God bless you After reading the fathers of the church and other first and second century writings. I know that the Catholic Church is the church that Jesus founded. Reading through the Bible it’s easy to identify now all the components of the Catholic Church, even Saint Paul, calling himself a father in Christ Jesus, though the church makes mistakes I still want to be in Jesus‘s church, and I will continue to pray for his church…. he just sent us a beautiful sign in the incorrupt body of a very holy nun ….such a beautiful story of her life. If you talk to Jesus in the tabernacle where his heart lies your faith will just take off. He wants to be loved every day, every minute. Enjoy your journey with Christ, our Lord and Savior.

The first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which was the true Church and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ. The test was simple: Just trace the apostolic succession of the claimants. Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops are part of a lineage that goes back to the time of the apostles. The role of apostolic succession in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. To make sure that the apostles’ teachings would be passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy, “What you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2). In this passage he refers to the first three generations of apostolic succession-his own generation, Timothy’s generation, and the generation Timothy will teach. “Through countryside and city [the apostles] preached, and they appointed their earliest converts, testing them by the Spirit, to be the bishops and deacons of future believers. Nor was this a novelty, for bishops and deacons had been written about a long time earlier. . . . Our apostles knew through our Lord Jesus Christ that there would be strife for the office of bishop. For this reason, therefore, having received perfect foreknowledge, they appointed those who have already been mentioned and afterwards added the further provision that, if they should die, other approved men should succeed to their ministry”- Pope Clement I (Letter to the Corinthians 42:4-5, 44:1-3 [A.D. 80] “When I had come to Rome, I [visited] Anicetus, whose deacon was Eleutherus. And after Anicetus [died], Soter succeeded, and after him Eleutherus. In each succession and in each city there is a continuance of that which is proclaimed by the law, the prophets, and the Lord”- St. Hegesippus (Memoirs, cited in Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 4:22 [A.D. 180] “But since it would be too long to enumerate in such a volume as this the successions of all the churches, we shall confound all those who, in whatever manner, whether through self-satisfaction or vainglory, or through blindness and wicked opinion, assemble other than where it is proper, by pointing out here the successions of the bishops of the greatest and most ancient church known to all, founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul-that church which has the tradition and the faith with which comes down to us after having been announced to men by the apostles. For with this Church, because of its superior origin, all churches must agree, that is, all the faithful in the whole world. And it is in her that the faithful everywhere have maintained the apostolic tradition”- St. Irenaeus (Against Heresies 3:3:2 [A.D. 189] “But if there be any [heresies] which are bold enough to plant [their origin] in the midst of the apostolic age, that they may thereby seem to have been handed down by the apostles, because they existed in the time of the apostles, we can say: Let them produce the original records of their churches; let them unfold the roll of their bishops, running down in due succession from the beginning in such a manner that [their first] bishop shall be able to show for his ordainer and predecessor some one of the apostles or of apostolic men-a man, moreover, who continued steadfast with the apostles. For this is the manner in which the apostolic churches transmit their registers: as the church of Smyrna, which records that Polycarp was placed therein by John; as also the church of Rome, which makes Clement to have been ordained in like manner by Peter” - Tertullian (Demurrer Against the Heretics 32 [A.D. 200] “The Church is one, and as she is one, cannot be both within and without. For if she is with [the heretic] Novatian, she was not with [Pope] Cornelius. But if she was with Cornelius, who succeeded the bishop [of Rome], Fabian, by lawful ordination, and whom, beside the honor of the priesthood the Lord glorified also with martyrdom, Novatian is not in the Church; nor can he be reckoned as a bishop, who, succeeding to no one, and despising the evangelical and apostolic tradition, sprang from himself. For he who has not been ordained in the Church can neither have nor hold to the Church in any way” - St. Cyprian (Letters 69[75]:3 [A.D. 253] “There are many other things which most properly can keep me in [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here”- St. Augustine (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]

I find it difficult to agree with the unbroken line of succession. First Paul was succeeded by Peter and then a break until 312 ad when Emporer Constatine held the Council of Nicea, are you suggesting that Peter lived beyond 312 Ad, I think not. Then there is the issue of who attended and defined who was who in the zoo. What about the Eastern Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox. I was raised Catholic, baptised, confirmation, first communion, Catholic School, but all I see is attempts to force people to comply with a man made organisation, no different to all the other denominations. Rather than relying on being coerced into following what they are trying to enforce, much better to learn the actual history, suddenly the issue is nowhere near as clear as the Catholic Church would have us believe. I haven't even touched on the issue of the books included or excluded in the Holy Bible.

