For the first half, I was like "What is this man talking about?" and I wondered if I trusted him at all. For the second half, I recognized he was speaking truth, helping the converted understand the evil of redefinition of terms -- as he says you can't redefine the words Christ, or grace, or justification, and expect to get the same result -- redefinition of terms is evil, and he clarifies this more and more as his talk progresses. Worth listening to!
Catholicism hasn't really redefined the catholic meaning may of these words. Their meaning to them is consistent with their unchanging doctrine. The Catholic Church no longer "woos" protestants back to the "Mother Church" by trying to convince them that their doctrine is unsound, or that it is the ultimate Christian authority. Rather the meeting place is over those themes which we appear to held in common. since Vatican 2 the Christian experience of worship and feelings is the common ground. The protestant emergent church movement is the measure of their success. In that movement doctrine (the teachings of the bible) account for very little. Worship experience is all. Some word do seem to have changed their meaning however, such as what is sin? There seems to be a move away from personal accountability for wrongdoing toward a corporate definition of sin. So if a company or a country for example ignores its responsibility to look after the environment, the company or country is in "sin" and we all suffer the consequence. In that we lose sight of the efficacy of the blood of Jesus to forgive and rescue us from harmful wrong habits - sin.
Charismatic and Pentecostal movements have just been misleading false doctrines of the Christian faith...The vatican has done nothing for the Christian Faith but mislead 100's of millions of people away from Christ and right into hell !!
I think that the reason the first part was so confusing is that he was using the words that the Catholic clergy use, which are by nature / intent confusing. The last part was given as an interpretation of the double speak.

The Catholic Church quite simply switched the mode of how they "tickle the ear" because they realized they could no longer rule through the rod and fear. The Bible being available to all brought that about because they could no longer suppress the Gospel and hide in secrecy the Word of God. As for me I will continue to put my faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God the Father, (the Trinity or Triune God, the One and Only), who loved me so much He gave His only begotten for me as for us all. I have always found popes and many other things to be off to me in some way when I here them speak or read any of their writings and this most recent one really sets off the alarms. I'm sorry to my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ and I pray their eyes and ears are opened but I can rest in knowing that if they are His and continue to read and earnestly study scripture they will eventually be woken up by the Holy Spirit, (our comforter, guardian and teacher until Christ's return). Take care and God Bless...
Dont feel sorry for us. History, the good AND the bad tells the whole story. The Bible’s availability to all came through the Catholic/Orthodox church, unless you can show otherwise something different than this… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
I know old people who were kids before Vatican 2 who were told not to read the Bible by the nuns in the school. I feel this did change after Vatican 2, or at least formally and prolifically changed.

@@srich7503 Read the entire comments as the 25,000 plus digs alone refute your statement of the RCC being the only ones to pass on Scripture and the Scriptures themselves reveal the blaspheme of the RCC. I've left another post as well that dives deep into that blaspheme in this thread. All I can do is proclaim truth with love what happens to that seed is between you and our Lord. The reason I believe in the God of the Bible, the inerrancy of Scripture and that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. We have a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report super natural events that took place in fulfilment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are via divine inspiration and not from men alone. The super natural events are important in that they show the divine nature of God. Jesus Christ cast out demons, healed the sick, blind, deaf, dumb and paralyzed, walked on water, fed thousands with little, and was resurrected all of which have eyewitness accounts. The feedings alone were witnessed by the thousands He fed on the two separate occasions that we are told of in the Gospels. John tells us that there were many more miracles than what are recorded in the Bible/Gospels and that it would have filled volumes of books upon books were he to have written them all down and that it would have taken more than one lifetime to do so. The claim that men wrote the Bible so it can not be true means that no other book ever written should be believed, no matter the topic as they're all written by man. The Bible is not just a book it is a collection of books which are linked together by One Divine Author. In this collection of books there are over 40 authors but only one Devine Author, (the Holy Spirit), who links them all together over a period of 1500+ years for the New Testament alone. Those authors wrote down His inspired Word given to them by God. 66 Volumes/Books in the Bible. The bulk of the New Testament was written over a period of around 50 years. It was in 49 AD to 53 AD when the Scripture writings of the New Testament are thought to have begun. With the last living Apostle John dying in 100 AD. Over a period of around 1500 years it was preserved and passed on: In 3 Languages On 3 Continents There are 66,360+ source documents that have been found for the entire Bible of which there are 24,360 and counting source documents for the New Testament alone. 5,839 in the original Greek, some 2 million pages 18,524 translations of that Greek into other languages Some of the oldest sources date to 125AD which is within decades of the completion of all the books that were canonized as the New Testament. The New Testament cannon, (Gospels of the Apostles/writings, Epistles/letters to the early Churches, all sources and eyewitness accounts that were to be included), was decided at the Synod of Carthage in 397 AD. Those asking for "Scientific Proof" about the Bible are either ignorant or asking with evil intent. An intelligent person knows that the scientific method can not be applied to verify the Bible. Scientific Method is: 1) Has to be observable. 2) Has to be measurable. 3) Has to be repeatable. Therefore no history can ever be proven via scientific method. You must use the historical method based on: Eyewitnesses accounts. Documents from the time or as close as possible. Make sure the story is corroborated by as many sources as possible. Look for anyone/anything that attempted to prove any of it false in that time period or as close to it as possible. Did anyone successfully prove any of it untrue? If they had/have why is there no record found anywhere of it ever being disproven? Luke = Historian A man of science, a physician, an educated and logical man who researched and gathered the accounts of eyewitnesses. He recorded the actual eyewitness accounts of our Lord and Savior, those who had heard Him speak and were present/saw the signs/miracles He performed. He did this because the life of those eyewitnesses were coming to an end due to age and he was inspired to write them down via the Holy Spirit before they could be lost or perverted by time. John = Evangelist John is organized around 7 specific events/signs/miracles all seen by eyewitnesses and corroborated by many. So he also provides proof of accuracy/truth. Mark = The shortest of the Gospels and is very direct or "Just the Facts" if you like. Mathew = Was written to the Jewish audience and that's one of the reasons for the extensive genealogy of Christ. There are also more references to the Old Testament in his gospel compared to the others.
Peter = He lays out all the proof for the Bible and it's accuracy in 1 Peter Chapter 1. He makes the arguments that justify it all as truly what happened and that it all happened as recorded in the Gospel/New Testament, the entire Bible. All of the Apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus and/or of the resurrected Christ. Including Paul whom Jesus came to as he was on the road traveling to Damascus to persecute more Christians. This would have been the resurrected Christ or a form of Him that came from Heaven. There were at least 300 eyewitnesses still alive when Corinthians was written who could have disputed it but no one did. Mathias became the 12th Apostles after Judas hung himself so the argument of there not being 12 Apostles comes from ignorance or evil intent. There have been over 25,000 archeological digs in which there has been absolutely no evidence found that proves anything in the entire Bible false but in those digs many things have been found that prove it true. This is one such video in which archeological evidence that has been found adds to the veracity of Scripture, the video is "The Archaeology of Jerusalem with Ton Meyer". We don't need finds such as these to know that the Word of God is true but out of His love for us He's preserved and allowed them to be found. This video is on the "Institute from Creation Research" channel and is just one of many they have that proves the Bible true. Other cultures and non believer's historical documents show or corroborate people, places, wars and many things that are in the Bible. Yet none of them prove any of it to be false, in stead they have strengthened it. Word for Word Translations prove just how accurate what we have is when you consider there's no way anyone could have falsified any of it, be it via intent or mistakes. Many church fathers in history have made extensive notes that include scripture throughout the centuries and no matter the time or place all those references to scripture corroborate each other. Which shows just how accurate translations have been throughout time and still are as long as they maintain a word for word ideology during the translation. To falsify any of it they would have to change every single source, do it in three languages, on three continents, over a span of thousands of years, with no one catching any of it, no one ever talking about what they'd done, leaving behind no traces that they'd done it. Not to mention they'd have to steal all of those sources to change them, changing them would be a massive undertaking considering they were hand written in those times and then put them back without ever being seen or caught during the entire process. My last statement is this: Simply put the Bible can defend itself like a lion just let it loose. (Use Scripture to defend Scripture because it is a collection of eyewitness accounts that has been proven true again and again). You must know that God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, that although He hates the sin, He loves the repentant sinner. If people will just come to Him and repent in their heart of hearts of all their sins, and proclaim Him as their Savior, their Lord, the Son of GOD. Just look around, you know time is growing short. So I beg you don't waste another second as we know the Rapture will occur in the twinkling of an eye. Maranatha!!! There's a very good movie titled "The God Who Speaks" that covers much of what I've said above. If you still have doubt I would recommend you watch it and even if you don't because it was very well made and presented. Take care and God Bless
Finally! I have been praying to God for an answer as to what is going on in today's Catholic Church. This is was so clear and insightful. I stand firmer now in my prayers and position in this topic.
Although Vatican II does indeed speak in lofty language with regard to our "separated brethren", but in reality, in local parish churches, Catholic church is implementing Vatican II very slowly if at all, that has been my experience. There still remains a distinct difference between RC and Protestants, and that is the imputed righteousness of Christ through faith alone, which Rome will never accept.
Not prophetic, it's a hateful speech doing nothing but causing division in Christ's church. I say this as a Protestant. Roman Catholics are Christians and allies with us in spreading the Gospel.

