Jordan is the reason why I joined the Catholic Church when I was 19. He took both The Bible and Tradition seriously, and that appreciation pointed my mind, and eventually my heart, to the real love of Jesus. Seeing Jordan now draw closer to Him, especially through the help of his wife, Tammy, means that we must pray for him all the more! Thank you God for Jordan Peterson!
You can't take Roman Catholic tradition and Scriptures seriously at one and the same time. RC traditions - the traditions of men - are opposed to the Bible in critical areas of doctrine. Read the epistles of Romans and Hebrews. The Mass is heresy!
When the Catholics propose a plan to provide salvation for ALL of mankind who have ever lived, while providing for the earthly ordinances like baptism, they MAY have a chance at being "relevant"!! Have enjoyed many of Peterson's lectures, but he's as ignorant as anyone else with his perfunctory dismissals of things not "Catholic"!!
Wow. I never thought Jordan Peterson would help me on my journey to become Catholic. But God has been leading me and showing me sign after sign. And here’s another

That's because they are more socially aware & mature as people. Whereas immature and childish people don't think before they speak. They just open their mouths and out comes in most cases, nothing important 🙄

@@ScholasticaOCSO Apples and oranges. Circumcision is a health issue. My parents did necessary things for me because they were good parents before I could choose anything. Baptizing my cat doesn't make her a Christian anymore than my infant baptism made me a Christian. I had to trust in Jesus for myself. I was baptized as a believer at Scottsdale Bible Church. I was born in an army hospital but wasn't a member of the army until 24 years later when I took the oath and put on a uniform. Get it?
As a practicing Catholic I find this a totally fair criticism. We pray for the Church and the Pope and we know a big revival is coming. e.g. Younger priests coming through are returning to the traditional faith and are throwing off the watered down nonsense.
@@davidstewart7009 People are leaving but not in drovees, and maybe they were nominal Catholics to begin with. People are also joining. Might be better to have real believers than pro forma believers. Just my opinion.
"Watered down" is exactly what's happening in our schools and has been for a very long time. The children are not being taught the true faith. They are hungry for the truth. Many teachers couldn't care less.
What does Paul has to do with "an unknown god" in Acts 17:23.. Nothing. He was trying to draw to people to listen to him. It is the same with the Popes.. He is trying to draw people to the Church.. Its called evangelism.
Yes I had the watered down nonsense but learned so much on my own thirsting for knowledge and the Truth. The rewards for seeking God are amazing to know and understand Him not perfectly but just to have some understanding as opposed to none.
Clarification of Terms Jesus - Christ The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God. So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God. The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do. Yet who can save unless he sees illusions and then identifies them as what they are? Jesus remains a Savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true. And Christ needed his form that He might appear to men and save them from their own illusions. In his complete identification with the Christ -- the perfect Son of God, His one creation and His happiness, forever like Himself and One with Him -- Jesus became what all of you must be. He led the way for you to follow him. He leads you back to God because he saw the road before him, and he followed it. He made a clear distinction, still obscure to you, between the false and true. He offered you a final demonstration that it is impossible to kill God's Son; nor can his life in any way be changed by sin and evil, malice, fear or death. And therefore all your sins have been forgiven because they carried no effects at all. And so they were but dreams. Arise with him who showed you this because you owe him this who shared your dreams that they might be dispelled. And shares them still, to be at one with you. Is he the Christ? O yes, along with you. His little life on earth was not enough to teach the mighty lesson that he learned for all of you. He will remain with you to lead you from the hell you made to God. And when you join your will with his, your sight will be his vision, for the eyes of Christ are shared. Walking with him is just as natural as walking with a brother whom you knew since you were born, for such indeed he is. Some bitter idols have been made of him who would be only brother to the world. Forgive him your illusions, and behold how dear a brother he would be to you. For he will set your mind at rest at last and carry it with you unto your God. Is he God's only Helper? No, indeed. For Christ takes many forms with different names until their oneness can be recognized. But Jesus is for you the bearer of Christ's single message of the Love of God. You need no other. It is possible to read his words and benefit from them without accepting him into your life. Yet he would help you yet a little more if you will share your pains and joys with him, and leave them both to find the peace of God. Yet still it is his lesson most of all that he would have you learn, and it is this: _There is no death because the Son of God is like his Father. Nothing you can do can change Eternal Love. Forget your dreams of sin and guilt, and come with me instead to share the resurrection of God's Son. And bring with you all those whom He has sent to you to care for as I care for you._ A Course In Miracles (1976) Author: Jesus Christ
The dogma has not changed. Other things have though: so should we still be speaking and reading aramaic (Greek in some cases, not even Latin? Should we still be eating at low tables seated on cushions? I don't want to be reading from scrolls rather than from books? Cultural things have changed: women no longer wear long robes and men don't wear the tunics either. Again cultural/societal thing have changed, but the dogmas has remained the same from when the bible was put together at least I think.
Are you saved? In the Bible saved people KNOW that they are saved. Paul reminds the people in Ephesus, "For by grace you are you saved, through Faith (believing the Gospel)" Saved is in the past tense, when Paul wrote this they were "saved" people.
Now i have to elevate this man even higher after i already felt he was one of the greatest gifts to mankind on the planet. I too, like you, have felt this way about JP ever since i heard him speak around 2017 or so, and have felt he was on a journey to catholicism the last several years...and i continue to pray everyday that he continues on his journey HOME.
“If it’s all guitars and hippies…” 😂 man so true. Even as a non-Catholic (in my opinion soon be Catholic especially with his own wife’s recent conversion) he gets it and is spot on. This has a right to go viral because it speaks truth.
Vatican XXII was something like the watering down of the college curriculum that occurred during the time of student unrest during the Viet Nam War. The basic core curriculum was gutted, much to the detriment of higher education.
@@lucillejerome5511 Jordan is on his own journey, yes that I will agree with. However, technically, we all find our own journey or path when it comes to finding and solidifying a relationship with Christ and discovering the fullness of truth, which is what Jordan is seeking. Again, with his wife's recent conversion and miracle also Jordan attending the Latin Mass recently within this past year or so (there is video proof and evidence of this) don't be surprised he ends up converting and becoming Catholic sometime in the near future very soon.
He knows God. Even Catholics need to put that above being Catholic. If you do not personally KNOW God you can never take.up your cross and follow HIM. THHANK YOU for posting this.
Every true Catholic receives Jesus word and Him, His body, blood, soul and divinity at every Mass. Because that’s what Jesus said to do. Jesus CLEARLY said u must eat my flesh and drink my blood or there’s no life in you. And love one another AND forgive those who trespass against you.
Does anybody really know God? I can only speak for myself but I've never seen God. Everything I know, or think I know, about God comes from other humans. I'm pretty sure most people would say the same if they're being honest. So how does that add up to knowing God?
The truly faithful are rebuilding. The other invitation is "get in your cross". Dr. Peterson, you are invited to join us Catholics. We will welcome you with open arms.
