I've been agnostic and having a great deal of doubts for the past years, although raised in a catholic home. Your videos make me wanna come back. I hope there'll come more young priests like you, with open minds and a speech that touches our hearts in a different way.
Who knows Matheus, perhaps that's His plan for you
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “God wants your friendship. And once you enter into friendship with God, everything in your life begins to change. As you come to know him better, you will find you want to reflect something of his infinite goodness in your own life. You become attracted to the practice of virtue. You begin to see greed and selfishness and all the other sins for what they really are, destructive and dangerous tendencies that cause deep suffering and do greater damage, and you want to avoid falling into that trap yourselves. You begin to feel compassion for people in difficulties and you are eager to do something to help them. You want to come to the aid of the poor and the hungry, you want to comfort the sorrowful, you want to be kind and generous. And once these things begin to matter to you, you are well on the way to becoming saints.”
As a Hindu, this was absolutely amazing as an explanation. The love that is being conveyed into my heart is genuine and tangible. You did it really well. Thank you Father, though we are from separate followings, all leads to God.
Awesome! Remember the church is always open to converts! I’ll pray for you. 🇻🇦🙏✝️🙏🇻🇦
I love that you like learning about our faith. I want to point out, on your mention of all paths leading to God. This is what specifically makes us different. In Christianity God came down to be with us, not the other way around. God loves us so much as to leave heaven to dwell among sinners for our salvation
No one goes to the Father except through Jesus. God loves us.
@@bethanyrose2023 Jesus is The Word, the metaphor he is making there is that the word of God is the way, the truth, and the life, and that only such divine word can lead you to the Father.
My friend I will pray for you, I hope that you will do more research ans find that the only way to salvation is through Christ, God loves you, you need only reach out to your local parish and they will help you
This is wonderful. Thank you. My favourite biblical verse is connected with this - "Jesus wept". It shows His humanity, for His friends, and then he raising Lazarus of Bethany from death, hence showing His Divinity.
Fr. Casey. You'll probably never see the comment. But I wanted to thank you for doing what you're doing. Between this channel and Upon Fr Review, my learning and understanding of the Inspired Word has grown by leaps and bounds. I'm a Lutheran (don't hold it against me, lol) and fairly new to walking with Christ, but you have helped make the learning experience fun, even when faced with uncomfortable truths. Christ is King
What happened to upon friar review? I cant seem to find the channel
@@AthanaSusThe other host on that channel is under investigation. The channel is probably closed until the verdict.
@@olivierschraepen5451 Fr. Patrick?? what was the case?
@@AthanaSus Fr. Patrick Tutle. You can look it up.
As far as I know he hasn't been proven guilty or unguilty, so refrain from passing judgement please. But they have taken him from all social media during the investigation.
@@olivierschraepen5451 thank you, i appreciate your discretion. God bless
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy On Me A Sinner.
Amen!
AMEN
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Amen
Im not catholic but i still really enjoy this channel its a great blessing
If you are open to the truth you may find it calling you. May God bless you and guide you.
You dont have to be Catholic to visit a Catholic Church and enjoy a Catholic Mass (just don't receive the Eucharist...and if you are feelling called to want to get in that line and receive the Eucharist, come join us, become Catholic, that's what it's all about!). We're a lot cooler than we're made out to be!
@@JackieDaytona1776 You can go every day if you wish, and whilst you can't take communion you can go up for a blessing, just cross your arms across your chest as you get to the priest.
@@BensWorkshop Ya truth not one of the 500 gods in the world
@@furydeathThere is only one God and one Church.
Father you did a wonderful job in explaining who Jesus Christ is and is endless love and sacrifice for us.
bro's been grinding. Thanks for the high quality videos brother!
The Lord has blest you Fr. Casey with an extraordinary talent of explaining in simple terms what is otherwise complicated. I thank the Lord for using you to make us understand and love our Catholic Faith!
Those are bad analogies PATRICK!!!
Great video.
Modalism revisited, Patrick!
Thank you, Father, thank you.
