#BishopBarron #Catholic #Protestant
As a Catholic I actually issued a sigh of relief when +Barron said “yes”
@Nathan Longacre More so I was expecting a “”nuanced”” non answer attempt to not be offensive like he gave to Ben Shapiro
@@folofus4815 Same
I haven't watched the video yet, but I was assuming he would say "No". And given the state of the CC as it is in everyday life, "No" might be the best answer, at least sometimes.
One has to take account not only of what the Church is for, but also, of what is good for individuals: for some people, becoming Catholic might be a very bad choice. It's a good question.
@@jamesmc04 This is just heretical, we want everyone saved, so of course we want everyone to convert.
I actually did think he’d say “no”. But you know, it’s fine either way, bc Vatican II says so. Wow. Amazing how the new church makes new rules. I guess God just changed His mind, in the novus ordo perception.
I was born into a Catholic home, became a Protestant then came back to the Catholic church after looking at the evidence of the Eucharist.
Welcome home!

Can you explain what evidence you mean please?
@@briemuss05 Are these 4 enough? aleteia.org/2017/06/15/4-incredible-eucharistic-miracles-that-defy-scientific-explanation/
Sorry to hear to you fell away fr the faith.
As a convert of 22 years to Catholic Church, it just gets better and better. I love my Catholic faith
i pray to convert to Christianity then
Like a fine wine?
@@Tektitictie Catholicism is the true christianity.
Even the alphabet clowns that play with the Eucharist? All the pedopriests who supposedly have the Holy Spirit? Oh it sure does get better and better eh?
Yea…. Sealed with the Holy Spirit at confirmation has a whole different meaning in the RCC.
@@ironsword3611 Someone needs to do some more research lol.
As a Catholic who left the faith to be a Protestant for 8 years and then return I will say come home brother. I didn’t know my faith as a cradle Catholic, but when I left and became “on-fire” for The Lord everything, and I mean everything, directed me back to the Catholic Church. Just my 2 cents... God bless ALL my brothers and sisters!!!
Alexander
So you became on fire for the Lord by leaving the Catholic Church and then returned?
Chris Topher
No, long story... the woman I married is Protestant and when I left the church-being a Sunday church goer and nothing more- I really got into knowing why I was doing what I was doing... and as I learned it lead me back to the Church... that’s the synopsis :-) I really do love and respect my Protestant brothers and sisters though!!!
Alexander
Gotcha
@@chrisgagnon5768 read the parable of the prodicle son.
Welcome back home!
"Unless you eat my body and drink my blood, you shall not have life within you."
Sad that catholics on the opposite of protestants don't drink wine anymore.
True, but surely the fact that Moses and Elijah appeared at the Transfiguration, that St. John the Baptist dies before the Institution of the Eucharist, and the commonly accepted Baptism of Blood show that God’s Grace can save those who have not partaken of any sacraments.
@@haydongonzalez-dyer2727
Of course. Jesus is recorded once as saying, "I am speaking to you who are listening." Jesus is telling those who hear what they must do, He is not setting a high bar for those who haven't heard or (for some reason) can't perform.
@@djg585
YES!
Why is the Blood not always offered in addition to the Body? If Jesus said eat AND drink, then we are not getting the fullness of the Eucharist. 😳🥺
I loved Bishop Barron’s response about why Protestants are excluded from the Eucharist. I’m a convert by way of evangelicalism. I absolutely DID NOT believe that Christ was truly present in the Eucharist while I was Protestant. Indeed, someone should say to non Catholics, “I don’t want you to take something you don’t believe in.” Makes so much sense. Then, when I was in RCIA, becoming Catholic, I hungered for Christ in the Eucharist in a way I never ever did, as a Presbyterian. When, maybe 4 times a year, I had a tiny square of white bread and a micro glass of grape juice IN MEMORY of Christ’s crucifixion. The two don’t even compare.
I wasn't referring to Christ. I was referring to Isaiah 64:6.
You're not eating literal flesh
@@alantinoalantonio You don't believe those Red Letter Words of Christ at the Last Supper?
"Take, eat, this is My Body?"
Then why are Lutherans, Orthodox, Anglicans and as far as I know, Old Catholics, all excluded? You know, most protestant traditions with roots in the reformation times actually hold to the real presence of our Lord. Granted the "reformed" use a language that these days confuse most people, so they think He is not present, but originally I think they also had a real presense to the meaning (Anglicans consider themselves reformed, so they must agree I guess).
@@MortenBendiksen Orthodox are not excluded because they hold to the Real & Substantial Presence. Luthereran ministers who come into the Catholic Church as Priests (2 are in my diocese), will ascept the Real & Substantial Presence without much of a change in theology. Anglicans and Episcopalians can as well, (2 are in my diocese and one of them was in my parish).
The Reformed do believe in the Real Pressence (which is misleading) because they claim they eat and drink the flesh and blood spiritually. We do that as well, but it is also the transubstantiated bread and wine we consume. Taking it spiritually, is not "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and Drink His blood, you have not Life in You." So they do not eat His Flesh and drink His blood.
How Can This Man Give Us His Flesh to Eat?

As a Protestant, I have more engaging conversations with Catholics than I do with my fellow Protestants. There seems to be a higher definition of clarity in Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox theology than in Protestant theology. I always feel like I'm hitting a wall until I talk to a Catholic.
Have you considered becoming Catholic or Orthodox?
@@amandah8178 I honestly have, and I do consider it all the time.
Josh Alicea - I made that journey myself from Protestantism and I’m so thankful to be home in ancient Christianity. (Catholic) God bless you on your journey!
Do you have any questions you’d like to ask? I will do my best to try to help and answer them.
Obviously you don't love truth rather you love tradition and your reasoning.
You love man's tradition more than God's word. "Thou shall not make any image". Catholics make all kinds of images and come up with all kinds of excuses to justify it. Why can't they worship without those images in the first place? Millions do that. Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and man, so says the Bible. But Catholics have numerous mediators and their number is increasing almost daily. Catholics have all those anti Biblical justification for that too. And it goes on and on...... . Read your Bible and compare all denominations with the truth you see there. A normal human being wouldn't go to Catholicism without giving up his intellectual honesty, forget his love for truth and the Lord.
I watched this about a year and a half ago. I’m Catholic now haha. Thank you for this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Welcome home ❤
Welcome home 😊
May the holy spirit comtinue to guide you brother
DEUS VULT!!!
Has anyone ever told you about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit? If you don’t know what they are, find a new church.
I am starting RCIA this summer. I can't wait to become a full-fledged Catholic!
I love you guys!
Research the Roman church, outside the Roman church!
80% of all “Early Church Fathers” did not agree with Roman teachings, ie the RCC.
If you read Roman dogma, you’ll won’t get the truth. They cherry pick from the church fathers, essentially making them say whatever gives the Roman church power!
Read the Catholic dogma, and compare with the church fathers actual writings. You will learn, that it is all fraud!
I love my Roman Catholic friends, but do some real research.
Be honest, have any of you Romans actually read from materials outside what your given or taught in your churches?
It's such a small detail and not at all the main point of any of your videos, but I love how you do the music cut just a fraction of a second before visually cutting away.
it's a nice editing trick called a "J-cut" because the audio track of the second clip goes beneath the video track of the first clip forming the letter J.
a similar trick is called the "L-cut" where the audio of the first clip continues over the video of the second clip...so in this case the interview audio will continue for a split second on the ending text..

