- Sorry about the spelling error at the end. It should be Cognitive dissonance, not Cognitive dissidence. for some reason my phone brings up dissidence instead of dissonance when I type it out and I didnt catch it. And since I read from a script dissidence is what I said. I looked at trying to edit it but looks like the only way to fix it is to edit the original, delete this video and up load the corrected verson. sorry, but this video has been up for too long for me to do that. So I guess we'll just have to live with it.
No other religious group is lied about like the Catholic Church.
And Anyone who's dealt with Protestants knows that they believe some pretty ridiculous things about Catholics as a result. This can be frustrating since Catholics end up defending the church against the same accusations over and over again.
In this video I will go over a few of the most ridiculous things Protestants believe about Catholics. And give a brief refutation. The purpose is not to give a complete apologetic of each subject. I have videos on my channel giving a more indepth defense on these topics. So those video for a complete analysis.
So let's get into it.
Here are some of the most ridiculous things Protestants believe about Catholics.
"Are you Christian or Catholic?" - commonly heard in the south
Im a ex baptist I love Catholics now and dont believe they are evil.
They couldn’t be any different. Biblical Christianity leads to heaven. Roman Catholicism is sadly leading millions to 🔥
@@AVKingJamesBible really? Then why are protestant countries are decaying with their progressive christianity vs heavily traditional catholic like my country the Philppines are so different
@@AVKingJamesBible The rot is very visible even in the uk they are making God in the image of man, basically bending the teaching to their lusts.
@@AVKingJamesBibleThe Roman Catholic Church is the Church which Christ established "and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it."
I was Protestant from 1972 to 1987. I was Baptized in 1982. Thank God I came into the Catholic Faith in 1987. I still serve Mass today at age 51.
I was recently talking with a street preacher from a non-denominational church. When she found out I'm Catholic, she asked, "You know that you can pray directly to God, right? You don't have to pray to Mary." I responded, "Yeah..."
Man kt pisses me off when they say that
She?
@@athanasiusofalexandria4304 Yeah, a young woman with a pastor I think.
@@Patrick_919 oh. Okay.

Always be prepared to offer an explanation to anyone who asks you to justify the hope that is in you. However, do so with gentleness and respect
So if you are urinating bug spray you really need to see the problem is more you than her!
If you can not defend your belief , where are you getting your belief from?
I’m converting to Catholicism from a Protestant family that believes all these misconceptions. Thank you for this video.
Any issue you wish to discuss? I am a Catholic
@@justthink8952I would ask for prayers because my wife has given me the choice between her and the Church. My extended family is anti-Catholic.. so there’s a lot of people I love that would potentially not want anything to do with me. I am praying that some family would come to the Catholic faith with me.

It's a tough one. Prayer is the best.
But if you get a chance to talk about faith, her objections against Catholic faith should be clarified.
Theological arguments will go back and forth. It could be endless. I'll like to share some points in separate posts. It may be annoying due to lengthy write up.
1. Why we recognise sacred tradition:
Because of oral tradition, we are convinced that what is written in the Bible is true and believable. Otherwise, by reading the Bible on our own it will be difficult to distinguish whether it is the work of fiction or the events actually took place. For us the Church testified generation after generation that the biblical accounts are true. So our faith is transmitted by tradition.
Also, before the New Testament books were written down, the Catholic Church was established. Hence, in principle, the Catholic Church is not depended upon the written books of the New Testament. the Catholic Church could exist with oral tradition of the Apostles just as the early Church had been initially.
Strictly speaking, except the book of Revelation, the other 26 books of the New Testament cannot be termed as scripture because none of the books claim itself to be scripture and the authors too did not claimed their books are scripture. But because the Catholic Church determined that there are no contradiction and these things were taught by the Apostles, these books were declared as inspired.
For a book to be treated as scripture, it should begin with "Thus says the Lord or the Holy Spirit says or God says, God revealed to me ...." But we don't find this in the 26 books. In the middle of the passages, the authors mentioned God's revelations but the book as a whole is not claimed to be inspired. We depended on sacred Catholic tradition for that.
The scripture referred to in the New Testament are that of the Old Testament scripture but protestants apply them as both the Old Testament books as well as the 27 books of the New Testament. They don't realise that no one had received the list of the 26 books as scripture. Besides, no author claimed his letters are scripture. They adopted Catholic Sacred human tradition while condemning the tradition.