As a Protestant, I want to say that I have a deep admiration for my brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church. Don't listen to these men who are preaching division in the body of Christ. We all share one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
We actually do not. The Roman Catholic Church "anathemetized" the Gospel of Justification by Faith in the Council of Trent nearly 500 years ago. Are you saved by faith alone through grace alone in Christ alone or are you saved by faith AND works? Are you saved by Christ alone or by Christ through the Roman Catholic Church? We cannot plaster over this chasm as though it doesn't exist. When Protestants speak of Justification, we speak of what God declares us to be, utterly outside of works. We literally do not believe in the same things. Which Gospel do you believe in?

Both Protestant and Roman Catholics agree that we don't work our way into heaven, but it is by the grace of God through faith in Christ that we are saved. We both also agree that faith without works is dead. So we do share the same gospel, although our wording may be slightly different. But this should not divide us.
@@brendonpremkumar8207 - and yet, what canon laws are they bound to? Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema. Canon 11. If anyone says that men are justified either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ or by the sole remission of sins, to the exclusion of the grace and the charity which is poured forth in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, and remains in them, or also that the grace by which we are justified is only the good will of God, let him be anathema. Canon 14. If anyone says that man is absolved from his sins and justified because he firmly believes that he is absolved and justified, or that no one is truly justified except him who believes himself justified, and that by this faith alone absolution and justification are effected, let him be anathema. Canon 30. If anyone say that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out ... that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged ... before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema.
Romans 16:17-18 ESV I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
What is this division the apostle speaks of, do you think? Was the apostle disregarding this when he called out vehemently against false teachers and the wolves who came into the churches? Do not be deceived. 2 Timothy 4.
2Thess 2:3-4: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Revelation 13:4-10: And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 2Thess 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Revelation 13 is about the Roman Empire that was persecuting the Catholic Christian Church ..... and 2 Thessalonians is not critical of the Holy Catholic Church ..... This vidio is quite poor in many places. "Much has changed over time with Catholicism" No, the main basics remain unchanged. The Council of Trent was designed to say what Catholics believed in response to the misinformation and lies told against Catholicism. Before Vatican I many converted to Catholicism --- Bishops in the C of England Church John Henry Newman etc the challenges changed over time and the Councils responded as appropriate. Before Vatican II we had the Belgium Catholic priest in 1922 who was also a physicist - Came up with the big bang theory... The Church has encouraged science.... No council opposed or overturned findings from a previous council. ......... When you get to know Catholicism as opposed to the lies of the hate preachers as we see in this video ... you become Catholic .... like the two Church of England Bishops one in April and one today 8th September 2022 who left status wealth and widespread respect to get closer to God in HIS Catholic Church ......... Those with a poor understanding drift away from Catholicism ....... the intelligent who are devoted to God come to his church........iJesus told the crowd that the Eucharist is “food that endures for eternal life” (Jn 6:27). Jesus himself is the Bread of Life (Jn 6:35, 48), the bread that came down from heaven (Jn 6:41,51). Jesus further explained, “My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink” (Jn 6:55), and that “whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life (Jn 6:54). After the resurrection, Jesus shared two eucharistic encounters with his disciples. On Easter Sunday night in Emmaus, when Jesus was at the table with Cleopas and another disciple, Jesus “took bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them” (Lk 24:30). When Jesus appeared to his disciples at the Sea of Galilee, he was on the shore near “a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread” (Jn 21:9), and he “came over and took the bread and gave it to them” (Jn 21:13). Jesus asked his disciples to reenact the Eucharist when he instructed them, “Do this in memory of me” (Lk 22:19; see also 1 Cor 11:24, 25), and the early Church followed his instructions when they devoted themselves “to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42; see also 2:46 and 20:7, 11).
49 I have come to set the world on fire and I wish it were already burning. 50 I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished. 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace on Earth? NO, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against-- or two in favor and three against. 53 Father will be divided against son and against Father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother and mother in law against daughter-in-law And daughter-in-law against mother in law. 54 Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said when you see clouds beginning to form in the West you say here comes a shower and you are right. 55 When the South wind blows you say today will be a scorcher and it is. 56 You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the Earth and sky but you don't know how to interpret the present times. Luke 12:49-5
Well, but why then you are dependent from priests and their mess? Why then you need "good works" for your salvation? Good works are a RESULT of Salvation! Rome teaches a false Gospel out of the pit of hell.
Today the world and the RCC are in lock step. ^ Down v Up but you cannot redefine the Word of God, for it is the truth. Humanism tries to redefine words, but God says, my Word is truth. By proper definition it means what it says, and mankind will be judged by the standard, the Word of God, and people will go to one of two places, based on that alone. On that day the SOVEREIGN JUDGE will say, "What did I say?", end of story! Simple, but the world and the RCC complicate everything causing ciaos, confusion and unrest. To know the Word is to know the mind of God and the true way to Salvation. The world, false religions and the false churches are all under the same condemnation. Excellent presentation, thank God for raising up men of truth.
only the false sola scriptura doctrine creates chaos, confusion and redefining the Word of God that is why protestantism is divided to 40K+ cults and sects, the bottomless pit of heresy
Here's a thought: if Jesus says to his disciples, "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 5:20 (ESV)), perhaps if our doctrine becomes legally correct, but cold and loveless, then we are also missing the Kingdom where Jesus reigns. Correct doctrine? Amen! Let's not compromise. Is doctrine enough? No! Intellectual faith needs real love, or it's just a clanging bell. Saving faith results in a real fellowship with Jesus, "1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life - 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us - 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. 1 Jn 1:1-4 (ESV)"
I am sure he did, for he showed the contrasts between what God's Word says and what the RCC teaches. When you "know" the Word, the counterfeit is obvious. Better to be listening to Jesus, than to Pope Francis, as the bible says, "the blind lead the blind into a pit". Eve said, "the serpent deceived me", but she was without excuse and was condemned. Why, because she went her own way and disregarded the Word God gave to her and her husband. The same fate awaits those who, "are wise in their own eyes, yet became fools, because they followed sinful, defiled men and not the Word of God.
@@gordoncrawley5826 You don't know the word. Your religion is founded on a demented priest with daddy issues. Jesus Christ founded and made the Catholic Church. And outside of which there is no salvation.
The false doctrine of purgatory, has misled untold millions. Christ’s completed work completely saves. Christ + nothing = eternal salvation. Glorify be to our Saviour.
Purgatory does not contradict the dogma that Christ completed the redemption of mankind. Nowhere do we believe ot teach this. If you want to talk about Catholicism, actually know what it teaches.
@@thepalegalilean This is good to know, perhaps we as Protestants have been misled on this point. Just to be clear, Purgatory is NOT a place deceased believers go to be completely cleansed of their venial faults/sins before going to heaven, correct?
@@anthonyb27 And this is where distinctions have to be made. Is purgatory isn't a separate place from heaven or hell where sin is purged. It's better to define purgatory as a process rather than a place. The finished work of Christ does indeed forgive all sin, But that sin also stains your soul. And purgatory is that which purges the stains of sin from you. The finished work of Christ is complete. That sin is forgiven and isn't being held against you. Yet the punishment and separation from that sins remain.
@@thepalegalilean I can't claim to have memorized the entire bible, but can you give me any references to support this doctrine? If not, does this come from other sources?
At the outset, De Chirico's lecture sounds great and enlightening. But in the middle, he begins to sound suspicious of the Roman Catholic Church. He's actually very sectarian and anti RCC. Being an ecumenical and reformational evangelical myself, I actually see and experience the exact opposite of what he's saying here. A lot of Catholics I know don't care about their dogmas anymore. In one survey I know, 70% of Catholics don't believe in transubstantiation. They don't read Vatican 2 and their catechism. They actually want to learn from other Christian traditions. They're actually friendly, if not envious, of evangelical and liberal Protestants because their clergy can marry 😆. They actually admire evangelical Protestants. A Jesuit seminary here in the Philippines actually employs evangelical scholars to teach their seminarians and students. By the way, proud evangelical Protestant pastor here. Proud of what I'm actually learning in the ecumenical movements here in my country. 💜 Just saying. Coram Deo. 🙏
The fact is, that Roman Catholics and Protestants are both Christians and have way more in common than this De Chirico guy likes to think. I personally hope that more unity can come between theologically conservative Protestants and Roman Catholics.