@@tony1685 That's what he is doing now.
@@tony1685 Are you a cradle protestant, mate?
@@tony1685 Ah ok! I'm also a former protestant, bro. What branch of protestantism do you belong to?
Best reason ever will be having the posibility of the holy eucharist.

Cor Iesu, miserere nobis.
The President of The Internet WF White attacks what he doesn’t correctly understand. He’s incredibly ignorant of scripture as a whole, and Church history. Many disciples left Jesus because of his teaching about eating his flesh and drinking his blood (John 6:66). Things haven’t changed much in 2000 years! It’s still difficult for people to understand and accept!
@@tony1685 Wow! After 2000 years of history you've suddenly figured it all out. You know better than the Apostolic Fathers and the Church Fathers of the 1st and 2nd centuries 🙄
Juan would you please explain that to me?
Im not even a catholic and i can see quite a few cringe attacks on catholicism here in the comments. Makes me consider becoming catholic even more 😂
Do it and you'll never regret it.
Amen brother. By the way, I am formally asking you to become Catholic! no excuse now :)
try not to look at them as attacks. I simply get frustrated but sometimes it comes out negatively in comments. I think people impulsively write comments and they seem pretty negative but instead it's just frustration. Also, maybe some have so much devotion to Christ that they go too far and feel they have to attack back - kinda like when someone insults your mom and you feel the need to put them in their rightful place. Sometimes I think this too. In some ways Catholicism is absolutely anti-Jesus and that upsets me.
@@smarterworkout Catholicism is the Church of Christ. It isn't anti Jesus, lol.
That is the dumbest logic
Fly to the Catholic Church! Adhere to the only faith which continues to exist from the beginning, that faith which was preached by Paul and is upheld by the Chair of Peter. St. Hippolytus Of Rome ~230 AD.
Yes. But be prepared to be horrified by individuals in the Church who are trying to tear the Church down from within..either out of brainwashed ignorance or out of a conscious desire to destroy the Church.
@@Featherfinder By Good Friday, one of the Apostles betrayed Jesus and hanged himself. Another, called chief of the Apostles, denied Him three times. Nine of them ran and hid. Only one of the Apostles, John, stayed at the foot of the cross. The Church has always been a bastion of horrible leaders. The 11/12 men Jesus directly called abandoned Him. Yet, Jesus still founded the Catholic Church, and she has remained until this very day. It still exists only by divine will.
@@bareit98 Jesus founded his Church. It was first called the WAY. As it grew internationally, it was described as Catholic - meaning universal. JESUS never named it The Roman Catholic Church.
"If you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and Believe in your HEART that GOD raised him from the Dead, thou SHALL BE SAVED" (Romans10:9).
He who adds to God's salvation must beware.
@@ronaldlatchman1268 Christ founded a church, yes? But which church and how do you know?
@@bareit98 The Church of Christ are a body of believers who share a common confession of faith. 1.The apostle's creed fairly well covers what that common confession is. The problem arises when we stray to far away from the creed while still claiming that wé hold to it.
2. The confession of faith must be Grounded in what its founder, Jesus, taught.
3. The church then can BE identified by its obedience to its confession in word and practice.
Yes, become catholic. (Former lutheran, now catholic).
Can I ask, how did you come to terms with the teaching on purgatory & indulgences?
Andreas Lacher Ewwwwwww no
Isaiah Indulgences are a horrible perversion of Jesus’s Death. I personally don’t have an opinion on Purgatory but its not stated in the bible Jesus would have told the disciples
Andreas Lacher amen brother same here from 🇵🇭
RCC:
Pope Gregory IX, after he had agreed to the death penalty for heretics at the beginning of 1231, attached great importance to the fact that not the state, but a careful ecclesiastical investigation should determine who really was a persistent
Heretic was that he should be handed over to the state for execution, and for this purpose, among others, he created the papal inquisition in November 1231 that same year: an investigative authority that at the same time performed judicial duties and had to watch over the purity of the faith.
JESUS:
But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;
bless those who curse you and pray for those who offend you.
And whosoever shall smite thee upon one cheek, offer him the other also: and whosoever shall take away thy coat, let him not also the skirt be defiled.
Whoever asks you, give to him; and whoever takes away yours, do not demand it again.
Do the teachings and actions of the RCC match the teachings, actions and words of Jesus?
Thank you Bishop Barron for having the courage to tell the truth instead of people pleasing.
Everybody thinks that the religion of their given corner of the world is the true religion. Everybody is right and wrong since nothing can be proven or disproven.
That was the best answer to "Why are Protestants not allowed Communion at Catholic Mass?" that I've ever heard.
The answer was: coz u aint ready for this level of Christian.
I going through my initiation at the moment. I'm not baptized at all (yet).
By that explanation, I do believe it is the body of christ, yet I still can't participate in communion.
It's not a good one though.
What if he were to respond:
But I'm a Lutheran/ a High Anglican and already think the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ.
I don't think Catholics should pretend refusing communion to Protestants is not excluding people: it is.
I'm not offended by that.
If I would be offended of anything, it's the feeling of being patronised, because of the pretence that the refusal is about transubstantiation.
@@tony1685 nonsense - the Catholic Faith is the original faith of the apostles and the early Church, as every scholar knows
@@tony1685 nobody in the early Church thought the Eucharist was a symbol, as all scholars know
I was raised evangelical and we hopped from church to church to church bc everyone's interpretation of scripture varied so much. I would say we went to some downright dangerous churches (cults really and I'm not exaggerating). I am so grateful I found the fullness of truth in the Catholic church and that I don't have to constantly question what I'm being taught bc of the checks and balance system and rich and thorough history.
Bishop Barron is a good dude. I encourage everyone to listen to him with an open mind and meditate on the things he says. You won’t regret it.
This video randomly showed up in my playlist and I don’t know who the interviewer is but I think he does a great job. Firstly because he follows up on something the other person says, which shows he’s actively listening. But mostly because he stops talking and actually let’s the person being interviewed speak without interruption. Well done sir. You set a great example for how it should be done.
Bishop Barron is amazing you should should follow him word on fire podcasts
I like Dr. Peter Kreeft's answer about why God didn't bring CS Lewis into the Catholic Church, "because then Protestants wouldn't read him." Would love Cameron to become Catholic, but everything according to God's will.