I was received into the Catholic Church twenty-five years ago this Easter, but I fought the urge to convert for thirty years before that. Boy, did I put up a fight. I recognize the symptoms in Jordan Peterson because I had them all. It will be great having him when he finally makes the leap. I just wish our present "management" was more competent, but Jordan will work that out somehow.
The invitation is take up your cross and follow me and somehow most churches tippy toe around subjects that make people uncomfortable . Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost and he is saving his sheep from their sin and it’s not ment to be comfortable all the time but it’s for our good and for his glory ultimately .
I think the Catholic church needs Jordan Peterson as much as Jordan Peterson (and all of us) need the Catholic church. It's all about finding your way to Christ, who is the living truth.
Historically speaking, many of the conversions of kings and emperors in the past were led to Christ by their wives and daughters. If Tammy is becoming Catholic, chances are good Jordan won’t be far off.
Jordan Peterson is a truth-seeker, and, when he recognizes something is the truth, he's not afraid to say it. As such, watching his journey has been enlightening and inspirational.
I don't think it'll be that long before he's received into the Catholic church - he's an honest, thoughtful man and certainly seeks the truth in so many other ways.
@stephenbaker7079, I think you are right. But since he is so thorough and thoughtful, as you say, I expect he will join the true Catholic Church, the church of the ages, not the false church of Vatican 2.
Or, follow holy Mary worship perchance? Or Catholic rites? I don't knock a Catholic trying to take up his cross and follow Christ. I don't knock confession which too many Protestant churches deem unnecessary . But doctrines have been fought over for some hundreds of years and hardly to the credit of Catholics. But the Word says to the law and to the testimony. Go find the truth in the very scriptures. First Peter 1:23 Timothy 4:3-4 I also would hate to see Jordan an Erasmas. Or a Thomas Moore.
1 Chronicles 28 : 9 ... for Jehovah searches all hearts, and discerns every inclination of the thoughts. If you search for him, he will let himself be found by you, …
The problem is that Jordan is going on what the media says about the pope. Not what the pope has actually said. Years ago at world youth day, Pope Francis told everyone that if they don’t evangelise they will go to hell. Main stream media did not report this.
The problem here is that Jordan is only seeing what the media reports on the pope. If he actually followed the pope, Jordan would have a different opinion.
@@neilrowland5165 Your opinion appears to be more important than the facts, at least in your own mind. The Pope, in his attempt at compassion and attempt at popularity, that’s giving him every latitude, speaks out of both sides of his mouth, particularly when he doesn’t know what he is talking about. What he knows about the state of the climate change emergency, he could write on the back of a Vatican issued Martin Luther stamp. Understand this; the Pope is, by hook and by crook, the chosen leader of the Holy Catholic Church. In that position, established by God, in this instance, much in the same way as the establishment of Jacob and Joseph Ben Caiaphas. In position by whatever means, to do God’s Holy Will. I pray every day for Pope Francis, whilst still cognisant of his many faults and failings, which are readily apparent, much like my own faults and failings as I am not a Pharisee. I follow his every word, even in the issued encyclicals that he only signs. Be careful with what you believe to be from the seat of Peter. Determine the difference between Dogma and merely opinion. Telling God, the Pope told me, ain’t going to cut it, when Jesus asks; what did I say? Then followed by; what was the infallible revealed truth professed by all the Popes throughout the ages?
Yes, I agree too! I sometimes wonder if he might have already converted or is going to become Catholic sometime soon. However, it's possible that he won't ever admit it, or not anytime soon, because he knows that, for better or worse, he can reach more people (as Bishop Barron recently admitted) because he's in a suit and tie and not in a Roman collar. I don't know, just some thoughts. 🤷🏽♀️ I wish Tammy Peterson every good wish and blessing as she is welcomed into the Church next week at Easter. Our prayers are with you and all new Catholics at this Holy time. 🙏🏼❤️
The catholic church that I walked away from at 14 put 40 years between and a relationship with God.I found God in a converted pool hall in a Perth suburb at age 55.Radically born again, Thank you Jesus.
There is a growing remnant deep within the Catholic Church if you care to see it, Jordan. What happened to your memories from your visit to Franciscan University in Steubenville.
@solrubrum Christ is the head of His true church, the body of Christ. They follow Him and Him alone, not man made doctrine. But, Lord, Lord, we healed the sick in your name, we cast out demons in your name, but he said to them..."depart from me, I never knew you"
As a Catholic I am so grateful for Dr Peterson, he is doing disciple’s job as priests got too comfortable and abandoned their flock. Shame on them, soon they will pay the highest price while grinding teeth…
I surrrrrrre hope you're not worshipping and following the ANTI-Christ, ConAll Dump, now, rather thsn GOD & YESHUA(?). Because sooooooooo many evangelicals now WORSHIP and follow the ANTI-Christ, rather than GOD & YESHUA, now. Though, that is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Spot on. Stop worrying about climate change and bring back true worship. The Christ is our brother, crowd has played itself to death. Christ is also THE SON OF GOD. Bring back the organ; the communion railings; the solemnity; the sacred silence; the beauty; the architecture; the music. We have had enouogh of churches that look more like theaters and altars that look like performing stages. Enough of the Broadway tunes dressed up to sound like hymns. Enough of social justice foolishness. We want to come to Church, to attend mass, to find peace, solace, to worship. Not to be presented with the same stuff outside, dressed up to look like religion.
You’re sooo right. Everybody teaches Christ is our friend and brother. Nobody teaches that He is also our Lord and Master anymore. I pray everyday for the return of true worship and for God to cut off those preachers that have led His sheep astray and finally to guide His saints to pastors after His heart. I urge anyone who reads this message to join me in that prayer.
I was visiting my daughter and took my grandchildren to Mass at a new church and my 5 yr old granddaughter thought we were in a theater because of the way the pews and sanctuary were set up. In my area a traditional church was burnt down and after years and millions of dollars the new church looks more like a coloseum and we look DOWN towards the altar. The Tabernacle is in a separate area and sits on a stainless steel table that would look more appropriate in a laboratory. My parish church was consecrated in 1963 and while it looks modern compared to the older traditional churches it has a beautiful gold Tabernacle is up high front and center of the sanctuary. The altar is marble and raised 3 steps higher than the rest of the sanctuary. There is a Communion rail made of marble and the sanctuary gate has a beautiful ChiRo in the center. There are two side chapels in the sanctuary, one with a statue of Our Lady with infant Jesus and the other of St Joseph the worker. We're blessed to have such beautiful and sacred place for worship.
@@annarodriguez9868 One of the local Catholic churches has the Tabernacle in an alcove. I stated on facebook - Isn't that like having a birthday party and asking the guest of honor to sit in another room?
Dr. Jordan Peterson also has a great respect for Buddhism, and the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. He has appreciation for any religion and philosophy that has good teachings that are kind, beneficial, and help mankind.