@@brendonpremkumar8207unity between Catholics and Protestants can only exist between the Catholic Church and the historic conservative Protestant churches such as the Lutheran, Anglican and Reformed churches.
@@Jencky-zk8ps I definitely agree that historic Protestants are closer to Catholics than the evangelicals are. But conservative evangelicals also have commonalities with them, such as the Trinity, the atonement, the resurrection, and the divine inspiration of the Bible. And they would agree with Catholics on traditional family values and sexual ethics. As for me, I am just a conservative Lutheran who is hopeful about reunification with Rome one day.
He does not seem to understand the underlying process of the Catholic Church Vatican Councils and great councils do not make changes but focus on what is the current issues ... So a Catholic Priest in Belgium who was also a physicist in the 1920's came up with the big bang theory 40 years before the recognition in Vatican II
The problem he left everyone with was that he talks about 3000 evangelicals coming to a meeting in Rome to celebrate their faith in the bible alone ... That led 500 years ago into what Martin Luther did not want He wanted one church - protestant - in each country Not a free for all with thousands of versions of what the bible is !!
Ahhh yes, the many denominations argument. Where is the trinity in the Bible? Well let me say we have spring, summer, fall, winter which we call seasons. The same goes for the trinity, we have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit which we call trinity.
the 382AD bible was a 73 book bible in the council of Rome under Pope Damasus. The 66 book Protectant bible was not created until 1550. From 382 until1455 (invention of the printing press) there were no books for the common man to read, besides man was illiterate for 1500 years. For 1,000 years Catholic monks copied the bible word for word by hand.
@@vincecousino1569 what did Jesus mean when He told men whoevers sins you forgive they're forgiven? Where in the Bible is praying to saints forbidden? That's interesting you graduated from a Catholic school but im forced to note that your answer to my question is "i dont know". Well, if you were Catholic and/or spent time around Catholics and aren't aware that Catholics do indeed confess Jesus Christ as Lord and the world's only savior - then you're going to have to either riconsider your answer or provide an exegetical definition of some kind as to what "call on the name of the Lord means". ..or you can stick with my presumed definition. But that would render a problem since that would mean that Catholics can be saved and that many probably are. Just let me know. Lastly, if you think this text teaches faith alone-then can you show that exactly where in this text does it teach that a one time regeneration granting the believer to process faith in the imputed forensic alien righteousness of Christ is guaranteed heaven with absolute certainty. Where does this text teach that? I think your wisest choice is to change your answer from "I don't know" to "yes". Then feel free to carry onward with additional argumentation.
For Pope Frsncis ,"human proximity is more important than theological integrity" and "warmth ,than light". That sounds appropriate for a PP desling with a lost soul short term than a popes reponsibility to a global church. Sounds dangerous as a papal policy. Integtity and the light should never be sidelined in a pontificate.
Nowhere in Catholicism does it say Catholics have to appease a tyrannical God ... If you make things up about Catholicism to knock it down you are countering your own imagination not Catholicism !!
In the last eighteen months three Church of England Bishops have given up so much material wealth and status to convert to the Catholic Church in order to get closer to Christ btw all three come from different parts of the country and came to the realisation independently. Pope Francis is calling all to come to Christ in HIS Catholic Church .. The aim of salvation for all humankind.
I'm Catholic, but I used to be Reformed. The speaker is wrong when he said Vatican 2 was the first council that did not define any dogma. Actually there were councils in the middle ages that did not define any dogma. Its rare in church history, but it did acccur before Vatican 2.
As a Catholic I applaud the information presented in this video. Job well done. Droves of Evangelicals are coming into the Catholic Church precisely because they are discovering the Truth of the Catholic Church through videos like this that bring awareness to those that otherwise would not be open to hearing what the Church teaches. Faith coupled with works is what the Church teaches in the Bible. Grace coupled with the Sacraments is what the Church teaches in the Bible. Christ coupled with the Church is what the Church teaches in the Bible. While it is true that Vatican II may have repackaged the content, be reassured that the content is the same nevertheless. The True Bible has not changed in two millennia, nor has Catholic doctrine, however, with every shade of Protestantism comes a new shade of unbiblical doctrines. If you want to prove this out, then just try to find one single unique Protestant doctrine anywhere in the entire Bible. It can't be done. Try to separate Faith form works, it can't be done. Try to separate Grace from the Sacraments, it can't be done. Try to separate Christ from His Church, it can't be done. Not Biblically speaking anyway. To create a separation between any of these is to create Protestantism.
Would you mind kindly help me understand what does Paul means here regarding what is the criteria God uses to justify a sinner? Faith OR Faith + Works? Thank you and God Bless! Romans 3:20 (ESV) 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 3:28 (ESV) 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 4:4-5 (ESV) 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 11:6 (ESV) 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Galatians 2:16 (ESV) 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
@@jamescgl007 To be perfectly honest with you, those verses used to set me back some until I started reading in a different light. I wasn't always Catholic but I always believed in God. I was not attached to any denomination and I didn't ever have any understandings of what each denomination believed and taught. Then I began evaluating all of the arguments that are made available on the different youtube channels. So whatever I share with you is what I have learned from others, I have no original thoughts or arguments. Here is what I have learned. All of the verses that you quoted about works were written by Paul who was a Bishop in the Catholic Church and he was writing to the Catholic Church in Rome, and the Catholic Church in Galatia and Ephesus among others. The people in those Churches were not unbelievers but they were people that already heard the Gospel and believed and they had already entered into the Church before Paul even wrote those letters. How did they enter into the Church without ever reading the Letters that Paul wrote? For that answer we have to go back to the beginning of the Christian story. When I read Acts chapter two and weighed everything that Paul wrote against what happened on that day then many things began to come into focus. Acts chapter 2 is the very beginning of the Church history. Maybe you can read that chapter and and then you may find the answer to your question just as I did. Was it by faith alone that those people were saved or was it by faith plus baptism? If you are like me then when you see the answer you will be amazed. There are better people than me at explaining these things but I will be glad to share what I have learned. I hope this helps a little.
You sound like a Protestant 😂. Ok you are wrong. I find it ironic when you say “unbiblical” when you don’t believe in the Bible alone, but you add to it such as Mary, confession to priests, purgatory etc. ah and yes, the Bible interprets itself and btw there is no Aramaic Bible.
@@frederic2796Also calling them the Catholic Church in Galatia is a stretch. Why doesn’t Paul say “Greetings to the Catholic Church of….” And you totally missed the point of what the speaker said. Of course you view from the Catholic lens.
@@frederic2796were you saved before becoming Catholic? I feel many Catholics have the wrong view of what the church really is. Not saying that Protestants know it well either
Some interesting observations, especially on the church councils but also lots of very vague and baseless judgements. Attempting to undermine traditional / Orthadox / Catholic Church history and teaching, he unwittingly devalues his own Christian tradition also. He devalues and demolishes Christianity itself. He risks damage and injury to his own belief also. Like a builder trying to demolish a house while he is still in it… The vast majority of what this man believes was passed on to him down the ages from Catholic tradition. Even the Bible itself was codified at some of the early church councils so by trying to undermine some other church council teachings, he opens the door to (legitimate and logical) attacks on his own teachings such as the Triune Nature of God, the Humanity Divinity and nature of Christ and even the very need for the redemptive work of Christ at all. All things that the Church intellectually and theologically fought for against secular ages past. I’d recommend bearing that in mind while viewing…
I heard this man in Germany last year talking a lot of wrong things about the Catholic Apostolic Church. I love this church so much with all my heart and hearing this man is heart 💔 breaking. I felt insulted several times. The Catholic Church is MAGNIFICENT and the way I heard you talking about her man, is greatly upsetting. Can’t even hear your voice anymore.
@@gwendaallsworth1575 you do the TRUE Gospel of Christ? So you’re nearly a Saint, congratulations. The Gospels are read in every single Mass along with the Holy Eucharist, you can go to confession every single day/ week so, no one else is practicing more the Gos than a true Catholic.
@@gwendaallsworth1575 the treasure is the Holy Church that Jesus Christ instituted under Peter. Who ordained many Bishops, those who carry the apostolic succession allowing Jesus Christ to operate in this world through their hands.
@@suzanadkjesuscristoteama286 Neither Peter nor Paul founded the Church at Rome, for there were Christians in the city before either of the Apostles set foot there. Nor can we assume, as Irenaeus did, that the Apostles established there a succession of bishops to carry on their work in the city, for all the indications are that there was no single bishop at Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the Apostles. In fact, wherever we turn, the solid outlines of the Petrine succession at Rome seem to blur and dissolve. (Saints and Sinners, pg 2.) Eamon Duffy
@@Adam-ue2ig are you saying that the apostles do not have any successors? The apostles died and along with them their faith, that the apostolic faith is a dead faith?