@@Davichoo Yeah a comment like that is just historically, woefully out of step with the facts. I love Protestants, but you guys have got a lot of ideas that are easily brought under serious doubt. Peace

@@nenabunena That goes without saying. Although I'm sure the insinuation falls well below the threshold for being reasonable. Have a good one.
The fullness of Truth, why wouldnt someone want it, I love it. I was protestant and when I came into the one holy catholic and apostolic church it has become the chief event of my life, it is awesome it beautiful it is just wonderful, I love it. Praise be Jesus and Mary now and forever.
@Israel Carranzana, Ditto! @ Main event of my Life. I too converted from Protestant to Catholic and I feel like I finally found my long-lost family! I'd become frustrated and disillusioned seeking answers in different denominations as a church hopping Protestant. I stayed home and quit going to Church for a while because nothing really satisfied for long. I love the quiet, meditative aspects of Catholicism like Eucharistic Adoration, Mental Prayer and and Lectio Divina. And The Rosary has flat out revolutionized my Life! I have never seen anything so Powerful as Praying those daily 4 mysteries plus......
It brings me sooo much joy to hear u say that I love to read what u said I read it a few times God bless u and your family praise. I too find saying the rosery a powerful. The 4 mystery awesome. Praise be Jesus and Mary now and forever.

From the future: Congrats Cameron Bertuzzi!
Great answers from a great Bishop. I thrive in his intellectual answers that we can all learn and apply in our own works of evangelization
I love the answer of Bishop Barron! He's a great evangelist.. He even recognizes that protestants are better at preaching and Bible study which, as a Catholic, I totally agree
How can Protestants be better at bible study when they get the bible so wrong?
Protestants, in general, knows by memory and study more the Bible than the average catholic
@@josegimenezchilavert8699 reciting scripture is irrelevent when you have an incorrect understanding. Bible studies promote subjective personal interpretation, instead of christian doctrine.
I find catholics may not kmow where to find things in the bible, but the righteous ones still know how to live out the faith, because the Church instructed them properly, including their parents.
@@ACF1901 Good response. It is not about who is the better preaching or reader: it is about who accepts the Gospel and who composes his own.
People might be fired up preaching their own ideas and present them under the holy name of Jesus and the Gospel. The meaning of such is null and void, obviously.
To be honest I think most Catholics, most especially those who listen to the Liturgy of the Word regular, which is an excellent way of understanding how the Old Testament is reflected and clarified in the New Testament, know more than they give themselves credit for.
It's kind of like showing your Mam she always knew how to use the remote!
They might be hyper aware that Protestants are Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura, and feel they could be tripped up in some cases, in others they just trust or don't argue because it would 'damage a soul' on their path to God.
However, they should have more confidence to speak with other Christian's and remember what they know...
I remember many years ago saying to my mam, 'Why are you afraid of speaking about Scripture with those who may disagree, why don't you say what you know?' - Very simply she said, 'We're not children of the Book, we're children of the Living God and the only Church He instituted In the Book, let's trust Him!"
I'm so grateful for even being prompted to listen and think about this amazing truth from my Mam, and I pray to have her trust and patience too.
Should you become Catholic? Yes, every single time.
I love Bishop Barron's blunt, tough love, lol. Such an elegant speaker of the faith. God bless you Bishop Barron!
Wolf dressed as a sheep
St Francis impressed on his followers to convert people to the true Cathoic faith. Something which is obviously lacking today
I'm Catholic BUT Fr Barron does more harm by quoting Vatican II and stating non Catholics and non Christians can be saved implying that in their state of being NON ( Catholic/ Christian / Protestant etc). Those who are NON believers in Christ REJEC T Christ. It's as Simple as that. Going further, the Scriptures, whose author IS JESUS through the Spirit, states that their is NO way to the Father but through Jesus, through HIS sacrifice and one's acceptance OF that sacrifice. Period!
I was raised a Protestant - loved his answer! Didn’t convert me but he is someone I would attend a mass to listen to.
You should read dr. Hahn book Rome sweet home. Also steve ray amazing speakers.
Jesus started Catholic church. Check out book Why We Are Catholic by Trent Horn. God bless you!
Friend, you should read Luthers books. Remember: He was first catholic Dr in Theology and then he criticized the Catholic Church. For his criticism he was thrown out of it.
@@johnyang1420
No, the church Peter and Paul know was much different than the churches today. Just read the Letters and Acts. Doesn’t sound like Catholic Church to me. But all churches of Christ should believe in his words.
And if you belobe in his words it doesn’t matter which confession you belong to.
@@wolvadora9049 The gates of hell will never prevail against it. I guess you are calling Jesus a liar.
I’m a Protestant and I’m not going to become a Catholic but I do enjoy the opinions of my Catholic brothers and sisters and think they bring a great deal of value to the discussion.
You never know what God has in store for you. I almost left the Catholic Church, but stayed due to discovering the early church fathers.
I will say, the deep-seated roots and rich history of the Catholic Church and it’s pursuit of truth of the mystery of faith is one of the most awe inspiring aspects of Catholicism. I have one book to recommend for you, “Selected Writings” by Thomas Aquinas. It is one to be read with great focus and digested slowly. It is not too long, and focuses on the meat of the philosophical relationship with theology, overall giving a better understanding of the many principles of what drives Catholic teachings such as those Bishop Barron professes in this video. Hope you pick it up.

@@benmitchell1747 There are actually rational proofs for the existance of God, for ex.

Yeah was thinking of the same :) i think they sent to each other the direct recording of a cam and the channel owner used from both end in editing the real cam not the skype or zoom meeting. :)
Oh man that was one fo the best videos ive seen in a long time. Such respect and profound humility from the Bishop. Important question with a great answer.

