Im an Afghan Convert to Catholicism ❤. Im finally Home in the Bosom of the Catholic Church. 😊❤
Your Channel Is awesomee🎉
Welcome home.
God Bless
Welcome home to Christ’s Church 🙏🤍
Welcome Home
It is not a confession of faith or dogma that the Papist (Catholic) sectarians have not modified. For example, the Orthodox creed is unchanged and the Papist sect added that this is what they wanted. Read about the filioque heresy.
Welcome home! So happy to hear this! Praise be to God!! (And thank you!)
The belief in a purgatory is older than Christianity. The Jews prayed for the dead in Maccabees.
2 Maccabees 12:39-46. Martin Luther did not like that theology, as he desperately, almost maniacally craved assurance that Christians need do nothing, as we are filth before God. Yet, the vast majority who refuse the books of Maccabees are NOT Lutheran, disagreeing with Luther! Of course they do not follow "man" like Catholics do. Right.
Beam me up, Scotty!
That does not mean they believed in purgatory. Ezekiel 37 was not fulfilled yet at the time of Maccabees.
@@soteriology400 God is good. I want to see you oppose that.
Problem is most protestants exclude maccabees
@@frogasaur3848 As well as the writers themselves, who were Jews when it comes to what is considered as canon in Maccabees (Romans 3:1-3). If the RCC is going to consider Maccabees as canon, then I do not understand why they do not consider Josephus Wars as canon then? There is far more value to the history Josephus wrote during the destruction of the temple, than the history in Maccabees. There are a ridiculous amount of prophecies fulfilled during the destruction of the temple. What prophecy was fulfilled in Maccabees? By what standard are they using to determine what is canon if a historical document containing numerous fulfillment of prophecies is not included, but yet Maccabees is included? Makes no sense.
It was exactly this sort of thing that aided my conversion. Once I began to question the Protestant agenda regarding Catholicism I went through the list and found my way home. ❤
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing
Same. I was inundated in prot propaganda from highschool. It was like dominoes falling when I started questioning.
Welcome Home! Deo gratias!
So as long as you accept whatever the roman Catholic church tells you , you will be in good standing? I will now go do a wash of my clothing as I am sure I something brown in there that will protect me as God can not? 1251 A.D The Scapular invented by Simon Stock, an English monk.
What are the promises of the brown scapular?
The Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel has promised to save those who wear the scapular from the fires of hell; She will also shorten their stay in purgatory if they should pass from this world still owing some debt of punishment. This promise is found in a Bull of Pope John XXII.
There are many types of religious medals, necklaces, bracelets, and scapulars, but there's only one brown scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel that enjoys such rich blessings. In 1274, Our Lady presented the scapular to St. Simon Stock with the promise that those who die wearing it will escape the fires of hell
Do you agree with this ?
What did Jesus do on the cross?
Where do you find Mary the mother of Christ in doctrine?
Never stop making these videos bro, we need you in these confusing times!!!

Real list of catholic inventions:
Universities.
Hospitals, orphanages and various charitable activities.
The development of visual and musical arts.
The concept of universal human rights, international law, the fight against slavery and other forms of social injustice.
Scientific method and new scinntific disciplines:
acoustics (Mersenne), mineralogy (Agricola), modern chemistry (Lavoisier), modern anatomy (Vesalius), stratigraphy (Steno), bacteriology (Kircher and Pasteur), genetics (Mendel), analytical geometry (Descartes), heliocentric cosmology (Copernicus), atomic theory (Boscovich), and the Big Bang Theory on the origins of the universe (Lemaître).
And so on, ...
Amazing comment! Very true! And so much more.

Well said. I view all religions as balance sheets with assets and liabilities. Your list of Catholic assets is compelling and just a sample of the great things given to us by the church. Its liabilities are also numerous, but they are far outweighed by its assets.
@@SknappCFA Says you? Did you happen to be GOD? Or did Jesus Christ tell you that?
One correction: priests in the Eastern Catholic rites (as well as in Eastern Orthodox) CAN NOT MARRY (and never could) - but married man can become priests, unlike in the Western rite, when only unmarried men can become priests. Once you are a priest, you could never get married. Many people get that wrong.
You are correct about that. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I forgot to make that distinction in my rambling. So thanks for pointing that out. I will make a correction of it in my next video part 2.
Same applies to married permanent deacons. Married men can become permanent deacons, but single deacons may not marry. Likewise a deacon who is unlucky enough to become a widower is not permitted to remarry. Several years ago, I did hear of a case of a widowed deacon, here in the south of England, going on to the priesthood [he was originally ordained for the permanent diaconate, but after the tragedy of losing his wife, was able to progress to the priesthood. IDK if he had children.
Here are some Protestant invention beliefs....The "Bible Only" belief, Once saved always saved, the health and wealth gospel, "altar call", Salvation by faith alone, holy laughter, baptism in Jesus name only, The rapture, fellowship Bible pizza party, Sunday School classes, Christian singles dance party, slain in the spirit, revival tent meetings, Christian heavy metal music, Christian dance music...l can go on and on!