Awesome!!!! The main difference between Christianity and other religions is that the others teach people how to reach up to the divine whereas Christianity teaches how the Divine reaches down to us!!!
Exactly what Bishop Fulton Sheen said. God bless.
A great video! But I also feel obliged to say “that’s modalism, Patrick!“
Come on, Patrick!
If I could like this comment a hundred times I gladly would.
Come on, Patrick, that’s Partialism!
@@EpicWolverine"And who espouses the heresy of Partialism?"
👍🏻👌 Beautifully said Fr. Casey. Thank you. About time these truths were espoused by the messengers of Jesus Christ our God .
Jesus is not God he is the son of God which means created being
The trinity is false it was never taught by any of the bible authors especially not Jesus and his apostles including the early church fathers
Thank you Father! 🙏🏼
Getting a notification for a new video of yours is like a shot of happiness for me :)
That's dopamine, you're an addict
On the other hand, William Penn, the Quakerr founder of Pennsylvania wrott, "Our likeness to Christ is more important than our notions of Christ" By the way, from its founding in the 1680"s, Catholics were welcome in PA.
Yet despite this Philadelphia has served for generations of a beacon of bigotry and third degree aggravated assault lol
Glad to hear that--I never did before.
I have immense respect for Quakers. They were the first and at the time only denomination was abolitionists against slavery as well and are pacifists
You should do a video on Melchizedek
Thanks for sharing❤God bless you❤
Thank you Father Casey. Greetings from Puerto Rico
This is amazing. Thank you Father

"I and the Father are one.”
John 10:30
"while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,"
Titus 2:13
"God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it."
Acts 2:32
"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,
didn't consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness."
Philippians 2:5-7
"Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
John 20:28
May Lord be with you！
Another absolute banger of a video. Thanks Fr. Casey
Amen
Very Good! ❤
This was simply excellent. Thank you, Father.
On point, as usual 😇
✝thank you for this explanation. I needed this 😊
“Like ice in a frying pan, all water, but existing simultaneously as solid, liquid, and gas”
That’s MODALISM, Patr… Casey!
/s
See my response to this comment elsewhere 🤦♂️
Pardon me, /s is for sarcasm, I was saying it in jest, I know you pointed out that the analogy falls apart
@@killianmiller6107Fr. reacted to that very Lutheran Satire video on his Upon Friar Review channel, I hope he gets the joke
Thank you so much, Fr. Casey. You expressed the mystery of our faith in such a straightforward yet exquisite way. You inspire in me awe and a sense of the enormity and magnificence of God's loving gesture. I really like how you compared the Holy Trinity.
I doubt it will happen but I greatly desire to hear you preach.
I like the ice analogy - best explanation of the Trinity yet
It really is! Since water is a chemical SUBSTANCE, existing in three STATES.
Even if it may be a fine analogy to start with, as reedemed zoomer pointed out, it commits the heresy of modalism. The Point is that since the trinity is not from this World, no analogy can truly capture it.
@@EricJuly-uc1fi God choses how and the extent to which He reveals himself - sometimes we struggle with the notion that He may not have told us everything or different things in different ways to different people
@@EricJuly-uc1fi Yeah, I know. Please, I never heard about modalism: what kind of heresy is it? Someone can explain that to me?
@@Laurelin70 modalism is about the trinity being different states of the Same God. This is explained in redeemed zoomers Video about heresy. But make sure to watch the first video not the second one.
I find the best way to explain the trinity is the Thomistic "Pathos Ethos, Logos" description. The Father (source) is perfect, and knew himself perfectly hence the Son (The word) and sense he knew himself perfectly and knew himself to be perfectly good that gives us the Holy Spirit (God's Love) i probably butchered explaining it but i think this makes sense. (BTW any implications of creation or preceding one another are pure coincidence, all are coeternal)
1:10 That's modalism, Patrick!