Early Christian writings Peter’s Successors IRENAEUS “The blessed apostles [Peter and Paul], having founded and built up the church [of Rome] . . . handed over the office of the episcopate to Linus” (Against Heresies 3:3:3 [A.D. 189]). TERTULLIAN “[T]his is the way in which the apostolic churches transmit their lists: like the church of the Smyrneans, which records that Polycarp was placed there by John, like the church of the Romans, where Clement was ordained by Peter” (Demurrer Against the Heretics 32:2 [A.D. 200]). THE LITTLE LABYRINTH “Victor . . . was the thirteenth bishop of Rome from Peter” (The Little Labyrinth [A.D. 211], in Eusebius, Church History 5:28:3). CYPRIAN OF CARTHAGE “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. … ’ [Matt. 16:18]. On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. . . . If someone [today] does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition [A.D. 251]). “Cornelius was made bishop by the decision of God and of his Christ, by the testimony of almost all the clergy, by the applause of the people then present, by the college of venerable priests and good men, at a time when no one had been made [bishop] before him-when the place of [Pope] Fabian, which is the place of Peter, the dignity of the sacerdotal chair, was vacant. Since it has been occupied both at the will of God and with the ratified consent of all of us, whoever now wishes to become bishop must do so outside. For he cannot have ecclesiastical rank who does not hold to the unity of the Church” (Letters 55:[52]):8 [A.D. 253]). “With a false bishop appointed for themselves by heretics, they dare even to set sail and carry letters from schismatics and b.asphemers to the chair of Peter and to the principal church [at Rome], in which sacerdotal unity has its source” (ibid., 59:14). EUSEBIUS OF CAESAREA “Paul testifies that Crescens was sent to Gaul [2 Tim. 4:10], but Linus, whom he mentions in the Second Epistle to Timothy [2 Tim. 4:21] as his companion at Rome, was Peter’s successor in the episcopate of the church there, as has already been shown. Clement also, who was appointed third bishop of the church at Rome, was, as Paul testifies, his co-laborer and fellow-soldier [Phil. 4:3]” (Church History 3:4:9-10 [A.D. 312]). POPE JULIUS I “[The] judgment [against Athanasius] ought to have been made, not as it was, but according to the ecclesiastical canon. . . . Are you ignorant that the custom has been to write first to us and then for a just decision to be passed from this place [Rome]? If, then, any such suspicion rested upon the bishop there [Athanasius of Alexandria], notice of it ought to have been written to the church here. But now, after having done as they pleased, they want to obtain our concurrence, although we never condemned him. Not thus are the constitutions of Paul, not thus the traditions of the Fathers. This is another form of procedure, and a novel practice. . . . What I write about this is for the common good. For what we have heard from the blessed apostle Peter, these things I signify to you” (Letter on Behalf of Athanasius [A.D. 341], contained in Athanasius, Apology Against the Arians 20-35).

As a protestant I love watching your videos. Catholicism always felt weird to me. I guess my feeling was always that the catholic church was lost in tradition to a point were scripture became secondary. Your videos really help me see how this perspective is not true and what importance the tradition itself holds. Personally I love the simplicity of protestantism. Here is the scripture, here is a church building. Just sitting in a big empty room with nothing but an altar, a cross and the word of God. However orthodox churches and catholic churches emit an ancient, golden (litterally, lol) warmth which I guess is kind of symbolic for them. I guess as a Protestant we sometimes forget the importance of tradition

Scripture isnt secundary for the Catholic Church, but Christ has given to the our church authority to decide beyond the scriptures. Why ? Because our church exists before the Bible, many books of the Bible are letters from Paul and other apostles to many of our churches around the old world. It makes sense for Protestants to believe in Sola Scripture since all denominations were founded more than 1 thousand years after the Bible was composed. But it was the Catholic Church who collected all the gospels and other holy books written by the disciples of Christ to form the Bible, and so it wouldn’t make sense to say that the Catholic Church’s authority comes from the Bible, it comes from before it, it comes from the Apostles.

@vivalibertasergovivitel... You are ignoring our Lord's clear teaching. Nowhere in Scripture is there a teaching from Him or His Apostles called: "Sola Scriptura" or "Bible alone"; such doctrine was invented by the man called Luther in 1520. On the other hand Jesus, who is God, says: ▪︎MATTHEW 16:15-19 15. Jesus said to them: But whom do you say that I am? 16. Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. 17. And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 18. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. MY CHURCH = JUST ONE! For such important assignment, our Lord provides a permanent guarantee to His Shepherd, which will be carried forward throughout the centuries for the constant benefit of His one Church until the end of times. ▪︎LUKE 22:31-32 31. And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. Jesus proceeds to permanently guarantee the truth for His one Church, by sanctifying them with it: ▪︎JOHN 17:17-19 17. Sanctify them in TRUTH. Your word is TRUTH. 18. Just as you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19. And it is for them that I sanctify myself, so that they, too, may be sanctified in TRUTH. Therefore, any DIVISION occurring because of the practice of the unbiblical and man-made doctrine of "Sola Scriptura", opposed to His Will, is not covered under Christ's guarantee of truth. In the New Testament we further learn when Jesus founds His Church, Peter will not be alone; he will be accompanied by eleven Apostles who, after their death, would also be replaced by chosen successors who will inherit "Shepherd", or episcopal authority, through the same biblical method of imposition of hands, as described in Acts and in the Old Testament. It is therefore an irrefutable argument when St. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit and with full apostolic authority, declares where a Christian must go for TRUTH: ▪︎1TIMOTHY 3:15 15. But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF TRUTH. It is quite telling, the word "Church" expressed by Paul is in the singular, never once did our Lord mentions separate, "personal", churches made by unauthorized individuals, usurping Apostolic authority by "creating" their own doctrines while existing in constant divisions against the Will of God. God is truth! Therefore, fullness of truth is essential and manifested in complete unity with the one Church Jesus founded and built on Peter: ▪︎JOHN 17:21-23 21. so that they MAY ALL BE ONE, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. 22. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may BE ONE, as WE ARE ONE, 23. I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to PERFECTION AS ONE, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. There's no other choice. Unity is divine, division is of the Devil, "the divider". May God bless your discernment.