The late not so great Lorraine Boetnner seems to be the origin of this meme, and even before the Internet, anti Catholics were repeating Boetnner 's list, often without crediting him. Much of this is detailed in Karl Keating"s _Catholicism and Fundamentalism _ (1988)
Indeed. We plan to debunk him at some point as well. Most every anti-catholic argument Finds Its origin, not in Jesus or in history, but in Lorraine Boetnner.
Thank you! I'm definitely going to get that book! God bless.
I appluad the decision made for celibacy of priests. It's difficult but I view it as the priest's dedication of his service to the Lord!
God bless, protect, and guide our priests!
Amen.
❤️🔥
1 Tim 3:1-10 refutes the argument for celibacy of leadership. Pay attention to verse 5
Peter was married. He's supposedly the first Pope, but he never even visited Rome. If all the Pope's follow Peter's example, should they not be allowed to marry?
@@josephstocks7495 The roman Catholic church claims it to be a discipline as there is no scripture to back it up
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 hello. Much like how Paul favored celibacy, as I stated in my post, I appluad the decision made for celibacy. Remember, dear neighbor, not everything has been written in scripture. If it were, we'd have a sea of books, to put it lightly. Besides, I didn't start an argument, I made a comment on a positive note. It's their dedication to the Lord to focus on ministry. As we know, the family is, supposedly, where love abounds. Being celibate, however, poses a lot of challenges and is technically the priest saying they want to give their all to God. And so, is such dedication a bad thing, if I may ask?
God bless, dear neighbor!
❤️🔥
@@josephstocks7495 hello. I assume you actually read history as to the early beginnings of the Church? If not, I recommend you do so. Was it not in the Bible that if you had concerns, you take it to the Church? In other words, the "early Christians" laid the foundation for the Church today. Any concerns they had, they convened and came to a unanimous decision. It's a continuous process.
God bless, dear neighbor!
❤️🔥
God bless you I appreciate you being on the front lines of our religion
"your worship" is a title for the Mayor, not for a Judge. Judges in Britain are called "your lordship", because becoming a Judge makes you also a Lord.
Thank you for the clarification.
I've seen your worship used for judges in recent BBC productions, so at least some British writers think it's still valid usage.
Sort of like the title "worshipful master" i.e. President of a local lodge. Just an old fashioned term for someone respected that is so out of common use is a bit archaic and people come off with all kind of crazy explanations
I rarely see anyone complain about eastern orthodox or attack estern orthodox it's always roman Catholic church or the Catholic Church people complain about (people as in non Catholic Christians) at least on social media.
Isn’t that interesting? I have noticed the same thing. ❤
Exactly, they believe the same things and yet nobody says a peep usually about them.
Well Jesus did say it would happen to the members of His Church
John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
So the way I see it, bring it on, I have Christ on my side I can take it.
God Bless
The Catho,ic Church is the largest Christian sect and it is the oldest, in a tie with Easter Orthodox with whom they parted ways by mutual excommunication. That is my understanding, anyway.
I freely admit that I could be wrong (it will neither be the first nor the last time). Show me where and how and convince me. I will thank you for helping me stamp out error in my own thinking.
It's because in the West, Catholicism is the main apostolic church. If you were a protestant in eastern Europe you might hear more about Orthodoxy
When presented with an “invention”, always ask “where is the outcry and resistance from the faithful?”. There’s no evidence in history of pushback for such innovations
Very informative and truthful reporting! God bless you and more power to @Catholic Truth. 🙏
God boys you too!
Just on Catholics only receiving the Eucharist, I had an interesting experience at a funeral this week for a parishioner. Before the burial service a lady who was at the funeral service came up to my mother, my sister and myself and was like "I don't like the Priest" my sister immediately got defensive and was like "well, we love him" the lady was like "He doesn't give me communion" so we we're like "Are you Catholic?" She's like "no, it doesn't matter" so we had to inform her that it's actually church teaching that non Catholics can't receive communion, the Priest also made that annoucement that communion was only for Catholics. If it wasn't in the atmosphere of a funeral I would have liked to have said to her more about Catholic's place a higher sense of vigilance on the state of someone when they receive communion to safe guard their souls, for as St Paul writes that anyone who receives it unworthily brings upon themself condemnation. It was kind of sad because the lady even acknowledged that the eucharist is the body of Christ so my sister asked "Well, have you considered becoming Catholic?" The lady was like, "I don't want to", it's odd how offended they get when they're the ones who reject the church in the first place and expect the church to break teachings to cater for them.
When you don't belive bread becomed body and wine became blood you have no right to take IT, sorry its for your own safty, covenent curses are only real curses, and they Can hurt you
not only that and as for me...before you can receive the Holy Eucharist ...you must be at the state of grace..means that you must be not in the state of sin.....and for catholics you confess all your sin to priest as commanded by Jesus Christ, ( before you can receive the Euchrist.)... if you dont do a proper repentance ...it is an utter disrespect to JEsus Christ if you receive his body nd blood.
💯
It also betrays a tendency to want the advantages of being Catholic, without first undertaking the obligations of being Catholic. Which is totally human - and totally wrong-headed. If one wants the benefits of Catholicism, one must first be Catholic.
@@BasiliscBazindeed, Paul speaks of this in his letters. 1 Corinthians 10, 11, and 13. Those who partake in the most sacred sacrament with ill intent, or understanding the importance yet they disregard it.. they shall be condemned.
ST. JANE DE CHANTAL: “Should you fall even fifty times a day, never on any account should that surprise or worry you. Instead, ever so gently set your heart back in the right direction and practice the opposite virtue, all the time speaking words of love and trust to our Lord after you have committed a thousand faults, as much as if you had committed only one. Once we have humbled ourselves for the faults that God allows us to become aware of in ourselves, we must forget them and go forward.”
Great video much needed
Great video! Thank you!!!
Great vid, Bryan!
Ok, so there is something that many people don't really notice in the "Catholics worship Mary" argument that I think many of us who are former Protestants do, just by nature of having lived as Protestants: many Protestants sincerely do believe that Mary is being worshipped just based off of how Catholics treat Mary. To a Protestant (or at least one like I was: I can't speak for all Protestants), that looks an awful lot like how we would treat God. Treat Mary like you treat God, therefore, Mary is being worshipped. The problem, though, isn't that Mary is elevated too highly on one side: it's that God isn't elevated highly enough on the other, and I never once saw that when I was a Protestant.
Actually, the Catholic Church's treatment of Mary is exactly the way God wants it to be. The Sacred Scripture is filled with God's mysteries, cannot be easily understood by our human mind. God gave the keys of God's kingdom to the Catholic Church. It means God gave the Catholic Church the FULL authority on how to interpret the Word of God, to make laws on church discipline etc. If you trust God, you will also trust His Church because the Bible says Jesus will never allow His Church to go astray because He will always be with His Church until the end of the world.
Protestants think interpreting the Bible or the entire Bible is easy. That is their greatest mistake. So look at the fruits of their personal interpretation of scriptures without the guidance of the Catholic Church. Their fruits are division, fighting, disagreements, pride etc. They simply don't trust God and His Word. The Bible says the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church and He will be with His Church until the end of the world.
Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you could help me with something that always made me scratch my head. When you were a protestant why where you able to equate how Catholics treat Mary as being worship but didn't consider the way all humans treat athletes, and musicians and actors as being worship?
I'm just thinking we put posters of them on our walls, we were clothing with their pictures on them, we collect their albums or movies, we spend thousands on their memorabilia.
Don't get me wrong I'm not claiming this is worship, all I'm pointing to is this is human nature, so why is it so hard for protestants to see that our human Christian nature should have a natural desire to "venerate" the great saints that were the "pro athletes, musicians and actors" of Christianity.
*_The problem, though, isn't that Mary is elevated too highly on one side: it's that God isn't elevated highly enough on the other, and I never once saw that when I was a Protestant._*
This statement is truly eye opening. After 54 years of being a Catholic Christian I have seen a lot of change and the biggest change I have seen is more and more Christians wanting to worship God on their own terms. I think this is what has lead to the "isn't elevated highly enough" that you speak of here.
God Bless
@marietav7342 yes, you're right, of course, but my post didn't say that was not the case: I said to a Protestant it seems likely Mary is overly elevated because of how similar the Catholic elevation of Mary is to the Protestant elevation of God, but the problem isn't because the Catholics elevate Mary highly, but because many Protestants don't elevate God highly enough.
@@Matt-1926 I'm not the best one to ask about that: I did view veneration to Mary and the saints as a form of lesser idolatry, but I also viewed the "worship" (I'll use worship the same way you did) of sports icons the same way. I'm not sure how others viewed it, though.