Wonderful topics, Father. I have a suggestion to you about the new series “ The Chosen “. It seems to have minimal scripture in it but it shows the life of Jesus and the apostles in a fictional yet very entertaining and endearing way. I’m sure a lot of your followers would appreciate your thoughts on The Chosen. Thank you.
Fr Casey I would LOVE to see you unpack the various "historical Jesus" theories in a video. What do you think about them?
After a long time the intro
Not catholic ether but I do love watching there videos both this one and Upon Fr Review, still wish they went back and revist dogma just to watch and get there take on the talk between the voice and bethany. "Be who you've always been. Just... be this as well, from time to time."
tuttle is never returning to youtube and casey will never undelete the channel
I believe in the Virgin Birth.
I believe Jesus created miracles.
I believe Jesus bore the sin of Humanity so that we could have eternal fellowship with God.
I believe Jesus was resurrected.
I believe Jesus Loves me and sent the Holy Spirit to be my comforter.
Peace!
\o/
Thats modalism patrick!
I've never heard a better breakdown of the Gospel since I was in Sunday School so many moons ago. Good job Casey.
You can just read the Gospels.
@@russellmiles2861 even if you read the gospels it doesn’t mean all your questions have been answered. It’s good to breakdown the word as it will bring understanding and deeper faith
@@beththornton619 I agree ... But reading the Gospels is a start. Very few Christians do. Probably why they imagine Jesus is an historical figure when the Gospels are clear that Jesus is a celestial being. Unless they really believed: among other things, the sun stood still for 3 hours and no one aside from the author of Matthew noticed.
@@russellmiles2861 Phlegon of Tralles noticed, and so did Chinese Historians during the reign of Guang Wu.
@@BKNeifert again, Aplogiticist misrepresentation if not deceit. They did not. The author of Mark, Luke and John did not. St Paul had no awareness of what would have been a more staggering event than a few hundred rising from the dead ... Of the later John and Luke seem unaware.
This is analogous and mythical. We are a story telling culture - just read any news paper.
Every person in the world should watch this video. Thank you, Father Casey, for condensing the entire Christian faith into one UA-cam video.
Commenting to feed the algorithm
Great video for explaining the core tenets of Christianity in a concise manner. And it doesn't delve into Catholic specific theology either, so it's useful across denominational lines as well...
Titus 3:3 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers (many different) lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of GOD our SAVIOR toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us, by the washing of regeneration (washed clean and covered by the blood of CHRIST of all sin by being born again/made alive by the indwelling of the HOLY SPIRIT), and renewing of the HOLY GHOST (restoring/renewing our soul NOT sacrificing CHRIST over and over again in an unbloody sacrifice of the mass); 6 which HE shed on us abundantly through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR; 7 that being justified by HIS GRACE (forgiven of all sins by GOD's free gift of grace through faith), we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
Father Casey, this was nice primer for those who are completely unfamiliar with Jesus. Hopefully, it will lead those who are not acquainted with Christ to want to know him more. What is particularly sad is that many people who identify as Christians are ignorant of these details. To say they are "culturally Christians" gives them too much credit. They are like the naive kid who wears a Che Guevara T-Shirt, because they think it looks cool, without knowing anything about the man, his deeds, or his crimes.
Should’ve used the shroud

has been proven to be fake several times already . just like the spear
it's funny, the absolute best way i've heard the trinity explained is that Jesus is God's "human-sona" it sounds ridiculous but it made me understand it perfectly.
Everything God wanted me to know he told me through the Bible.
Jesus lived
Amen and He still does.
The Sufis refer to God as "Love-Lover-Beloved."
Fr. Casey: Name Jesus is known in every country in the world
POV: North Korea
north korea has christians
Father, I've Got a question about the Afterlife that I've tried to get a definitive answer to. If we don't to see our family in Heaven, will we be forced to? I don't care to see my family in Heaven or be welcomed by them when it's my time. I'd rather see someone else at the end of that light. So i hope Jesus will understand and allow it because this is something i worry about alot.
Father, a sticking point for some is the belief that He didn’t really exist. Have you made a video about proving the historical Jesus?