And as is today: families routinely adopted peoples into them as children and adults. The genealogy is mostly a social construct. With regard the Roman Catholic Church they have never had a compete record of who have been Popes. In the early Middle Ages there were numerous succession crisis, wars and drama with pretender popes and folk rewriting records to justify claim. The issue of Apostolic succession is one of Faith. Christians don’t not need to evidence to worship or practice their faith.

@@russellmiles2861 First, we have a bit of a different definition of what constitutes accurate genealogy. I would personally absolutely accept legal adoption as legitimate lineage, not just biological heredity. And I have no issue with Apostolic succession as faith. No problem with that at all. Heck, on faith I believe a 1st century Judean lady had a virgin birth and the guy would later rise from the dead, am I really going to quibble that much on Apostolic succession? In fact, I would say the tradition of Apostolic Succession going all the way back to the actual 12 Apostles is pretty plausible in comparison. But the question in the video was not one of faith, but of proof. And the proof answer was a hard "No". In fact, the evidence he presented suggests other wise to me. That tradition of Apostolic succession as we know it was probably added much later. That said, if we are going to talk about Apostolic authority, I would rather talk about why the Church doesn't recognize that the Apostle Paul recognized and recorded women apostles in the early church? If we accept apostolic succession, when did it stop being egalitarian?

@@blackfalcon1324 Peter could NOT be the first "Pope"!! Apostles to select another apostle to replace Judas: One of the twelve was Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus to His enemies. In agony of conscience, Judas hanged himself (Matthew 27:5). Thus, when Jesus returned to heaven, He left behind only eleven apostles. Some days later, the remaining apostles were in Jerusalem praying with Jesus’ mother, His brothers, and other believers. The group totaled about 120 (Acts 1:12-26). Simon Peter addressed the group and told them that Psalm 69:25 predicted Judas’ desertion and Psalm 109:8 predicted that the defector’s place among the apostles should be filled. The apostleship must fall to someone else. 6. Peter proposed choosing a new apostle and set the qualifications. Not everyone could be considered for an apostleship. 6A. Candidates needed to have been with Jesus during the whole three years that Jesus was among them. 6B. That is, he needed to be an eyewitness of Jesus’ baptism when the Heavenly Father validated Jesus’ person and work. He needed to have heard Jesus’ life-changing teachings 6C. and been present to see His healings and other miracles. 6D. Prospective apostles had to witnessed Jesus sacrifice Himself on the cross and to have seen Jesus walk, talk, and eat among the disciples again after His resurrection. These were the pivotal facts of Jesus’ life, the heart of the message they were to teach, and personal witnesses were required to verify the truth of the good news. The prayer group in Jerusalem nominated two who met these qualifications for apostleship: Joseph Barsabbas and Matthias. Then the disciples asked God to guide them to know which one was to fill the post. Using a method of determining God’s will that was common at that time, they cast lots, thus giving God freedom to make His choice clear. The lot fell to Matthias, and he became the twelfth apostle. NO ONE after John was qualified to be an apostle!!! Absolutely NO scripture claiming , Linus, xii; Anencletus [Cletus], xii; ) Clement, ix; . They were the only ones alive at the time of Jesus to be qualified to be an apostle. ***Is there a Linus in the Bible? Linus is only mentioned once in the Bible in 2 Timothy 4:21. He's mentioned in a string of names, not even as a standout name. Some of the names that accompany his include Pudens and Claudia. Since he barely gets a shoutout, it may seem weird that we'd even focus on him today. ---2 Timothy 4:21 King James Version (KJV) Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. NOT A POPE!!! ****Anencletus [Cletus]----Born c. AD 25. THat would have made him age 9 when Jesus died!!!! NOT A POPE!!! ----Saint (Pope) Clement: The name is mentioned in Philippians 4:3 but there is no way to connect this Clement with the Church Father known as “Saint Clement of Rome,” ... ----Is Pope Clement mentioned in the Bible?