I was just told by a Protestant online that, “[us Catholics] are missing the main ingredient. LOVE,” and that, “‘Saved by the grace of God through faith alone’, which is LOVE.”
They’re getting desperate to reimagine what “faith” is and isn’t.
Thank you so much for sharing! I would ask where the mention of faith alone is in the Bible and go from there. God bless you!
The Bible doesnt tell how many books should be in the Bible. The Church established by Christ decided in several councils decided the writings that that are really inspired and so should be included in the Bible of 72 books. So the Church which can decide is the authority not the Bible which is document a testament.
73. :)
Another great video as always. I wonder if you can do a video about the difference between deliverance and exorcism. As always, thank you for making the Catholic faith strong.
Deliverance is the Protestant equivalent of a minor exorcism in Catholicism, which is where a person has a demonic spirit attached to them but isn't possessed. Solemn exorcisms in Catholcisim refers to the liberation of someone who is perfectly possessed, where one or more malignant spirits are inhabiting the body and have overridden the consciousnessperson and pushed it to the side. I've never even heard of Protestant performing a solemn exorcism. They wouldn't know what to do when confronted with an actual possessed person.
Having ran a gammut of protestant before finally repenting of my protestantism in my conversion to the Catholic Church, it has since been my observation that too much of protestantism dwells in a Calvinist hyper-guilt and in order to purify themselves of that guilt they pass that guilt onto someone else, making themselves therefore Puritan. Catholics should be aware that protestants are just the same towards their own as they are towards the Catholic Church, the difference being they institutionalize the Catholic Church (rather than familize) but individualize (rather than familize) themselves, therefore dividing into smaller and smaller groups becoming more and more Puritan.
I’m starting to wonder if the spirit of Protestantism is decadence (no more confession, Eucharist, monasticism, celibacy, penance, etc.) and narcissism (any narcissist can start their own cult or church and abuse people, see King Henry VIII and John Calvin as examples).
Even the word Protestantism is divisive
They are really puritan, they make a lot of false devils

Thats a good point about using words like 'worship' in common language, in modern times these words (like so many others) are used interchangeable in everyday conversation. I could say to my friend 'I love Taylor Swift I worship her' would my Christian friend think I put her in the Place of God? Of course not.

Will you ever make a video on Martin Luther? I'm curious what modern Catholics would have to say about him and what his objections were at the time.
This channel is Anglican. He's translating Luther for himself and uncovering the disgusting truth about ML
ua-cam.com/users/liveOsH2NXV-D74?feature=shared
Just from what little I've read of Luther and what I've heard from people who have studied him and his works, I'd say that he was such a tortured soul. He suffered from multiple psychological and spiritual disorders and for all his surely earnest desire to reform the Church, he really ended up founding his own theological system on his own mental and spiritual debilities. He needs our prayers!
'Breaking in the habit' has done a few videos on Luther - and related subjects.
I don't know about all eastern rite Catholic churches, but in the Maronite Catholic Church, if a single man becomes a priest he can not marry. If an already married man wants to become a priest, he can, but I don't believe he has the same standing as a single priest.
You are correct, and we meant to make that distinction among Eastern Catholic priests. And we may mention it in part 2 since we forgot to say it in part 1.
I think that many Protestants simply can't wrap their minds around what it actually takes to be a true follower of Christ. Jesus established the Catholic Church, and my impression from many non-Catholics is that they think that Jesus just said, "I'm going to make it as simple as possible to find salvation. AND I'm going to accept that whatever anyone does that is in my name will be A-OK with Me and My Dad."
There is a right way and a wrong way. Jesus gave us the right way, in establishing his one, holy, catholic, and Apostolic Church, against which the gates of Hell shall not prevail.
Of course, if one looks at this with a logical mind, and an understanding of humanity, it is clear to see why/how His Church will look different from how it was in the first century. We don't look much like we did when we were babies, or children, or even teens. We change in our appearance, but we're still the same people. We have the same body, with the same head. This is how it is with the Catholic Church. It's the same body (us), and the same head (Jesus).
In all fairness to Protestants, they do have an incomplete bible. They don't have the Traditions passed down by the Apostles and their disiples. Many of their pasters don't even take classes in theology. My friends daughter married a guy who's father got his ministers license online so he could perform the marriage of his son! There is nothing stopping him from setting up shop in his house or some random building. It's no wonder they have so much confusion. They're subject to sermons that teach error against Catholicism or at least it's interjected. Many Protestants are shamed and shunned by family and friends for simply reading Catholic material. I've listened to many pastors whom converted to Catholicism and they DID believe that Augustine was Protestant because in seminary, that's what they were taught. Their Church History classes focused on the Reformation and select passages from Augustine's works.
They seem really angry at Catholics for misconceptions and many are unwilling to hear the truth. I see the same thing happening in our schools and universities. They're angry because deep down there's an incongruity they just can't pinpoint it.
My short (very short) list of Catholic inventions:
1. The Bible
2. The University
3. The Scientific Method
4. Protestantism (Some people think the Devil was behind this)
Most of the "Reformers" were, indeed, Catholic priests... *_failed_* Catholic priests but priests nonetheless.
I saw this list pop up on the Internet decades ago. Turns out the dates cited aren’t complete fabrications. If you dig into them, though, the acts of the Church they try to hang these accusations on are so distorted you can barely attribute them to honest error. So there’s actually a document from 385 settings down rules about the liturgy or one from 534 discussing Mary, or whatever; but they aren’t the source and origin of any of this. Like you said, the rubrics of the mass can be found at least as early as the middle of the second century; and honor directed towards a glorified but merely human Mary can be found just as far back.
Reminds me of a book I found once that had the same theme. There was a picture of an old Roman artifact: a chair with a hole in the seat. It was asserted that this chair was used to check papal candidates’ testicles to prevent a Pope Joan situation. The funny thing is they gave the actual Latin name, which obviously translates to “poop chair.” It was a sort of toilet, not a liturgical device, but the anti catholic author was hoping the reader would be too ignorant, too lazy, and/or too dishonest to argue with him.
Well, there is a document from about 49 or so that sets down some rules about liturgy and baptism and so forth! They're only 350 years off!
There are some things in [Paul’s Letters] hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures” (2 Peter 3:16).
'Works' is one of those things. Protestants keep telling us we are not saved by our works, meaning by our works of charity. We know we are not saved by our works, but by Christ alone, but they keep insisting that we think our works save us. What they don't understand and get wrong is that when Paul talks about 'works' he means the works of the Jewish law, circumcision. etc. Some of the Jews demanded that gentile converts to Christianity must first become Jews. Paul is talking to these people when he says we are saved by Christ alone not by works (of the Jewish Law). By the way, Jesus makes it clear and scripture is clear that we must perform good works.
@@rsmith5244 the Roman Catholic Church teaches that, ultimately, entrance into heaven is based upon a person’s cooperation with grace and their own efforts-people can extinguish the grace imparted at baptism by committing mortal sins, and their entrance into the glories of heaven is based on the merit they supply. The Bible teaches that grace and works are contrary methods of salvation and that we can only be saved when we abandon all attempts at our own righteousness and accept the righteousness of Christ that comes through faith. Luther declared that good works are mortal sins if they are done in an attempt to earn God’s favor.
Romans 4:4-8: “Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
‘Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.’”
Most Catholics would be quick to emphasize that this whole arrangement is one of grace. God did not have to send His Son to die on the cross so that we could have original sin removed, allowing us to perform works of congruous merit. Likewise, they would emphasize that we can never truly earn salvation in that God is never in our debt. We are like the waiter who has given good service but knows he is not legally “owed” a tip-the tip is at the discretion of the customer. (A tip is also called a “gratuity,” from the Latin word gratis, which means “favor” or “free,” implying a lack of obligation.) But God has promised that He will leave big tips any time He gets good service. God “owes” a reward for congruous merit because He has promised to reward it, not because it is owed in any absolute sense.
Given this configuration, it is possible to understand how Catholicism can maintain that we are saved by grace and by the death of Christ. Catholics and evangelicals would both agree that Christ paid for our sins on the cross. However, Catholics affirm (and evangelicals deny) that we can make satisfaction for some of our sins as well. Evangelicals and Catholics also disagree about how we attain the positive righteousness necessary to allow us entrance to heaven. In Catholicism, this positive righteousness comes through works of congruous merit, which are the result of personal exertion and cooperation with grace. If one’s efforts are not enough, the remainder will be taken care of in purgatory. (In Catholic theology, purgatory is a part of heaven. If you make it into purgatory, it is only a matter of time before you are purified, and it will be appropriate for God to let you enjoy the glories of heaven. It may take millions or billions of years, but it will happen.) Therefore, it seems impossible to escape the conclusion that ultimate salvation as taught in Roman Catholicism is based upon a person’s works.
It’s another way that the Catholic Church traps people, gets money from them ext ext

