As a frequent SRS listener, thank you for this. Every time he says something along the lines of interpreting for yourself or "just read it", I want to scream. The question of authority is a big reason why I converted; and that question is why there are thousands of protestant denominations.
Keith, I am so glad that I found your videos on youtube. I'm and old fossil in my 80s, and I was brought up in the protestant realm. Since I discovered your channel, I have been able to figure out the Catholic Faith more fully. My parents were old Arky "hellfire and brimstone Bible thump[in' Baptists". And now that I have discovered your story, it gives me hope that maybe I can become a better, wiser person in the Lord. There is a small Catholic Church up here in Oracle Az., Saint Helen's, that I am trying to work up the courage to go talk to the Priest there,. Please pray for me. And also, please continue making these videos. You are a great teacher. And thanks again for your help. God Love Ya!
As a fellow Arizonan, I couldn’t help but comment. I sincerely hope you reach out. I did a small amount of research and was able to determine that Fr. Balaswamy Kommathoti (the Pastor) is quite busy. He is in charge of three parishes (Oracle, Mammoth and San Manuel). The secretary’s name is Tracy (according to the parish bulletin) and the RE Director is Maria. Call Tracy and see if the priest is available. If not consider asking for an appointment to meet with Maria who can help you sign up for RCIA classes or just meet with you and help answer questions. (I used to be very involved with helping the RE Director here at my parish in Tucson before Covid so I know how things kinda work… 🤗). Anyhow… Hope this helps. 🙏🏼❤️
@@andip.9808 What a grace. You have my prayers as well. And I hope you find the courage to go. There really i9s nothing to worry over. When I was younger I had strayed some from the church to pursue worldly desires. When I felt the grace to return after some years, even as a cradle Catholic, I felt that apprehension about confessing all my sins so I could receive the eucharist at mass in a state of grace. Prayed on it a good deal, did a full examination of conscience, and made an appointment for a general confession. The priest was so gracious and kind, seemed genuinely moved, and so genuinely welcoming. I have no doubt you will make his day. This is exactly what they dedicated their entire life to. I suspect he will be greatly moved as I hope you are as well.
Hi @LeeAnneBeal, I don't know if you heard about: "The Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz", in which he walks you through the entire Bible in 365 episodes. He also has "The Catechism in a Year ". Maybe that can help you too. God bless you! 🙏🏼
@@raymondbencak7539Wow. This is blowing my mind! Surprised it went so fast.. Ive seen Shawns progression and felt he would stonewall it for a bit. This is great to see🫂 I hope he can have Fr Ripperger, Fr Iannuzzi or even Fr Rossetti though the Questions he seems to have are right up the alley of Fr R or Fr I.... Praying it happens. Folks NEED the Information to squash misinformation
I am very new to Catholicism and am not yet confirmed. I just started RCIA (now OCIA) 4 weeks ago, and you Keith, have been a huge part of my conversion so far! You describe the Catholic Church so beautifully and make it much easier to understand. This channel is a godsend. I had so many preconceived notions about the church that were completely incorrect! That being said, this is one of your very best videos ever in my opinion! I have not watched the show you are speaking of, but I still got so much out of this video! I’m so grateful for it! I ask that all who read this will Pray for me and my conversion! 🙏
Welcome home. Please whatch couple of good podcast/show like shameless popery, called to communion, journey home, Catholic productions, patristics pillars etc, Steubenville conference, Dr Scott Hahn, Dr Peter Kreeft, Dr Brant Pitre. Pax Christi
Man I'm so glad you did a video on this because even though i enjoyed the podcast i felt as if Shawn wasn't content with the answer and neither was I. U recently came back to the faith a year ago. The Eucharist never gets old. Great video!
I really feel for Shawn, a lot of us were so poorly catechized that we didnt understand what we were walking away from when we did. Also, the 80s and 90s were so damaging to be raised in the lukewarm banners and folk music church. Its different when you are raised Catholic - a lot is taken for granted and not explained.