2. Objections against having statues and images.
Israelites had the ark of the Covenant Box. It had the image of the cherubims in gold. But this is not considered as breaking God's 10 commandments. Moses also made a bronze serpent and hung it on a pole but this was not breaking God's commandment.
Thus, we can have statues and images so long as we don't treat it as gods or the image of gods.
The cross is definitely an image because it is associated with Christ but no one considered it breaking God's commandment for having it.
Protestants using bread and wine as symbolic of Jesus' body and Jesus' blood is definitely making images. So, according to their own interpretation, they are breaking God's commandment which prohibited making of images.
If they attack having statues and images of Jesus, Mary and the saints then taking bread and wine as images of Jesus' body and blood is a big problem for them to reconcile.
@@justthink8952thank you for this. I truly appreciate all of that. I wholeheartedly agree with all of this.
I try to explain to the best of my understanding to my wife firstly because I wish and hope that she will “ cross the tiber” with me.
She mostly is unreceptive to any explanation so I’m also praying for her heart to soften towards Christ’ true church.
I have faith that I will die as a Catholic but I would love to live as a Catholic family all together. I believe this is Gods will.
It is a lonely journey so far but I can bear it through Gods grace. It is easier to have interior peace even if externally things are seeming to be chaos than to have external peace but be tore up inside from going against my convictions..
Please keep me and my family in your prayers.
God bless you
“The most indubitable sign by which we may distinguish a heretic, a man of bad doctrine, a reprobate, is that he has nothing but contempt and indifference for Our Lady, endeavoring by his words and examples to diminish the veneration and love of her.” - St Louis de Montfort
Jesus said to His disciple from the cross, "This is your mother." Mary said all generations would call her blessed. Protestants have nothing but complete dismissal of these Bible verses, bordering on contempt for Mary. Nothing but "Mary was a sinner!"
So St. Louis said that and now lets here from scripture where Mary is "our lady"?
@@TheGumbyRules Jesus said to His disciple from the cross, "This is your mother."
Yes He certainly did , now please find any verse that tells you that the disciple is not an individual who is to care for the Lord's mother, as her family had deserted her and Jesus , nut somehow the disciple is the world at large?
Mary said all generations would call her blessed.
Yes and Mary was the most blessed woman in history as she brought Jesus into the wold with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Protestants have nothing but complete dismissal of these Bible verses, bordering on contempt for Mary.
I would guess there are some that dismmiss Mary but what is most concerning is the false beliefs about Mary that are put forth by the one of the only churches that proclaims it is the true church!
Mary had no reason to be born without sin as Romans 3:23 refers to her as well.
All writing about Mary the mother of Jesus ends in Acts 1:16
Mary is not the mother of us all.
Mary was not assumed into heaven
Now don't you find it just a bit strange that the children of Mary the mother of Jesus are listed in the gospels of Matthew and Mark but something as fabulous as the Lord's mother being taken before death in the assumption is never mentioned . One is trivial the other miraculous and the trivial is written in scripture?
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 Catholic church: Founded 2,000+ years ago by Jesus. Protestant churches: Didn't arrive for 1,500+ years later. It's all we need to know. Protestants will have to face their own judgment for their complete dismissal, bordering on contempt, of Mary. So Jesus, from the cross nonetheless, telling His disciple that Mary was now his mother is something the rest of us can all ignore? I see...
@@TheGumbyRules Catholic church: Founded 2,000+ years ago by Jesus.
Jesus called His church "My Church" St. Ignatius decided to call it catholic 382 AD in walks the roman Catholic church and proceeds to change beliefs of each church in charge of itself to a central church group.
Protestant churches: Didn't arrive for 1,500+ years later.
Protestant groups aka believers in the Lord who would not bow their knee to Rome ,have been around since the roman church came to power.
Protestants will have to face their own judgment for their complete dismissal, bordering on contempt, of Mary.
believers in Christ do not dismiss Mary the mother of Jesus our savior however as we go by scripture and not by the word of a group that claims authority over the scriptures , we see that mary is indeed the most blessed woman in all of history and we are thankful that she was chosen and raised Christ as the person God wanted Him to be. What we do not find recorded in scripture is all the attributes of Mary that the roman Catholic church supports.
No one is dismissing Mary and no one hates her , that is just what some have been told without proof.
Who are we to focus on ? Heb 12:2 who are we to imitate Jesus or His mother?
Ephesians 5:1-2
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
1 John 2:6
Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Ephesians 5:1
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
1 Peter 2:21
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
Did you notice that Mary is not mentioned ?
So Jesus, from the cross nonetheless, telling His disciple that Mary was now his mother is something the rest of us can all ignore? I see...
No, Jesus from the cross is honoring His surviving parent by providing for her. Not one reference in scripture to indicate that the disciple represents the world .
So where do you get the teaching that the disciple represents the world?
I love being Catholic
@DudeNamedDuncan If it is true, then why do you hate it? And any religion or even just reading the Bible requires you to follow a moral code. That is not limited at all to Catholicism
@@DudeNamedDuncan So you agree that strict moral codes are common in Biblical religions, but you only cited Catholicism. Do you hate Catholics?
@@DudeNamedDuncanJesus started Catholic church
This is so well done. Thank you. Yes we do have to repeat ourselves over and over because they keep spreading the same lies over and over.
They don't listen, basically.
Satan blinds them to hear the truth. Until they ask God to learn the Truth of the Catholic Faith, they will always not listen nor learn the truth, for like I said beforehand, Satan has blinded them. I knew this firsthand when I was a Protestant I didn't see clearly the truth until I asked God to lead me to the truth.
LaoVE this channel!! (The word PRAYTELL! - I never thought of that til he explained the word pray!)
The cross representes death and horrendous tourture until Christ. Without him on it, it just seems hallow like Protestant doctrines
Hollow* hallow means to make something holy, which is not the case
Im a protestant, I used to think catholics worshiped Mary. Thanks for clearing that up!
The key is to always pray for one another. Padre Pio saw Protestants in heaven because of the prayers of the Catholics. Pastor David Wilkerson saw Catholics in heaven in an open vision. I remember hearing his message in a recording. My thoughts is that they were there because of the prayers of other Christians.