Far from claiming honor and homage for himself, he soberly warns his fellow elders to guard against lording it over those under their pastoral care (1 Pet. 5:3). The only glory he claimed for himself was that which is shared by all believers and which is yet “to be revealed, … when the Chief Shepherd appears” (vv. 1, 4). >>>St. Peter address himself as elder in 1 Peter 5:1 and 2 Peter 3:2 as apostle. 1 Peter 5:1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Peter 3:2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy >>>>prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

I came into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil in 1999. The Baptist church of my childhood nurtured my faith and instilled in me a deep love for, and knowledge of, the Bible. In 1995, I asked myself, where did this Bible that I love and know so we’ll come from? Most certainly it did not fall from Heaven in 1611, bound in leather, and written in the king’s English. It was a fascinating, exciting, gut wrenching, four year journey that began in a little west Texas town and ended in Rome.

I would also happily join the Catholic Church, however, I simply cannot get past the loss of traditional Southern Baptist "Gaither Gospel" style music. I also become disenchanted with many Protestant churches due to the snipping and personalities in the church, they break away and form their own church, then it divides and breaks away.

Thank you so much for this video. I was raised in the South as a Baptist, as was my wife. But neither one of us were ever really happy with the Baptist church, so we fell away. After getting married, moving around for my job many times, we found ourselves looking for church "home" after our son was born. We tried many churches.. Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian. We even looked at Episcopalian. I was always fascinated by the Catholic church, but always scared of the "mysticism" of it. I spent many years in research and searching for the right church. I was fortunate to have an uncle who was a history professor and taught classes on the history of religion (all religions) and their impact on civilization. He had also converted to the Catholic church many years before. I drilled him with questions for many years about the true history of many religions. I became more and more fascinated by it. It was by the grace of God that he advised me to read "Rome Sweet Home" by Scott Hahn. That book changed my life! That brought me much closer to the Catholic church, but it wasn't until my Uncle educated me on the exact verse you mentioned in this video about Jesus telling Peter that he was his rock and upon this rock he would build his church. To me, that was indisputable evidence that Jesus himself founded the Church. Not just the Catholic church, but all of Christianity. My search ended there as I came to the conclusion that if I were to be Christian, then there is no other choice, but the Church that Jesus himself founded and gave the power to Peter to govern. My wife and I, and our then teenage son, all went through Catechism training together and entered the Church as a family. We even came back as sponsors for a few years after that. So to me, this is the original "home" of Christianity and I would we settle for a "spin off" when the original is still around after 2000+ years! Thank you again for your mission and for your wonderful videos. This one really hit home for me! May God Bless You.. in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

If Jesus founded the Roman Catholic church, then why does it keep contradicting the Bible? Rome says Muslims can go to heaven (Vatican II). The Bible says Jesus is the only way (John 14:6). Rome says that anyone who says salvation is through faith alone is anathema (Trent). The Bible teaches that salvation is through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 16:30-31).

But, one day she spoke to me much the say way you did about why go to a church that was new in history and a split from the original Church. She became a Catholic and when she died and I was sitting in the church for her Funeral Mass I kept thinking of her spiritual journey and how proud she would have been of that celebration there at the altar.

@@KingMswatiIII God bless you! The Church gave us the Bible, which is accepted by Protestants and Catholics (New Testament, anyway). If you think that Church teaching contradicts scripture, it's probably a misunderstanding. Yes, we are saved by faith, God owes us nothing based on our "goodness," but true faith shows fruit; faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26). For example, I can profess that a healthy lifestyle is a good thing, but if I don't practice a healthy lifestyle, do I really "believe" it and have "faith" in it? Lip service? True faith, saving faith, is life changing. Am I perfect? By no means! Thank God for our Lamb who paid the price and for his sacraments. As for Muslims or others being able to access the salvation which Jesus bought for all, I admit ignorance and a need to do more research; I've read/heard enough variations to not be sure where to draw the line. I admit ignorance to the portion of Vatican II you are referring to. I believe Jesus is the only way; not 100% sure how to interpret and apply that. God loves all, doesn't show favoritism, Jesus paid for the sins of us all on the cross, he forgave even his executioners (and all of us?) because they didn't know what they were doing.... Yes, sin is sin and horrific; a grievous offense against God and fellow man. I don't believe in universal salvation. But if not for a loving, merciful, forgiving, gracious, understanding God, we would all be condemned. I'm a former evangelical who entered the Catholic Church 5 years ago because studying early history and writings, I became convinced of the doctrines of "real presence" in the Eucharist and the authority of the Church which Jesus established.