Amen, we cannot save this planet. At some point God will create a new heaven & a new earth. We must work on our soul so that we can be with God on the new heaven & new earth. JP is exactly right. Fixing our soul is the only thing that matters.
The story of Jesus' death includes both. You can't have one without the other. That's literally the message. Carry your cross(a lofty goal that saves humanity) and maybe you will be ressurected in the afterlife as you make it to heaven.
It has been my experience as a Catholic convert that parishners are not encouraged enough to read the Bible for themselves or provided the support to do it effectively. There is also too much emphasis on what the Church teaches versus what the Bible (and Jesus) teaches. This is especially the case with children as I find that my kids know little of Bible stories and how they might apply to our lives despite attending Catholic school K through grade 3.
@@jamiemiller5269 Catholic (lukewarm) in her seventies here. At the age when reading the bible might be of some profit, reading it was forbidden. Forbidden. Even the nuns did not read it. You could read your missel, your catechism, but not the bible. They certainly did not want you to interpret any snippet yourself.
I like Jordan Peterson, and think that he should attend more Catholic services and talk with more priests. There’s so much depth in our church. if he wants to remain a critical thinker, that’s OK because God created us that way God gave us all different abilities so that we can learn from each other. If we have compassion and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us without the Holy Spirit guiding us we’re lost. We are lost without the Holy Spirit.
Dr. Peterson you are so right! God bless you and your family. I love my Jesus. I love my Holy Catholic Church - my beautiful faith! The gates of hell will never prevail against her despite the damage being wrought against her from within and the chaos and scandal resulting!
@@tonieder1549 The RCC's view of the church is completely at odds with the NT. It is the Scripture, and it alone, that is the guide for all Christians. The church on earth must submit to the Scriptures. In addition , the idea that the RCC is the church that Christ setup, and that all believers must submit to it, is also rejected in the Scriptures in the strongest possible manner. The RCC bears no resemblance to the church which is portrayed in the NT. Their view is only obtainable if one approaches the Scriptures with such rigid theological misconceptions that they must “mis-interpret” these verses to conform it to their own theological system. If you are absolutely commit yourself to the LITERAL, GRAMMATICAL, HISTORICAL HERMENEUTIC you will be able to understand the "Full Counsel of God" and come to the conclusion the church is not the RCC. KEY POINT: Literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic is the same approach used in ordinary communication. In fact American jurisprudence rests upon this interpretive approach. The dictionary defines literal interpretation that is "based on the actual words in their ordinary meaning...not beyond the facts. In addition, it should be noted in passing that literal interpretation has been unfairly criticised on the basis that it adheres to a wooden, inflexible literalism that fails to allow for types, symbols, figures of speech and genre distinctions. Literalism does not preclude or exclude correct understanding of types, illustrations, apocalypses, and other genres within the basic framework of literal interpretation. It is not too difficult to account for the widespread approval of the spiritualizing or allegorizing method adopted by many conservative theologians as well as liberal and ROMAN CATHOLIC expositors. Fundamentally its charm lies in its flexibility. The interpreter can change the literal and grammatical sense of Scripture to make it coincide with it own system of interpretation. Shalom
As someone who studied physics at a Jesuit university and understands both… religion always runs afoul when it ties itself to science. Our scientific understanding is always evolving, and religion is umbrella that is unshakable and immovable against changes in culture. JP is right again
God gave us a beautiful planet. Not caring about it is like rejecting this gift from God! He is very right about the Cross, but caring for the planet is part of it, as is caring for others!
The high priests tried to catch Jesus in a political trap. Hoping he would say he was more important than Caesar. He knew what they were up to and instead said "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God". That part of the Bible should have caused the Pope to stay away from politics. His desire to change the Lord's prayer was not holy, but arrogant. The part of the prayer that says" lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil", is a plea to ask God to protect us from ourselves. After all Jesus was made man. So he knew how easy it is for a man to run away with himself. The Catholic faith gave me a foundation to start from. The bottom line of Christianity is to have God in your life, and keep God in your life.
"There are plenty of things the Catholic Church got right." Yes - but it's the things that the Catholic Church gets wrong that are most critical to salvation.
The Catholic Church didn't quite "lose faith" in its great mission. Rather, it decided to trust the advice of marketing experts over the power of its own doctrine. It was a huge mistake...but it wasn't the Church's first mistake. Listen to Peterson's analysis of the Third Commandment in this video -- ua-cam.com/video/Bb0bN0zk9Gw/v-deo.htmlsi=YDmRgzkq-LjndCSL -- and reflect!
@@myriamc. The catholic church, itself, is in direct opposition and contradiction of, and fundamentally disobeys muuuuuuuuch of the commandments and guidance given in The Bible. The catholic church is a verrrrrrrrrrrry flawwwwwwwwwed institution, created by man, and has been grossly perverse throughout its history. The institution is built around benefitting and serving those highest up in its hierarchy, which is very political. It is rife with sin. It is corrupt to the core. Hence its infestation of pedophiles for hunnnnnnnndreds of years, or longer, and the aiding and abetting of these wicked and demonic pedophiles, and cover up of their abominable sins and crimes, which is at leeeeeeeeast as bad as the molestations, themselves. The church has been a haven for demons for a lonnnnnnnng tiiiiiiiime
When asked why he didn't step in to the church he replied "because I live on the edge of things." As clever as the answer was he is smart enough to know it's inadequate for revealed paths to salvation. He'll join I would be willing to bet.
I left the Catholic Church 40 years ago. I started reading the bible. Nevertheless the number one issue which turns people from church is the lack of love of Christians. There is the famous story that Ghandi tried to find out more about Jesus at a church in South Africa and he was refused admission. On UA-cam I see so called Christians attacking pastors they disagree with, and some of the stuff is vicious. Once you follow Christ’s command to love people things would improve.
Yes, MAGA is allllllllll about HAAAAAAAAAAATE and self-righteousness. And worshipping the ANTI-Christ, ConAll Dump. They put Dump and HAAAAAAAAATE above GOD, YESHUA, The Holy Spirit, and LOVVVVVVVE. Loving thy enemy, and Loving thy neighbor thyself. Annnnnnny group or movement built on HAAAAAAAATE is clearrrrrrrrrrly in direct OPPOSITION of GOD, YESHUA, The Holy Spirit, and The Bible. As the song says, "... You will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love. Yrs you will know we are Christians by our LOVE." Notttttttt by one's hate. Hate is of Satan. The one ConAll Dump clearly represents.
You are right, the Catholic Church does not love those different faith groups as brothers. 1 John 4:20-21, it is sounding gong 1 Cor. 13. It spends far to much time navel-gazing and promoting self righteousness.
H doesn’t have to. Free will. Also he knows 1000 percent more about this subject than most credible theologians. It may not be good for his platform now. You believe in what you want. You don’t need his permission🙏🏼
In Québec (use to be very very catholic) people don't read the bible. You can't even get one at church! Of those left in church (mostly 60yo+) a lot are catholic only 1h/week and you can see the rush to get out of the church as soon as it getting close to the end. On the other hand, I am gratefull that the church, community is still there at least the flame is not completely out, there is still hope.