I knew a Jehovah's Witness,,that was "catholic" before,, that told me that she left the Catholic Church, because the Bible is NOT read in the Catholic Church. I asked her I don't know what "catholic" church you were going,, but the one I go,,, it is read in all MASSES!.
It’s so sad when you hear ex Catholics say these things
This person never actually went to Mass, obviously.
There’s like 3 or 4 Bible readings in every Mass
My wife is a Jehovah's Witness, she is very stubborn. She says things like "I don't care about your point of authority in Mat16:18, I can see the disunity in the Catholic Church. Jehovah's Witnesses are all united". I tell her that is true but it is by force, as they have the practice of shunning in place. Being united in false teachings doesn't mean much either. I'm not sure what else I can tell her. I send her really good articles from Catholic Answers and she refuses to read them. The JW's trained her to say things like "I don't need to read it, I already have the truth". It's ridiculous how they teach you to be willfully ignorant.
I used to be a JW. It’s a sad thing. I pray for your wife. God bless you
Protestantism didn't start until the 1500s so I guess no souls were saved from the time Christ died until another 1,500 years, right?
hmm strange did the catholic church start in the 1000s when the catholics split from the orthodox?
@alexanderkat7709 The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ and has been here ever since, brother. Peter was the first pope. The term “Catholic” was used way before the Great Schism or even Emperor Constantine. Why spread lies when the truth is so easily accessible in this age?
@@michaelbarry1664 well and I tell you that protestants also were there since Christ. And Orthodox will claim the same. Don't you think that all three will identify with the early church? And if we look at how the early church looked like, protestants are the most similar without all the icons, statues and all the other stuff.
@alexanderkat7709 but then when you look at the writings of said early church. It's distinctly catholic. With its practices and beliefs on mary, purgatory, prayer to saints, Peter being pope, etc.
@@stevenwright1829 well then you have to show me where all of those things are mentioned in the first or second century. Besides the pillars of the Church are James, Peter and John as mentioned by Paul in Galatians 2:9
Because Martin Luthefer encourages them to lie, do you honestly think the likes of James White are ignorant of authentic Catholic teaching? "Ye shall know them by their fruits"
IIRC Our good buddy Martin is dead and so is any translation he provided . So maybe this is one of those crazy things roman Catholics believe without substance?
Because Martin Luthefer encourages them to lie,
So here you claim something about lying and yet lie to do so?
Where is your proof?
do you honestly think the likes of James White are ignorant of authentic Catholic teaching? "Ye shall know them by their fruits"
If you follow a man in the church and not keep your eyes focused on Christ Heb 12:2 then you are bound to come up with false beliefs.
@brucewmclaughlin9072 if I post here Martin Lutheferer lying antics, what will I get from you?
@@ungas024 Well for one thing you get credibility if you can provide Martin's lies or you get to be shown up as someone who trusts hearsay / rumors rather than truth.
Now to preface anything you say about Luther just remember that the vast majority of believers follow Christ not some guy or his thoughts on issues from the 1500's
So by all means do tell us what Luther had to say in context ,not just snippets !! I have heard some really bad stuff as a sentence but when in context it is pointed out he was making a point not emphasizing an action. I hope you will do the same.
You are such an incredible example of why I value converts to the Catholic faith over your typical cafeteria Catholic 💯your channel is amazing!!
Thank you
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “The tendency toward jealousy can exist within the Church when Catholics resent holiness and goodness being attained by non-Catholics. Instead we should all be able to always appreciate and respect each other, praising the Lord when he acts in the Church and in the world.”
I look forward to seeing your videos pop up. As far as this topic, I (here in the Bible Belt) find myself CONSTANTLY defending the Catholic Church and I’m not even Catholic. Is that weird?