There's only one difference between the Catholic Church and Protestants. The number of popes. The Catholic Church has one pope while the Protestants have 800 million.
Martin Luther was their first pope.
Lol
Martin Luther was a papist priest.
Why do Catholics assume that Protestants hold him up to be some central figure in their theology?
There were bible centred, Rome rejecting Christians long before Luther.
The Celtic church in Ireland was patently non Roman and bible believing.
I have many objections to the Lutheran church, not least because they have retained so many popish errors.
Each protestant is pope, meaning, they interpret scriptures the way they want and whoever opposes their interpretation is wrong because for them, their interpretation is the right one. For each protestant, he is the authority to interpret the Sacred Scripture. So you may be right that the nunmber of popes in the protestant church is equivalent to the number of protestants worldwide. Lol.
If there are 800 million protestants in the world, there are also 800 popes in the protestant church. Lol.
Rad trads and sedes are also popes of their own. They are cousin of protestants.
395 is around the time that the liturgy of john Chrysostom was formulated. not exact, but the liturgy was a continuing development and the eastern liturgies are a separate development path than the western liturgies (masses)
I love my Protestant brothers & sisters but so many are ignorant & interpret the Bible in weird ways. Sometimes trying to justify actions. And if you go on Catholic forums & post about your faith I always seem to encounter one who spouts the most ignorant things (mostly from this list) & trying to say their better. Those Protestants are out to glorify themselves, not Christ our Lord!
We honor the saints and consider them to be roll models.
Protestant misunderstanding by improper observation and by poor explanation of what we as Catholics are doing.
I had a Catholic tell me I was a moron for saying "The Bible doesn't say the saints hear us." They said of course they hear us they pray for us. That's conjecture to think because they pray they hear us. Do you need to hear someone praying, to pray for them? So that isn't my misunderstanding of scripture, its Catholics adding your own thought process.
Sorry that they were rude to you. However, the Bible is clear that the Saints bring our prayers before God (Rev. 5:8) and the angels too (Rev. 8:3-4). It's not against Scripture for people in the body of Christ to intercede for one another.
I find the "not found in the Bible" argument very ironic since the whole core, foundational beliefs of all non-Catholics are not found or even alluded to in Scripture. Like the Bible alone for example. Nowhere does the Bible say to just use the Bible, or to just go by the bible only, or that the Bible is the final authority for a Christian. This is literally absent from Scripture. Ironically.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The typical response to these objections is that I am not reading the Bible plainly, I'm superimposing a Catholic lens.
True, but don't be offended, Protestants tell each other that every day. Ever since the Protestant reformation, rebellion, the supposed reformers accused each other of not reading the scriptures right and being accomplices of the devil. They've done it to each other ever since. It's hard to take them seriously. The only reason they take themselves seriously is because they don't know history haha.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you.
Never trust a protestant with scripture because you will never get told the truth about scripture. This guy is 100% correct.

P.S. @ u protestants: ....👉The first MASS was the LAST SUPPERE described right there in the bible, where Jesus raised the bread to heaven, blessed it and said: "TAKE THIA ALL OF YOU AND EAT IT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEM\N UP FOR YOU" and then raised the cup saying: "THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT" ETC.
👉The body and blood of Jesus is now, and has been in his church that he founded (the catholic church) for 2000 years now ....Jesus has manifested his living prsence by both Eucharistic miracles and heavenly visitations to his people the saints. Ink on paper, (solascriptura) is not the same substance as his body and blood. And protestants did not produce the bible either.
Excellent talk but I have to make a correction regarding the Eastern rite. Priests in that rite are not allowed to marry. However, a married man is allowed to become a priest.
You are right, and we meant to make that distinction. Thank you for pointing it out. And we meant to clarify that distinction in the second video but totally forgot. >_
As an Orthodox Christian I agree with you. We also venerate Saints and Theotokus ( mother of god )

@@bobizzle1605 literally from the entire list that was presented by Protestants so far I find nothing that our churches disagree on. Yeah we don’t have purgatory, we call it something else lol.