You're right about Québec. It used to be the cradle (berceau) of Catholicism in Canada. I grew up with the Novus Ordo Mass (the Mass of Vatican 2). When I discovered the Traditional Mass, I thought I was in Heaven. There's a very big difference between the two. The New Mass is more like a Protestant service. Now the Pope is trying to eliminate the Traditional Mass. People who go to the old Mass read the Bible and also use a Missal, which is available in Latin with the modern language beside it. As you say, there is still hope.
JP is truly a treasure I’m praying for his conversion. I’d be okay if he was elected Pope Pius XIII and condemned V2 and all the anti Popes Starting with J23 on… Christ the King is Risen!!
He may not admit it because he doesn’t want to play into the world. He’s just as human as the rest of us as smart as he may be. It’s obvious he’s on the path. His actions are speaking LOUDLY.
I think Dr. Peterson is right about many things. But this is what he is expert at...speaking in generalities and never quite answering the question...attempting to address a mystery by appealing to a greater mystery. Which might make a good sound bite but ultimately does nothing to clarify.
After several decades I recently decided to go back to church. I went several times to the local Catholic church and each week the priest's sermons were political campaign speeches, telling the congregation which side of politics was the evil side (the conservatives, of course) and which way we should vote (vote left, of course). I told him that faith is above politics, and that I came to church to worship God and to have my faith encouraged, not to be lectured on politics and told how to vote. He told me the content of his sermons is ordered by the bishop and that he cannot disobey the bishop. So I decided to go to the local Anglican church and I was pleased that the Anglican priest's sermons are not about politics but about faith. He encourages people's faith, paraphrased roughly in his words, "so that individuals may be in a sense transfigured like Christ and his disciples during the transfiguration, and rise above the affairs of the world and be able to see for themselves what is true and right and good to do." That was a little over a year ago and since then I have been attending services regularly. I even have Holy Communion.
Any house of worship that promotes politics, allows a politician to address the congregation, or allows national (state) tokens such as national flags, or allows idols and graven images, is truly not a house of God but a house of Babylon.
I would agree. Thanks for sharing. He needs to dig deeper, however, on his take on history. The people who were/are behind his persecution are the same people who have given us the narrative of history that we have swallowed "hook, line, and sinker." Dig deeper, Dr. Peterson, the truth is waiting for you to discover it.
I enjoy hearing Jordan Peterson explain and expound on those things of value. I do not find the Roman Catholic church to be of any value. If anything the Roman Catholic church contradicts all that is biblical. I pray Jordan Peterson would come to repentance that would redeem him to Jesus Christ and not to the "Queen of Heaven", but to follow the Roman Catholic belief dogma would only lead him to hell.
More Bible in a Sunday mass than a lifetime from a protestant pastor's service. Four full Scriptue readings every Sunday. The Mass is mostly Scripture.
I started reading a Bible a co-worker gave me at work in my season of distress. Later, I accepted Bible study from the Witnesses, having appreciated their bible tracks when they came to my door. I, raised a Catholic, recommend you contact Jehovah's Witnesses for a free Bible study, as I did. I find their translation of scripture excellent too - the best translation available. Scripture seems so plainly sensible when bible themes are properly established. They have a website, as well, you may wish to examine. As a treat, enjoy the short movie, King Hezekiah Trusts in Jehovah - awesome music and epic climax. The actors are pretty good, especially the one who plays bad-ass King Sennachirib.
It really depends on which parish you go to. My parish is a vibrant place to worship and take communion assuming you are soul is clear of serious sin. Then go to Sacrement of reconciliation and confess first. My Priest is a fine pastor and a faithful priest. I too was certain that he would eventually to the Catholic faith. He was too far into knowledge and history to miss the reality of the true faith.
While I see Dr Peterson embracing Christianity, I didn't hear him say he was considering becoming Catholic. Embracing Jesus' message is what is important not what group you pick to belong to.
Jordan is the reason why I joined the Catholic Church when I was 19. He took both The Bible and Tradition seriously, and that appreciation pointed my mind, and eventually my heart, to the real love of Jesus. Seeing Jordan now draw closer to Him, especially through the help of his wife, Tammy, means that we must pray for him all the more! Thank you God for Jordan Peterson!

Baptizing my cat doesn't make her a Christian anymore than my infant baptism made me a Christian. I had to trust in Jesus for myself. I was baptized as a believer at Scottsdale Bible Church. I was born in an army hospital but wasn't a member of the army until 24 years later when I took the oath and put on a uniform. Get it?
As a practicing Catholic I find this a totally fair criticism. We pray for the Church and the Pope and we know a big revival is coming. e.g. Younger priests coming through are returning to the traditional faith and are throwing off the watered down nonsense.
There really isn’t, millions are leaving in their droves and I doubt Peterson will convert, he’s too much of a deep and free thinker to do that.
@@davidstewart7009 People are leaving but not in drovees, and maybe they were nominal Catholics to begin with. People are also joining. Might be better to have real believers than pro forma believers. Just my opinion.
"Watered down" is exactly what's happening in our schools and has been for a very long time. The children are not being taught the true faith. They are hungry for the truth. Many teachers couldn't care less.
What does Paul has to do with "an unknown god" in Acts 17:23.. Nothing. He was trying to draw to people to listen to him.
It is the same with the Popes.. He is trying to draw people to the Church.. Its called evangelism.
Yes I had the watered down nonsense but learned so much on my own thirsting for knowledge and the Truth. The rewards for seeking God are amazing to know and understand Him not perfectly but just to have some understanding as opposed to none.
JP is right… it’s all about Jesus, not him, not you, not me, JESUS!!!
Meth-head didn't say that. He denies Christ, silly billy. You are another victim of his word salad.
not me, not Hermione, you
Clarification of Terms
Jesus - Christ
The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God. So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God. The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do. Yet who can save unless he sees illusions and then identifies them as what they are? Jesus remains a Savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true. And Christ needed his form that He might appear to men and save them from their own illusions.
In his complete identification with the Christ -- the perfect Son of God, His one creation and His happiness, forever like Himself and One with Him -- Jesus became what all of you must be. He led the way for you to follow him. He leads you back to God because he saw the road before him, and he followed it. He made a clear distinction, still obscure to you, between the false and true. He offered you a final demonstration that it is impossible to kill God's Son; nor can his life in any way be changed by sin and evil, malice, fear or death.
And therefore all your sins have been forgiven because they carried no effects at all. And so they were but dreams. Arise with him who showed you this because you owe him this who shared your dreams that they might be dispelled. And shares them still, to be at one with you.