One of my favorite lies proty's believe is 'the Catholic Church is the whore of babylon', lie. Their logic is since many clergymen wear red and purple it proves we're in league with the devil. Another one is Ash Wednesday is a hidden pagan ritual. The Bishops are dagon worshippers because their Mitre's resemble dagon's head, the list of ignorance just goes on.
I think Islam is the whore of Babylon. Islam is the only religion that is designed to destroy the identity of Christ and the mission of Christ.
Islam teaches beheading, slave trade, marking dhimi people during the Caliphate. Jihadists also loved wearing arms band and head scarf with Arabic words written on it.
As an Orthodox Christian I feel bad for Protestants. The have know root in church tradition. Have pastors that have no deep understanding of scripture as the have no understanding of ancient interpretation. It’s just what their guy thinks. They have a Bible with missing books because Martin Luther decided by himself what should be in the Bible. Can they be saved. That’s Gods prerogative. But to think you can just have faith with no works is a lie from the devil.
They have a Bible with missing books because Martin Luther decided by himself what should be in the Bible
Martin's bible no longer exists and has not existed for centuries. The missing books are not missing as they are available to read . So if you look to scripture in the old and new testaments you will not find any contradictions or historical inaccuracies. In the "not missing 7 books" you find historical inaccuracies and false doctrines.
. Can they be saved.
God is the one who saves based on our being led to repentance by the Holy Spirit , we are given salvation freely by God as a gift. Eph 2:1-10 and you need to see that the gift is separate from works of any kind verse 9 even though there are works to be done verse 10.
That’s Gods prerogative. But to think you can just have faith with no works is a lie from the devil.
A lie from satan or a works based salvation which is denied by scripture?
James 2: not by faith alone? Sounds like works! Jesus answers that question that James asks in John 6:28 those are the works.
Does that mean we do nothing except have faith? No absolutely not as all through the new testament we have a constant theme of living our faith in what we do .
Orthodox Bible has more books than the Catholic Bible🤷♂️
A movement whose beginnings have demonic roots.
Jesus is the founder qnd spirit, The Pope is just the current CEO and would not change the mission statement or cause.
Amen bless you praise God thank you so far this video 📹 I've recently started praying the rosary 📿 daily and I absolutely love it and don't have any issues with it or Catholic Church at all I'm protestant and go to a pentecostal church currently were I've been baptised in the name of the farther son and holy spirit, but if I was to join the Catholic Church would I need to be baptised again or is once enough as I'm led to believe would appreciate some advice 😊
You would not be baptised again, 1 baptism. If you are baptised in the bame of the father, son and holy spirit with water on your head in some fashion, dunking is fine, then you are baptised Catholic
The very first book printed was in1455, the "Gutenberg Bible" aka "Vulgata Latina", both catholic (press inventor and bible).