Hello Priest Casey! I want to start off by saying thank you for being gracious and loving in the way that you share your faith to others. I admire your faith and the love you have for the Lord. My name is Luke, and I am Christian who is still deepening my faith as I continue to study the scripture and scholars who break down the scripture. I have been a saved Christian for many years now, but find that there is always so much more that I can learn about God, and that God can teach me. Beyond studying the Word myself, I have also been researching many different beliefs through theological books and youtube videos like this where different views different from my own on Christianity are explored. At the end of the video, you express sorrow that the other churches that have branched off from Catholicism will not rejoin the Catholic church. And you do correctly point out that all churches likely branched off of the Catholic church at one point. I do find it fascinating that you can theoretically trace the line of people ordained all the way back to Jesus! However I find that point alone is insufficient reason that all other churches should rejoin the Catholic church. As I study many different beliefs and truly strive to learn the truth of who God is and what He wants for our lives, I find that examining both sides of a theological debate is important. I search out what is considered by Biblical scholars as the most compelling arguments for both sides of a theological question. Then I (or a scholar that I am watching) will break down the arguments and see how they align with Scripture, which is God's word to us. It is important to try to avoid confirmation bias as much as possible when looking into these issues. The goal isn't to find evidence in the Bible that conform to my current view, it is about being willing to reassess my views to conform to God's Word. Sometimes I find that the evidence seems to point to what I already believed, but sometimes I find that I need to adjust my view. But sometimes, even after I hear the arguments, and I have read the Scripture, and I have heard the arguments of the theologians who have dissected the Scripture, I conclude that I still don't know the true answer. Yes, I still form an opinion that I believe to be true, but at the same time I recognize that I may not know beyond a shadow of a doubt. To be clear, these issues that I am unsure of have nothing to do with my core faith. I have assurance that I am saved by the grace and mercy given to me by the Father through the Son. But there are some issues that, while I find they are good to learn as much as I can about, I find myself unable to have total certainty on (ex. Pre-destination). Please correct me if this is not what a typical Catholic ought to say or do, but all of the Catholics that I have ever met (save 1) has always insisted that the Catholic Church is correct in every theological debate that has ever existed and is currently ongoing. They have total belief that every stance that the Catholic Church holds is intrinsically true, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now there are some people in all denominations that feel that way, and who are unable to even hear out another view. But even though I feel that this is short sighted thinking no matter who the denomination it comes from, I typically run into a second problem when discussing with someone who is in the Catholic denomination. Most of them cite the Catholic church as the primary reason that they believe what they do, rather than the Bible. Or they will even cite themselves (as in previous leaders of the Catholic Church) as the credible source that they believe what they do, over the Bible. Now I am not saying that we cannot glean insight from Biblical scholars before us; after all, I am also seeking out help from Biblical scholars as I seek out the Lord. However, I would never cite that Biblical scholar as the reason why I believe what I believe. I am listening to the Biblical Scholar because I am listening to the conclusions that they have drawn from the Bible. It is God's authority that I am listening for, not the man's. I just heard a great quote the other day, "just because you have found a teacher that you like, doesn't mean what they teach is true". I love that! That is why it is so important to seek out what Jesus and the original authors of the Bible were saying, lest we try to use the Bible or any other source to justify our own beliefs. So my question is: Is this an accurate representation of the Catholic Church? Or is this just the people I have met? Does the Catholic Church truly consider its doctrine infallible on every theological topic? Like truly beyond refute? And what sources do they primarily look towards for justifying these beliefs? I am not saying this out of accusation, but seeking genuine understanding. If the views held by my experience with the denomination is accurate, then these would be the primary reasons why I do not think a merge is possible. I know nobody may ever read this, but know that I do not want to attack brothers or sisters in Christ. I want to love those even that see things different from myself, especially those who trust in Jesus as their Savior. Thank you

Jesus said no man come to the father, but through me. And he is the only one that can forgive our sins.

As a 'protestant', I would be interested to hear a video/series on the Protestant Reformation, and possibly some of the views that the Catholic Church had on it, and why they think it came about. You mentioned having wanted a reform from within, but I have heard that Martin Luther tried to do that before he ultimately broke from the Catholic Church. Realize that I am not trying to argue. Coming from the protestant side of this, I have been watching to try to understand where some of the traditions, that I do follow, came from. I want to know what is different between these two sides, and why. I personally think that both sides are Christian, with acknowledging that there are bad seeds (the Bible does warn against false prophets) that do not teach the true faith.

From what I found, Martin Luther’s original intention was to reform the Catholic Church from within. It was not the reforms he wanted that got him in trouble. What got him excommunicated was promoting the heresy of Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide.

It's sad that those differences caused such a huge split that has exponentially multiplied into more splits.

I also was unclear about the end part. I've been through a journey, being raised as a Catholic in the Novas Ordo , post Vatican 2 Church. My journey led me to Traditional Catholicism. I admire the devout faith of many Protestants, and in SOME respects, I feel that the Catholic Traditionalists have more in common with many Protestants than with the Modernist Novus Ordo Catholics,, where heresy is common and increasing. And Pope Francis is another whole story. Dialogue IS needed, and while there is much good example from our devout Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ, compromise in the unchangeable dogma of the faith is not a point of compromised to be considered. But I'm not sure at all that that is what is being suggested.