Is he the Christ? O yes, along with you. His little life on earth was not enough to teach the mighty lesson that he learned for all of you. He will remain with you to lead you from the hell you made to God. And when you join your will with his, your sight will be his vision, for the eyes of Christ are shared. Walking with him is just as natural as walking with a brother whom you knew since you were born, for such indeed he is. Some bitter idols have been made of him who would be only brother to the world. Forgive him your illusions, and behold how dear a brother he would be to you. For he will set your mind at rest at last and carry it with you unto your God.
Is he God's only Helper? No, indeed. For Christ takes many forms with different names until their oneness can be recognized. But Jesus is for you the bearer of Christ's single message of the Love of God. You need no other. It is possible to read his words and benefit from them without accepting him into your life. Yet he would help you yet a little more if you will share your pains and joys with him, and leave them both to find the peace of God. Yet still it is his lesson most of all that he would have you learn, and it is this:
_There is no death because the Son of God is like his Father. Nothing you can do can change Eternal Love. Forget your dreams of sin and guilt, and come with me instead to share the resurrection of God's Son. And bring with you all those whom He has sent to you to care for as I care for you._

The holy Catholic Church is Jesus’s mystical body on earth.
@@simonslater9024 … the church is all Christians not just Catholics!
God's Word never changes and neither should the church.
i would not recognize Jesus in a aldi's supermarket..
so this is what 1600 years of mass propaganda does to a once human brain.. interesting.
I did not hear anywhere in the interview, the Word of God mentioned?
The dogma has not changed. Other things have though: so should we still be speaking and reading aramaic (Greek in some cases, not even Latin? Should we still be eating at low tables seated on cushions? I don't want to be reading from scrolls rather than from books? Cultural things have changed: women no longer wear long robes and men don't wear the tunics either. Again cultural/societal thing have changed, but the dogmas has remained the same from when the bible was put together at least I think.
and the 7th day Sabbath hasn't changed either. sunday is the day of satan worship.
Save souls one person at a time. How true and how life.
We don’t save souls my friend, God saves!
@@williamcabell142We can also do our part by saving souls with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, which is God Himself.
Amen.
Are you saved? In the Bible saved people KNOW that they are saved. Paul reminds the people in Ephesus, "For by grace you are you saved, through Faith (believing the Gospel)" Saved is in the past tense, when Paul wrote this they were "saved" people.
Now i have to elevate this man even higher after i already felt he was one of the greatest gifts to mankind on the planet. I too, like you, have felt this way about JP ever since i heard him speak around 2017 or so, and have felt he was on a journey to catholicism the last several years...and i continue to pray everyday that he continues on his journey HOME.
“If it’s all guitars and hippies…” 😂 man so true. Even as a non-Catholic (in my opinion soon be Catholic especially with his own wife’s recent conversion) he gets it and is spot on. This has a right to go viral because it speaks truth.
I believe he will choose to follow Christ and Him alone.
Vatican XXII was something like the watering down of the college curriculum that occurred during the time of student unrest during the Viet Nam War. The basic core curriculum was gutted, much to the detriment of higher education.
@@paulawagstaff686then you denied Christ.
no it's not - don't exaggerate to try to make your case. Jordan is on his own journey, just as we are all are.
@@lucillejerome5511 Jordan is on his own journey, yes that I will agree with. However, technically, we all find our own journey or path when it comes to finding and solidifying a relationship with Christ and discovering the fullness of truth, which is what Jordan is seeking. Again, with his wife's recent conversion and miracle also Jordan attending the Latin Mass recently within this past year or so (there is video proof and evidence of this) don't be surprised he ends up converting and becoming Catholic sometime in the near future very soon.
I can imagine JP standing before God asking "Did i get myself in enough trouble?"
He knows God. Even Catholics need to put that above being Catholic. If you do not personally KNOW God you can never take.up your cross and follow HIM. THHANK YOU for posting this.
Every true Catholic receives Jesus word and Him, His body, blood, soul and divinity at every Mass. Because that’s what Jesus said to do. Jesus CLEARLY said u must eat my flesh and drink my blood or there’s no life in you. And love one another AND forgive those who trespass against you.
Does anybody really know God? I can only speak for myself but I've never seen God. Everything I know, or think I know, about God comes from other humans. I'm pretty sure most people would say the same if they're being honest. So how does that add up to knowing God?
@@tinman1955 ''really know God?'' God is eternal and infinite, so no dear brother
We are bearers of Christ every time we receive him in the Eucharist. You can’t get more personal than that! My Lord and my God!
The truly faithful are rebuilding. The other invitation is "get in your cross".
Dr. Peterson, you are invited to join us Catholics. We will welcome you with open arms.
Pope Francis is holding him back.
Narrow is the path that's correct JP. I reference pilgrim's progress we will be hated not loved by a lot of people in this world.
I was received into the Catholic Church twenty-five years ago this Easter, but I fought the urge to convert for thirty years before that. Boy, did I put up a fight. I recognize the symptoms in Jordan Peterson because I had them all. It will be great having him when he finally makes the leap. I just wish our present "management" was more competent, but Jordan will work that out somehow.
The invitation is take up your cross and follow me and somehow most churches tippy toe around subjects that make people uncomfortable . Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost and he is saving his sheep from their sin and it’s not ment to be comfortable all the time but it’s for our good and for his glory ultimately .
Spot on. Everyone is concerned about making people feel uncomfortable. Well, get use to it, I say. Life is uncomfortable at times
When you say churches what do you mean because protestant so called churches DON’T EXIST.
Agreed 😊
I think the Catholic church needs Jordan Peterson as much as Jordan Peterson (and all of us) need the Catholic church. It's all about finding your way to Christ, who is the living truth.
Good wording - choice between Catholic faith and Catholic Church.
bs, one and the same
Historically speaking, many of the conversions of kings and emperors in the past were led to Christ by their wives and daughters.
If Tammy is becoming Catholic, chances are good Jordan won’t be far off.
Not good for man to live alone!!
Amen. Now we all need to speak up! Christ is the way...not the Government. Wake up, Woke!
And ConAll Dump most CERTAINLY os NOT the way.
Heeeee is the ANTI-Christ.
Jordan Peterson is a truth-seeker, and, when he recognizes something is the truth, he's not afraid to say it. As such, watching his journey has been enlightening and inspirational.
🔥 MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD 🩸 OF
JESUS CHRIST, SAVE US
AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎
Amen ✝️❤️🔥
I don't think it'll be that long before he's received into the Catholic church - he's an honest, thoughtful man and certainly seeks the truth in so many other ways.
@stephenbaker7079, I think you are right. But since he is so thorough and thoughtful, as you say, I expect he will join the true Catholic Church, the church of the ages, not the false church of Vatican 2.
Couldn't agree with him more. The great adventure is to pick up the cross and follow me.
Or, follow holy Mary worship perchance? Or Catholic rites?
I don't knock a Catholic trying to take up his cross and follow Christ.
I don't knock confession which too many Protestant churches deem unnecessary .