Someone speculated to me that Mexico had low covid vaccine acceptance because it was a Catholic country. I told him he sounded really ignorant and didn't really engage with him further.
@@Patrick_919 That someone was off the mark. Mexico had low acceptance of the vaccine because nobody trusts the government down there. The officials are corrupt and dishonest and often on the payroll of the cartels. So people do not bother with any dictates. President Lopez Obrador is more worried about his precious migrants to be bothered with vaccines. And the cartels do not care about anything or anybody as long as they get their money,

There is danger in reading the Bible nowadays. It is not necessary. I recall that my mother said that when she was young (1950s) there was something in the family Bible that said that it was to be read under the direction of a priest. This is tradition.
In fact it is likely that the focus on reading the Bible was and is a part of a plot to Protestantize those who identify as Catholics. Any orthodox Catholic ought to know that the two means of grace are prayer and the sacraments. Protestants act as if reading the Bible is the third. But it is not.
Ummm... no. Catholic theology is based on sacred Scripture as well as sacred tradition, and always has been. Our beliefs are grounded in the Bible.
In my own family we never prayed at home, either individually or as a family. My mother had the odd idea that we should only pray in church, as if the home wasn't a worthy place to pray. With one exception-- children's prayers before bed. But my father prayed bedtime prayers with us only once or twice, then never again after that. So I skipped those, too. As a result, I struggle today to make time for personal prayer, but I realize my mother was mistaken. Just because "your mother said so" doesn't necessarily make something true.
@@anng.4542 Catholics know that they are correct because of the teaching of the Church. It isn't necessary to be able to read and understand Holy Scripture to get into Heaven.
Note that I am merely repeating what I have heard concerning what I believe is Church tradition. It is appropriate that Catholics not rely on the Bible. I am not taking an "erroneous family tradition" as truth.

