A Catholic rapper named Akalyte perfroming “The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail”. This rap is centered on Matthew 16:18. Interesting use of voice-sampling of Servant of God Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Not exactly the Gregorian chants that I usually prefer, but still pretty good! Rap on, Catholics!

Wow! Profound! I’d rather hear this rap then the Alternative rap of today. Which would you rather listen to? One with the right message? Or? What do you want your children to listen to? One with the right message? WWJD
This was so much fun! It is inspiring and healing to see positive images of the beloved church which the media and popular culture has dragged through the mud. Thank you.
This is VERY powerful! The lyrics, go perfect with the montage of The Holy Father and The Eucharist. I am fired up from it!….The gates of hell shall NOT prevail, because WE ARE ONE in The Eucharist! ONE IN CHRIST in His Body and Blood. Brothers and sisters, I exhort you… Be United in Christ and obedient to the Holy Magisterium of The Church. The gates of hell are a mystical reality, as the words of Fulton Sheen so wisely teach in the beginning of the song. And The Body of Christ shall not be stopped by the gates of hell that hold our brothers and sisters hostage.
