    As a Roman Catholic, I thank you Father Calvin for respecting my faith. I get tired of people just casually bashing my fellow Catholics and it's refreshing to hear men of God who may not exactly be Catholic, but have my respect and admiration well enough.
    Thank you.

      ​@@OzCrusaderWhy would he do that? What benefit would it be to him? The same ideology that has taken over the Church of England is taking over the Church of Rome. The only difference is that the Church of Rome is 30 years behind the Church of Rome. 30 years from now the Church of Rome will be in the exact place the Church of England is in currently. So, unless Rev. Calvin is planing on a short life switching to the Church of Rome is a waste of time and is a solution to nothing.

    Great to see the Free Church of England getting some promotion! They're a humble lot, but as the CofE crumbles into heresy and apostasy the FCE stands firm on God's Word. Its also lovely to see a Highchurchman entering the FCE, it needs to be broad in practice and strict on theology. God bless you Fr Calvin, keep up the good work.

      As a Catholic, I can see your point of view and, at least in a theological context, actually agree with you. However, I see it merely as an expression of culture and tradition to honor them and less to deify them. But I can completely see why many Protestant denominations can't get on board with it. To each their own I say, which makes every kind of Christian a bit unique and different, in a good way that is.
      All I know my friend is we are Christians before being Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Mormon etc. And I support your right to worship as you please. There's a common assault on all of Christendom and we need to stick together. We are all the historic faith of the West, and all of our sects and denominations are being subverted or destroyed in the Western World. Christians, nonbelievers of Christian background/heritage and anyone who is fond of Christianity regardless of background are all in a common struggle as far as I can tell.
      That's my perspective though, not trying to put words in your mouth one way or the other. I appreciate your perspective and wish the best.

    Strongly recommend the Movie "Cromwell", to anyone who is interested in the Civil War period and the Puritans versus Cavaliers conflict, Richard Harris is excellent as the pious Cromwell and it has a excellent cast of accomplished English actors of the period, I always thought it ironic that Harris an Irishman from Limerick and educated by the Jesuits would be cast to play a Englishman whose name is almost a cuss word in Ireland. While as a Historical Movie it is way above many others as to accuracy it does take some liabilities as to who said what, but it does get most of it right and it explains some of the idiosyncratic traditions around the Kings opening of Parliament.

    8:00 Calvin is spot on with this. we need to focus on what we have in common more than what divides us. While surely some things are good and correct and others are... not, and it's certainly possible for some sect or other to believe some real heresy (which is a label i don't think we should use lightly), I think that anyone genuinely seeking out God has his soul in the right place, even if the backwardness of his theology needs some correcting. I've attended both protestant and catholic ceremonies and have certainly felt the presence of God in both. we should take time to remember that we're squabbling brothers, not bitter enemies.

    4:30 On this note, just go back to the Old Testament and read about the design off the temple in Jerusalem and the Arc, and then tell me it's indulgent to have awe inspiring churches. And that was God's design.
    When I went to Rome and saw Saint Peter's Basilica my main thought was - if you would convert to Catholicism anywhere, this would be the place. It is the most beautiful church I have seen in my life. And I have seen a fair share of churches through my travels around Europe. Simplicity can be nice, but I would be lying if I ever claimed the gorgeous Catholic churches didn't tingle me and make the church-going experience just a little bit better.

    I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and I am glad to see Father Calvin is not part of the woke established Anglican Church. I am glad he sees that the Protestants, while correct to be opposed to overbearing Papism, have completely over-corrected by throwing tradition out of the window. In our Church, we don't have the Pope as the head of the Church, and we don't even have our Ecumenical Patriarch as head of the Church, we have Christ at the head of the Church. I think Father Calvin would be a great fit for the Orthodox Church, but I understand the Orthodox Church might be a little bit foreign for most people in Britain.

    In all fairness, the cofe’s via media is not a middle ground between Rome and Geneva, but between Geneva and Zurich. Bear in mind Thomas Cartwright was advocating for Presbyterian polity in the court of HM Elizabeth I.
    The cofe was very, very nearly Presbyterian - easy to forget now.
    Also, there were royalist puritans, and puritans who were very happy with aesthetics. It is common now in the dissident right to speak badly of puritans; I’m thinking specifically of that terribly basic take of Doyle and Starkey, re woke as the ‘new puritans’. It’s historically ill informed and politically ill fitting, disproven by a cursory reading of any major English puritan. Go and read pilgrim’s progress, which shaped Anglican piety as much as any other text of devotion. (Her Late Majesty EII read from it in her first Christmas broadcast.) If the stereotype of the dour, whitewashed puritan is true, then why do the archetypal puritan characters dance? Why do they sing? Why do look at Christian art? That’s your first sign that we’re not engaging with real history here. The second will come in the form of their original works. Id heartily recommend Watson’s doctrine of repentance, Owen’s Communion With God, Bayly’s Practice of Piety, and Scougal’s Life With God.