But doctrines have been fought over for some hundreds of years and hardly to the credit of Catholics.
But the Word says to the law and to the testimony.
Go find the truth in the very scriptures. First Peter 1:23 Timothy 4:3-4
I also would hate to see Jordan an Erasmas. Or a Thomas Moore.
He who seeks after The Truth will find it, when he seeks with all his mind and soul and heart.
1 Chronicles 28 : 9 ... for Jehovah searches all hearts,
and discerns every inclination of the thoughts.
If you search for him, he will let himself be found by you, …
Amen! May his marvelous gift of communication..may he enter the Catholic faith with his wife this Easter vigil 2024.
Outstanding summary from JP.
I hope the Pope listens to Professor Jordan Peterson.
The problem is that Jordan is going on what the media says about the pope. Not what the pope has actually said. Years ago at world youth day, Pope Francis told everyone that if they don’t evangelise they will go to hell. Main stream media did not report this.
The problem here is that Jordan is only seeing what the media reports on the pope. If he actually followed the pope, Jordan would have a different opinion.
@@neilrowland5165 Your opinion appears to be more important than the facts, at least in your own mind.
The Pope, in his attempt at compassion and attempt at popularity, that’s giving him every latitude, speaks out of both sides of his mouth, particularly when he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
What he knows about the state of the climate change emergency, he could write on the back of a Vatican issued Martin Luther stamp.
Understand this; the Pope is, by hook and by crook, the chosen leader of the Holy Catholic Church.
In that position, established by God, in this instance, much in the same way as the establishment of Jacob and Joseph Ben Caiaphas.
In position by whatever means, to do God’s Holy Will.
I pray every day for Pope Francis, whilst still cognisant of his many faults and failings, which are readily apparent, much like my own faults and failings as I am not a Pharisee. I follow his every word, even in the issued encyclicals that he only signs. Be careful with what you believe to be from the seat of Peter. Determine the difference between Dogma and merely opinion. Telling God, the Pope told me, ain’t going to cut it, when Jesus asks; what did I say? Then followed by; what was the infallible revealed truth professed by all the Popes throughout the ages?
I THOUGHT the pope was mainly only suppsed to 'listen to' GOD?????
@neilrowland5165
No one should follow the pope, or annnnnny man.
A True Christian should ooooooonly follow YESHUA.
Yes, I agree too! I sometimes wonder if he might have already converted or is going to become Catholic sometime soon. However, it's possible that he won't ever admit it, or not anytime soon, because he knows that, for better or worse, he can reach more people (as Bishop Barron recently admitted) because he's in a suit and tie and not in a Roman collar. I don't know, just some thoughts. 🤷🏽♀️
I wish Tammy Peterson every good wish and blessing as she is welcomed into the Church next week at Easter. Our prayers are with you and all new Catholics at this Holy time. 🙏🏼❤️
He is leading the conversion to Catholicism in this part of the planet 😊
There is always renewal in the Church and there are always those who embrace the world instead. Where the Church is growing there is joy
He’s talking about churches that do this but obviously there are good n bad churches…not all just the ones you choose to go to
The catholic church that I walked away from at 14 put 40 years between and a relationship with God.I found God in a converted pool hall in a Perth suburb at age 55.Radically born again, Thank you Jesus.
There is a growing remnant deep within the Catholic Church if you care to see it, Jordan. What happened to your memories from your visit to Franciscan University in Steubenville.
The Remnant is still alive and exists for all. Seek and you shall find it!
I went to Steubenville in tge 90’s. Horrible experience. Almost list my faith in God and the catholic faith
But the current head is rotten, with all due respect to the seat of St. Peter. Don’t underestimate the ability of a rotten head to rot the whole body.
Christ is the head of the Church. Impossible to rot it.
@solrubrum Christ is the head of His true church, the body of Christ. They follow Him and Him alone, not man made doctrine. But, Lord, Lord, we healed the sick in your name, we cast out demons in your name, but he said to them..."depart from me, I never knew you"
As a Catholic I am so grateful for Dr Peterson, he is doing disciple’s job as priests got too comfortable and abandoned their flock. Shame on them, soon they will pay the highest price while grinding teeth…
I left the church as an adolescent and found Jesus in the evangelical movement. I still think that the Catholic Church is important.
I surrrrrrre hope you're not worshipping and following the ANTI-Christ,
ConAll Dump, now, rather thsn GOD & YESHUA(?).
Because sooooooooo many evangelicals now WORSHIP and follow the ANTI-Christ, rather than GOD & YESHUA, now.
Though, that is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Then you need to come back and effect change for good.
Spot on. Stop worrying about climate change and bring back true worship. The Christ is our brother, crowd has played itself to death. Christ is also THE SON OF GOD.
Bring back the organ; the communion railings; the solemnity; the sacred silence; the beauty; the architecture; the music. We have had enouogh of churches that look more like theaters and altars that look like performing stages. Enough of the Broadway tunes dressed up to sound like hymns. Enough of social justice foolishness. We want to come to Church, to attend mass, to find peace, solace, to worship. Not to be presented with the same stuff outside, dressed up to look like religion.
Spot on
Jesus Christ is our Saviour and only through him do we enter heaven
You’re sooo right. Everybody teaches Christ is our friend and brother. Nobody teaches that He is also our Lord and Master anymore. I pray everyday for the return of true worship and for God to cut off those preachers that have led His sheep astray and finally to guide His saints to pastors after His heart.
I urge anyone who reads this message to join me in that prayer.
I was visiting my daughter and took my grandchildren to Mass at a new church and my 5 yr old granddaughter thought we were in a theater because of the way the pews and sanctuary were set up.
In my area a traditional church was burnt down and after years and millions of dollars the new church looks more like a coloseum and we look DOWN towards the altar. The Tabernacle is in a separate area and sits on a stainless steel table that would look more appropriate in a laboratory.
My parish church was consecrated in 1963 and while it looks modern compared to the older traditional churches it has a beautiful gold Tabernacle is up high front and center of the sanctuary. The altar is marble and raised 3 steps higher than the rest of the sanctuary. There is a Communion rail made of marble and the sanctuary gate has a beautiful ChiRo in the center. There are two side chapels in the sanctuary, one with a statue of Our Lady with infant Jesus and the other of St Joseph the worker.
We're blessed to have such beautiful and sacred place for worship.
@@annarodriguez9868 One of the local Catholic churches has the Tabernacle in an alcove. I stated on facebook - Isn't that like having a birthday party and asking the guest of honor to sit in another room?
I hope the Magisterium of the Church takes note.
❤ Jordan Peterson 🥰
Dr. Jordan Peterson also has a great respect for Buddhism, and the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. He has appreciation for any religion and philosophy that has good teachings that are kind, beneficial, and help mankind.
Amen, we cannot save this planet. At some point God will create a new heaven & a new earth. We must work on our soul so that we can be with God on the new heaven & new earth. JP is exactly right. Fixing our soul is the only thing that matters.