@@JoeBoone82 I would agree we are more alike than we are different. As far as I was able to learn, we have even come to lessen some of differences, that historically seemed completely opposite. That being said, I don't believe calling oneself non-denominational or even simplifying our beliefs until we all kinda agree is a good thing. I believe we are all called to learn and get to know our own faith better, to learn about our traditions, beliefs, teachings... especially if such questions bother us. Then we are callled to learn about others, what they believe, how do they understand things differently... In doing so, we must assume the goodwill and good intent of others, even when disagreeing or remaining wary of some claims. We must also recognise others for their strengths, where we can learn from them and/or show them respect. And then we respect and love one another, even if they're different and don't agree on everything. Pretending we are all the same won't cover all the everyday minutia we have learned throughout our upbringing and life in a particular community and all that inevitably backfires when even minor issues and tensions start.

Thanks to God for bringing me here to your channel, Father. I've been a devotee of the Lord of Pardon since I was 7 or 8 years old. My mother taught me of this booklet that I would always carry with me wherever I'd go. It showed me miracles and protection. In the past few days, I began feeling worried and confused about staying as a catholic. So, I begged and prayed to God for answers bcuz I don't wanna stop being a Catholic bcuz years ago I felt this strong feeling as if it was God who was telling me that I should distribute this prayer booklet (of the Lord of Pardon) to people. I was crying as I was telling God, "Please help me, God. All my life I've devoted myself to praying to the Lord of Pardon. This can't be wrong. How can I let the other people know about these prayers if I'd change my religion?"

I always wanted to be a nun, but life took a different turn, but I've always lived my life with faith and trust in God. Without God I would be nothing, without faith I would be lost. Your messages are very important and helps to maintain my faith.

Wow. This video blew me away. My hobby is genealogy, and your tracing of the lines of succession reminded me so much of a fairly well established "fact" in genealogy that most people of European decent come from a VERY small pool of individuals. The discussion was so similar. Will we ever get a real answer? I don't know. The pointing out the vast number of Christian denomination can be confusing. I always fall back on the words of St. Paul. "Is Christ divided?" That helps me find my center and remember that, as my wife points out, we only worship one God.

Jesus founded the church. A gathering of believers whose purpose was to worship Him. No praying to Mary his human mother. No praying to human saints. No continually having Him hanging on a cross when He said “It is finished. Catholics are just a branch. Not the only or the one church.

What a fascinating discussion Padre, I never fail to learn about my faith from your missives. For a young man you are quite experienced and have a real gift of speaking in a manner we can all understand. I am happy to be a monthly supporter of your ministry and wish you ad multos annos. God bless you, and thank you! Michael J Nichols in Massachusetts

As a protestant... this was thought provoking. I yearn for the day the family can reunite.

Father Cole, God bless you for your sensitive and charitous approach to this topic. I am a Lutheran who acknowledges that Martin Luther NEVER wanted to separate from the church and start his own tradition. We are called Evangelical or Augustana Catholics. You asked why we did not work within the Church with our reforms. This is exactly what Martin Luther strived to do. Still, the leaders of the time would rather excommunicate him and kill his followers than listen to him. All the same, if your definition of "catholic" is universal, where every nation gets the same dose of the Gospel, then we Lutherans and Evangelical Catholics also believe in a catholic and apostolic church. In the same vein, we believe that all churches that believe the Gospel and that Christ is the only way to the Father and to salvation, that teaches the supremacy of the Holy Bible is part of that catholic and apostolic church. I too find the thousands of denominations a problem. A serious and tragic one. On the other hand, such divisions further convict me that Christianity is the one true faith. I have found three reasons for such divisions. The first is politics. This is where the Church of England and its offshoots some in. That church developed for one reason: so King Henry VIII could divorce his wife. The second is ethnic--especially in America. When immigrants came to this country, they brought their faith with them. You would have German Lutherans, Norwegian Lutherans, Swedish Baptists, Romanian Baptists, and so forth. They had the same beliefs but different languages and ethnic customs. Even the Roman Catholics were not immune. There would be "the Irish parish," the Italian parish," or "that Puerto Rican parish." Then you would have doctrinal/moral reasons. Black Methodist Episcopalians were not treated fully like brothers and sisters of Christ, so they created the African Methodist Episcopal Church. White Southerners broke away from the American Baptist Convention and started the Southern Baptist Convention because they were tired of being told that it was a sin to keep slaves. The Evangelical Covenant Church began when congregants were not being spiritually fed as too many priests of the Church of Sweden behaved as if they were only state employees. The Anglican Church of North America and their sister churches were formed when the Episcopal "church" insisted on promoting sin. Besides this, there were those who just wanted to create their own or, like the nondenominationals, drop all titles. This is wrong, but most of them are still brothers and sisters in Christ. As for "dropping the protest," this can happen a lot sooner if the Roman Catholic church can curb sentiments that all non-Catholics are heretics or not Christian. It can only happen when the Church of England apologizes for its persecution of English and Irish Roman Catholics and when the Roman Catholic Church apologizes for the persecution of Lutherans and Protestants--especially murders by certain leaders and the Inquisition. It can happen when all Christians can see Christ in each other.

