No one is a former Catholic, you are either practicing or not. Have you not been baptized and once received the Sacraments? Come home to the fullness of truth ❤ I say this with love and as a person who has been there myself and still working it out in my own life. God is good and He wants us to be united in the faith. God bless you all! Praying for all of us.
@@louisvega-oe2sc Jesus founded one Church… and he handed the keys to Peter. God communicated through his prophets in the OT and through His Pope and magisterium in the NT. He waits for you in the Eucharist in His Holy Catholic Church. Come visit Him… you will see. ❤️🔥🙏🏻 🥰
The concept of God standing outside of Time and seeing our history in its entirety and then your advice to pray the Surrender Novena reminds me of Julian of Norwich's message received from God saying, "All will be well ."
That's a good message and true. God is constantly working on saving souls and He wants to do it with us while He saves our own as well. When we pray it is an act of faith in His Will.
Jesus Christ said never cease to pray. He taught by example that fasting with prayer is most effective against evil. Lk 18:1, 1 Thess 5:17, Mk 9:28, Mt 17:20
It concerns me when Catholics cite private revelations as infallible truths when the Church teaches they are not. Claiming that everyone we pray for will be saved doesn’t seem accurate to me. Remember Jesus wept over Jerusalem because of its impending destruction. Surely if He prayed for their conversion and it by and large didn’t happen that negates your claim. You are absolutely correct in the fact that there are things God will do ONLY IF we pray and or fast and that we don’t EVER change His mind. Protestantism almost always thinks God acts directly on us when most of the time He works in us THROUGH His creation and His people. That’s why they completely misunderstand why we invoke Mary and the Saints. They ALWAYS say go STRAIGHT to God completely missing His will to mediate His grace THROUGH and WITH us. It never occurs to them that He mediated His revelation to us THROUGH prophets and Apostles and other men. Men who wrote Scripture, compiled it, teach it and hand it on to others. God uses US to evangelize and pastors to teach yet they miss ALL of that when insisting God deal with them DIRECTLY. Another example of this error is they think God directly explains the meaning of the Bible to them individually when the thousands of denominations clearly disprove that assumption.
The St Faustina quote he refers to towards the end of the video does not say “everyone we pray for will be saved”. It says “this prayer is always heard and answered”. Two very different statements and in no way scandalous to hold as a truth. It’s quite literally affirming something we already know: God hears every single prayer of ours.
a former catholic is an escapee, not fallen away, but a run away, to Jesus Himself. don't over think it, just pray in faith according to God's will. God doesn't want "Catholics", he wants children, his very own children, born of God, born of the Spirit.
@@credochad no. man created the Catholic church. jesus created one new man, a new creation, the body of christ, the temple of God, dwelling in each member individually, and He alone is Head of all things to the church. "you must be born again". the Catholic church divides the body of christ. all denominations divide what christ has made one. paul taught against denominations which divide the true body of christ. 1 cor. 3. it is carnal, the doctrines of men. many members one body, the kingdom of God, spread across the whole planet. i am beholding to christ, not any denominational church. i do and will continue in the words of jesus and his apostles, which he has made sure that all people have access to. "it is written". the written word is the final authority. read it, digest it, believe it.
@@credochad you should deal with your pope first. how can you defend your church affiliation and put up with a heretic, as head of your denomination, "the one true church". hilarious really. who is going to act?
@windyday8598 The church is one, Protestantism and "orthodoxy" and broken away from Christ. Sola scriptura is an unbiblical completely made up man made tradition. Not one man believed in it until Martin Luther invented it 1500 years after Christ. Every early Christian who we have writings of is catholic, from Ignatius to Irenaeus to Jerome. In fact, the bible couldn't possibly affirm sola scriptura because "scripture" in those days was the old testament, and the new testament wasn't even compiled yet. In Matthew 16:18 it says that the church will never die. If the church ever needed restoration, then you are calling God a liar, which is blasphemy.

A shame, that catholics preach their religion, (as though it was a fire sale) and not preach the true gospel of salvation! Religion does not save, but Jesus Christ does, Acts 4:12!
