I had the same reaction. Even his opening prayer reminds me of the way Protestants start their speeches.
It's an emotional Faith for the modernists. They have to feel loved. Emotions are so important to them.
Suffering is horrible for them. I found the whole video mushy and without meaningful advice.
I agree. It seems an emotional approach.
Fr. Kilcawley says in one of the videos that he was raised in a disfunctional family, and that his father was an alcoholic, and his mother died when he was two years old, from cancer. He also says that he lived a sinful life when he was young. I have to imagine that with that background, he never felt loved, and that's why it's the "Jesus loves you" is so important to him. He seems to have the idea that the only answer to ones' "woundedness" is to realize that Jesus loves us. I get that, but it isn't enough.
I have sympathy for his situation, but at some point, it seems to me, one has to move beyond one's personal suffering (with all of its attending emotional issues) and focus on God - the Holy Trinity. He doesn't appear to address that at all.