When a person believes he can decide what “truth” is in the Bible, he becomes Protestant. When a person realizes, with humility, that God’s truth inevitably requires submission to authority, he becomes Catholic.
Well said Keith, you brought up a lot of the same things I was thinking when I listened to that Shawn Ryan episode. I really hope he sees this and comes back home!
At the end of the interview with Fr Reehill, Fr invited Shawn to Mass and confession. I thought to myself, Shawn will revert back to Catholicism. It’s only a matter of time.
Anyone who has been to Confession, full of guilt and confessed their sin and received the sacrament of reconciliation, will know for certain that it is a blessing from God and the weight of sin lifted from them is miraculous. Thanks be to God 🙏
His interview with Fr. Reehil was fascinating! A must watch! ✨ - Kieth, Bravo 👏🏻 on the explanation about confession. On a side note, I’m convinced The Warning is going to happen in the next seven years… it’s not far away.
That was not a great answer, and could be taken very out of context and miss understood. I don’t think any other priest would word that answer in that way 🥴
I really enjoy Shawn’s interviews and I hope he sees your testimony and maybe he can bring you on. PS I attended a big Calvary Chapel for about 14 years and have come home to the Catholic Church.
Thank you Keith! I’m a big fan of yours and I just recently discovered Shawn Ryan’s show. I watched that interview with Fr Dan Rehil and it was awesome. I didn’t see the Megan Kelly interview but you have explained this very well Keith and I totally agree. If not we’d be like the many thousands of Protestant churches out there. That’s what makes us strong and we’ve been around for over 2000 years. The Catholic Church was the very first franchise ever. I love my priest and traditions of the church. I hope Shawn has you on his show soon. God bless you Keith 😊🙏🏻
This is amazing Keith. I think it could be of great service, now that you put up a video it will be in the algorithm when they look up Shawn hopefully they can find your video to get more clarity
Great video. This was a recent reading at Mass that I think is great for this topic too: "Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was." Hebrews 5:1-4
I saw that episode and I have to agree that the priest didn't quite understand where Shawn was coming from, he had a good answer but it was inadequate. Dom Raso keeps Shawn supplied with Rosaries so lets keep praying for Shawn.
Keith! I've been watching Shawn's podcast lately too. I know the episode you were referring to--I just watched it yesterday--with Fr. Dan Reehil. Great response video my friend. I'm thinking that Shawn will be finding his way back to the Holy Catholic Church before too long.
AMEN. Thank you Keith. I will look James’ podcast up 🙏🏻. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers Keith, on the way to 200,000.🙏🏻You’re helping so many souls 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great response Kieth. I saw that interview with Michale Knowles & Fr. Reehil as well and this was a great followup and well laid out. I know you didn’t post this for this reason but having you have a conversation/interview with Shawn would be amazing and one I would not miss. On a side note looking forward to seeing you speak at the Great Lakes Catholic Mens conference coming up on November 23rd
I love Shawn too and you hit the nail on the head when you remarked about his confidence and humility. I never really thought of that before, but now i think that is what has drawn me to him and makes me love him so much....not to mention what he has done while serving and protecting this country! Great message Keith!
So glad you/someone did this video!! I thought I can’t be the only one who thought the priests answers weren’t really getting to the heart of Shawn’s questions, which was very disappointing for him and for anyone else hearing the answers for the first time. Thanks Keith, I hope he sees your video 🙏🏻
why would I go to a doctor when I can just use google to selfdiagnose ? Jesus Christ established a church, a community of believers for a reason, we aren't made to be isolated islands on our own, each our own pope, convinced we have the Holy Spirit and the other 5000 denominations are obviously misguided. these 'reasonable objections' are actually the spirit of pride and rebellion talking. look at the state of protestantism to see its fruits.