My devout Catholic parents seem to have trusted that when I attended ccd and Catholic high school that I was actually being taught about the faith. I was not. Like, at all. Through a sort of miracle I began to learn much more about Christianity in general and Catholicism, in particular. ..and about Church history and saints. This has opened my eyes to so many things...especially to th wisdom of my (now deceased) parents. I am so grateful that I went through this change before they passed away but it’s still painful to recall the arguments I got into with my poor mom when I was sooooo clueless but had no insight into that fact due to my lack of humility. Like the good liberal Dem that I was I knew so much that “wasn’t so”.
Everybody thinks that the religion of their given corner of the world is the true religion. Everybody is right and wrong since nothing can be proven or disproven.
I was raised a Southern Baptist but I never liked the legalism, as a teenager I went through Methodist confirmation and Baptism. Recently I attended an Episcopalian service I liked, I felt very welcomed. I decided to buy some Catholic Rosary beads and have been trying to pray with them, maybe I am being led to Catholicism, maybe it is the true way. ♥️
Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one can come to the Father except through Him. I don't understand what's legalistic about that?
Btw, William Lane Craig advocates, on the issue of the unevangelized, "God will judge people in accordance to the light revealed to them."
Yeah Paul talks about this.
But there will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does good-to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. For all who have sinned outside of Torah will also perish outside of Torah , and all who have sinned according to Torah will be judged by Torah . For it is not the hearers of Torah who are righteous before God; rather, it is the doers of Torah who will be justified. For when Gentiles, who do not have the Torah , do by nature the things of the Torah , they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the Torah . They show that the work of the Torah is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts switching between accusing or defending them on the day when God judges the secrets of men according to my Good News through Messiah Yeshua .
Romans 2:10-16 TLV
bible.com/bible/314/rom.2.10-16.TLV
Yes, but he wouldn’t say that you can be saved by following the law as Lumen Gentium would prescribe as referenced by Bishop Barron. Galatians 5:4 refutes that: “You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.” WLC would say that the person who repents and flings himself on the mercy of God by placing their faith in him can be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Also, Romans 11:6 says, “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”
@@brettboyd4171 but the law includes alot...like ceremonial laws, purification laws?
@@brettboyd4171 Try reading Lumen Genium before arguing against it. It is quite explicit about the action of grace.
ayy Heloo Here are some examples of the law that the New Testament is talking about from James 2:8-11: “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. For he who said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘Do not murder.’ If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.” Leviticus 19:18 is referenced along with the 10 commandments (Exodus 20:13-14 and Deuteronomy 5:17-18).
Paul gives some more examples of the law in 1 Timothy 1:8-10: “Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine...”. Here we see a reference to the 10 commandments in addition to some other commandments.
Luke 18:18-20 says, “And a ruler asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’”’ Jesus references the 10 commandments with regard to how one can attain eternal life. So if you keep the commandments perfectly like Jesus did you can merit eternal life. However, we know that Jesus is one only one who kept the commandments and did not sin. Romans 3:23 says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...”
So we see that the law at a minimum and includes the 10 commandments. Since nobody has kept the law we are all condemned. However, the good news is this: “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Love this interview with Bishop Barron. God Bless you both.
I love Bishop Barrons response. He is so good with words. I am a Catholic and I’m only 17 years old. I’m in love with my faith and encourage any non Catholics to look into the Eucharistic miracles around the world
What's best gift you can give a person when you love them...Your presence..Christ has gifted this to the Catholic Church
Christ loves everyone. And if that’s what you meant, than you should have said it!
The Mass is truly the greatest celebration on Earth
It is truly a glimpse into heaven.
The mass recrucifies Jesus. Not good
@@williamgullett5911 Only in the minds of those who don't know what the Mass is. Those who have been told lies about it believe that. You place too much hope in magic, and not in the Jesus who suffered died and rose again.
@@thomasfolio4357 Councils interpretations and how the church redefines Scripture with their version of Christianity is of no interest to me. Mass is just part of the problem(S)
@@williamgullett5911 You can ignore them if you wish, but then you ignore the Bible, as the First Council is in the NT in Jerusalem, and is shows (along with numerous other NT Passages) that the Apostles and their successors had authority to define and clarify what we must believe. So in rejecting them, you reject the Bible. The Mass is only a problem if you accept the lies about it which Protestants have been taught by the developers of their new doctrines not found in the Bible.
My son was pulled out of the que for failing to say "Amen" when the priest said"body of Christ". It strengthen my belief in the real presence of Christ in the eucharist
Have no words, but is because im amazed from Cameron and bishop Barron, is was a lovely conversation and the way it flow from both, not force or been pushy. Wonderful interview ❤️

I converted to Catholicism from Lutheranism. I know absolutely no change whatsoever for those that know. I absolutely love the Eucharist and the Sacraments, also I felt that I was most at home with Catholicism and the teachings of the church, more specifically social teachings of the Catholic Church. It can be an intimidating change from Protestant to Catholic, but I would advise to evaluate what you believe in, and of course the pros and cons for you, for becoming a Catholic. For me, the pros were almost unanimous for becoming a Catholic. I officially became Catholic on Easter 2012, and I am so glad that I did. For me Catholicism is so much more than a faith, it's a lifestyle. If you decide to become a Catholic, I say to you is Welcome!!!
I'm glad your happy with it. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for me is the concept of purgatory, could you explain from the Bible why you believe it to be real?
@@grandmasterlucienStill interested in the answer to purgatory?
Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus - "There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved." (Council of Florence)
Even if a person seams to be non-Catholic, in the end if he is saved, it is only because he has been united to the Catholic Church is a mystical and an outside the ordinary manner (such as through the baptism of desire, inculpable ignorance, the operation of the Holy Ghost leading him in the Faith to the extent which he could possibly know it and live it, etc.) This is the meaning of Bishop Barron's words, interpreted in the light of the infallible teaching of the Church, "non-catholic's can be saved".
This is known to God alone, and if we know that such a great mass of humanity are on the road to perdition, it is incumbent upon us to preach the truth without qualification. Outside the Catholic Church their is NO salvation, because outside of Jesus Christ their is no salvation. And the Church is the continuing operation of Christ's work on earth: to teach and preach the faith (see Matthew 28: 18-20), to sanctify the faithful by bringing them the fruits of Christs redemption (see John 20:23), and to govern them by the power of Christ invested in them (see Matthew 18:18).
Protestants, because of your Love of Jesus Christ you must seek the Truth, and the Catholic Church proclaims to teach the Truth. If you do not take these claims seriously, or ignore them and set them aside, then how can you truly be said to be seeking? Put the claims to the test. Read the Catechism, or listen to a Catholic apologist. You might test the claims of the Church, and do your due diligence, and find it's claims false. But on the other hand, you might find something you weren't expecting. So many people reject the Church for what they think it believes, and not for what it truly teaches.
I was a protestant for many years. I put the claims of the Catholic Church to the test. I listened to the apologists, read the fathers, studied catechism, studied the councils. I found them all in accord with Scripture. I found myself drawn by Christ into His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