The month of may is going to end this month devoted to rosary i was expecting from father a video on mariology
But disappointed it is.
Is there some way to explain the trinity, in a simplfied form, which is not wrong? I have struggled with this for years...
Pls help me understand, when Jesus said, “My God, My God why has thou forsaken me?”, who was he crying out to?
Jesus was referring to the Psalms. I can't recall which one at the moment. He was calling out to the Father at that moment. In that moment is where the sins of all were placed upon Jesus' shoulders and God the Father could not look upon it.
Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called himself "Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 were written: "'You are my witnesses, 'is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even my servant whom I have chosen." Jesus demonstrated that he was a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses Jehovah's.
Father, can two new converts baptize each other, or must we wait for the opportunity to be baptized by a priest(leaving the country, since it is illegal to convert others).
In an emergency circumstance, we believe an atheist can validly baptize an atheist if they intend to do what the church does and perform it right. But apart from danger of death, you should seek the opportunity to be baptized in ordinary manner with a priest. I’ll pray for your situation.
Can you please explain the part people say that catholics worship saints bc im a catholic but i wanna do what God wants Jesus loves us all btw
People (mostly Protestants) say that we worship saints because we pray to them. But it isn’t a good argument, the original definition of the word ”pray” means ”to ask”. So when we pray to the saints, we ask them for their intercession, we ask them to pray for us to God. This is very different to worship offered to God alone.
And yeah, God wants us to ask the saints for intercession.
Did Jesus go to heaven on that same third day or did he do it later? Because in my country we celebrate the ascencion day a few weeks after easter I think.
He went back to heaven on Ascension day.
The ascension is 40 days after the resurrection according to Acts 1:3
I have a question:
Mary is the mother of Jesus and also the Mother of God. There was sufficient theological debate in Ephesus about this matter.
However,
Is Joseph the (adoptive, earthly) Father of Jesus? So, can we say that Saint Joseph is also the Father of God?
I am not trying to be a heretic, it came to me that question.
Holy Mary is the mother of Jesus , Daughter of God the Father,Most holy eternal Virgin bride of Holy Spirit
St Joseph and Holy Mary was Selected for a reason by God himself,So if God gave them that positions we should respect it❤
The interesting thing about calling Mary the mother of God is its christological implication, that the child this woman gave birth to IS God. So in a sense, I may call St Joseph the adoptive father of God. But whereas Mary was the mother of Jesus through generation, Joseph was only a father legally.
This should be interesting :)
Edit: 1:18 I heard that an analogy of Trinity should be avoided because it’s pointless and leads to error because the trinity is out of the world?
What do u think of that Fr Casey
I think the idea is that each of these analogies explains some aspect of how the Trinity works, even if inherently incomplete?
Analogies are, by definition, analogous. They never fully capture the thing we are seeking to describe. They always require qualifiers, as I have added, but they are essential for beginners.
@@BreakingInTheHabit
Thank you :)
We are finite, God is infinite.
We can only speak of God in terms of analogy, etc. We just have to acknowledge that anything we attempt to say of Good will fall short.
Even the term Father requires some qualification.
But it does not mean that we should abandon any attempt - otherwise, how can we communicate to others what we know about God?
They are deep inside the world...
Do one on the holy spirit, i don't get what the hell that is.
The Holy Spirit is indeed kind of confusing. One analogy for the Trinity is how we say “god is love,” but for love to be, there is a lover, a beloved, and the love between them. God the father actively loves, god the son passively is loved, and god the Holy Spirit proceeds forth from this love. The Holy Spirit speaks through prophets for instance. He works in us to affect grace from the father through the son. As I said, confusing, and I agree a video would be good
The 'ice on the pan' is probably not a good way to explain Trinity. I believe that can be misinterpreted as 'modalism'.
All analogies are wrong to some extent. This video is clearly for beginners.
No analogy can verify a logical contradiction.