@26:08 I heard those deceptive words again... faith alone, the Bible alone. But the Catholics are not concerned...why??? Because legionnaire read the Bible and comes out with his own version and establish their own authority, and disagree with the Calvinist who also read the Bible and have different interpretations and goes to the Arminians who reads the Bible also and interpret it differently and etc...etc...a long and unending list who believe in sola scriptura but never agree on the actual application of the gospel... And the worst part of it, everyone of them is boasting with one another as the true believer in Christ....❤️❤️❤️
Catholic here. Overall a decent presentation, but several errors that need correcting: 1) there is no Catholic doctrine that is anti-biblical. Extra-biblical, yes, but not anti-biblical. Huge difference. 2) Catholicism does not believe that good works lead to salvation, that is false. We believe God’s grace works in us to produce saving faith, that manifests good works. Huge difference. 3) the Church after Vatican II has become more open…that’s a good thing. But it has not changed its position on the unity of the Church and Christ. Why would it? Christ founded the Church, that is a truth that cannot change. 4) faith alone is NEVER written in scripture, that is a Protestant construct. Sola scriptura is never written in the Bible, the Bible never claims to be the sole source of truth. Christ founded a Church who wrote the Bible…not the other way around. The core Traditions of the Church predate the canonization of the Bible, and are just as valid as scripture. Your predecessors choice to abandon the Church inevitably led to having nothing but the Bible to rely on, which if that’s all you have then of course you think the Bible is the only authority. Except now you have a mess of 30,000 different denominations, all with their own mini-Pope who thinks they know best. And don’t fool yourself, you all have your own traditions too…forms of governance, TULIP, westminster confession, etc. 5) the Church has not changed its position on justification and sanctification. We are justified by God’s grace through faith in Christ. Most Protestants see salvation as just saying the sinners prayer and you’re done. But we believe our faith is strengthened and purified through ongoing sanctification. The sacraments are graces for us, not mechanisms to control us. Yes there are big differences between Catholics and Protestants, and there always will be. But we are not light years apart. We both believe in salvation by grace through faith in Christ. You need to stop framing Catholicism as your enemy. The true enemy is atheism and liberal modernist Protestant churches who don’t even believe the Bible is inerrant.
While I appreciate your measured reply to this video, it seems there are mistaken characterizations on both sides. I've often heard Catholic apologists assume theological chaos in Protestantism by the regurgitation of the 30,000 denomination charge. The simple fact is that orthodox Protestants, regardless of label, are bound by the essentials of the faith as delineated in the Scriptures. To that end, what good is it to have a central teaching magisterium if the majority of the Catholic hierarchy is apostate? That is not my charge but one made by Catholic para-church organizations. Do you now see how important is the preeminence of Scripture? It corrects the Church when she strays from the Gospel.
I'm a Protestant and I agree with you. All Christians, whether Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox, share Jesus Christ as their Lord. We are all equally committed to sharing the Gospel with the world. Don't listen to these men who are promoting division among us.
He should love all people. Furthermore: Wealth can be a sign of God's grace. Pope Francis is a hidden socialist and should be exposed as such. And don't forget: As pope he is Antichrist.
How can you call yourself a Christian and then equate another group of Christians to the devil? That's wrong and ungodly! I pray you repent of this falsehood.
@Steve-nm9qy - Do you tell everyone your Bible came from the devil? History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Yeah, this De Chirico guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He says that Vatican 2 started to allow theistic evolution, when in reality it was allowed before Vatican 2. Pope Pius XII allowed it to be believed in 1950, with his encyclical Humani Generis.
As always, a misrepresentation of the Catholic Church. This church you criticize so much is the only one founded by Jesus Christ himself. Your church can never claim that, probably only a few hundred years old.

Chirico is a big fat liar, he do not understand the beauty of this amazing church called Catholic and is fooling many along with him. But my heart has peace. The divine justice arrives to everyone. I hope the Holy Spirit bring you back home one day, you do not need to waste your time online telling me to read my Bible brother, did you tell any pagan today to do it as well? Spend your time telling the real people that need evangelisation to read The Bible. But as you told me i can also tell you, reread yourself a Catholic Bible (not the one that Luther added words and deleted books) in communion with the Mother Church. As endless ex-protestants did (like Scott Hahn for example) and, with God’s Grace, became Catholics ❤️ do not follow the example of Luther, anti-Catholics, “Be a sinner and sin boldly, [...]” follow Jesus Christ and his church “go and do not sin anymore” Thanks 🙏 to make me even more Catholic ✝️❤️ Hail Mary Most Holy, Jesus Christ have mercy on us all.
@@khappy1286 “My flesh is true food", says the Lord, "and my blood is true drink". Here, the Lord offers himself to us as the food that will make the germ of eternal life, which was planted in us at Baptism, grow and mature little by little, according to our cooperation and docility to Grace, until we arrive (by God’s will) to the fullness of heavenly bliss: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
@@khappy1286 The Bible itself clearly says that the Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15) “but in case I should be delayed, I want you to know how people ought to behave in God's household -- that is, in the Church of the living God, pillar and support of the truth.” Through Church History we can clearly see its transcendence and divinity. No human institution has survived so many coups, persecutions, martyrdoms, humiliations and carnage for 2000 thousand years. One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church❤️

Bible believing protestants who love Jesus become Roman Catholic everyday, praise God! Jesus founded One Church, not 35,000 denominations in the US alone. Read Jn chapter 6! "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me." Jesus teaches we remain in Him by partaking the Holy Eucharist! By the way, this guy is soo boring. Listen to Scot Hahn, Robert Baron, Edward Sri, Marcus Grodi.
Well, Christ taught us that we would be known by our fruits, and to love our enemies. So, knowing this, how did the Catholic Church respond to those who professed concerns with corruption and false doctrines at the time? Did they produce good fruit and feed their "enemies" with patience and peace? No. They responded by murdering thousands of people in the years to come. That is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit. That was proof that the Reformers had a legitimate reason to reform in the first place. Had the reformers been wrong, the RCC would've responded much differently, but their response revealed just how far the RCC had fallen from Christ's teachings. Should there be 35,000 denominations? No. Should there be any denominations? No, and the Catholic Church is responsible for this as well. Had it self reflected and humbled itself, then it would've listened to the complaints of their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and they would've improved where it was needed and they would've prevented further separation. But they didn't, and instead chose to brand those who questioned them as heretics and slaughtered them too. Again, not the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
@@loremaster234 I realize this is a bit late but that is one of the best arguments I've heard that exposes the destructive nature of the RCC.

For the first half, I was like "What is this man talking about?" and I wondered if I trusted him at all.
For the second half, I recognized he was speaking truth, helping the converted understand the evil of redefinition of terms -- as he says you can't redefine the words Christ, or grace, or justification, and expect to get the same result -- redefinition of terms is evil, and he clarifies this more and more as his talk progresses. Worth listening to!
Catholicism hasn't really redefined the catholic meaning may of these words. Their meaning to them is consistent with their unchanging doctrine. The Catholic Church no longer "woos" protestants back to the "Mother Church" by trying to convince them that their doctrine is unsound, or that it is the ultimate Christian authority. Rather the meeting place is over those themes which we appear to held in common. since Vatican 2 the Christian experience of worship and feelings is the common ground. The protestant emergent church movement is the measure of their success. In that movement doctrine (the teachings of the bible) account for very little. Worship experience is all. Some word do seem to have changed their meaning however, such as what is sin? There seems to be a move away from personal accountability for wrongdoing toward a corporate definition of sin. So if a company or a country for example ignores its responsibility to look after the environment, the company or country is in "sin" and we all suffer the consequence. In that we lose sight of the efficacy of the blood of Jesus to forgive and rescue us from harmful wrong habits - sin.

Thank you this is excellent. Please Lord wake us up? Maranatha Lord.
The Catholic Church quite simply switched the mode of how they "tickle the ear" because they realized they could no longer rule through the rod and fear.
The Bible being available to all brought that about because they could no longer suppress the Gospel and hide in secrecy the Word of God.
As for me I will continue to put my faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God the Father, (the Trinity or Triune God, the One and Only), who loved me so much He gave His only begotten for me as for us all.
I have always found popes and many other things to be off to me in some way when I here them speak or read any of their writings and this most recent one really sets off the alarms.
I'm sorry to my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ and I pray their eyes and ears are opened but I can rest in knowing that if they are His and continue to read and earnestly study scripture they will eventually be woken up by the Holy Spirit, (our comforter, guardian and teacher until Christ's return).
Take care and God Bless...
Dont feel sorry for us. History, the good AND the bad tells the whole story. The Bible’s availability to all came through the Catholic/Orthodox church, unless you can show otherwise something different than this…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
I know old people who were kids before Vatican 2 who were told not to read the Bible by the nuns in the school. I feel this did change after Vatican 2, or at least formally and prolifically changed. I think the subscriber you responded to does have a valid point about Rome realizing they couldn’t fear monger anymore and being forced to adopt a sort of can’t beat ‘em then join em strategy.