I can see Jordan standing in St. Peters square, yelling at the guitar players & "hippies" to *"Get Offa My Lawn."*
The Christian end (telos ?) is not crucifixion ...it's the Resurrection .
TY for your thoughtful comment. Jesus is the Alpha or Christmas and the Omega or Easter. And His Story all pivots on Good Friday.
The story of Jesus' death includes both. You can't have one without the other. That's literally the message. Carry your cross(a lofty goal that saves humanity) and maybe you will be ressurected in the afterlife as you make it to heaven.
Biggest problem people will not read the Bible and pray for understanding!
It has been my experience as a Catholic convert that parishners are not encouraged enough to read the Bible for themselves or provided the support to do it effectively. There is also too much emphasis on what the Church teaches versus what the Bible (and Jesus) teaches. This is especially the case with children as I find that my kids know little of Bible stories and how they might apply to our lives despite attending Catholic school K through grade 3.
@@jamiemiller5269 Catholic (lukewarm) in her seventies here. At the age when reading the bible might be of some profit, reading it was forbidden. Forbidden. Even the nuns did not read it. You could read your missel, your catechism, but not the bible. They certainly did not want you to interpret any snippet yourself.
I tell EVERYBODY... everything you need to know is in the Bible. It's a design for living and truth of his word.
❤
@@noreenmcgovern1023 Where is that is the Bible?
I like Jordan Peterson, and think that he should attend more Catholic services and talk with more priests. There’s so much depth in our church. if he wants to remain a critical thinker, that’s OK because God created us that way God gave us all different abilities so that we can learn from each other. If we have compassion and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us without the Holy Spirit guiding us we’re lost. We are lost without the Holy Spirit.
JP has Holy Spirit.
Only man needs “labels” and “names”. But only one thing is truly needed. He’s the Living Word of the One True God ❤
The great discussions are Jordan Peterson with Bishop Robert Barron, who can answer JP's questions and build his appreciation for the Church.
The Traditional Latin Mass is rapidly growing world wide especially with young people and families, for the reasons JP allude to.
One thing Mr Peterson that is right in the Catholic church, and she holds the true body and blood of christ . The true meal of eternal life.
Brilliant analysis, as usual
Mark 7:9. Then He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, so that you may observe your own tradition.
(A Faithful Version)
Yes!
Loved this
Dr. Peterson you are so right! God bless you and your family. I love my Jesus. I love my Holy Catholic Church - my beautiful faith! The gates of hell will never prevail against her despite the damage being wrought against her from within and the chaos and scandal resulting!
"There are many paths over the mountain."
Bravo! Ditto! And more of this! He gets it and the Pope doesn't.
JP could be the next Scott Hahn our church needs!
Our church?? The one TRUE, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic faith.
@@tonieder1549
The RCC's view of the church is completely at odds with the NT. It is the Scripture, and it alone, that is the guide for all Christians. The church on earth must submit to the Scriptures.
In addition , the idea that the RCC is the church that Christ setup, and that all believers must submit to it, is also rejected in the Scriptures in the strongest possible manner.
The RCC bears no resemblance to the church which is portrayed in the NT. Their view is only obtainable if one approaches the Scriptures with such rigid theological misconceptions that they must “mis-interpret” these verses to conform it to their own theological system.
If you are absolutely commit yourself to the LITERAL, GRAMMATICAL, HISTORICAL HERMENEUTIC you will be able to understand the "Full Counsel of God" and come to the conclusion the church is not the RCC.
KEY POINT: Literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic is the same approach used in ordinary communication. In fact American jurisprudence rests upon this interpretive approach.
The dictionary defines literal interpretation that is "based on the actual words in their ordinary meaning...not beyond the facts.
In addition, it should be noted in passing that literal interpretation has been unfairly criticised on the basis that it adheres to a wooden, inflexible literalism that fails to allow for types, symbols, figures of speech and genre distinctions. Literalism does not preclude or exclude correct understanding of types, illustrations, apocalypses, and other genres within the basic framework of literal interpretation.
It is not too difficult to account for the widespread approval of the spiritualizing or allegorizing method adopted by many conservative theologians as well as liberal and ROMAN CATHOLIC expositors. Fundamentally its charm lies in its flexibility. The interpreter can change the literal and grammatical sense of Scripture to make it coincide with it own system of interpretation.
Shalom
I hope that never happens
As someone who studied physics at a Jesuit university and understands both… religion always runs afoul when it ties itself to science. Our scientific understanding is always evolving, and religion is umbrella that is unshakable and immovable against changes in culture. JP is right again
He is extremely, extremely intelligent.
Love it...everybody's on their own path.
God gave us a beautiful planet. Not caring about it is like rejecting this gift from God! He is very right about the Cross, but caring for the planet is part of it, as is caring for others!
The high priests tried to catch Jesus in a political trap. Hoping he would say he was more important than Caesar. He knew what they were up to and instead said "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God". That part of the Bible should have caused the Pope to stay away from politics. His desire to change the Lord's prayer was not holy, but arrogant. The part of the prayer that says" lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil", is a plea to ask God to protect us from ourselves. After all Jesus was made man. So he knew how easy it is for a man to run away with himself. The Catholic faith gave me a foundation to start from. The bottom line of Christianity is to have God in your life, and keep God in your life.
"There are plenty of things the Catholic Church got right."
Yes - but it's the things that the Catholic Church gets wrong that are most critical to salvation.
The Catholic Church didn't quite "lose faith" in its great mission. Rather, it decided to trust the advice of marketing experts over the power of its own doctrine. It was a huge mistake...but it wasn't the Church's first mistake. Listen to Peterson's analysis of the Third Commandment in this video -- ua-cam.com/video/Bb0bN0zk9Gw/v-deo.htmlsi=YDmRgzkq-LjndCSL -- and reflect!
Are you saying that 3000 bishops were swayed by a marketing company, show me the proof!

The catholic church, itself, is in direct opposition and contradiction of, and fundamentally disobeys muuuuuuuuch of the commandments and guidance given in
The Bible.
The catholic church is a verrrrrrrrrrrry flawwwwwwwwwed institution, created by man, and has been grossly perverse throughout its history.
The institution is built around benefitting and serving those highest up in its hierarchy, which is very political.
It is rife with sin.
It is corrupt to the core.
Hence its infestation of pedophiles for hunnnnnnnndreds of years, or longer, and the aiding and abetting of these wicked and demonic pedophiles, and cover up of their abominable sins and crimes, which is at leeeeeeeeast as bad as the molestations, themselves.
The church has been a haven for demons for a lonnnnnnnng tiiiiiiiime
As a catholic, I find this to be a fair criticism
awesome man
This man is amazing!,,
When asked why he didn't step in to the church he replied "because I live on the edge of things."
As clever as the answer was he is smart enough to know it's inadequate for revealed paths to salvation.