@@bobizzle1605why do Catholics always say that, the reunion thing? Most EOs hate Catholics.
So you say that a created mortal can give birth to THE God. (Theotokis = God barer)
You (both - the RCC and Othodox's) have stripped Jesus from ALL of His Divinity and gave it to Mary and your pantheon of dead "saints". (humans CAN'T sanctify anyone, only God can)
Jesus says: I AM THE DOOR, I AM THE WAY - NOBODY comes to the Father except through ME, I AM THE ONLY MEDIATOR between God and man, and you say NOPE, we are going with Mary and saints.
Besides that, praying to dead humans is necromancy.
Pretty soon, "bible believers" will reject even Christ in favor of the bible - which makes it an idol.
They're are already doing it for a while.. just have a look at the eucharist, the purgatory, the penance, the priesthood etc... they don't have a doctrine but just oppose the teaching of Jesus, his church and the gospel. it's the devil job and they'aren't even aware of that.
A french father missionary in cameroon Fr. Herveé-Marie Hignard crafted the word "bibliolatry" to better paint this situation.
Totally agree. They already have rejected Christ. “If they listen to you they listen to me. If they reject you they reject me and he who sent me.” Why can’t bible only believers take grasp of this simple verse? They idolize the book but can’t seam to read it.
I think a good argument can be made that King James Version Onlyists (KJVOs) do exactly this. They make, not just the Bible, but The King James 1611, into an idol.

Eusebius wrote of John being so old that he had to be carried to mass on Sunday by two of his trusted companions. That’s the first century. Prots teach what they like (and many do it well in a manner of speaking) and simply ignore or glaze over what they find unsuitable to the message they are pushing. It’s infuriating.
This is very true! Also Saints Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch were both students of John, and wrote powerful epistles for the Church, and martyred for the faith as well.

Try actually reading the first two commandments and the Bible. I am betting you haven't.
One of the objections my parents have against Catholicism is the concept of penance. They believe it involves self-punishment.
Probably thanks to Protestant propaganda and Hollywood
Ask them if prayer is punishment. Ask them if acts of Christian charity are punishment. But, honor them you must!
@HAL9000-su1mz They assume penance means physical self-punishment. It's very difficult to explain that that isn't that is not common
@@josh39684 That is "mortification" and an excellent example of that is Blessed Matt Talbot, the patron of alcoholism. He would have quickly died had he not disciplined his body.
A thought: You might buy a copy of "Catholicism for Dummies" for your parents to read. It is simple, direct, accurate and easily understood.
@@josh39684 what they are confusing penance for self mortification which was extremely popular during the Middle Ages.
Also they are thinking of self flagellation that was imposed as a penance for disobedient clergy and laity in the 13th century.
Perhaps research on the topic of self mortification and what it entails in todays world and in previous centuries, self flagellation and what it entailed in previous centuries and penance so you can be armed in educating your parents about the distinctions and differences.
I know from countless other comments of yours in other videos/channels you have already done an amazing job of researching and even managing to educate your mum about things so I have no doubt God will guide you well on this topic also
Thank you for doing this video. You are truly doing the Lord's work and it shows. The enemy's trippin' lol
The adoption of the Mass is the funniest one on this list for me. What do they believe the book of Leviticus is discussing? What’s the point of saying your authority (for prots) only comes from the Bible if Protestants don’t even take the time to understand it?
This is the reason why you should not take Protestant seriously. I stopped taking them seriously a long time ago after I converted to Catholicism
I am glad to hear you converted, welcome home! Thank you so much for tuning in, God bless you!
Remember the time the patriarchate of Rome called an ecuminacal council then "forgot" to invite the other patriarchates? Anyone rember the time the catholic cardinals excommunicated dead pope and then the living pope without ensuring apostolic sucession so all the cardinals just "reaffirmed" themselves without a pope?
I think all these is directed towards the jist that our church was only started in the time of Emperor Constantine that is after 300AD.