@@drjanitor3747 Agreed that non Catholic salvation is heretical, which is why i specify that baptism of desire etc. has the possibility, not to save a non-Catholic, but rather to unite one to the Catholic Church in an extraordinary manner. Such a person united to the Catholic Faith could be saved. Baptism by Desire is taught by the Council of Trent "Can. 4. If anyone shall say that the sacraments of the New Law are not necessary for salvation, but are superfluous, and that although all are not necessary for every individual, without them *or without the desire* for them through faith alone men obtain from God the grace of justification; let him be anathema (On the Sacraments in General, Dz. 847). And again: In these words a description of the justification of a sinner is given as being a translation from that state in which man is born a child of the first Adam to the state of grace and of the "adoption of sons" [Rom.8:15] of God through the second Adam, Jesus Christ our Savior; and this translation after the promulgation of the Gospel cannot be effected except through the laver of regeneration *or a desire for it* as it is written: "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." [Jn. 3:5] (Dz. 796)
@@mitchellc4 This is a very generic statement that i could agree with if I knew what you meant when you say "Gospel of the Kingdom" and "Follow Jesus' Teachings". As far as I am concerned the Catholic Church is the Kingdom of God on earth and it faithfully transmits "Jesus' Teachings" We are all sinners and in need of repentance and grace through the saving lather of regeneration.
@@drjanitor3747 But even given my defense of Baptism by Desire, the purpose of my original comment was not to defend the excesses so common in our time regarding this doctrine. Rather because there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, we must preach the gospel to bring everyone into Her! We don't know who is saved in an extraordinary manner, and frankly if we know that so many members within her ranks are in danger, how much more those outside of Her? We must have missionary zeal and on that we can agree.

I agree with just about everything the Bishop said with the exception being that denying Holy Communion to non-Catholics is not only because they don’t believe it’s the real presence of Christ. Someone who is in the RCIA program, for example, who believes wholeheartedly in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, is advised not to receive Him until he is in full communion with the Church by undergoing education in the faith, going to confession, receiving confirmation, and then being allowed to receive the Eucharist. Also, those in a state of mortal sin who believe in the Eucharist are also not to receive the Eucharist (even if they are Catholic) until they go to confession first. This is because receiving the Eucharist is a sign that we are in a state of Grace with God, without any mortal sin (which cuts us off from God) and are in full communion with the Church. Confession allows those who committed a mortal sin and thus cut off from the body of Christ, to be received back into the body of Christ officially through the Sacrament of “Reconciliation” and thus that person may now receive the Eucharist and thus, the promise of eternal life as Christ promised in the Gospel of John Chapter 6 to anyone who eats his body and drinks his blood🙏🏼
You're right, I winced when the good Bishop said that.
Dan Mo It’s not the first time he’s said something incorrect. He is well known for making ignorant statements at times, such as in the past claiming that it is possible that there are no souls in hell and everyone goes to Heaven. Pray for the “good bishop” because he needs it🙏🏼 From a faithful Catholic Christian who doesn’t mind calling out falsehoods⛪️🤍🙏🏼
camerons journey is so wholesome and has been a delight to watch his honesty unfold online
It's truly amazing, I have been following Bishop Barron and reading his books for years but hearing his response to Cameron's question about Protestant's receiving the Eucharist was so simple yet incredibly brilliant and full of truth. Cameron's reaction to his answer spoke volumes as to the truth of Bishop's words.

RCC:
Pope Gregory IX, after he had agreed to the death penalty for heretics at the beginning of 1231, attached great importance to the fact that not the state, but a careful ecclesiastical investigation should determine who really was a persistent
Heretic was that he should be handed over to the state for execution, and for this purpose, among others, he created the papal inquisition in November 1231 that same year: an investigative authority that at the same time performed judicial duties and had to watch over the purity of the faith.
JESUS:
But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you;
bless those who curse you and pray for those who offend you.
And whosoever shall smite thee upon one cheek, offer him the other also: and whosoever shall take away thy coat, let him not also the skirt be defiled.
Whoever asks you, give to him; and whoever takes away yours, do not demand it again.
Do the teachings and actions of the RCC match the teachings, actions and words of Jesus?

In the eyes if the elites, they were just like Mike Winger complete jokes and intellectual lightweights!

Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do" Matthew 11:25-26 (NIV).
@Zachary Trent God does NOT have any NEED for so-called INTELLECTUAL HEAVYWEIGHTS! God uses "cracked pots" to reveal HIS wisdom, HIS greatness and glory! "But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us" 2 Corinthians 4:7
@Zachary Trent Therefore, " as the Scriptures say, if you want to boast, boast only about the LORD." 2 Corinthians 10:17 NLT. To you Mike Winger might be a joke and an intellectual lightweight but many see him as humble, decent fellow who has a genuine interest in helping fellow believing christians truly understand TRUTH and BEAUTY of God's Word! Thousands of professing christians are grateful to the LORD for teachers and pastors like Mike Winger!!!!
@Zachary Trent that's a bit condescending
I converted to Catholicism from protestantism sophomore year of college and my life has RADICALLY changed. Christ was calling me to take the leap of faith and trust in his will for me, and my soul has been radically purified and transformed. I am a different person, born again in Christ, and I beg anyone on
the fence to simply say ‘yes’. The catholic community is so loving- all converts are embraced. Come be healed, and join Christ’s church on earth. PAX CHRISTI!
A person who is "protestant" only in the sense of being a member of an ostensibly protestant denomination might ask questions about changing his denominational affiliation. A person who is protestant in the sense of subscribing to the 5 solae would never ask "Should I become Catholic?"
He would, if he is trying to find out the Catholic position on the matter.

