I always look at these Hollywood actors with skepticism. I'm not saying LaBeouf is not sincere time will tell. The real question is, when will Bobby Barron go from Novus Ordo presbyter to Catholic priest?

I watched about 12 minutes or so, and I actually really enjoy hearing his perspective of the Mass vs the NO rite. Where he notes that with the NO it feels artificial, bureaucratic, and like you're being sold something (Modernism). Yet with the true Mass, it feels genuine. Very good insights on his part, and I can see that his remarks could have a positive impact in regard to more NOrdites looking into the traditional Rite.


I hope he makes it through his first dry period once the sensible consolations wear off, as he seems to be a very emotive guy.

That's wonderful news, especially since he's an ethnic Jєω. Let's pray that he finds his way to the Traditional Catholic Faith. He's already a step in the right direction taking on the role of Padre Pio, as well as this from Minnesota's article above:

I'll add him to my intentions.

Clip from the film, already a bit let down. There's some foul language at the end

Great to hear he converted! I was kind of excited that maybe we would get a good movie but after watching this clip I'm afraid it'll be bad. Not just the swearing but the music over communion and the whispering is kind of intense too, maybe it fits well in the movie but looking at it in isolation I don't like that kind of eerie feel over communion.

Wow, this man has more faith and a better sensus Catholicus than Barron.  He was actually beginning to get critical about this artificial imposition of activity in the NOM, and then walked it back, saying he didn't want to get into controversy, which clearly suggests that he does not care at all for the NOM, after Barron started to get effusively enthusiastic about the new "active participation".  Barron has no idea what true "activity" is ... assisting in your will and your mind.

He says he was deeply effected by the Traditional Mass -- while the NO did nothing for him.  How many conversions used to happen for no other reason than witnessing an actual Catholic Mass.  Meanwhile you have Barron almost trying to undermine the man's correct Catholic sensibilities.

Of course, with Barron, he might even have told him not to convert in the first place.

This speaks VOLUMES, when a neophyte convert has more faith than a high-profile "Catholic" "bishop".

It definitely seems Providential that he took on that Pio role, given he's able to intuit all of that by just looking at the sensible aspects of the Mass vs the counterfeit

If it was, then he will find and convert to the true Catholic Faith.  

He even favours priestly action over the so-called "active participation"

The talk between Shia and Barron is one of complete opposites; it was comical.  Shia is an emotional, raw, actor-feeler, millennial person.  Barron is an intellectual, theoretical, out-of-touch, boomer.

Shia described the TLM as real, authentic, sacred and personal.  Barron kept defending the new mass as some great experiment that "provided community" and "participation" (not yet realizing that the younger generations completely reject it for its fakeness).  Shia's "used car salesman" analogy meant to explain the fakery.

So, what is it you believe he has converted to?  Sounds to me as if the man has the Catholic Faith, and I would presume that he does unless and until he demonstrates otherwise.  If you're implying that it is not possible for someone who's materially attached to the NO to have the Catholic Faith, then I have to disagree.  It is possible for people in the Conciliar Church to formally possess the Catholic faith even if they are in material error.

So far it sounds like he is drawn to the Latin Mass.  If he believes Vatican II is Catholic, then he has not converted to the Catholic Faith.  Other than his being drawn to the Latin Mass, he's no more converted than I was when I converted to the Novus Ordo church.

Remember, the Crisis is not just about the Liturgy.  Did the interview above go into Vatican II at all?