In not saying I don’t believe you, cause I do trust your integrity, but you could provide the citation for that quote from Augustine you provided in the section defending purgatory? Much appreciated thx
ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO
There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, in which the names of the martyrs are
read aloud in that place at the altar of God where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is
offered for other dead who are remembered. It is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we
ought ourselves be commended [Sermons 159:1 (c. A.D. 411)].
[T]emporary punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by others after death, by others
both now and then; but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But of those who
suffer temporary punishments after death, all are not doomed to those everlasting pains that are
to follow that judgment; for to some, as we have already said, what is not remitted in this world
is remitted in the next, that is, they are not punished with the eternal punishment of the world to
come [City of God 21:13 (c. A.D. 419)].
It is a matter that may be inquired into, and either ascertained or left doubtful, whether some
believers shall pass through a kind of purgatorial fire, and in proportion to whether they loved
with more or less devotion the goods that perish, be less or more quickly delivered from it. This
cannot, however, be the case for those of whom it is said that they shall not inherit the kingdom
of God, unless after suitable repentance their sins be forgiven them [Handbook on Faith, Hope, and
Charity 69 (A.D. 421)].
During the time, moreover, that intervenes between a man's death and the final resurrection, the
soul dwells in a hidden retreat, where it enjoys rest or suffers affliction in proportion to the merit
it earned by the life it led on earth. Nor can it be denied that the souls of the dead are benefited by
the piety of their living friends, who offer the sacrifice of the Mediator, or give alms in the church
on their behalf. But these services are of advantage only to those who during their lives have earned
such merit that services of this kind can help them. For there is a manner of life that is neither so
good as not to require these services after death, nor so bad that such services are of no avail after
death [ibid., 109-10].
Augustine
“There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, when the names of the martyrs are read aloud in that place at the altar of God, where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is offered for other dead who are remembered. It is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we ought ourselves be commended” (Sermons 159:1 [A.D. 411]).
“But by the prayers of the holy Church, and by the salvific sacrifice, and by the alms which are given for their spirits, there is no doubt that the dead are aided, that the Lord might deal more mercifully with them than their sins would deserve. The whole Church observes this practice which was handed down by the Fathers: that it prays for those who have died in the communion of the Body and Blood of Christ, when they are commemorated in their own place in the sacrifice itself; and the sacrifice is offered also in memory of them, on their behalf. If, then, works of mercy are celebrated for the sake of those who are being remembered, who would hesitate to recommend them, on whose behalf prayers to God are not offered in vain? It is not at all to be doubted that such prayers are of profit to the dead; but for such of them as lived before their death in a way that makes it possible for these things to be useful to them after death” (ibid., 172:2).
“Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment” (The City of God 21:13 [A.D. 419]).
“That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire” (Handbook on Faith, Hope, and Charity 18:69 [A.D. 421]).
“The time which interposes between the death of a man and the final resurrection holds souls in hidden retreats, accordingly as each is deserving of rest or of hardship, in view of what it merited when it was living in the flesh. Nor can it be denied that the souls of the dead find relief through the piety of their friends and relatives who are still alive, when the Sacrifice of the Mediator [Mass] is offered for them, or when alms are given in the Church. But these things are of profit to those who, when they were alive, merited that they might afterward be able to be helped by these things. There is a certain manner of living, neither so good that there is no need of these helps after death, nor yet so wicked that these helps are of no avail after death” (ibid., 29:109).
Sorry, we usually cite our sources. I believe it comes from his sermons, 159:1, 172:2.
I think the very last part of the quote might come from his book, the City of God. 21:13.
He has other quotes other places as well. Hope this helps.
How early was the earliest marian prayer?
Beneath Thy Protection (Ancient Greek: Ὑπὸ τὴν σὴν εὐσπλαγχνίαν; Latin: Sub Tuum Præsidium) is an ancient Christian hymn and prayer. It is one of the oldest known Marian prayers and among the most ancient preserved hymns to the Blessed Virgin Mary that is still in use. Papyrus 470, containing a substantial portion of the prayer, was dated initially to the 3rd or 4th century.
@@catholictruthreplies is it the oldest?
@@shanebell2514 To my knowledge yes.
❤❤❤❤❤
As a convert, some Marian prayers still make me apprehensive about how they appear to be adoration. Case in point? Several catholic prayers start or end with the invocation, "Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation." What do Catholics mean by that? I am a Catholic, and I don't get it.
I don't consider there to be other options for Church, "where else would I go?" However, it is really troubling when people seem to take their Marian devotions a bit too far, even if Mary does pass that devotion on to Jesus.
Thank you for the question. This is Bryan. I too have some problems with certain prayers and don't feel comfortable saying all the prayers that people make up. There's a difference between Church made prayers and people made prayers. Some are too fluffy and flowery for my personal taste even if they do remain in the realm of orthodoxy.
Generally, when you hear an invocation like this, it refers to having Mary _pray for us and for our salvation,_ not that she is our salvation because obviously that would be heresy.
Obviously there is no need or necessity to pray all of these prayers or any prayer that makes you feel uncomfortable.
One thing about Catholic devotions is that they can be, and generally are, extremely deep. I can certainly understand your apprehension, especially since you're someone coming out of Protestantism. On the surface this sure likes like Mary worship! How can she be our saviour? Do Catholics think she can actually save us? Is she their Goddess or something?
But when we dive into the world of Mariology, it becomes clear that these sorts of accusations don't have any foundation except for the surface appearance.
Let's consider who Mary is. I think a lot of Christians think that she was just some girl. Yeah, she was the mother of Jesus, but that's about it. But how is she introduced to us? Literally the angel comes from God saying: Greetings, Woman Who Has Already Been Fully Engraced. (Chaire kecharitoumene / ave plena gratia). That is probably one of the biggest and deepest Greek words in all of scripture. God has just declared to Mary that she has already been given all the grace. We get our grace from God through sacraments. Mary got hers directly, fully and before she even realised it!
Second, we should understand that the greeting --- hail, chaire, ave --- are formal greetings. Like "Hail Caesar!" They usually involve a title, like "Hail, King of the Jews!" So, what does this mean? What we see here is God changing Mary's name. We see this in the Old Testament where God changed Abram to Abraham. We see it in the New Testament where God changed Simon to Peter or Saul to Paul. But the first time we see it in the New Testament is when God changes Mary to Already Engraced.
Third, we see Mary living a life of theosis, of divinisation. Theosis is the ultimate purpose of human life: the process of becoming like God, to become united with God. It is the cooperation between human activity and God's work. Consider the wedding feast at Cana. If Mary were just an ordinary woman, she would have backed off when Jesus said it was not yet his hour. After all, Jesus knows better! But Mary is no ordinary woman! She has all of God's grace and her actions accord with divine Will: the Incarnation is part of that Will, in order to save the human race; and she acts, placing her own will in accord with God's, by joyfully proclaiming that this is the hour when the real work of salvation begins in history. In return for her proclamation, Jesus, the Son, Yahweh on Earth, complies with the will of the Father, Yahweh in Heaven, and begins the work of salvation by the Eucharistic sign of water and wine.
Fourth, we read in scripture that Mary kept all these things in her heart. Ah! Her heart? And what is Mary's heart? On one level, of course, she is a human mother --- our mother. She loves us and feels compassion for us, just as yet more perfectly than, our own mothers do. She is also the Mother of Jesus. She is the Mother of God. Just as each of us are, in some sense, our own mothers' hearts, so too Jesus is Mary's heart! She is the Ark of the New Covenant, the Tabernacle of the Eucharistic Lord. Saints have called her the Gate to Paradise and the House of God. Many saints have said that no one can enter heaven but through Mary. Does this mean that Mary is our saviour? No, it doesn't! What it does mean is that the Gates of Paradise were closed through sin, through the free will and action of the first Eve who turned her heart away from God. And now, the Gates of Paradise are reopened, through the free will and action of the New Eve who turned her heart and will towards God fully. It means that our Saviour entered the world through Mary's heart; his words and deeds were kept by Mary in her heart; and it is through that same heart that we follow Jesus back into Paradise.
Thus, Mary is not our saviour, but she is the instrument through which we are saved. She is the instrument through whom sin was confronted and overturned, the instrument through whom God entered the world to effect salvation, the instrument by which we enter into Paradise with him. Of all humans in history, Mary is the greatest! She is what we were all meant to be, full of grace, unblemished by sin. She, through her own agency, accepted God's desire and plan for her and so, flowing from her new name, Kechairetoumene, she is now become all of these other things as well. And for all of that, she is still a simple human being! We call her "Ark of the New Covenant" --- yet Christ IS the New Covenant! We call her "Tabernacle of the Eucharistic Lord" --- yet Christ IS the Eucharistic Lord! No matter how many titles Mary has, she is but a pale light in comparison to the radiance of God!
@@padraicbrown6718 What I know in my head is not really in my heart. I love the Rosary, the Memorare, other such prayers. I think I have to keep separate Mary from Jesus in my mind when they really are inseparable. Getting over my apprehensions by praying these prayers which are published by the church are part of my ongoing formation. I appreciate your words about this though. It is a welcome reminder.
*_Several catholic prayers start or end with the invocation, "Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation." What do Catholics mean by that?_*
Basically we need to understand these prayers in the context in which they were written. Quite often they were written as a form of love poetry. If you wrote your wife a poem and said you are my life, my sweetness and my hope, no one would bat an eye or claim you are giving adoration to your wife that only belongs to God.
*_I don't consider there to be other options for Church, "where else would I go?" However, it is really troubling when people seem to take their Marian devotions a bit too far, even if Mary does pass that devotion on to Jesus._*
I'm not saying there has never been anyone who takes it too far, however in my experience, with my mom for instance, she loved the blessed Mother and as an outsider looking in you would probably think she took it too far. However, the last month before she died I sat by her bed and heard here say 2 rosaries every day. She was pretty weak so that took up about an hour of her day. She didn't sleep much from the pain so in between the 2 rosaries I would hear her praying directly to Jesus for hours on end. We aren't talking babbling here we are talking about old old prayers that were written to Christ just like the ones written to Mary. These prayers went on for hours and she repeated a lot of them throughout the day and night. The only thing that made sense was she must have said these daily for years to have all of them memorized.
The point I am making with this is don't be too quick to jump to a conclusion. I did some checking and spent some time getting to know some of these "Rosary warriors" from Church. The thing I noticed a lot of them had in common was they were also the ones who attended daily mass, they were the ones that stayed after mass to sit in front of the tabernacle. They were the ones who read there bibles daily.
All I can say is if the Blessed Mother brings them that close to Jesus then that's gotta be the best kept secret out there.
Hope this helps,
God Bless
It depends on the context. "Be our salvation" could be interpreted as delivering us from material hardships or physical ailments that afflict us and even from sin in the sense that she can intercede for us and obtain Actual Graces (transient impulses that enlighten the intellect and strengthen the will) from Christ on our behalf that empower us to resist temptation and prevent us from falling into sin. That's one way she could be our salvation, but she can't save us in the sense that Christ saves, that is, meriting the sanctifying grace that blots out original and actual sin, regenerates, justifies and heals us, bridges the gap between God and man and restores what Adam and Eve lost for themselves and their descendants. She can't save us in that way, but she can in the other ways.
"Unless you humble yourselves and be like these little children you shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven". Jesus. What more need I know!! Love as a message should be simple. So all can understand
Eternal salvation isn't just about being simple.
More us vs. them among corrupt institutions
More comments of empty claims without facts.
The 'Inventions' are from Lorraine Boettner's book "Roman Catholicism". Also called the Anti-Catholic's Handbook. My favorite was (I forget the exact dates) that the Catholic Church put the Bible on the Index of Forbidden Books at the Council of Valencia in....forget the date. The problem here was 1) there was no Council of Valencia, at the date given, Valencia was a Moorish/Muslim city. No way there was a Council of the Church there. 2) The Index of Forbidden Books was made almost a century later. But, at the date given, a Synod of French Bishops that hoped to end the proliferation of heretical 'bibles' that were making the rounds. I think it was the Cathars, who had rewritten the Bible to make it say what they wanted it to say. For example, in any Christian Bible, John 1 says "And the Word was with God and the Word was God." But in the JW bible it reads, "And the Word was with God, and the Word was A god." Implying Jesus was either another God or a demi-god.
Truth can't be debunked.
21 min, technically, 24 churches, 23 of them eastern, 7 major rites (liturgical families) with several subsets. Ex Latin church has the Roman Rite but also the Mozarabic Rite.
Ukranian, Melkite, and Ruthenian are seperate churches but have the same rite but three uses of that rite.
21:29 another correction, it is 23 eastern churches but 22 of them allow married men to become priests, not for priests to be married. (the Maronites are even more strict on clerical celibacy than the latin church.)