@Collins Anosike
According to history, who added the word catholic? can you tell me that?
Did Jesus say, I will build my "catholic" church? If you are going to be honest, you will answer a big fat "No".
Is Jesus Christ the church? Again it is a NO. You have taken Scripture only as a reference but not the measure of truth. How many times did Christ refer to Scripture? Many times. This emphasizes the importance of Scripture as basis of truth. Again if you are honest, men (you) added the words just now "through the catholic church" to force scripture to mean catholicism which can never be found in scripture. WHO ARE YOU TO ADD WORDS TO SCRIPTURE? HOW DARE YOU?
@Collins Anosike Look at this verse, Mat 11:28 ISV “Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.
Do you see the word catholic in it? What were you talking about in your claim? The pope and other catholic authorities have blinded you to believe anything they say to be truth and putting the bible aside. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. May God be merciful to you.
I'm about to start RCIA
Research the Roman church, outside the Roman church!
80% of all “Early Church Fathers” did not agree with Roman teachings, ie the RCC.
If you read Roman dogma, you’ll won’t get the truth. They cherry pick from the church fathers, essentially making them say whatever gives the Roman church power!
Read the Catholic dogma, and compare with the church fathers actual writings. You will learn, that it is all fraud!
I love my Roman Catholic friends, but do some real research.
Be honest, have any of you Romans actually read from materials outside what your given or taught in your churches?
This aged well
Wow he came at Bishop Barron with aggressive but with very fair questions. And they were answered truthfully and welcomed with love. At 2:59 he seems to show that he is satisfied by Bishop Barron’s answers and then followed up with a smile at 3:09 to express how pleased he is.
Thank you Fr Newman and Fr Rahner esp for the doctrine on conscience.
I appreciate Bp. Baron defending the Catholic teaching that salvation is _possible_ (not assured) apart from the visible Church, though not apart from Christ. It is indeed authoritatively taught in _Lumen Gentium_ 16. But I think many Christians do not realize how far back this teaching goes; St. Justin Martyr in the 2nd century said: "We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes [John 1:9]. Those, therefore, who lived according to reason [Greek, logos] were really Christians, even though they were thought to be atheists, such as, among the Greeks, Socrates, Heraclitus, and others like them." (First Apology 46 [A.D. 151]).
Yeah he was talking about people before christ's death and resurrection... not protestants, athiests and pagans in 2020.
@@ACF1901 Well obviously, as Justin lived almost 1900 years ago. But what's the difference between pagans, atheists etc. then, and such non-Catholics now? Anyone is following Christ by following Logos, the only question is whether they are guilty for their ignorance (if any) which keeps them from more fully following Him. Only God (and the person himself, perhaps) can know that.
@@BosMutusCatholic the difference is Christ died and resurrection and sent the apostles on an apostolic mission around the world to baptize the world.
Christ didn't say "don't worry, invincible ignorance takes care of the rest"
The 10 commandments are written on the souls of everyone, as a precursor to recognizing when Christ's apostles come to baptize them. If they reject it they are not among the elect.
@@ACF1901 Jesus's apostles haven't reached everyone. Those are the invincibly ignorant.
Jesus does say invincible ignorance excuses (though, to be fair, he says this when pointing out his enemy’s culpable ignorance):
John 9:41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin.
It is also implied in Luke 12:48, Romans 1:20 and 2:15
Nobody is saying invincible ignorance “takes care” of anything. It does express the humility that only God judges the heart, and that He is supremely merciful.
But, you should know, just shouting _extra ecclesia nulla salus_ does nothing to take away anyone’s ignorance, but probably makes it more invincible.
@@BosMutusCatholic if the apostles didn't reach all the world, they you believe God is a liar and commanded the apostles to do the impossible. God never commands us to do anything beyond our abilities.
You're another modernist heretic with no supernatural faith.

Jesus and the Father are one. He is Emanu El - God with us. He is greater than the angels (King of kings, princes) in His equality with God, but humbled Himself, becoming born in a manger for us, adopting humanity in which He became like us in all things but sin - little lower than the angels. He gave His life for us, was raised by the Holy Spirit that dwelt in Him and whom He also sent! In the beginning God was the Word, and He says 'before Abraham, I am'. At the name Jesus (God saves), the name above all other names, every knee will bow including in Heaven. This is because He sits on the throne of God and the Lamb, one from which life-giving water flows in the city of God, heavenly Jerusalem, inhabited by those with His name on their foreheads, in their heavenly bodies - bearing Jesus's image.
With every creature in heaven (and everything in the universe), I cry out
“To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.”
With four living creatures let us say "Amen", fall down and worship!

The last part was beautifully answered by bishop Barron.
Happy to be Catholic always.
Dang he answered these really well
What I struggle with here, is that those who speak/spoke of the different churches were everyone BUT God and Christ... in Acts, we can see what the apostles and followers who were with Christ personally did. They came together, they broke bread together, they prayed together. That was the church.
Why is it relevant that Paul or any other apostle went on to create what we know today as the catholic church? He is yet but a man, and Jesus was quite clear about the way to him. And it did not involve all of this...