@louisvega protestants always protest against the catholic church of our Lord Jesus Christ which He build only one church with the authority of His heavenly Father through His Apostle Simon Peter only, not even through His 11 Apostles. Only Jesus Christ can build the Church because He is the way, the truth and the life and the Church is the body of Christ, that is why we are called christians because Christ is an EMMANUEL which means GOD WITH US, He is always with us in the Holy Blessed Sacrament waiting for all human being to return to Him to believe in Him and to receive Him with our humble hearts in the form of bread, because Christ is the living bread which came down from heaven, he who eats of this bread he will live forever. But thousand of people always protest against the church of Christ, they build thousands of churches and by their own authorities they search the scriptures from the words of God itself, they reject and protest against His Church. But only the words of God and His Church can be saved. Please read carefully and thoroughly these words of our Lord Jesus Christ. LUKE 9:25 - Jesus said "FOR WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES OR FORFEITS HIMSELF" John 5:39-40 - Jesus said "you search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life and it is they that bear witness to Me; yet you refuse to come to Me that you may have life" John 6:51 - "I am the living bread which came down from heaven, if any one eats of this bread he will live forever and the bread which I shall give for thexlife of the world is MY FLESH". JOHN 6:66 - Many of His disciples drew back and no longer went about with Him. John 6:67-68 - Jesus said to His 12 Apostles "DO YOU ALSO WISH TO GO AWAY". 68] Simon Peter answered "LORD TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF?ETERNAL LIFE" Luke 22:31-32 - Jesus prayed for our catholic church which He build with the authority of His heavenly Father through His Apostle Simon Peter "SIMON, SIMON, BEHOLD, SATAN DEMANDED TO HAVE YOU THAT HE MIGHT SIFT YOU LIKE WHEAT, BUT I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU THAT YOUR FAITH MAY NOT FAIL; AND WHEN YOU HAVE TURNED AGAIN STRENGTHEN YOUR BRETHEN". Mark 4:11-12 - Jesus said to His Apostles "to you has been given the secret of the Kingdom of God but for those outside everything is in parables, so that they may indeed see but not perceive and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn again and be forgiven". Mathew 10:22 - Jesus said to His Apostles "and you will be hated by all for My name's sake. BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE SAVED" Mathew 12:30 - "he who is not with Me is against Me and he who does not gather with Me scatters". Mathew 15:13-14 - Jesus said "every plant which My heavenly Father has NOT planted will be rooted up". 14] "Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man both will fall into a pit" Mark 13:5-6 Jesus warned us "take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in My name, saying I am he and they will leads many astray". Mark 13:22-23 - Jesus warned us "FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE AND SHOW SIGNS AND WONDERS TO LEAD ASTRAY, IF POSSIBLE, THE ELECT. BUT TAKE HEED I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THINGS BEFOREHAND". MARK 13:31 - "HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY BUT MY WORD WILL NOT PASS AWAY".
Amen to Acts 4:12! Your conclusion is not right. If religion does not save, why does the Jesus speaking through the Bible tell you to obey the Church elders? Why has God put Your soul under watch by elders? Hebrews 13:17 ESV - 17 *Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account.* Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
@alisterrebelo9013 does that mean that catholics should obey their pope, bishop, and priests, and not be led by the Spirit of God? What does Roman's 8:14, 2corinthians , proverbs 3:5-6: can you be sure to trust your own priest say, not knowing if he's a rapist or a pedophile? Plenty of those out there, catholic or protestant!
@@louisvega-oe2sc Friend, why does your understanding pit scripture against scripture? It is YOU who has to explain why you are COMMANDED to obey Church elders (Hebrews 13:17) and why you believe Jesus didn’t create a religion, because HE MOST CERTAINLY DID. See also 1 Peter 5:5. 1 Peter 5:5 ESV - 5 *Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders.* Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” You could try an explanation that obeys what Jesus and the Holy Spirit are telling you to do in the Scriptures, instead of creating contradictions.