Thankful for being a Catholic
I'm not going to lie, one of the only reasons I don't go to confession is because I'm not sure if the Catholic Church is still what it once was. Would I be offering confessions to a false priest? Should I go Orthodox Christian and offer my confessions there? Do I just offer my confessions to God in my own way? I'm sorry but I'm just so confused and that hurts my heart to no end.
SSPX. Their confessions and marriages have approbation from the pope if you need that security.
If the priest is validly ordained from the Apostolic line, then there should be no problem. The priest exercises the authority by virtue of holding the office of priesthood. He does not forgive on his capacity.
As an individual, the priest may have some shortcomings like theological errors or flaws in his character but unless he is excommunicated for refusing to recant heresy or being disciplined by the Church for serious misconduct, there should be no problem to go to him for confession. Of course those who are theologically sound can give much needed counsel.
Catholic Church is made up of sinners - be it the priests or layman. But as long as she is the legitimate Church, she is the bride of Christ. Of course all the Apostolic Churches are true Church so long as they hold on to the tradition of the Apostles and do not officially teach contrary to what the Apostles taught.
Why are you confused or concerned? Remember the words of Christ: I will be with you always and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it until the end of time. Fear not. Jesus knows your heart.
When the priest is giving absolution, he is doing so “in persona Christi,” be humble and grateful for the opportunity and privilege.
As a relapsed heretic, I have seen a lot of people from all kinds of beliefs (Christian and non-Christian), and in these circles we are accustomed to examining personalities and priorities... frankly your expression of ego don’t sound different from theirs. Using church’s flaws as excuse to avoid the sacrament, your fear and perfectionistic expectations from other mortals are more urgent than your love and reunion and healing.
are you saying that there only a small remnant of true catholics side Vatican 2? with such a comment I'm assuming you're a staunch opponent of novus ordo, how do you feel about the heresies of the sspx?
Brilliant
Only one mediator between God and man. Not Mary. Also Bible says not to pray to saints. Jesus said to believe not rely on works and baptism, popes, paying coin, confessing to a priest etc. Catholics follow traditions added over time. Christians follow the words of Christ.
For some reason I get the impression you’re a not a big fan of Vatican 2..
Vatican 2 was a non- binding pastoral council making no Dogmatic statements. However, a number of Vatican 2 documents contain heresies those being in "Unitatis Reintegration" on Ecumenism;. Decree on the Church "Lumen Gentium";. Decree on non-Christian Religions"Nostra Aetate";. Declaration on Religious Liberty ""Dignitatis Humane"";. Decree on the Church in the Modern World "Gaudium et Spes". Father Gregory Hesse videos gives details. 🌴
Of course we’re going to have the “stupid Mary worshipper” myth
If someone wants to learn what are the real and genuine objections of confessional lutherans against Rome, he/she studies the Augsburg Confession. Lutheran theology is the real protestantism and not the heresies called themselves protestants and accusing the Catholics with the naive way this video shows.

I might agree with some of the things you have said but Catholics rely more upon their traditions than the bible. I Strongly disagree with your belief that the saints or even Mary can intercede on our behalf 1 Timothy ch 2 v5 destroys your doctrine ONLY Jesus is our mediator and to have any other belief is idolitary.
Your problem is " scripture alone"
Here watch this and see the absurdity of that false doctrine.

Jesus is the one mediator, but how He chooses to mediate is through His followers. Moses was a powerful mediator through Christ.
@@ken8334should mary even be called a corpse-whore?
We don't worship saints, prots venerate (only venerate) God, bible describe worship as always contain sacrifece (animals or burning incence) pegans also sacrife animals to their gods, so worship always contain sacrifice, real worship is adoracion of God and holiest sacrament , whitout it you have no real worship only veneration
The word Worship has changed in time . Such as calling a judge your worship. In Old texts you will find stating worship to saints,but also to a spouse. Sometimes Protestants will pull out a 100 year old text, and claim this proves worship.
The term isn't "crazy things" it is LIES or errors.
Everyone l knows, Talks about catholic, And Talk about the Sabbath, And say Jews is the chosen ones?
If Catholics didn't worship Mary, sculptures wouldn't have been made of Mary & the Saints.

