      So which was it, 300 demons/year or 300 exorcisms/ year only 100 of which were real, the others sent for Psychiatric help???
      Or are you saying he completely lied about 300/year over his lifetime and only ACTUALLY witnessed 100 genuine real cases of possession??
      You have contradicted yourself.

  • @TheCottonCandyKat

    As a Catholic, this video was very interesting to see what an outsider believes about our religion. A few things that were not well explained: a Pope is not infallible. Only when speaking "from the chair of Peter" , which I believe has only happened 3 or 4 times in regards to doctrine, is the Pope considered infallible. Also, we believe that the Eucharist is not "symbolic" of the last supper but that it miraculously BECOMES the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ. I know it's a lot of explain, but it's one of the central beliefs of our faith. I'm also so bummed that John Paul the second wasn't discussed in more detail because that man was a legend! Even before he becomes pope, his life was incredible! But overall, thank you for the respectful way you covered this topic!

    So, I have a fun family story about Vatican City. So, back in the late 70s or so, my great grandmother needed breast reduction surgery. However, she refused. That is until my grandmother offered her a trip to see the pope. She ended up getting 6 procedures done, and they went to see the city as many times. Now, my grandmother is not religious, and she has always been a tomboy. While in her overalls, among the crowd waiting to see the holy man, she nudged her mother with an elbow and commented "I bet I can hit him from here with my slingshot". At this, my great grandmother must have tapped into the speed-force, as even when she was a little girl, my grandmother never remembered her moving that fast. Of course, that's the same great grandmother who had a life sized statue of Jesus in her living room that always scared the crap out of me when i went to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    Fun fact: All museums in Rome are closed on mondays. But as the Vatican is a state of it's own and technically not a part of Rome the museum of the Vatican is open on mondays. Which means that on mondays you are likely to find most of the tourists in Rome in the Vatrican, so prepare to wait in some lines on mondays in the Vatican.

    6:16 The current pope is simply Francis. He won’t become Francis I until there’s a Francis II.

    I was lucky enough to visit the Vatican a DAY after the restoration of the Sistine Chapel was finished and reopened to the public. It was magnificent. The central area is MASSIVE in a way that makes skyscrapers seem quaint. I was able to go up to a lookout on the very highest point on top of the massive central dome. It was a stunning view. I have no idea if they still allow people up there but if they do don't miss it. The catacombs and preserved bodies of popes are surreal. There is an entire chapel made out of skulls and is gloriously macabre.

    Maybe do a video on Tristan Da Cunha?

    Your channels have taught me so much about history. There's some other stuff I want to know about that I haven't seen any good videos on from any of the history channels I watch on UA-cam. Geographics seems like a good place for it. Could you do a video on Baghdad during the Arab Empire (634-880), Babylon, and Persia? A Biographics of Nebuchadnezzar would be neat too.

    I have been to Rome and the Vatican. Even though I am not Catholic I do feel like I was privileged to be at the Easter blessing in 1996 the Pope John Paul II performed. I love the creativity showcased at the Vatican.