    I have a ton of respect for my High Anglican brothers and sisters, as I grew up in a very Anglo-Catholic parish in the Deep South. Once I saw even my extremely conservative parish get straddled with a priest giving DEI masses and blaspheming, I went on a journey that led me to the history of the Oxford Movement, St. John Henry Newman, and inevitably to Rome. I pray that one day my Anglo-Catholic brothers and sisters can be reunited in communion with Rome. Anglican Ordinariate parishes are a jewel of the Catholic Church in the english speaking world. Sadly they are few in number. I pray one day they’re common and full of former Protestants like myself that have returned home. I was so ashamed at how the Ordianiate in London treated Fr. Calvin a few years ago. It was a great opportunity lost because of the pride of a liberal priest. Hopefully they reconcile in the future. God bless all

I gather that her likes all the trappings of the Catholic Church - NONE of which the the early Christian’s had - Paul and Peter and James and John had!! Even Jesus Himself lived a simple life and held the last supper in a simple room with a simple table! Services and preaching and teaching took place in people’s homes a rosaries and statues did It exist!! So the Puritans and reformed churches have dropped all this business of satisfying the senses and making people feel they are experiencing something if God …. To focus on satisfying the hungry soul of the believer who desires to feed on the Word of God and remember His death in a simple way - and not be distracted but unbiblical additions. Never heard of Paul saying the rosary - but from what I have heard Calvin say, he does.

    I'm a former General Baptist with a strong background in nondenominational Protestant fundamentalism. On many points, my theology is virtually the opposite of what Robinson's is. He's a Calvinist, whereas I'm an Arminian-Molinist. He prefers high-church congregations, whereas I prefer low-church congregations. He's an episcopalian, whereas I'm a congregationalist. He's a pedobaptist, whereas I'm a credobaptist. He is respectful of Roman Catholicism, whereas I strongly dislike Romanism and Popery. However, on the important points - the Trinity, the virgin birth of Jesus, the crucifixion of Christ - we agree. We also agree that Occidental Christianity has become theologically and culturally liberal and we think Christianity should play a bigger role in society. As a Protestant integralist, I think conservative Protestant denominations should work together to reintroduce biblical morality into our respective nations.

    I'm a Reformed Christian. I think Calvin has got some good points here. There should be a hierarchy of theological points to value. If the Gospel message is expressed truthfully by a church then that should be our Number 1 concern. Everything else is secondary and needs to align with scripture and the gospel. I wish there was a way to rectify the barriers that separate true believers between the different denominations. A reunification of the denominations to make clear where the true church is would be a great blessing. Let's pray that this can happen, God's will be done.

By his death and resurrection the communion of saints (those who follow his word on this earthly realm) will be at one with him just as the one God is three beings now and forever, world without end. Amen.

    I am very glad to know that there are some in the Anglican Communion trying to seek the old paths. However, I strongly dissent from the speakers' characterization of the Puritans. My advice to anyone who thinks the Puritans were just a bunch of dreary roundhead prudes would be to *read* the Puritans. Read Richard Sibbes "The Bruised Reed," or Thomas Goodwin's "Christ Set Forth." These men had a deep experiential faith in Jesus Christ, not distracted by high forms of liturgy. These "smells and bells" delight the mind because they seem very antique and holy, but at the end of the day, what is the difference between a censer and a smoke machine? Perhaps for once we should not ask how we want to worship God but ask how He would like to be worshiped. The golden adornments of the tabernacle and temple existed to show Old Covenant believers types and shadows of the spiritual realities that we have as New Covenant believers. Do not allow your worship of God to be distracted by things which only delight the flesh.

    I don't think the choice of interior/exterior design of a church is as important as the intended meaning behind that choice. A group of believers may decide to invest in a rich and beautiful church building as an act of worship to God, but a different group might do the same as an act of vain self-exaltation. Likewise, a group of believers might go for a much simpler, cheaper church building to express humility, but another group might do the same as an act of laziness and apathy towards worship. God sees what is in peoples' hearts and does not judge solely by outward appearance.

    Many protestants were martyred before and after the reformation for their beliefs and this should not be blithely brushed over because our simple churches aren't beautiful and some puritans were nutters. Come on. Do a bit of homework.

    The CofE haven’t abandoned their belief or faith as Calvin is stating.
    They are simply discarding the dualist and exclusive doctrines which Jesus would not have recognised, for policies he would recognise, that of non dualism and inclusivity and oneness!
    So sad to see so many egos at work within Christianity clambering for their truth to prevail.

    • @notthatkindofanglican
      @notthatkindofanglican 11 місяців тому

      Ordination is a change in one ontology in service to Christ. Therefore a bishop remains a bishop always. A bishop ordained in one church can ordain a bishop in another church. Apostolic succession is bishop to bishop.
      Don't just read the papal bull about Anglican ordination. Read also the refute from the archbishop's of Canterbury and York.
      Also, the CofE recognises FCE ordinations and Fr Calvin could return to CofE if he wants to (or indeed any Anglican church).
      To address the other points... CofE isn't Protestant it is Reformed Catholic and there is a difference.
      Finally, Anglicans do believe in real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. How is a mystery and therefore transubstantiation is an explanation not found in scripture. Therefore we can only say with certainty that the real presence is of a spiritual nature. That doesn't make it any less of a real presence.
      I hope these points help to understand the Anglican position (whether you agree with them or not).

They did not continually sack the country but tried to impose their rule mainly, so the Roman bishop tried to get along with them.though the Byzantine Imperial capital of N Italy was in Ravenna. ( An Ostrogothic king, Theoderic took over Ravenna and ruled there very competently by the way)
    Byzantium at the time had the Metropolitan in Constantinople but he did not usually consider himself the head of the Orthodox Churches , and if he did there was trouble and he would be deposed. they did not consider the bishop of Rome head of the Church.