@@USDebtCrisis 😂😂😂Why would I have a nativity play set?
Just a heads up an idol is an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship. Or a person that is greatly admired, loved, or revered.
In South Africa, Africans (also witch doctors) use animal skins on their wrists & ankles as an idol to connect them to their ancestors.
In Catholicism you use rosaries(around your neck)/paintings/sculptures & medals(around your neck) to connect you to saints & Mary.
Isaiah 28.16 Thus says the Lord God "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation, whoever believes will not act hastily."
We don't want to hear Catholics should not pray to Mary or keep statues or go to priests for confession etc.
What we want to know is why it is sin to pray to Mary and the saints? Where is it written that it is a sin?
We want to know why keeping the statues of Jesus, Mary and the saints is a sin but Israelites having the covenant box and Moses making a statue of bronze serpent is not a sin.
We want to know when and how Jesus became the high priest.
We want to know why confessing to the priests is a sin. We don't want to hear accusations that Catholics should not go to priests for confession.

Thank you. I do read the Bible. But I notice that protestants make accusations without backing it with the passages from the Bible. We want to know proofs with explanations of protestants' point of view. You can give it a try against my first post here.
@@justthink8952 These answers are all over the internet and found with an easy google search
Ad 1 question. The problem with praying to saints and Mary is that catholics believe they are alive in Heaven, correct? Protestants on the other hand believe that people after death don't go straight to Heaven/hell, for Bible is clear that death is just a sleep and that the dead know nothing (e.g. Daniel 12:2; Ecclesiastes 9:5-10). There are of course the exceptions of Moses, Enoch and Elijah of whom the Bible gives us account that they are in Heaven - but as I said they are exceptions and Bible is really clear on the topic of what happens to us after death - which is... nothing. People will go to Heaven after they will be resurected when Christ returns, and not right after they die. (1 Thesallonians 4:16-17) If people go to Heaven after they die, what's the purpose of Christ coming back? And so if people after they die don't go to Heaven immediately you are then not praying to Mary, for she is sleeping (dead), but to demons. Bible is clear on the topic of talking to the dead: Deuteronomy 18:10-13.
@@polaroid1479 yes. Catholics believe Mary and the saints are alive in heaven.
Paul wrote about those fallen asleep waiting for the day of judgement.
But Revelation chapter 20 tells about the first resurrection. It informs us of the possibility that Mary and the saints could be alive in heaven. Revelation chapter 5 tells us about the saints in heaven offering the prayers of the holy ones on earth. Revelation chapter 6 tells us about the martyrs praying to God to avenge their blood on the inhabitants of the earth.
Though necromancy is condemned, it is not the same as praying to the saints.
Well what do you expect? when you got rerisen deChristianized repaganized Rome impersonating the Catholic Church eversince 896!
And yet there are no outrage in any writing of that time supporting your beliefs. Instead you see the same beliefs as their predecessors
Rome was dead by 896 cry more satanist
First off you shouldn’t be praying to Mary but Mary is dead she can’t do nothing for you anyways
Mary is very much alive in heaven as Queen (type of Esther) & devotion to her draws us closer to her son!
@@geoffjs Mary is dead bro read Ecclesiastes 9:5
@@alldayproductions8566it is ironic Protestants claim that an angel came down from heaven and proclaimed Mary in God's favor, must be dead. Then they claim themselves in God's favor will live with Christ forever.