Great to have you back Fr Casey, loved the video

Very well documented. I like also the fact you have not put down other denominations. As a catholic, I want to know who ordained the the 17 or 18 year old pope to be considered in line up to the Christ? The question now is how to reform the Catholic Church so all Christian denominations come to gether as one body , as Jesus had hoped for.

John 14:34-35 should motivate protestants, Roman Catholics, and the various orthodox to , at a minimum, love one another. As a protestant, I appreciate the Catholic Church's stance on abortion and other social issues.

Wise words, brother 🙏✨ Thank you for creating this video! 😊

Thank you Fr. Casey for your wonderful insights and thought-provoking videos! The passion in you is truly inspiring. To your question about how other churches can consider themselves "the true church": as you surely know, in the early days of Christendom there was one church but through time believes and customs changed and adjusted which is when people started to have different opinions about what was the true way to lead the church and live as a christian that Jesus had intended. So around four hundred years later the church divided and after that divided even further until there nowadays are quite many different churches with their own believes about what Christ meant with his teachings two thousand years ago and how God wants us to live an lead a church. All churches (at least most of them) think that they represent the original way, the true teachings that Christ intended to spread in the first place, and that the others have in time forgotten that and wandered away from that first and pure origin. So for me it's not a matter of who was the first (in which discussion I would not feel that catholic church is the same church than the early church during the first centuries) but rather that people have and always will have their different interpretations of Christ's teachings. But, on a completely different note, in an other video you talked about how easy it is to not notice all the good feedback in comparison with the negative, and I wanted to tell you that your videos really are great and if you enjoy making them (as it clearly seems) that's really all that matters! :)

Thank you for this nuanced explanation. As a non-Christian, I really appreciated it. I did want to add an interesting tidbit to this: which is that Mormon's also trace the founding and authority of their religion all the way back to Jesus. When you are ordained to the Priesthood in the LDS faith you are given a little paper which traces your ordination back to Jesus. Obviously they have the same problem of not actually being able to trace all the way back to Jesus. They get around this by suggesting that John the Baptist, Peter, James, and John came down to earth as heavenly messengers to personally give the founder of Mormonism the Priesthood. An interesting piece of trivia regrading how at least one group navigates this topic internally, interesting in my opinion anyways.

This is mind blowing! I love our Catholic faith!!!!!

The First mentioned Church was Jerusalem Church. Acts 2. Not R Catholic Church. The First Believers were Jewish Christians. Not R Catholics. Acts 2, Acts 11:26. ⭐ Is R Catholic CHurch the One True Church or the Universal Church or Christ’s Church? ⭐ The answer is No. ⭐ Is R Catholic Church the same as Catholic Church? ⭐ The answer is No. “catholic” in all early writings referred to all churches/all believers. Nothing to do with a local Church called R Catholic Church which came in ad300s. It is the claim of R Catholics that they are one and the same. But we know its not. How do we know? - Orthos also claimed to be the Catholic Church. So who is right? R Church or Orthos? - Bible says Church refers to all churches + all believers. So how can R Church a local church be all churches? - R Catholics can never prove when R Church really became the Universal Church. When asked which year it happened, they have no answer. Their only answer was always “R church says so” or Mat 16 or 1 Tim 3:15 say so (which they did not say so). - 95% of R Church doctrines do not resemble those from Jesus Apostles and Nt Church of the Bible. - 95% of R Church clergies do not resemble those in Scriptures. ⭐ Is R Catholic Church the One True Church? ⭐ Bible does not say a local church is the Church or the one true church. The Church in the Bible refers to all churches + all believers. How we know? Just take out all the verses the mention Church and Churches in the Bible we will know what they meant exactly. ⭐ Founding of R Catholic Church ⭐ R Catholic Church came in ad 380 when Theodosius decreed the Edict of Thessalonica. Christianity became the official religion of Rome - which later became what we called R Catholic Church. In ad 300s it was called Church of Rome or the Latin Church or the Western Church. It was just a local church. It became prominent due to its backing from Rome and later became part of the Pentarchy consisting of 5 prominent local churches - Rome, Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, Alexandria. Pentarchy + all local churches then formed the Church or the Universal Church. R Church was never the Church.

It most definitively does not prove anything. Bible says the term ‘Church’ refers to all churches + all believers.