The reason I believe in the God of the Bible, the inerrancy of Scripture and that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
We have a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report super natural events that took place in fulfilment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are via divine inspiration and not from men alone.
The super natural events are important in that they show the divine nature of God.
Jesus Christ cast out demons, healed the sick, blind, deaf, dumb and paralyzed, walked on water, fed thousands with little, and was resurrected all of which have eyewitness accounts.
The feedings alone were witnessed by the thousands He fed on the two separate occasions that we are told of in the Gospels.
John tells us that there were many more miracles than what are recorded in the Bible/Gospels and that it would have filled volumes of books upon books were he to have written them all down and that it would have taken more than one lifetime to do so.
The claim that men wrote the Bible so it can not be true means that no other book ever written should be believed, no matter the topic as they're all written by man.
The Bible is not just a book it is a collection of books which are linked together by One Divine Author. In this collection of books there are over 40 authors but only one Devine Author, (the Holy Spirit), who links them all together over a period of 1500+ years for the New Testament alone. Those authors wrote down His inspired Word given to them by God.
66 Volumes/Books in the Bible.
The bulk of the New Testament was written over a period of around 50 years. It was in 49 AD to 53 AD when the Scripture writings of the New Testament are thought to have begun. With the last living Apostle John dying in 100 AD.
Over a period of around 1500 years it was preserved and passed on:
In 3 Languages
On 3 Continents
There are 66,360+ source documents that have been found for the entire Bible of which there are 24,360 and counting source documents for the New Testament alone.
5,839 in the original Greek, some 2 million pages
18,524 translations of that Greek into other languages
Some of the oldest sources date to 125AD which is within decades of the completion of all the books that were canonized as the New Testament.
The New Testament cannon, (Gospels of the Apostles/writings, Epistles/letters to the early Churches, all sources and eyewitness accounts that were to be included), was decided at the Synod of Carthage in 397 AD.
Those asking for "Scientific Proof" about the Bible are either ignorant or asking with evil intent. An intelligent person knows that the scientific method can not be applied to verify the Bible.
Scientific Method is:
1) Has to be observable.
2) Has to be measurable.
3) Has to be repeatable.
Therefore no history can ever be proven via scientific method.
You must use the historical method based on:
Eyewitnesses accounts.
Documents from the time or as close as possible.
Make sure the story is corroborated by as many sources as possible.
Look for anyone/anything that attempted to prove any of it false in that time period or as close to it as possible.
Did anyone successfully prove any of it untrue?
If they had/have why is there no record found anywhere of it ever being disproven?
Luke = Historian
A man of science, a physician, an educated and logical man who researched and gathered the accounts of eyewitnesses. He recorded the actual eyewitness accounts of our Lord and Savior, those who had heard Him speak and were present/saw the signs/miracles He performed. He did this because the life of those eyewitnesses were coming to an end due to age and he was inspired to write them down via the Holy Spirit before they could be lost or perverted by time.
John = Evangelist
John is organized around 7 specific events/signs/miracles all seen by eyewitnesses and corroborated by many. So he also provides proof of accuracy/truth.
Mark = The shortest of the Gospels and is very direct or "Just the Facts" if you like.
Mathew = Was written to the Jewish audience and that's one of the reasons for the extensive genealogy of Christ. There are also more references to the Old Testament in his gospel compared to the others.
Peter = He lays out all the proof for the Bible and it's accuracy in 1 Peter Chapter 1. He makes the arguments that justify it all as truly what happened and that it all happened as recorded in the Gospel/New Testament, the entire Bible.
All of the Apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus and/or of the resurrected Christ. Including Paul whom Jesus came to as he was on the road traveling to Damascus to persecute more Christians. This would have been the resurrected Christ or a form of Him that came from Heaven.
There were at least 300 eyewitnesses still alive when Corinthians was written who could have disputed it but no one did.
Mathias became the 12th Apostles after Judas hung himself so the argument of there not being 12 Apostles comes from ignorance or evil intent.
There have been over 25,000 archeological digs in which there has been absolutely no evidence found that proves anything in the entire Bible false but in those digs many things have been found that prove it true. This is one such video in which archeological evidence that has been found adds to the veracity of Scripture, the video is "The Archaeology of Jerusalem with Ton Meyer". We don't need finds such as these to know that the Word of God is true but out of His love for us He's preserved and allowed them to be found. This video is on the "Institute from Creation Research" channel and is just one of many they have that proves the Bible true.
Other cultures and non believer's historical documents show or corroborate people, places, wars and many things that are in the Bible. Yet none of them prove any of it to be false, in stead they have strengthened it.
Word for Word Translations prove just how accurate what we have is when you consider there's no way anyone could have falsified any of it, be it via intent or mistakes.
Many church fathers in history have made extensive notes that include scripture throughout the centuries and no matter the time or place all those references to scripture corroborate each other. Which shows just how accurate translations have been throughout time and still are as long as they maintain a word for word ideology during the translation.
To falsify any of it they would have to change every single source, do it in three languages, on three continents, over a span of thousands of years, with no one catching any of it, no one ever talking about what they'd done, leaving behind no traces that they'd done it.
Not to mention they'd have to steal all of those sources to change them, changing them would be a massive undertaking considering they were hand written in those times and then put them back without ever being seen or caught during the entire process.
My last statement is this:
Simply put the Bible can defend itself like a lion just let it loose.
(Use Scripture to defend Scripture because it is a collection of eyewitness accounts that has been proven true again and again).
You must know that God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, that although He hates the sin, He loves the repentant sinner. If people will just come to Him and repent in their heart of hearts of all their sins, and proclaim Him as their Savior, their Lord, the Son of GOD.
Just look around, you know time is growing short.
So I beg you don't waste another second as we know the Rapture will occur in the twinkling of an eye.
Maranatha!!!
There's a very good movie titled "The God Who Speaks" that covers much of what I've said above. If you still have doubt I would recommend you watch it and even if you don't because it was very well made and presented.

Finally! I have been praying to God for an answer as to what is going on in today's Catholic Church. This is was so clear and insightful. I stand firmer now in my prayers and position in this topic.
Trouble is, what he is saying is not correct. He hates the Catholic Church and has an agenda. Peace be with your spirit
Christ is the ground of our justification. We believe this by the gift of faith which has been imputed to us, and, not infused in us.
Brilliant talk!! So timely for me too, thank you all.
Although Vatican II does indeed speak in lofty language with regard to our "separated brethren", but in reality, in local parish churches, Catholic church is implementing Vatican II very slowly if at all, that has been my experience. There still remains a distinct difference between RC and Protestants, and that is the imputed righteousness of Christ through faith alone, which Rome will never accept.
Basically, Rome has become more insidious and now has a smile on its face.
The danger of Rome can't be overstated.

This is quite poor in many places. "Much has changed over time with Catholicism" No, the main basics remain unchanged. The Council of Trent was designed to say what Catholics believed in response to the misinformation and lies told against Catholicism. Before Vatican I many converted to Catholicism --- Bishops in the C of England Church John Henry Newman etc the challenges changed over time and the Councils responded as appropriate. Before Vatican II we had the Belgium Catholic priest in 1922 who was also a physicist - Came up with the big bang theory... The Church has encouraged science.... No council opposed or overturned findings from a previous council. ......... When you get to know Catholicism as opposed to the lies of the hate preachers as we see in this video ... you become Catholic .... like the two Church of England Bishops one in April and one today 8th September 2022 who left status wealth and widespread respect to get closer to God in HIS Catholic Church ......... Those with a poor understanding drift away from Catholicism ....... the intelligent who are devoted to God come to his church........iJesus told the crowd that the Eucharist is “food that endures for eternal life” (Jn 6:27). Jesus himself is the Bread of Life (Jn 6:35, 48), the bread that came down from heaven (Jn 6:41,51). Jesus further explained, “My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink” (Jn 6:55), and that “whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life (Jn 6:54).
After the resurrection, Jesus shared two eucharistic encounters with his disciples. On Easter Sunday night in Emmaus, when Jesus was at the table with Cleopas and another disciple, Jesus “took bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them” (Lk 24:30). When Jesus appeared to his disciples at the Sea of Galilee, he was on the shore near “a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread” (Jn 21:9), and he “came over and took the bread and gave it to them” (Jn 21:13).
Jesus asked his disciples to reenact the Eucharist when he instructed them, “Do this in memory of me” (Lk 22:19; see also 1 Cor 11:24, 25), and the early Church followed his instructions when they devoted themselves “to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42; see also 2:46 and 20:7, 11).
Roman Catholics are true believers.
Amazing ! Thank you Leonardo !