A priest and or pastor can not properly give all his time to God and his flak while raising a families.
And he just brought up the divorce rate among prodistent pastors.
Hello! Thanks for tuning in. Not necessarily; Eastern Catholic priests are able to be married prior to receiving holy orders, and they are able to make it work. Naturally, due to the nature of the Eucharist they are only able to provide it once a week, as they must abstain the day before. They would not be able to do daily Divine Liturgies without inducing hardship on their marriages.
Thanks again for watching, God bless you!
What do you think about John MacArthur's pieces on this subject?
It has almost turned me from the Catholic Church . Would love to hear your opinion and clarification on this because I'm a very strong Christian., and was raised Catholic now born again
@andrewcrossman2165: You were born again as a Catholic (John 3:5).
John MacArthur is a liar, a false teacher. Not much else to say! As I understand it, he's a very strong Calvinist (the whole TULIP) and the Calvinist nature of God is much more akin to the Allah of Islam than to the Father of Christ. (I learned that from James White.) I listened to some of his anti-Catholic diatribes and they really sound like he's just reading down a list like the one in this video! Catholics worship Mary, blah blah.
You might also want to listen to David Anders (Called to Communion) and Pints With Aquinas and Trent Horn to get some other Catholic perspectives on Protestantism.
He already made videos before talking about John MacArthur.
He’s very low bro and is a proven liar when it comes to Catholics. Study your faith read the CCOC. Read good books like Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist by Dr. Brant Pitre.
MacArthur is only good at getting the low hanging fruit of Catholics who do not know their faith. It makes someone susceptible to someone like MacArthur
The only time in the Bible you’re born again is when you are baptized. Something John MacArthur denies but it’s right in the Bible. So if you believe the Bible and Are Born Again you’d come back to the Catholic Church.
I think he said a video, on John MacArthur, was coming out this Sunday.
The belief in the rapture wasn't started in the 1600's it began in 1830 and became popular by the 1850's.
It was taught by a few individuals before that I believe.
Dear Bryan;
Catholic priest cannot get married. Coptic and Orthodox priest also cannot get married.
But those churches and Eastern Rites allow Married men into the priesthood.
After Holy Orders the priest can no longer get married, but in specific circumstances he can be married before receiving Holy Orders.
We have it as Norm to Ordain single men and/ or Widowers.

They can not get married. However. If they come from another religion and ARE married, it is allowed. I could be wrong but that is what many priests have told me.