There is very little that we know about Jesus, compared to some other known figures of the day, e.g., emperors, generals, philosophers, writers, historians, even some administrators like Pontius Pilate and high priests of the Jerusalem Temple like Caiaphas. The first century Rome is pretty well documented. What we know about Jesus is limited to the four Gospels of the New Testament of which only a small portion, not even precisely defined, can be viewed as historically reliable in contrast to accumulated layers of mythology. So, what we can say is that
(1) Jesus grew up in Nazareth.
(2) He must have visited the nearby Greek town of Sepphoris in his youth, where his mother, Mary, came from, and where his father, Joseph, worked as a tecton on rebuilding the town after fire or earthquake or some such calamity (siege?).
(3) At about 30 he became involved with John the Baptizer's movement and possibly with Essenes.
(4) After the death of John the Baptizer he took off on his own and had a small group of followers.
(5) Eventually he wound up in Jerusalem where he brawled at the Temple and vandalized some stands of "money changers," thus drawing the attention of the Sadducees.
(6) Subsequently he was arrested, accused in front of Pontius Pilate of having called himself "king of the Jews," and crucified.
(7) He was claimed to have risen from the dead three days after he was taken off the cross, for which there are many natural and unnatural explanations.
My personal favourite is that he was taken off the cross after only a few hours while still alive, and recovered in the nearby empty tomb under the administrations of Joseph of Arimathea's physician. I also believe that Joseph of Arimathea might have bribed the Roman soldiers or even Pontius Pilate himself to get Jesus off the cross early, i.e., after a few hours only. Normally it took days of agony for the condemned to die.
That's about all we know. There are some sayings and teachings, quoted in the Gospels, attributed to Jesus that some consider highly likely to be authentically his. From these and other materials, e.g., the Dead Sea Scrolls, Josephus, Talmud, etc., we may infer that Jesus' own message bore some similarity to that of Hillel the Elder and Essenes while being original in terms of delivery and story telling, viz. the parables.
P.S. I really like the Breaking in the Habit videos. The priest is very nice.
Father, why did God give people ability to fantasize? Not dream, but I mean fantasy/imagination.
Is your habit itchy?
they have several
How is Jesus a descendant of David? Mary was a Virgin. Joseph was a descendant of David. Please correct me.
So was Mary.
Father Casey I usually love what you do but the analogy you gave the trinity falls into modalism
It only does if you take an analogy as dogma, which I didn’t do in this video. All analogies bear some truth, but all analogies fail to capture the fullness of God. We need to be careful how we use that word “heresy.”
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply
Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )
Has something happened to the "upon friar review" videos? I can't seem to find them on UA-cam any longer.
father patrick fiasco of....doing immoral things blah blah blah xyz
that channel is done for
although he said some good things regarding god which i still agree with
also that channel was pure gold
Sadly Fr Patrick has been involved in sexual misconduct from a headline I saw and is now kept away from the public under supervision
Oh, no how awful. Thank you for filling me in. At least we can relay and Father Casey not to let the side down.
Those were a lot of non-Trinitarian heresies you described there in the beginning such as Arianism, Partialism, and Modalism.
They’re analogies, not heresies. All language that describes God is as much wrong as it is correct. If you based your entire theology on those analogies that would be problematic, but to say that they reflect a part of the truth is how analogies work.
If you want to know what Christ Actually looks like, you could see any Divine Mercy Painting.
or the millions of bits of Church Art.
just going to say that it's a much less pnshment in hll to be an honest stnist than one pretending to be Catholic.
that's actually quite steep, unforgivable actually.
specifically you are dmnd no matter what with ALL whom you lead astry.
Fyi the Samaritans weren't "enemies of the Jews" they were Jews, in a similar way that Catholics, Protestants, Mormons etc are all Christians. I know that has implications for the meaning of the story, but that's your problem not mine.
I love the depiction of Jesus in your thumbnail. It's probably close to what he actually looked like, a 1st century Levantine Jew as opposed to a Caucasian human male
There is a possibility he was a legendary figure.
No there is not really. Even secular scolars know he was a real Person. As the Channel imbeggar said: he is either a lunatic, liar or the son of god.