The RCC who continuously claims grace can only come through the church also states Mary, a created sinner, is the gatekeeper of grace. Which is it? The Bible disagrees with both theories.
These are baseless incorrect statements … you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@3leon306 that’s what they teach. Check it out before you show your own ignorance
@@kkdoc7864 please know there’s a room of graduate students in seminary laughing at this thread … the idiocy and ignorance. Mary the gatekeeper of grace? Explain that, please. And show me one RC authoritative source (catechetical or otherwise) asserting that grace does. It originate from God … yes, sacraments are a means of grace but everything (including justification) begins with grace, from God.
@@3leon306 and yet do they not pray to Mary?
As a Protestant, I want to say that I have a deep admiration for my brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church. Don't listen to these men who are preaching division in the body of Christ. We all share one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
We actually do not. The Roman Catholic Church "anathemetized" the Gospel of Justification by Faith in the Council of Trent nearly 500 years ago. Are you saved by faith alone through grace alone in Christ alone or are you saved by faith AND works? Are you saved by Christ alone or by Christ through the Roman Catholic Church? We cannot plaster over this chasm as though it doesn't exist. When Protestants speak of Justification, we speak of what God declares us to be, utterly outside of works. We literally do not believe in the same things. Which Gospel do you believe in?
@@anotherxredeemed In 1999, the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation signed a statement of agreement saying that we are justified by the grace of God alone, and our faith produces good works. Both Protestant and Roman Catholics agree that we don't work our way into heaven, but it is by the grace of God through faith in Christ that we are saved. We both also agree that faith without works is dead. So we do share the same gospel, although our wording may be slightly different. But this should not divide us.
@@brendonpremkumar8207 - and yet, what canon laws are they bound to?
Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.
Canon 11. If anyone says that men are justified either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ or by the sole remission of sins, to the exclusion of the grace and the charity which is poured forth in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, and remains in them, or also that the grace by which we are justified is only the good will of God, let him be anathema.
Canon 14. If anyone says that man is absolved from his sins and justified because he firmly believes that he is absolved and justified, or that no one is truly justified except him who believes himself justified, and that by this faith alone absolution and justification are effected, let him be anathema.
Canon 30. If anyone say that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out ... that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged ... before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema.
It was the best lecture I've listened on the subject. Pretty accurate.

The Catholic Church is clearly teaching that Jesus Christ is the only way. That he already redeemed and saved us.
Well, but why then you are dependent from priests and their mess? Why then you need "good works" for your salvation? Good works are a RESULT of Salvation!
Rome teaches a false Gospel out of the pit of hell.
Clearly?
Today the world and the RCC are in lock step. ^ Down v Up but you cannot redefine the Word of God, for it is the truth. Humanism tries to redefine words, but God says, my Word is truth. By proper definition it means what it says, and mankind will be judged by the standard, the Word of God, and people will go to one of two places, based on that alone. On that day the SOVEREIGN JUDGE will say, "What did I say?", end of story! Simple, but the world and the RCC complicate everything causing ciaos, confusion and unrest. To know the Word is to know the mind of God and the true way to Salvation. The world, false religions and the false churches are all under the same condemnation. Excellent presentation, thank God for raising up men of truth.
only the false sola scriptura doctrine creates chaos, confusion and redefining the Word of God that is why protestantism is divided to 40K+ cults and sects, the bottomless pit of heresy
Here's a thought: if Jesus says to his disciples, "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 5:20 (ESV)), perhaps if our doctrine becomes legally correct, but cold and loveless, then we are also missing the Kingdom where Jesus reigns. Correct doctrine? Amen! Let's not compromise. Is doctrine enough? No! Intellectual faith needs real love, or it's just a clanging bell. Saving faith results in a real fellowship with Jesus,
"1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life - 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us - 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
1 Jn 1:1-4 (ESV)"
If you like this, look up Pastor Mike Gendron.
the 1st holy bible is in Greek
Did the speaker actually read the documents of Vatican II?
Probably not. Most protestants don't want to.
I am sure he did, for he showed the contrasts between what God's Word says and what the RCC teaches. When you "know" the Word, the counterfeit is obvious. Better to be listening to Jesus, than to Pope Francis, as the bible says, "the blind lead the blind into a pit". Eve said, "the serpent deceived me", but she was without excuse and was condemned. Why, because she went her own way and disregarded the Word God gave to her and her husband. The same fate awaits those who, "are wise in their own eyes, yet became fools, because they followed sinful, defiled men and not the Word of God.

And this is where distinctions have to be made. Is purgatory isn't a separate place from heaven or hell where sin is purged. It's better to define purgatory as a process rather than a place.
The finished work of Christ does indeed forgive all sin, But that sin also stains your soul. And purgatory is that which purges the stains of sin from you.
The finished work of Christ is complete. That sin is forgiven and isn't being held against you. Yet the punishment and separation from that sins remain.

At the outset, De Chirico's lecture sounds great and enlightening. But in the middle, he begins to sound suspicious of the Roman Catholic Church. He's actually very sectarian and anti RCC.
Being an ecumenical and reformational evangelical myself, I actually see and experience the exact opposite of what he's saying here. A lot of Catholics I know don't care about their dogmas anymore. In one survey I know, 70% of Catholics don't believe in transubstantiation. They don't read Vatican 2 and their catechism. They actually want to learn from other Christian traditions. They're actually friendly, if not envious, of evangelical and liberal Protestants because their clergy can marry 😆. They actually admire evangelical Protestants.
A Jesuit seminary here in the Philippines actually employs evangelical scholars to teach their seminarians and students. By the way, proud evangelical Protestant pastor here. Proud of what I'm actually learning in the ecumenical movements here in my country. 💜
Just saying.
Coram Deo. 🙏
The fact is, that Roman Catholics and Protestants are both Christians and have way more in common than this De Chirico guy likes to think. I personally hope that more unity can come between theologically conservative Protestants and Roman Catholics.
@@brendonpremkumar8207unity between Catholics and Protestants can only exist between the Catholic Church and the historic conservative Protestant churches such as the Lutheran, Anglican and Reformed churches.
@@Jencky-zk8ps I definitely agree that historic Protestants are closer to Catholics than the evangelicals are. But conservative evangelicals also have commonalities with them, such as the Trinity, the atonement, the resurrection, and the divine inspiration of the Bible. And they would agree with Catholics on traditional family values and sexual ethics. As for me, I am just a conservative Lutheran who is hopeful about reunification with Rome one day.
Great learning ground for the serious
Thanks thanks and thanks again
Thank you for that lecture.
If anyone is looking to anything or anyone other than the person of Jesus Christ for salvation, he is not a Christian.
He does not seem to understand the underlying process of the Catholic Church Vatican Councils and great councils do not make changes but focus on what is the current issues ... So a Catholic Priest in Belgium who was also a physicist in the 1920's came up with the big bang theory 40 years before the recognition in Vatican II
Here is the italian version of the same talk: ua-cam.com/video/f3Hbx597Jvc/v-deo.html
The problem he left everyone with was that he talks about 3000 evangelicals coming to a meeting in Rome to celebrate their faith in the bible alone ... That led 500 years ago into what Martin Luther did not want He wanted one church - protestant - in each country Not a free for all with thousands of versions of what the bible is !!
Ahhh yes, the many denominations argument. Where is the trinity in the Bible? Well let me say we have spring, summer, fall, winter which we call seasons. The same goes for the trinity, we have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit which we call trinity.
How many non biblical alone are there?!
The was no Bible alone until the 4th century when the council of Nicaea canonized the books. Martin Luther was NOT an ecumenical council
Concensus =/= truth.
the 382AD bible was a 73 book bible in the council of Rome under Pope Damasus.
The 66 book Protectant bible was not created until 1550.
From 382 until1455 (invention of the printing press) there were no books for the common man to read, besides man was illiterate for 1500 years. For 1,000 years Catholic monks copied the bible word for word by hand.

