    Still remember my Baltimore Catechism from 50 years ago: A sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by God, for the dispensation of His divine grace. Fr. Dominic's description was certainly more complete ... but the Baltimore catechism was pretty darn good.

    The Catholic Church, so often accused of idolatry - just the opposite she gives us plenty of ways to fill our lives with a Jesus centered life.
    It is deeply meaningful and a joy to start off my week with worshipping on my knees and coming in physical communion with my Lord each Mass.

      Agreed, here's the thing Christ gave us the 7 sacraments because we are human beings made up of 5 senses. Why do people reject what God had intended for the human being?

      @@JR-tl8tg Absolutely. We can experience God everywhere they say, in Nature, in our homes, etc, but not in the Sacraments?
      People that say these things have not looked deeply into what the Sacraments mean and why we should order our lives around them instead of worldly “sacraments of secularism”. It is ok to spend $100 for a meal out in the town, to go to the movies for an experience, to go in a family vacation but most Christians do not first put a priority on being in 100% communion with their Lord at the Lord’s table, going to Sunday Mass for a spiritual experience and connection and repentance not any value in secluded retreats to further connect with God.
      Sacraments are just one way the Catholic Church tries to keep us in a Christian culture rather a secular one.

    JMJ+ Respectfully, I question the term, "Ascension Thursday." Where does it say HE Ascended into Heaven on Thursday? It says HE did this, that, and the other after HE first appeared to Mary Magdalene and many others for quite some a few days, and then, HE Ascended, but where is the day, date, and time specifically stated? Thank you. Been listening to these podcast for a long time and appreciate them.

      The Book of Acts tells of Jesus appearing to his followers for forty days after his resurrection, Acts 1:3. The 40th day after Easter Sunday will always be Thursday. I hope this helps, God bless.

    • @tafazzi-on-discord

      Orthodox churches decided to reject God's gift to His Church of a universal magisterium (=teaching aithorithy). It's less grave but substantially identical to what protestants do, they reject part of the gifts God gave His Church, starting from the deuterocanon and spreadi g to more and more sacraments as the denominations keep multiplying.
      It is simply the case that the orthodox churches lack the means to excercise their teaching authorithy today, despite relying on occasions when that happened (see the ecumenicak councils they recognize). I think the privation they impose to their church is not too hard to see.

      The Catholic Church recognizes and follows Jesus' designation of Peter as the rock upon which the Church is built. He gave Peter specifically the Keys of the Kingdom, he is the first Bishop of Rome and first Pope. The Orthodox Church reject Papal authority and so are a communion of Churches without a central authority each ruled by their equivalent of a Bishop decided by national and ethnic boundaries.

    Worshipping God with material, sensate vehicles is the antithesis of faith. Paul wrote faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things that are not revealed to the senses. In this video, we see the intellectual contortions required to justify existing church teachings that are logical contradictions.

      And so is denial of the good of God’s creation. When God created the universe, men and women, etc… He said it was good, and in man/ women’s case very good.
      Also Jesus chose to be incarnate of the Virgin Mary… to take on flesh.
      And Jesus told His disciples to go and baptize all nations… to BAPTIZE. Was Jesus a heretic?
