      And so sad that so few such stories have anything to do with... THE GOSPEL! Or even the Bible for that matter. Instead, it is notions like these, that a non-evidential miracle occurs that is a violation of other commands and would be a sin for the Jew to partake in. This is stuff I find quite puzzling! However, may I ask you what your reasons are for being Catholic and what that means exactly?

      @@jessebryant9233 I don't know, is it? Our Lord said, "unless you eat My body and drink My blood, you have no life in you." Later on, while holding the bread and wine he says, "this is My body... this is My blood." For two millennia, the Church has held (right from the the Apostolic Father's, mind you) that this is meant literally. But *you* have the right interpretation of Holy Writ? How arrogant must you be to not only hold a view of Christianity that flies in the face of the Church Fathers, and, by extension the entire Christian Tradition, but also to denigrate anyone who, instead of holding that narrow-minded view, shows deference to the teachings of those in the line of the Apostles. Now, if you want something that in no way can be construed as conjecture or speculation, I would direct you toward the Eucharistic Miracles. These are instances in which the bread and wine visibly become cardiac muscle tissue and type AB blood. If, after that, you still refuse to heed the the teachings of the Church, then you are willfully blind, and only God himself can make you see.

    Im glad to see this type of video of a catholic who understands the faith. You are correct about looking for a reverent offering of the mass. All the eastern catholic rites can be attended, as all the western rites as well. Just be careful that no one attends a schismatic or heretical church. Any sedevacantist celebration must be avoided; as well as all non-catholic churches.
    Also encourage your followers to recite the athanasian creed to strengthen their faith and remove doubts on the definition of the trinity

    Loved your video and agreed with everything until the explanation of what we’re celebrating in the Mass. Dr.Scott Hahn in his book and UA-cam video The Fourth Cup, explains that when we’re in Mass and the priest is consecrating the bread and wine into Jesus body and blood he is representing Jesus sacrifice there at the Last Supper. Jesus gave him self up to us there and then of his own free will because he loves us! The covenant as all covenants are sealed with sacrificial blood. The cross on Calvary.

    In Jn 6:62 please can someone tell me why Jesus answered the disciples with what if you see him ascend back to heaven if the hard saying and the offence was eating his flesh and drinking his blood?
    Why is his reply not more in keeping with him being the bread that came down from heaven? This seems more of a confirmation to them he came down from heaven because that they would see him ascend back to heaven.
    Also why they left him is recorded in v66 after his reply in v62 so why is his reply not the reason they left him?

    Broooo, everything was going well until you asked for preferences on the types of mass to look for. I am a cradle Catholic, born and raised in a developing country, there aren't many types of Mass, there is only one, and this reality is the same in the majority of countries in the world. Now I live in another developing country and it's the same. The Latin, Byzantine or other variations are things that people have never heard of before.
    The problem for me is twofold: firstly, you are inadvertently pitting mass types against each other, creating a false sense of deprivation in a devout laity. The sensation I get from listening to what you say is that I am not getting the fullness of God because I'm not going to the correct rite, which I know it is a lie.
    And secondly, you are inadvertently undermining the main thing we go to Mass for, which is to worship and share in the Blood, Body and Divinity of our Lord, and no style of rite can take anything away from that reality.
    The emphasis shouldn't be on the on the choosing of the best rite, but in the holy disposition and participation of the individual in the greatest gift God has giving us.
    Apart from that. Fantastic job my brother

      Yes. For all this talk about the Latin mass being the "Mass of the Ages"...really? The first mass was twelve guys around a table, and Our Lord spoke the words of consecration in Aramaic. Then as Christianity took hold, Greek was the language of the liturgy.
      Latin was adopted only when more Romans converted to the faith and the regular folk didn't understand Greek. This was around the second century IIRC

      Hey @umatveg you are correct. One should be going to mass for one reason only, to encounter Christ in the Eucharist, the summit and source of the Christian life. It was wrong for me to pit masses against eachother. I've done alot more prayer and reflection on this and I began to realize I was becoming judgemental of others. I do think reverence is not exclusive to the latin mass, it's also found in novus ordo parishes. Ironically, I converted to catholicism in a novus ordo parish, and I currently attend an ordinariate parish, which is technically a novus ordo mass with some latin in there. I do think that the Holy Spirit moves in ways we may not fully understand, and Novus Ordo exists for a specific reason. I think both rites can exist together.

    Catholic dilemma. If the wine becomes the blood of Christ at its blessing and is no longer wine, then why, in Luke 22: 18, in his gospel, Jesus calls it "the fruit of the vine" (wine) AFTER He blessed it?
    1 Cor 11
    23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you EAT THIS BREAD and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

You must Repent and believe the Gospel. What is the Gospel ? Jesus suffered, died, was buried and rose from the dead 3 days later and is seated at the right hand of the Father. That's it. The eucharist and the wine is not literal interpretation, it's symbolic. Ephesians:2:8-9
    For by grace you have been saved, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of WORKS lest anyone should boast. Catholicism is a works righteousness religion.