That's correct! The mass is amazing!
at 10:25 he is mocking the claim that the Church worships Mary. But, Mary is the Saint most honored in the Church calendar. I've heard that there are 57 Marian feast days (but i don't have a citation to back that up). There's a few statues of Mary in the front yards around my town. There are many churches "dedicated" to Mary. In Elmhurst Illinois there are 3 Catholic parishes - Mary Queen of Heaven, Immaculate Conception, and Assumption parish. Even as Catholics, we have our noses rubbed in Mary all the time. There are days of obligation in "honor" of Mary. How much closer to worship of Mary can you get? She's just an "ant" ?? I think the Marian devotions in big part is a way of sanitizing the foul character of the Church in recent decades, a way of distracting a lot of people. I think it's a manifestation of modern feminism.
Some years back, by a coincidence, I heard a general intercession at the Mary Queen of the Universe parish Mass near Orlando Florida as follows: " for more devotion to Mary, Let us pray to the Lord." The coincidence is that I heard the same intercession on the morning Mass on EWTN. The Same Thing. What? Asking God for more devotion to Mary? Oh, please, explain that to me, somebody.
Just because Mary is most honored on the Saints calendar doesn't mean we worship her. That's a pretty ridiculous leap. Just because we celebrate Mary and the saints, doesn't mean we worship them. Mary was a perfect disciple and follower of god, so we hold her up as an ideal role model and follow her example. That's far from worship.
the rapture goes back to the 1600s? i thought the idea did not predate 1810?
It was like 1 person who spread it to someone else. Didn't catch on. Caught on a little more in the 1700s in especially the 1800s.
If someone is anti Catholic or even anti orthodox since they were one in the beginning just say you're an anti Christian because when youre anti Catholic (i will put and Orthodoxy under the Catholic church as bundle since they were one) youre also an anti apostolic church because the first chirch leader is saint Peter the apostle of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
It's BIGOTRY !
100% many times.
The friars and monks can't not marry. And if they where divorced prior to joining the friars, the have to get it annulled.
Annulment is only possible if the marriage was not valid in the first place though.
@alhilford2345 id have to ask my priest but he had to get one before joining the friars.
👍🙂👍
Do you want to be wise and holy? If you say yes, then, listen, follow and obey the Church/Pope or the official teachings of the Pope because THE WISDOM OF GOD IS IN THE CHURCH (Eph 3:10) and the Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Tim 3:15). If we don't listen to and obey the Church/Pope, we don't listen to and obey Jesus/God the Father. (Luke 10:16) Also don't disrespect the church leaders even if they are personally bad. Renounce your own will completely and seek and do only God's will for you.
Reading the Bible will not make you surely and authomatically wise and holy. Rather, reading the Word of God may also make you even more sinful and more deceived and more dumb. Reading the Bible will only make you wise and holy if you will not interpret it against the catholic teachings but always in line with catholic faith.
He who remains obedient to the Church or the teachings of the Church/Pope will continue to grow in wisdom, strength and virtues or holiness.
Amen God bless you ❤✝️🤍
@@tasiaflynn3549 God bless you too. 🙏
I was reading Exodus the other day. Exodus 4. it’s alarmingly silly, the arguments that the office of Pope is bizarre and unbiblical. God literally tells Moses he will be as God to the people. He’s in place of God. It’s as though Moses is the Pope.
I’m not even Catholic. But people try to act like Catholics just made this stuff up. God made it up. It was his idea in the first place.
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad someone can think about these things rationally.
Is Mary sinless?
Did Mary have other children?
Did Mary get swept up to Heaven and not die?
Yes, no, yes.
Catholic Churce is a UNIVERSAL CHURCE.🙏
Amen!
I don't mean to come off as confrontational, but do you think half the problem might be that Catholics have their own special definitions for everything? I've found that when Catholic and Protestant can sit down and discuss theology in the vernacular, without any clever or pretentious terminology, there is far less of a gulf than most would assume.
Hope this doesn't come off as confrontational either but I would only partially agree with you on this.
I would point out that the vernacular isn't always beneficial. Take for instance the word pray. That word has always simply meant "to ask". Yet the vernacular of the modern day evangelical defines it to mean worship. So not seeing how the modern day vernacular understanding of the word helps in trying to define a 2000 year old term.
I would think a better way of saying it is if both people are willing to accept the vernacular understanding of the terminology.
In this example the Catholic states the pretentious term "pray" means to ask and the protestant is willing to say OK I understand what you are saying by that terminology.
Same would go with the word Purgatory, sure sounds pretentious but at the end of the day all it means is a final purification. Hard to believe anyone thinks their perfect enough at this very moment to stand in God's presence.
@@Matt-1926 You hit on my point exactly. Catholics and Protestants are working from two different lexicons, which is why we can't seem to find common ground. I blame a lot of it on the Latin. The Latin phraseology used by the Catholic church sounds impressive, but the translation of these phrases often gives pause to the uninitiated.
Take the phrase "Alter Christus." The literal translation is "another Christ." 2 Corinthians 11 warns against those who would preach "another Jesus." The meaning of the doctrine aside, is it difficult to see how that turn of phrase might raise a few eyebrows? After having lengthy theological discussions with Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox, I'm firmly convinced that the majority of our dissent arises more from poor communication than from poor doctrine. It isn't that we misunderstand Christianity. It's that we misunderstand each other's attempts to explain it.
Nobody uses Altar christus. I've been doing apologetics and evangelization for three decades. And I've never used to that, and I don't know anyone else who ever has either.
While I agree that we sometimes use different lexicons, you have to admit that the Protestants were the ones who changed it, and in fact they don't even agree with each other on what words mean even the words faith and justification.
I think it's good to have accurate definitions of things. I think the wishy-washy Protestant "just believe in Jesus" theology as watered everything down to a problematic point.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I tried to respond to this with sources, but it seems any time I try to provide links, my comment is removed.
The phrase, "Sacerdos alter Christus" has been used directly by at least three popes, Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI. It was also mentioned by Pius XII when quoting St. John Eudes. It can also be found verbatim in the second Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1866, and it has been attributed to Cyprian and Augustine, but the earliest concrete evidence of the term being used in writing is in Manuale Praelatorum Regularium in 1612.
The term is generally seen to be synonymous with "In persona Christi" which is found in the Catechism of the Council of Trent. It refers to the duty and authority of the ordained priest.
I'm really not trying to be a smartass and pull a gotcha. It's just one example of how phraseology can get in the way of communicating truth. I'm interested in breaking down those barriers and reuniting the church that has been so fractured for centuries.
Catholic means universal. Synonyms for the word Catholic are WIDE and BROAD.
interestingly Jesus had the following to say about the path one would take to salvation..
“13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for WIDE is the gate, and BROAD IS THE WAY, that leadeth TO DESTRUCTION, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. ”
Matthew 7:13-14 KJV
You very dishonestly and selectively forgot to give all of the definitions for the word including the primary definitions: global, worldwide, around the world. of, something done by all people in all cases.
Marrhew 28:18-20 - Jesus said go baptize and make disciples of _all_ nations universally. So, its not being used in the brand sense but in the worldwide sense.
CENSORSHIP WILL GET YOU NO WHERE
Tell that to Facebook and social media platforms.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial well seem how I don't use fake book, no.
I’m sorry, how is the creation of the Inquisition and the Jesuit Order(specifically them I guess and not the many other monastic orders that came before them) “inventions” that the Catholic Church placed upon Christian teaching?
Those are institutions within the Catholic Church created to serve different functions. They’re not part of Catholic Dogma.
It would be like saying the DMV is a “invention” someone tried to add to the constitution rather than just an institution within the US government created to help enforce and maintain laws and regulations.
Actually, most of the inquisitions were not started by the church. And inquisitions are just state-run courts. Courts and judgment are not against the bible. But it was not the Catholic church for example that started the Spanish inquisition. It was the state. They were also secular and even Protestant inquisitions as well.
Just because something starts after the year 1 ad, doesn't mean it's against jesus. After all, the Bible alone was never heard of until after the year 1400 but that doesn't bother protestants. The Rapture was never heard of until 1600s and not popularized until the 1700s. Once saved always saved, never heard of until the 1500s. And so on. But unlike the Inquisition which is not unbiblical or against biblical principles, the man-made Protestant traditions are.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialTo be specific, the Church gave the okay to establish an inquisiton court. If I'm correct the sole surviving one is the Roman Inquisition, established as part of the Counter-Reformation to investigate corruption in the clergy in Rome and survives today as the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Inquisition was a response to Muslim infiltration in the Spanish church. Was the Spanish church (in the context of that era) more brutal than Muslim terrorism in the 20th and 21st centuries?