Actually the Bible says that the only way that one can be saved is thru Jesus and his church alone, so With all due respect have to disagree with your excellency on the fact that a person who is not a Christian can be saved.
Jesus himself has said that nobody goes to the father except thru him!
Peace and love always!
Fair enough. Now if you were born in a remote island/jungle where the Bible or Christianity has never existed, and you lived as a good person, then when you die (without knowing who Jesus is) do you have a chance to be saved or do you go straight to hell?
Google “which church did Jesus start?” Catholic
@@jabangun This is a matter of faith. You're right in saying that for people who through no fault of their own did not come to know Christ and his teachings, and yet lived a "good" life in accordance with what's inscribed in his heart will not be denied heaven. God is a Father, a most just and compassionate father to his children.
John Yang lol. You missed out the part where it says according to Catholic tradition. So I’m sorry but that doesn’t make it the correct answer. Tradition and scripture holds that the first Gentile church was founded in Antioch, Acts 11:20-21, where it is recorded that the disciples of Jesus Christ were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). Christians, not Catholics.
You missed on the part where Jesus started Catholic tradition. So that is directly from Jesus. Jesus started the Catholic church.
The reason why protestants cannot partake in the TRUE catholic Eucharist is because they do not believe that the bread and the wine is the body and blood of the Lord. The catholic church is the GUARDIAN of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, the catholic church listens to the WARNING in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body."
When you eat the bread you MUST be convinced 100% that it is the Lords body or else you will eat your own Judgement for not recognizing it as such. If you gather to eat simple bread and drink simple wine THEN DO IT IN YOUR HOMES 1 Corinthians 11:22 don't you have homes where you can eat bread and drink wine?
The Lord Jesus said it and his catholic church KEEP His doctrine John 6:48-60
AMEN
I think what the verse means is that if we are unworthy, the more we shd partake the holy communion because we need help .
Notice that yes we shd not partake in an ‘unworthy manner’ , the word unworthy is here being used as an adjective to describe the manner in which we drink , like being excessive n a drunkard , which is not respectful of the ceremony!
Note the difference .
@@hansreuben1 Watch the context, "For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body."
The bible is clear. When you eat the bread and drink the wine and you do not believe, discern, recognize, observer, discover, realize that it is the Lords body, then you eat judgement.
That is why 1 Corinthians 11:22 says that if you want to eat bread and drink wine then STAY AT HOME and eat simple bread and drink simple wine.
The Lord was clear when he spoke John 6:51 "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
AMEN
The catholic church is the guardian of Jesus doctrine! We believe Jesus for he is the way, the truth, and the life and nobody goes to the father except through him!
If anybody else teaches you otherwise, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, FOR THEY ARE NOT the way, the truth and the life.
If Jesus says that he is the bread and that the bread is his flesh, then that is the truth, for he is the truth.
If your pastor says that Jesus is the bread, but that the bread is not his flesh, then your pastor is a liar.
It is up to you, do you want to follow Jesus or your pastor? We Catholics are true Christians, we follow Jesus doctrine for he is the way, the truth, and the life!
John 6:53 "Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him."
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN
That is why 1 Corinthians 11:27 gives a strong warning, if you eat the bread without discerning the Lord's body, then you eat your own judgement!
For this reason protestant pastors tell you that what you are eating is just bread and it is! The bread that protestant pastors give you is simple bread. Only the catholic church of Jesus has the authority and the command from Jesus himself to DO the last super.
If you are a protestant and you eat bread in your congregation, then you are eating simple bread and you commit NO sin at all. BUT, BUT, BUT if you are a catholic or a protestant, and you go and eat the TRUE consecrated bread without believing that it is the Lords body, then you eat your own Judgement, because that bread has been consecrated by the one and only church that Jesus founded and what they are giving you is the truth, it is the Lords body and you are disregarding it as simple bread!
For this reason, the catholic church does not give communion to protestants because the catholic church does not want you to eat your own judgement just because you have been deceived by a lying pastor!
You must understand from the context it did not say the unworthy cannot partake in the holy communion. I can be unworthy but I discern the bread n the wine as the body n the wine as Jesus body n blood , so surely I’m qualified to partake .
It is only when I partake in a manner which is unworthy ( behavior wise , like being rowdy , excessive drinking) then , judgement will come upon me .
Again I must stress the ‘unworthy’ manner is an adjective to describe the manner in which one partake . It is NOT the same as taking it as an unworthy person !
If one is worthy then why partake !
@@hansreuben1 You have eyes and don't see. The bible is clear "For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body."
IT IS THE LORDS BODY!
Jesus himself said it John 6:53
That is why you protestants are not christian because you believe a man, a lying pastor instead of believing Jesus.
John 8:31 "Then Jesus said : “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed."
You protestants are not Christians because you do not abide in his word!
Hey Al. I always knew you were
fairly bright, but I never knew you

P.S. Without Christ, you are no match for The Prince of Darkness,

Bishop Barron response was compelling to me at first, but the question that Cameron asked him was in reference to whether or not non-Catholics can be saved. He was asking about why he cannot be included fully in the Eucharist in a Catholic Church as a non-Catholic, but then at the same time Catholics say that non-Catholics Can be saved outside of the Roman Catholic Church. I don’t think he actually answered that question.
Bishop Barron teaches universalism. He can deny it all he wants but he does depending on his audience.
Barron is one reason why I have avoided becoming Catholic
Cameron, have you ever read anything by G.K. Chesterton? If not, I wholeheartedly recommend you to do so. His book "Orthodoxy" is amazing. He was an anglican who became catholic.

@@truthsetsfree2672 “You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works” (Jas. 2:22). And then in verse 24 James concludes again, “A man is justified by works and not by faith alone.”
BrightyAlbo works are preordained by God Himself. Rahab had but one work. Who is to say He has not preordered as little as one good work in the entire life of a believer and they would even know when they had done it?
Pretty good video, I'm still solidly Protestant and its always been interesting to learn the point of view of others. Thanks for the more layman video here
One problem I had is someone who can be trying to find the truth and its lets say an atheist.
If he just has the Bible as reference and he converts, then he will call himself a Christian without any denomination.
Scripture is the living word of God and we should abide by it.
Catholic churches have some doctrines that are not the Bible.
Some catholics will say, "where in the Bible does it say to only follow scripture"
But to someone who has read the Bible and tries to follow Jesus Christ, would say something along the lines of:
"Thats only if you assume that the Bible (which is the living word of God) is not enough for salvation"
The Bible shows us the Gospel and what we must do. Everything that we need is in the Bible.
This division of Christianity bothers me.
People call themselves catholics or protestant or orthodox.
Before all of that we should call ourselves Christians and trust in Jesus Christ alone.
Stay safe my friend!
@@hopelove897 I absolutely agree to what you have stated here
I personally have longed for the day where I can see all Christians united under one banner without much of this whole division nonsense, heck even being Protestant is being the most 'dangerous' as it is the place where most of the 'false Gospel/Churches' are sprouting around left and right (eg: self declared 2nd Return of Jesus Christs preachers).
It is a great pity to see all this happened due to the political and abuse of power (Great Schism and Reformation).
Perhaps one day, if God permits, sometime in the future before Judgement Day, we will reunite to worship the Triune God together and no longer fracturing further into even more divisions.
I believe that only persecution will accomplish the unity we seek, and it will come in Tribulation.
Everybody thinks that the religion of their given corner of the world is the true religion. Everybody is right and wrong since nothing can be proven or disproven.
'Law of the Lord is written in the heart's of men'
This was a great video. I am new to the Catholic Church. I love experiencing Eucharist.