@@alldayproductions8566 Revelation has the Saints in heaven. How everything will actually work has not been revealed.
Well I agreed with this video before i started it lol, and at 25 seconds in you ruined it…. Every religious group feels completely misrepresented by the others it’s the nature of the this, please don’t act like the Catholics are getting ganged up on
Which Christian denomination is more mocked and persecuted? If you're being honest the answer is simple. It's not Baptists, not Lutherans, not even Orthodox. So deal with the facts. Doesn't mean Catholics are correct in their theology, although they ABSOLUTELY are, just that they are definitely the most ridiculed
@@waseemhermiz7565 I have never been a Catholic so I can only speak from the outside looking in, and where I live in America Catholics are hardly bothered, and In debate Catholics have more books to use to back up there large amount of theological ideas, it is very hard to pin them down, since if for example someone begins to show they are wrong about a thing whatever it may be all a Catholic needs to do is take distract them with another complicated attempt to answer the issue presented by a different church father, council or scripture, and if all else fails they can always claim tradition holds whatever our issue is to be true.
What I’m trying to say is that it is much easier to ridicule Protestants or Islam than a Catholic.
@@HiddenGnosis sounds like you're making excuses and upset you have INFORMED Catholics around you. We won't lay down for protestors to slaughter.
Sounds like you've lived your life with one eye closed.
@@nl396 I certainly have not but it doesn’t really matter what I have personally seen, the question is so Catholics get ridiculed more than any other religion, and I’ve already made some points, where you have made none, but I guess I will add more, it seems to me that Catholics have lived there life concerned about what others think of their beliefs, where if they are certain there faith is true and shouldn’t be ridiculed, then they should take ridicule as a blessing and opportunity to show how they are correct, not cry about how they are bullied!
I mean no offense to all Catholics here, but you cannot just read my comment and then ( like a child ) respond essentially with a “nuh uhh”
2:05 Asking Mary to pray for you? Why in 73 books of the bible the example set, is that you pray to God , no one else. So why would you pray to Mary the mortal mother of Jesus when the example set by Jesus and the entire bible is to pray to God? Mary is no more righteous than any believer in Christ . Mary is dead in the grave , her spirit alive in the heavenly realm with Jesus , Eph 2:6 but there is no precedent in all of scripture that says there is communication between the heavenly realm and us. So why would yo pray to a mortal who is not walking among the living for abything ? Heb 4:15,16 points to who?
Revelation 5
8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints
Revelation 8
. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne;
Psalm 103
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!”
Psalm 148
1 “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host!”

So do any of the verses you have pointed to , tell you to pray to anyone else ,anyone ? All the verses you presented have nothing to do with praying to saints or anyone other than God . Prayers of the saints is not the same as prayers to the saints.
When I read a book and I don't understand what is written I go to author's notes for and explanation. In the case of the Bible, I got its author the Roman Catholic Church who compiled the written biblical works, WRITTEN by Catholics, like Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke,John and Paul,, to THAT Church founded by Jesus Christ to get its meaning.
Then I know I have the TRUTH.
Suggested Reading is the Father's of the Church. 🙏🌴

The church compiled existing scriptures into the canon we have today , it at no point wrote scripture 2 Peter 1:20-21
New Catholic Bible
20 First of all, however, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private interpretation. 21 No prophecy ever came from human initiative. Rather, when people spoke as messengers of God, they did so under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
WRITTEN by believers, like Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul,, to THAT Church founded by Jesus Christ to get its meaning.

Well what you have may or may not be the truth but you will have an interpretation that you ,who do not know the scriptures ,will consider truth .
Suggested Reading is the Father's of the Church.
Suggested reading the scriptures with the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit who will teach you as Jesus said He would.
As a roman Catholic you are taught to pray to the saints , and that is a complete contradiction to the example set in all 73 books of the bible where we find no one praying to anyone other than God.
Which of the early church fathers ever said praying to someone other than God was correct? Pray for one another James 5:16 is not the same as praying to.
Praying to the saints because they are righteous denies the righteous believer in Christ who is alive physically , as James 5:16 points out.
You do not find any reference in scripture of praying to / asking Mary the mother of Jesus to convey your prayers to God , so which of the early church fathers said this is the correct way to get answers?
You are confusing prayer with worship.
I got 6,000,000 Jews in Europe who would argue there is one other religious group thats lied about pretty frequently
We could limit it to Christian churches, or simply that persecution and telling lies about what the Jews believed are two different things. So I don't see your point. The Jews have a good argument that they have been persecuted more than any religion, but I think we are talking about telling lies on what that religion believes.
Then create your own video on that one other religious group.
God judges us individually ! Not collectifully.
Jews aren't a religious group, they're a race.
