawal symptoms. Cognitive Dissonance is painful.

"Help Save Jesus"

One can reach one's higher power through any number of ways. Some are better than others, and history bears witness.

Having a book or a teacher is fine.
Fancy words are Ok.
Yet, the ultimate Truth is in the outcome. Does the religion make people better? Do they make the world better?

With regard to Christianity, there are three types of people:

1. Good Christians
2. Bad Christians
3. Non-Christians

Good Christians ( sheep ) act as the cover for the Bad Christians ( wolves ).

Bad Christians have so much blood on their hands, they killed 2 people, every minute, of every hour, of every day, 24x7, non-stop, for 100 years. And that was just last century.

So good Christians should:

1. stop turning a blind eye to the Bad Christians.
2. stop trying to preach to the Non-Christians.
3. turn to the Bad Christians and talk with them. Get their own house in order, before they dare preach to others, through pamphlets, brochures, media advertising, or door to door proselytizing etc. Jesus is in need of being saved, or the world will learn the Truth of history, and the Christian church, die out within a generation.

Giornata della Terra 2026: l’eredità di Papa Francesco e l’appello a prendersi cura della nostra Casa Comune.
Condividiamo il messaggio del Movimento Laudato Si' per ricordare che non solo la scienza, ma anche la spiritualità ci indica la strada per affrontare la crisi climatica.
L'unica via per cui non ci si arriva, lasciatecelo dire, è il capitalismo .

RE: https://eigenmagic.net/@benno/116433461634399454

one thing about #DaPope that everybody should think upon for a minute:

if he were a carpetbagger or attention whore, he’d lie and say he was a #Dodgers or a #Yankees fan.

but #PopeSouthside won't even ride on the #Cubbies bandwagon.

nope.

he rides and dies for the #WhiteSox.

forget about the #catholicism and vatican stuff. the dude still roots for his home team; who have been underdogs for a long ass while.

you gotta respect that.