@@annapetra1441 God bless and welcome to the One Holy & Apostolic Church founded by Christ. Go and live the faith and others will be drawn to what you now have, the fullness of the Christian faith.
The "fullness of truth"...according to what? Certainly not according to Scripture.
Awesome
This was a really valuable exchange. Bishop Barron repping the church fantastically 👏🏻
I can be saved by following my conscience? What if my conscience is telling me to reject Christianity?
@Jason K. That would be the devil telling you.
Then you'd be disobeying natural law
It depends. If your conscience rejects Christ by no fault of your own then you still could be saved, because it's not your fault.
I wonder how could an atheist be saved because of his conscience, if it is precisely his conscience what led him to reject God.
@@franciscor.m.8003 An atheist who follows his conscience by rejecting Jesus will not be saved.
Yeah we got the Body & Blood of Christ! Thankyou Lord for your grace and mercy!
The one true church baby! Nothing like it.
Are there any Roman Catholics out there, that have an actual relationship with the Lord, and you KNOW you’re saved?
Meaning, two way actual communication.
Not necessarily voice communication; however, that can happen too.
I attend a small house church, we study our Bibles; and, put all our faith in Christ and what He did on the Cross, and His Holy Bible.
All of us have a two way communication with the Lord. All of us, KNOW, because we have been told (Communication) that we will be with the Lord in Heaven.
1 John 5:13
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.”
I ask the Roman Catholics:
1.) What are we doing wrong?
And
2.) Do any of you have an actual relationship with the Lord as defined above?
I Love being Catholic ❤️❤️❤️
How can Bishop Robert Barron reconcile the dogma that outside of the Church there is no salvation and what he has said, that it is possible for non-Catholics to be saved?
All any non-Catholic need do is to pray for God to show him which of the worlds religions is the True Religion and God will be happy to show them that it is the Catholic religion. (That's all that this ex-Methodist did.) If non-Catholics do not convert it is their own fault (ordinarily). If non-Catholics do not convert ot is because they have neither sought the truth nor prayed for it.
Jesus said, "ask, and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and the door shall be opened to you." If non-Catholics do not convert it is because they do not ask, seek, or knock.
@David Phillips There is a catch, salvation outside the True Church is impossible, because salvation is become securely and eternally part of the Church. If Christ assimilate someone became part of his body.
Didn’t he just answer that? One can become a member of the Church even if he doesn’t know it. So in that sense, such dogma holds true.
@David Phillips The baptized children do not know they are part of the church, but they are, so it is possible to be in the church and not know. Tough, if a protestatnt knows the truth and because their pride or negligence, do not look for truth I agree with you the might be condemed. Someone is condemed for the negligence not for what is outside their possibilities.
This is not my direct response to you. I’m on phone right now, so I’ll just quote my earlier comment and just read it as a response accordingly:
Have you not considered, instead of declaring the Pope and Bishops of Vatican II and those that believe in its teachings are heretical, that perhaps what appears as contradictions could be merely because of our limited understanding - that it is rather our fault. Ex: Maybe when reconciled with more recent teachings, par. 18 rejects the idea that Protestantism is another form true Christian religion (of course it is not, it lacks the fullness of Truth we can find in the Catholic Church and it is not the one Jesus Christ established) or that they are equally pleasing to God (they are not), and nothing more (I don’t see the inconsistency here that salvation is a possibility for some/many of them); or that in par. 17, “good hope” cannot be expected because yes, it would be salvation by “extraordinary means”; in fact, it neither contradicts the teaching that one CAN be part of the “true Church of Christ” even unknowingly; or that par. 15 is more on “reason” as opposed to faith; or that par. 16 perhaps meant that man cannot BY HIS OWN find salvation (even by observance of ANY religion esp. if non-Catholic) - emphasis on the word “any” which includes the Catholic Church to support this interpretation. I would rather not condemn our Popes, Bishops and other believers as heretical, and instead believe that the Holy Spirit continues to guide and protect the Church. The more recent teachings are also more in keeping with the concepts of humility (in not condemning others outright - we’re not God after all), mercy and love that the Bible stresses on and I daresay has put primacy on, particularly with respect to love. I pose this question as an example: How about an unbaptized child in a remote place without any opportunity at all to be introduced to the Catholic Church? Is he destined to eternal damnation? Or let’s even make him an adult. Still? I choose to believe on the infinite goodness and mercifulness of God. And I choose to believe that the Holy Spirit continues to guide and protect the Church, and that the Vatican II documents and the Catechism are something we should adhere to. Tbh, this “exclusivity” (that there can never be an “implied Catholic” for lack of a better term) shows pride and arrogance.
To be a Catholic, is to take Jesus' words seriously to the HEART. We understand people are incredulous, or maybe some don't know what Faith is, although people want to see prove; we have over 10,000 saints and one the contemporaries are St. Mother Teresa, St. Padre Pio ( His body is incorruptible to this day for people to see it) or people can read about the MIRACLES, especially the Eucharistic Miracles, or this one: In 1945 USA dropped 2 Nuclear Bombs to Japan, and each city, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, there was a Catholic church in each city; with their priest inside praying the Holy Rosary, and God spared these 2 churches with all those priest, that not even the radiation affected them, this was testified by 200 scientist. Another Miracle people can read about it is the MIRACLE OF THE MULE in 1223. The evidence is so overwhelming that we as Catholics have to share and instruct the works of the Holy Spirit, and please don't take Holy communion without proper preparation, meaning without the sacraments. People cannot take the Body and Blood of Jesus unworthily, otherwise they would be taking their own judgement, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29. We have to remember that Jesus left His Church and this church gave us the Holy Bible with 73 originals books. It is not the other way around.
I was raised Roman Catholic and left when I was 18yo. At 26yo I went to an Evangelical Church and am now a born-again bible-believing Christian who has been completely transformed. I know spend my time evangelising. I come across hundreds of secular people who identify as Catholic who have no idea about the Gospel and do not believe in many orthodox Christian teachings. From my personal experience for the size of the Catholic church and all the Catholic schools around the world it does not produce believing orthodox Christians.
I agree with you Sarah. The Catholic Church can become a great church in God's eyes if they return to the New testament canon as their anchor of Truth. They started well, just like the Galatians and just as Paul had to rebuke the Galatians they have fallen into the same error.
" OH foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been Evidently set forth, Crucified among you?
...did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the SPIRIT, ARE you Now attempting to become perfect in the Flesh?" (Galatians 3:1-3).
The difference with the Galatians is that they fell back on the O.T. rituals that had been fulfilled in Christ.
The problem with the R.C church is that they fell forward into new practices invented by the papacy as the centuries drifted away from the New Testament Church and the earlier church fathers. Somehow the medeival popes was able to convince them that their Words were on the same par with Scripture and the Avalanche began.
But I encourage you to be faithful, fulfil the work of an evangelist and pray for our fellow catholics to return to the purity of the Gospel.
Same here. Raised Roman Catholic but God convicted me about many things regarding it. I used to be proud of the Church and it’s history but now I see it as something that could identify apart from the Gospel. Which isn’t good.
