"When you look at the gospels," Fr. James Martin says in the film, "you see that Jesus reached out specifically to people who are on the margins."

"And so, I think if Jesus were here today, in the flesh, on earth, he would be going first to LGBT people. For Jesus, there is no us and them. There's just us," Martin stresses.

Ask Youtube, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden why this video should remain available but the one about Mohammed that was wrongly blamed as the cause of the 9-11-2012 Benghazi terrorist attack is not.

The crucial factor that drew the man-God Jesus to his brother like a magnet was the inflection point—someone who could go one way or the other depending on the timing and direction of the “nudge”. A prodigious sinner, the proverbial “lost sheep”, finally revolted by the mire in which they had so willingly flung themselves, primed for spiritual redirection. An honest thinker who has debunked empty narrative after empty narrative they’ve been fed for years is starting to realize that the true path to personal salvation has nothing to do with individual intellectual achievement but only appears to those who have developed a childlike faith. A proud man has been doggedly pursuing praise and honors from his fellow man only to realize that all that effort has left him an empty shell. Fr. James Martin S.J. is behaving like a hireling, or, worse, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Increasingly, he can be counted upon to push these vulnerable seekers in the exact wrong direction. Who hears the voice of the true shepherd when he weighs in on this or that issue? His is a broken (analog) clock theology. Does he care about salvation of souls or justifying his friends in perpetual sin?

Ye, and Jesus’ command to all of those people was to repent.