@@EricJuly-uc1fi unfortunately there is not sufficient evidence to verify a historical figure.
@@EricJuly-uc1fi Btw. There are scholars who say he wasn't a real person.
@@rick984 And those scholars are in a fringe minority. There is more evidence for Jesus's existence as a human than practically anyone else at that time.
@@micmikeman6865 So what. The argument was there are scholars that claim he existed and I countered that argument.
Hello Fr. Casey, I love your content. Thank you for your UA-cam Apostolate. Would you mind corrected or clarifying something for me?
I was taught that there is a subtle distinction between God the Son and the person of Jesus Christ. That is, God the Son always existed as He is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, fully God, but without a human nature. By contrast, the Person of Jesus Christ is One Person with two natures, fully God, specifically God the Son, and fully human. The Person of Jesus Christ did not exist until the Annunciation.
At the 2:00 mark in your video, you state that "Jesus was never created by God and there was never a time that He did not exist." As I was taught (which I am seeking clarification for), it would read "God the Son was never created by God and there was never a time that He did not exist." And then at about 7:35, you explain that His human nature is something that was created and at one point did not exist. So, I hope you can see how I'm a little confused.
Allow me to be the first to admit that the Mystery of the Incarnation can never be fully understood. Thanks for your time and God bless you!
It’s a good presentation but ahhh you young people…Jesus taught repentance “Go and sin no more” not “Honey I’ve made everything rosey and I’m a really tolerant guy I would never want anyone to be held accountable.” I’m not an authoritarian person but I see nothing in Scripture indicating we have license. Hopefully you didn’t actually imply that.
The outcome of the Flood proved that Noah and his family were the only ones who had the right religion. History shows that Jesus and his disciples were the only ones in their day practicing right religion. And a study of the Bible will prove the same about Jehovah's witnesses today.
That's modalism, Patrick!
Analogies are analogous. They are like the thing we are describing in one way but not like the thing we are describing in another. It’s like calling God “Father.” Surely you don’t think that’s a heresy?
That video from Lutheran Satire is an abomination. Most Fathers and Scholastics used analogies.
@@BreakingInTheHabit No, it was just a joke referencing that famous "Lutheran Satire" video.
According to the MIT researchers Issac Newton and Muhammad are More famous than Jesus :( .
I would say sveral people are more famous

There is no first hand accounts of Jesus so y’all all lying or guessing
So you just ignore the Bible?

@@BreakingInTheHabit the Bible is not first hand accounts it’s 3rd person speaking all those people have no evidence neither of them existed Paul Peter John Luke none of them where are they graves? Bible was written way after they all died
Priest gives explanation of the Trinity: God is like ice in a frying man… Congratulations, you just described Modalism and like Sabellius are a heretic worthy of excommunication. Oh, but don’t worry, you can just say that’s an “imperfect model” and save yourself. It’s funny though that all we ever get are “imperfect models.” What’s the real explanation then?! Can’t actually explain it?? That’s because the truth is it’s all illogical, made-up b.s.
I don’t think you understand how heresy works. Analogies-all analogies-by definition, are partially correct and partially incorrect. I assume you refer to Jesus as “the Son of God.” Congratulations, by your logic you’re a heretic. God can’t have a son because God is not a physical being. It’s an analogy, something that captures pet of the truth. If you profess it as dogma, that’s a heresy, but using analogous language is part of being human.
Overall, the hubris of your comment concerns me. You clearly don’t know how theology works but you felt a need to accuse a priest of a very serious accusation. Maybe rethink what you’re doing.
@@BreakingInTheHabit well, I don’t think you understand how the Trinity works, otherwise you would have explained it better without having to resort to an imperfect analogy, so, let’s call it even.
I agree I am a heretic by my own logic. I also agree that anyone who tries to apply logic to the concept of the trinity as adopted by the Chalcedonian churches would be a heretic because it doesn’t make sense.
If you can explain it to me without resorting to an appeal to authority fallacy, I’m all ears.