Excellent video. I had the SAME sentiments re: the Fr. Dan Rehill show. I even posted the same verse in the book of John in the comments! Can’t find it now. Where would we be without the prophets, priests and kings of the OT, mediating the covenants between God and men?
This is fantastic Keith! Shawn needs Fr Ripperger on as well. Shawns Questions would be more fully answered by him🎉 the Audience would get so much clarity as to what's actually going on
Well said, I was frustrated that that specific question of Shaun’s wasn’t answered more directly, but I love and deeply admire Fr. Reehill , so I just accepted it. Thank you for following through with the inspiration you had to answer this, because I think it will help many people. I often feel many people have an issue with Confession because of their pride and it can feel embarrassing, but I always think the amazing peace I feel afterwards far exceeds any embarrassment I might feel. Plus, if you have a personal relationship with Christ, then you shouldn’t be ashamed to ask him for forgiveness and make peace with him. Plus, God knows how human psychology works, he knows that when we are troubled, it always makes us feel better to speak your someone. Our words have power, when we speak our sins out loud and ask for forgiveness, it’s much more powerful than asking for forgiveness in our own head, home, etc. God works through his people, he doesn’t NEED us, but he uses us because he knows what we need, and to speak and hear the words out loud, You have been absolved of your sins, You are forgiven , go in 🕊️ Peace. That is much more powerful and real to us than just hoping we are forgiven. We are human, God created us, and he understands exactly what we need to be a success in our faith.
Keith: I can see you are "on fire" to have this conversation with Shawn. I have watched/listen to some of his podcasts and I definitely give it a thumbs up. It's great watching anyone who knows a lot, but is still excited to hear and know more. I get that vibe from Shawn. Try connecting to Dom Raso. He connects with both of your worlds. Apologies if you already know of him, but if not, he is an ex-seal (like Shawn) and an avid apostle for the rosary. Actually, now that I think of it, Dom and you having a sit down would be equally awesome. My best to you.
I've been praying for him, have caught several comments about our church that has disappointed me. I quit listening for awhile, but the talk with the priest was very promising.
Thank you Keith. When I heard what you said before you explain beautifully… I thought the same thing. It’s a God these things are gods they’re not middleman. When you mentioned Megan Kelly, I kind of gulped. She’s not any theologian. She’s not any amazing. Holy Catholic. She’s got her opinions. I don’t listen to her. But I hope that this fellow that you explained this to listens to you because you know what you’re talking about. God bless you, Keith. Julie
Prayer and faith will lead Shawn Ryan to conversion. God has already put so many of the right people and events in Shawn's path. All we need to do is to pray that this will intensify and lead Shawn to the ultimate decision.
I think Shawn is on his way back home to Mother Church. Btw Love Father Rwehill, bu yes, he needed to go deeper to answer this common Protestant question. Thanks, Keith. Your explanation will definitely help me when this comes up again..and it most certainly will
I love the way you summed up Shawn. He is a beutiful example of confidence, humility, and I would add competence. His ability and knowledge of certain things is well defined, and he never claims to have more than that. This pairs well with the kind of guests that he has, which are similarly disposed. He and his guests then are free to truth-seek in earnest, with no pretense.
Excellent video Keith! If God didn't have a middle man, it would be very confusing. Protestantism is very confusing, but God is not the author of confusion. God bless
As a frequent SRS listener, thank you for this. Every time he says something along the lines of interpreting for yourself or "just read it", I want to scream. The question of authority is a big reason why I converted; and that question is why there are thousands of protestant denominations.

Shawn posted a photo of himself with Fr. Rehill after Mass saying, “It feels good to be back at Mass”.

Hi Keith! Greetings from Michigan. God bless you!
Excellent, Keith!
Thank you Keith from Nigeria. You are such am inspiration!
Father Rehill told Shawn, “I am the middleman. Without a priest, you have no Eucharist and no Confession and that would be a terrible thing”.