@@vincecousino1569 what did Jesus mean when He told men whoevers sins you forgive they're forgiven? Where in the Bible is praying to saints forbidden? That's interesting you graduated from a Catholic school but im forced to note that your answer to my question is "i dont know". Well, if you were Catholic and/or spent time around Catholics and aren't aware that Catholics do indeed confess Jesus Christ as Lord and the world's only savior - then you're going to have to either riconsider your answer or provide an exegetical definition of some kind as to what "call on the name of the Lord means". ..or you can stick with my presumed definition. But that would render a problem since that would mean that Catholics can be saved and that many probably are. Just let me know. Lastly, if you think this text teaches faith alone-then can you show that exactly where in this text does it teach that a one time regeneration granting the believer to process faith in the imputed forensic alien righteousness of Christ is guaranteed heaven with absolute certainty. Where does this text teach that? I think your wisest choice is to change your answer from "I don't know" to "yes". Then feel free to carry onward with additional argumentation.

For Pope Frsncis ,"human proximity is more important than theological integrity" and "warmth ,than light". That sounds appropriate for a PP desling with a lost soul short term than a popes reponsibility to a global church. Sounds dangerous as a papal policy. Integtity and the light should never be sidelined in a pontificate.
Can you give me the reference to when the Pope ever said such things --- it seems so untrue --- I can not find it on any search !!
Nowhere in Catholicism does it say Catholics have to appease a tyrannical God ... If you make things up about Catholicism to knock it down you are countering your own imagination not Catholicism !!
In the last eighteen months three Church of England Bishops have given up so much material wealth and status to convert to the Catholic Church in order to get closer to Christ btw all three come from different parts of the country and came to the realisation independently. Pope Francis is calling all to come to Christ in HIS Catholic Church .. The aim of salvation for all humankind.
I'm Catholic, but I used to be Reformed. The speaker is wrong when he said Vatican 2 was the first council that did not define any dogma. Actually there were councils in the middle ages that did not define any dogma. Its rare in church history, but it did acccur before Vatican 2.
As a Catholic I applaud the information presented in this video. Job well done. Droves of Evangelicals are coming into the Catholic Church precisely because they are discovering the Truth of the Catholic Church through videos like this that bring awareness to those that otherwise would not be open to hearing what the Church teaches. Faith coupled with works is what the Church teaches in the Bible. Grace coupled with the Sacraments is what the Church teaches in the Bible. Christ coupled with the Church is what the Church teaches in the Bible. While it is true that Vatican II may have repackaged the content, be reassured that the content is the same nevertheless. The True Bible has not changed in two millennia, nor has Catholic doctrine, however, with every shade of Protestantism comes a new shade of unbiblical doctrines. If you want to prove this out, then just try to find one single unique Protestant doctrine anywhere in the entire Bible. It can't be done. Try to separate Faith form works, it can't be done. Try to separate Grace from the Sacraments, it can't be done. Try to separate Christ from His Church, it can't be done. Not Biblically speaking anyway. To create a separation between any of these is to create Protestantism.
Would you mind kindly help me understand what does Paul means here regarding what is the criteria God uses to justify a sinner? Faith OR Faith + Works? Thank you and God Bless!
Romans 3:20 (ESV)
20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:28 (ESV)
28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 4:4-5 (ESV)
4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
Romans 11:6 (ESV)
6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Galatians 2:16 (ESV)
16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
@@jamescgl007 To be perfectly honest with you, those verses used to set me back some until I started reading in a different light. I wasn't always Catholic but I always believed in God. I was not attached to any denomination and I didn't ever have any understandings of what each denomination believed and taught. Then I began evaluating all of the arguments that are made available on the different youtube channels. So whatever I share with you is what I have learned from others, I have no original thoughts or arguments. Here is what I have learned.
All of the verses that you quoted about works were written by Paul who was a Bishop in the Catholic Church and he was writing to the Catholic Church in Rome, and the Catholic Church in Galatia and Ephesus among others. The people in those Churches were not unbelievers but they were people that already heard the Gospel and believed and they had already entered into the Church before Paul even wrote those letters. How did they enter into the Church without ever reading the Letters that Paul wrote? For that answer we have to go back to the beginning of the Christian story.
When I read Acts chapter two and weighed everything that Paul wrote against what happened on that day then many things began to come into focus. Acts chapter 2 is the very beginning of the Church history. Maybe you can read that chapter and and then you may find the answer to your question just as I did. Was it by faith alone that those people were saved or was it by faith plus baptism? If you are like me then when you see the answer you will be amazed. There are better people than me at explaining these things but I will be glad to share what I have learned. I hope this helps a little.
You sound like a Protestant 😂. Ok you are wrong. I find it ironic when you say “unbiblical” when you don’t believe in the Bible alone, but you add to it such as Mary, confession to priests, purgatory etc. ah and yes, the Bible interprets itself and btw there is no Aramaic Bible.
@@frederic2796Also calling them the Catholic Church in Galatia is a stretch. Why doesn’t Paul say “Greetings to the Catholic Church of….” And you totally missed the point of what the speaker said. Of course you view from the Catholic lens.
@@frederic2796were you saved before becoming Catholic? I feel many Catholics have the wrong view of what the church really is. Not saying that Protestants know it well either
Some interesting observations, especially on the church councils but also lots of very vague and baseless judgements.
Attempting to undermine traditional / Orthadox / Catholic Church history and teaching, he unwittingly devalues his own Christian tradition also. He devalues and demolishes Christianity itself.
He risks damage and injury to his own belief also. Like a builder trying to demolish a house while he is still in it…
The vast majority of what this man believes was passed on to him down the ages from Catholic tradition. Even the Bible itself was codified at some of the early church councils so by trying to undermine some other church council teachings, he opens the door to (legitimate and logical) attacks on his own teachings such as the Triune Nature of God, the Humanity Divinity and nature of Christ and even the very need for the redemptive work of Christ at all. All things that the Church intellectually and theologically fought for against secular ages past.
I’d recommend bearing that in mind while viewing…
I heard this man in Germany last year talking a lot of wrong things about the Catholic Apostolic Church. I love this church so much with all my heart and hearing this man is heart 💔 breaking. I felt insulted several times. The Catholic Church is MAGNIFICENT and the way I heard you talking about her man, is greatly upsetting. Can’t even hear your voice anymore.
So then you love the church more than you do the TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST... 'Where your treasure is, so your heart is also'
@@gwendaallsworth1575 you do the TRUE Gospel of Christ? So you’re nearly a Saint, congratulations. The Gospels are read in every single Mass along with the Holy Eucharist, you can go to confession every single day/ week so, no one else is practicing more the Gos than a true Catholic.
@@gwendaallsworth1575 the treasure is the Holy Church that Jesus Christ instituted under Peter. Who ordained many Bishops, those who carry the apostolic succession allowing Jesus Christ to operate in this world through their hands.
@@suzanadkjesuscristoteama286 Neither Peter nor Paul founded the Church at Rome, for there were Christians in the city before either of the Apostles set foot there. Nor can we assume, as Irenaeus did, that the Apostles established there a succession of bishops to carry on their work in the city, for all the indications are that there was no single bishop at Rome for almost a century after the deaths of the Apostles. In fact, wherever we turn, the solid outlines of the Petrine succession at Rome seem to blur and dissolve. (Saints and Sinners, pg 2.) Eamon Duffy
@@Adam-ue2ig are you saying that the apostles do not have any successors? The apostles died and along with them their faith, that the apostolic faith is a dead faith? Peter himself ordained several bishops, Ignatius of Antioch for example which was a disciple of St. John the apostle. The patristic fathers unanimously referring to the Eucharist as being the body of Christ. As you seem to like preachers: check Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. John Bergsma talking about the Apocalypse, the Holy Bread, our Holy and Immaculate heavenly Mother as being the New Eve and Queen of Heaven Ap. 12, 1. Check Ap. 19,9 when we’re all invited to the Lamb’s Supper. If you’d like to read the amazing meaning of the Holy Mass “The Mass as Heaven on Earth” read Dr. Scott Hahn’s book “The Lamb’s Supper” to understand the TRUE meaning of the Gospels and book that the Catholic Church gave to you, the Bible. Greetings!
@26:08 I heard those deceptive words again... faith alone, the Bible alone. But the Catholics are not concerned...why??? Because legionnaire read the Bible and comes out with his own version and establish their own authority, and disagree with the Calvinist who also read the Bible and have different interpretations and goes to the Arminians who reads the Bible also and interpret it differently and etc...etc...a long and unending list who believe in sola scriptura but never agree on the actual application of the gospel... And the worst part of it, everyone of them is boasting with one another as the true believer in Christ....❤️❤️❤️
So how does Rome, which is a collection of FALLIBLE, mortal men, escape this trap?
Catholic here. Overall a decent presentation, but several errors that need correcting:
1) there is no Catholic doctrine that is anti-biblical. Extra-biblical, yes, but not anti-biblical. Huge difference.
2) Catholicism does not believe that good works lead to salvation, that is false. We believe God’s grace works in us to produce saving faith, that manifests good works. Huge difference.
3) the Church after Vatican II has become more open…that’s a good thing. But it has not changed its position on the unity of the Church and Christ. Why would it? Christ founded the Church, that is a truth that cannot change.
4) faith alone is NEVER written in scripture, that is a Protestant construct. Sola scriptura is never written in the Bible, the Bible never claims to be the sole source of truth. Christ founded a Church who wrote the Bible…not the other way around. The core Traditions of the Church predate the canonization of the Bible, and are just as valid as scripture. Your predecessors choice to abandon the Church inevitably led to having nothing but the Bible to rely on, which if that’s all you have then of course you think the Bible is the only authority. Except now you have a mess of 30,000 different denominations, all with their own mini-Pope who thinks they know best. And don’t fool yourself, you all have your own traditions too…forms of governance, TULIP, westminster confession, etc.
5) the Church has not changed its position on justification and sanctification. We are justified by God’s grace through faith in Christ. Most Protestants see salvation as just saying the sinners prayer and you’re done. But we believe our faith is strengthened and purified through ongoing sanctification. The sacraments are graces for us, not mechanisms to control us.
Yes there are big differences between Catholics and Protestants, and there always will be. But we are not light years apart. We both believe in salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
You need to stop framing Catholicism as your enemy. The true enemy is atheism and liberal modernist Protestant churches who don’t even believe the Bible is inerrant.
While I appreciate your measured reply to this video, it seems there are mistaken characterizations on both sides. I've often heard Catholic apologists assume theological chaos in Protestantism by the regurgitation of the 30,000 denomination charge. The simple fact is that orthodox Protestants, regardless of label, are bound by the essentials of the faith as delineated in the Scriptures. To that end, what good is it to have a central teaching magisterium if the majority of the Catholic hierarchy is apostate? That is not my charge but one made by Catholic para-church organizations. Do you now see how important is the preeminence of Scripture? It corrects the Church when she strays from the Gospel.
The catholic is is anti-biblical! Genesis 11:1-9 (mother/son cult) read jeremiah 44:5&6-
@@mchristr The church and its offices are infallible not the clergy. The Deposit of Faith is always protected and cannot be corrupted.
I'm a Protestant and I agree with you. All Christians, whether Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox, share Jesus Christ as their Lord. We are all equally committed to sharing the Gospel with the world. Don't listen to these men who are promoting division among us.
Pope Francis loves the poor and the less privileged. God bless him.
He should love all people. Furthermore: Wealth can be a sign of God's grace. Pope Francis is a hidden socialist and should be exposed as such. And don't forget: As pope he is Antichrist.
When one is debating a catholic, he is debating the devil.
How can you call yourself a Christian and then equate another group of Christians to the devil? That's wrong and ungodly! I pray you repent of this falsehood.
@Steve-nm9qy - Do you tell everyone your Bible came from the devil?
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?

