- A presentation by Dr Robert Haddad to the youth of St Joseph's Maronite Parish, Croydon, on the importance of knowing the writings of the early Church Fathers to better understand Scripture and the development of doctrine.
Fantastic this is what we have to keep in our hearts to know the sources of our faith
wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -Ignatius 107 AD
I literally stood up and clapped!!!
Thanks. God bless.
This is very educational most especially for the Protestants. See how Robert effectively walks us through the origins of our Catholic faith and how the early Church Fathers bring light to the very core of early Christian beliefs. This is the problem when one separates too quickly from one's original family. No matter how morally flawed some Catholics had become in the past because of human free will, their moral excellence isn't the sole basis in finding the truth of things. Any observing credulous christian would naturally get confused and be readily convinced by the Protestants' aggressive plausible arguments. Good thing Robert Haddad along with the Church Fathers are here to remind us again of our true Christian Catholic roots. This is one great and enlightening presentation.
It's a shame that this video has such few views. 😔
I never was Catholic but I'm coming around to it, I grew up in a Baptist church and eventually went to a Methodist church I never got baptized into either one and I think its becoming more and more clear why as I learn more about the history of the church. I stopped going to church due to the confusion, which came from the lack of real church history, a lot of what I knew came from the middle ages which gave a good light to Protestantism but a very dark light to Catholicism and that's as far as my history went because the people I listened to didn't talk about the first, second or third century church fathers. Now I'm starting to see and understand the full history of the church that Jesus trusted Peter with which is why Peter is the rock the church is built upon.
dear Justin, wonderful to hear from you.
As your next step to understanding the early Church read the writings of your namesake St Justin Martyr, First Apology, chapters 66 onwards, what he says about the Eucharist and the Liturgy. Very Catholic. God bless. Robert
@@roberthaddad7850 Thank you very much for your reply and I will most definitely keep looking into this history to even more so put a stamp on my faith and increase it more. Learning the little that I have over the past couple of months has really been a blessing for me and has put a lot of things about the church into perspective. God bless and I look forward to listening to more of what you are teaching.