He'll join I would be willing to bet.
i just hope he will soon truly accept christ and testify to His grace and mercy
I left the Catholic Church 40 years ago. I started reading the bible. Nevertheless the number one issue which turns people from church is the lack of love of Christians. There is the famous story that Ghandi tried to find out more about Jesus at a church in South Africa and he was refused admission. On UA-cam I see so called Christians attacking pastors they disagree with, and some of the stuff is vicious. Once you follow Christ’s command to love people things would improve.
Yes, MAGA is allllllllll about HAAAAAAAAAAATE and self-righteousness.
And worshipping the ANTI-Christ,

They put Dump and HAAAAAAAAATE above GOD, YESHUA, The Holy Spirit, and LOVVVVVVVE.
Loving thy enemy, and Loving thy neighbor thyself.
Annnnnnny group or movement built on HAAAAAAAATE is clearrrrrrrrrrly in direct OPPOSITION of GOD, YESHUA, The Holy Spirit, and The Bible.
As the song says, "... You will know we are Christians by our Love, by our Love. Yrs you will know we are Christians by our LOVE."
Notttttttt by one's hate.
Hate is of Satan.
The one ConAll Dump clearly represents.
You are right, the Catholic Church does not love those different faith groups as brothers. 1 John 4:20-21, it is sounding gong 1 Cor. 13. It spends far to much time navel-gazing and promoting self righteousness.
Join Tammy, Jordan!

H doesn’t have to. Free will. Also he knows 1000 percent more about this subject than most credible theologians. It may not be good for his platform now. You believe in what you want. You don’t need his permission🙏🏼

I just subbed, Darling.
He is on his path to the Faith.
In Québec (use to be very very catholic) people don't read the bible. You can't even get one at church!
Of those left in church (mostly 60yo+) a lot are catholic only 1h/week and you can see the rush to get out of the church as soon as it getting close to the end.
On the other hand, I am gratefull that the church, community is still there at least the flame is not completely out, there is still hope.
You're right about Québec. It used to be the cradle (berceau) of Catholicism in Canada. I grew up with the Novus Ordo Mass (the Mass of Vatican 2). When I discovered the Traditional Mass, I thought I was in Heaven. There's a very big difference between the two. The New Mass is more like a Protestant service. Now the Pope is trying to eliminate the Traditional Mass. People who go to the old Mass read the Bible and also use a Missal, which is available in Latin with the modern language beside it. As you say, there is still hope.

He may not admit it because he doesn’t want to play into the world. He’s just as human as the rest of us as smart as he may be. It’s obvious he’s on the path. His actions are speaking LOUDLY.
Jordan Peterson is awesome and spot on
..confident that JP will become a catholic?..how about just becoming a Christian, maybe even an evangelical ❤
Because Jesus founded his Church with the apostles and traditionally, we adhere to what the apostles and churches fathers passed on to us!🙄😒
And you cant start your own church just because you "protest" .
@@myriamc.delusional my friend? The RCC went off the rails more than 500 years ago.
I think Dr. Peterson is right about many things. But this is what he is expert at...speaking in generalities and never quite answering the question...attempting to address a mystery by appealing to a greater mystery. Which might make a good sound bite but ultimately does nothing to clarify.
After several decades I recently decided to go back to church. I went several times to the local Catholic church and each week the priest's sermons were political campaign speeches, telling the congregation which side of politics was the evil side (the conservatives, of course) and which way we should vote (vote left, of course). I told him that faith is above politics, and that I came to church to worship God and to have my faith encouraged, not to be lectured on politics and told how to vote. He told me the content of his sermons is ordered by the bishop and that he cannot disobey the bishop.
So I decided to go to the local Anglican church and I was pleased that the Anglican priest's sermons are not about politics but about faith. He encourages people's faith, paraphrased roughly in his words, "so that individuals may be in a sense transfigured like Christ and his disciples during the transfiguration, and rise above the affairs of the world and be able to see for themselves what is true and right and good to do." That was a little over a year ago and since then I have been attending services regularly. I even have Holy Communion.
Any house of worship that promotes politics, allows a politician to address the congregation, or allows national (state) tokens such as national flags, or allows idols and graven images, is truly not a house of God but a house of Babylon.
I have to agree with this assessment.
The problem with Catholicism is legalism. 😢
I would agree. Thanks for sharing. He needs to dig deeper, however, on his take on history. The people who were/are behind his persecution are the same people who have given us the narrative of history that we have swallowed "hook, line, and sinker." Dig deeper, Dr. Peterson, the truth is waiting for you to discover it.
As a Catholic I miss Pope John Paul II. That is how the Catholic Church should be led.
It is entirely possible to clip UA-cam videos into shorts.
LOVE JP
Relationship....friendship with Lord Jesus is top priority❤❤❤
Jung once said that if you want to be told what to do then join the Catholic Church.
So....🤔what do you do with the 10 commandments that GOD prescribed? 😅
@@mr.liberty5086 How do you know Jung "didn't understand the Scriptures." The man had a rare genius that you do not possess.
True. They can be rough with the discipline of learning. Some parishoners need it.
Soo true. Way better to let the Government tell you what to do or woke corporations. Amen to that
Who doesn't want to be told what do by God...
I enjoy hearing Jordan Peterson explain and expound on those things of value. I do not find the Roman Catholic church to be of any value. If anything the Roman Catholic church contradicts all that is biblical. I pray Jordan Peterson would come to repentance that would redeem him to Jesus Christ and not to the "Queen of Heaven", but to follow the Roman Catholic belief dogma would only lead him to hell.
53 year old lifelong Catholic who just started reading the Bible. Read the Bible and you have much greater appreciation and understanding.
More Bible in a Sunday mass than a lifetime from a protestant pastor's service.
Four full Scriptue readings every Sunday.
The Mass is mostly Scripture.
I started reading a Bible a co-worker gave me at work in my season of distress. Later, I accepted Bible study from the Witnesses, having appreciated their bible tracks when they came to my door. I, raised a Catholic, recommend you contact Jehovah's Witnesses for a free Bible study, as I did. I find their translation of scripture excellent too - the best translation available. Scripture seems so plainly sensible when bible themes are properly established. They have a website, as well, you may wish to examine.
As a treat, enjoy the short movie, King Hezekiah Trusts in Jehovah - awesome music and epic climax. The actors are pretty good, especially the one who plays bad-ass King Sennachirib.
It really depends on which parish you go to. My parish is a vibrant place to worship and take communion assuming you are soul is clear of serious sin. Then go to Sacrement of reconciliation and confess first. My Priest is a fine pastor and a faithful priest. I too was certain that he would eventually to the Catholic faith. He was too far into knowledge and history to miss the reality of the true faith.
While I see Dr Peterson embracing Christianity, I didn't hear him say he was considering becoming Catholic. Embracing Jesus' message is what is important not what group you pick to belong to.
Spot on as usual for JP. When a kumbitah guitars entered the church they brought the whole proposition of their way of honoring God to naught.