Yeah, this De Chirico guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He says that Vatican 2 started to allow theistic evolution, when in reality it was allowed before Vatican 2. Pope Pius XII allowed it to be believed in 1950, with his encyclical Humani Generis.
You really expect evangelicals to know what they're talking about?
As always, a misrepresentation of the Catholic Church. This church you criticize so much is the only one founded by Jesus Christ himself. Your church can never claim that, probably only a few hundred years old.

@@markusw.2690 Without the Catholic Church there is no Christianity! It is the church that propagated and defended Christendom for 2000 years because it is established by Jesus himself. The church is the New Davidic kingdom /government / state not a protestant cult or sect that started in freemasonic amerika circa 20th century and the Gatekeeper and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom is the Office of the Magisterium of the Pope that is why it represents Jesus and the New Davidic Kingdom, this is how the kings of the OT delegated their authority (ISA 22). Your "people" argument is nonsense. There is no declaration of sola scriptura false doctrine by Jesus.
Matthew 16:18 and 18:18 -> Isaiah 22:15-25.
"The KEY of the House of David I will lay upon [Eliakim's] shoulder" (16:18)
"So he shall open, and not one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open" (18:18)
If the Papacy is man-made, then SO IS THE OLD TESTAMENT. The Papacy comes from the Old Testament. The Pope is the Bride's (Church) ambassador to the Groom (the Son); he is the Prime Minister, not the King. the only anti Christ is your protestant zi0nist fundamentalist cults cheerleading for the fake rogue satanical state of izraHELL1948
Evangelical Christians suffer from self hatred. How can you expect such men to embrace other teachings and persons?
Nothing new here . . . the standard Protestant answer: "Some Catholics are saved in spite of their wrong catholic theology", that's so nonsensical, there came along father Luther with his new found doctrines to set up a brand new interpretation, and from there on, the old Catholic Church is wrong. yeah, yeah, yeah. . . #2000yearsofcatholicism
what do you think about amoris laetitia?
fightintheshade You have to study what dogma is (and isn’t), and what papal infallibility (and isn’t), before approaching Amoris Laetitia. Right now there is a big battle between traditional, orthodox Catholics (who hold to dogma) and modern Catholics (who are trying to get around the dogma). Pope Francis and segments of the Church are a part of the second group it seems, sadly.
DISTORTION OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH 💔💔 I hope God has mercy on this man. The way he talks about the ONLY CHURCH THAT JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF FOUNDED is disgusting!!!!!
Read your Bible. Read it. Catholicism is very different.
@@khappy1286 you do not need to tell me to read my Bible, not only the ones protesting against the Church that Jesus Christ himself founded do it. The Holy Scriptures (the Biblical Cânon defined by the Catholic Church in its councils) the Bible, is the Center of my home, i read it daily , and every day i become more Catholic. Stop daring your brothers, they also read their Bibles , not only the Protestant doctors ok? Chirico is a big fat liar, he do not understand the beauty of this amazing church called Catholic and is fooling many along with him. But my heart has peace. The divine justice arrives to everyone. I hope the Holy Spirit bring you back home one day, you do not need to waste your time online telling me to read my Bible brother, did you tell any pagan today to do it as well? Spend your time telling the real people that need evangelisation to read The Bible. But as you told me i can also tell you, reread yourself a Catholic Bible (not the one that Luther added words and deleted books) in communion with the Mother Church. As endless ex-protestants did (like Scott Hahn for example) and, with God’s Grace, became Catholics ❤️ do not follow the example of Luther, anti-Catholics, “Be a sinner and sin boldly, [...]” follow Jesus Christ and his church “go and do not sin anymore”
Thanks 🙏 to make me even more Catholic ✝️❤️ Hail Mary Most Holy, Jesus Christ have mercy on us all.
@@khappy1286 “My flesh is true food", says the Lord, "and my blood is true drink". Here, the Lord offers himself to us as the food that will make the germ of eternal life, which was planted in us at Baptism, grow and mature little by little, according to our cooperation and docility to Grace, until we arrive (by God’s will) to the fullness of heavenly bliss: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
@@khappy1286 The Bible itself clearly says that the Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15) “but in case I should be delayed, I want you to know how people ought to behave in God's household -- that is, in the Church of the living God, pillar and support of the truth.”
Through Church History we can clearly see its transcendence and divinity. No human institution has survived so many coups, persecutions, martyrdoms, humiliations and carnage for 2000 thousand years.
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church❤️

Bible believing protestants who love Jesus become Roman Catholic everyday, praise God! Jesus founded One Church, not 35,000 denominations in the US alone. Read Jn chapter 6! "Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood remains in me." Jesus teaches we remain in Him by partaking the Holy Eucharist! By the way, this guy is soo boring. Listen to Scot Hahn, Robert Baron, Edward Sri, Marcus Grodi.
What a sad and ignorant comment.
Praying for you.
Well, Christ taught us that we would be known by our fruits, and to love our enemies. So, knowing this, how did the Catholic Church respond to those who professed concerns with corruption and false doctrines at the time? Did they produce good fruit and feed their "enemies" with patience and peace? No. They responded by murdering thousands of people in the years to come. That is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit. That was proof that the Reformers had a legitimate reason to reform in the first place. Had the reformers been wrong, the RCC would've responded much differently, but their response revealed just how far the RCC had fallen from Christ's teachings.
Should there be 35,000 denominations? No. Should there be any denominations? No, and the Catholic Church is responsible for this as well. Had it self reflected and humbled itself, then it would've listened to the complaints of their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and they would've improved where it was needed and they would've prevented further separation. But they didn't, and instead chose to brand those who questioned them as heretics and slaughtered them too. Again, not the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
@@loremaster234 I realize this is a bit late but that is one of the best arguments I've heard that exposes the destructive nature of the RCC. They would have executed the Apostles themselves had they challenged the authority of the church and that my friend is enough for me. It's funny how your comment is the first time I've seen that pointed out as it's the one point that I don't think can be refuted effectively.
Take care and God Bless...