Irenaeus Against Heresies was said to be an interpolation of many writings at different times. ⭐ Early writings proves doctrines? ⭐ Early writings do not prove doctrines. They were merely opinions of fallible writers or fan club members of Rome. Doctrines come from infallible source - God and His Word which came from the Earliest Church Fathers - Jesus, Apostles and nt Church. ⭐ Early writings similar to R Church doctrines? ⭐ Hardly. Early Church Fathers - Jesus Apostles and nt church mentioned nothing about 95% of R Church m m doctrines. The latter writings were only deviations from the teachings of Jesus, Apostles and nt church. ⭐ So where did R Church doctrines come from? ⭐ If we check history, R Church doctrines came from their own m m traditions. R Church doctrines were developed over the millennial. 95% Not from Jesus Apostles or Scriptures. Example: doctrine of transubstantiation came only in ad1215. Most R Church doctrines came from their “infallible” popes who were often in living in sin and debauchery. Some came from their own fallible councils. None Scriptural. ⭐ Is the line of popes real? ⭐ The answer is No. Famous historians who analysed the documents at Vatican library says its not a true line of popes. There were times with no pope or times with multiple popes or times with anti popes or times with duplicated names; they were the same person. Citation: Exodus From Rome Volume 1: A Biblical and Historical Critique of Roman Catholicism “A press release from Vatican City in January of 1947 reported that information was changed on seventy-four Popes on the list of Popes supposedly documenting an unbroken chain of apostolic succession. Prefect of the Vatican archives, Monsignor Angelo Mercati, conducted a thorough investigation into the lists of Popes because scholars had known that the old list was inaccurate.* Mercati’s research confirmed just how inaccurate it was. His results were the following: - Six Popes had to be dropped: one (Donus II) never existed; - two (the supposed third and fifth Popes Cletus and Anacletus) were the same man. - But three new Popes had been found: Boniface VI (for a few days in 896), and possibly, Discorus (for 22 days in 530) and Leo VIII (from 963 to 965). - In the case of no fewer than 74 Popes, changes had to be made in such matters as their names and dates. - Thirty-seven antiPopes are listed, the first of whom-Hippolytus of the 3rd century-is still considered a saint. From four legitimate pontiffs the designation of sainthood was removed. - Because of sketchy records and the questionable validity of some papal elections, Pius XII will probably never know whether he is the 256th successor to St. Peter or the 260th-or someone in between. It is clear that the Vatican, over the course of centuries, has produced fabricated lists of Popes to support their illegitimate claim for an unbroken chain of papal successors from Peter to the current Pope, but in so doing have admittedly altered, removed, added, and in some cases, invented Popes to give this appearance of uninterrupted historical continuity.” ⭐ Does a line of Popes prove Papacy? ⭐ The answer is No. Why? Every organisation has a line of leaders. Even Church of Lucy has a line of leaders. How does a line of leaders prove its a true doctrine? A line exists does not equate to it being biblical.

Father might not see your questions but I took the initiative to answer them. I am a 63-year old cradle Catholic. * How does salvation works on those who literally didn't know or havn't heard about Jesus? except for those who intently do not believe. --The Church teaches that salvation is only through Jesus Christ and his body, the Church. Yet at the same time it asserts that those who are ignorant of Christ and/or the Church through no fault of their own-what the Church calls “invincible ignorance”-may be saved. * "Transubstantiation". Us Catholics we receive gradually the body and blood of Chirst during Euchristic celebration. what advantage do we have from those who d not? and what disadvantage do they have? or how does this affect their faith for their salvation? What is then the whole basis for salvation? --Personally, our advantage as Catholics is that we are obedient to what Jesus taught. On the night before He died, He said, "Take and eat. This is My Body..." But more than that, we have an intimacy with Him that is more than a personal relationship, though unfortunately, there are Catholics who receive Him without a personal relationship with Him. But in time, the relationship will happen. I started out like this. I had no idea as a youngster that I was receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus during Communion ---I just did not learn about it. Today, I cannot let a day pass without going to Mass and receive Him. The basis of salvation of grace ---Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross enables us to be saved by virtue of Baptism and through the way we live out that baptism. Out of love for Christ, do we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, etc. We do these things because they are our expression of love for Christ. We see Christ in the sick person, in the hungry, etc. It is the grace of Christ that enables us to do these things. We respond to His grace. * How to truly be a follower of Jesus, to totally obey God's will, to be selfless like our saints does, to stop and hate sinning? --Recall what Jesus said to the rich young man who really wanted to follow Him? "Sell everything, and come, follow me." I personally think that Jesus meant us to give everything to Him ---our ambitions, our wishes, our desires, and we do only His will. St Faustina said that His will for us is Love and Mercy itself. Hope these help. Let us pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia that they may realize they are brothers and sisters. The same thing for Israel and Hamas.

I am a child of God who has been washed by the blood of the lamb Jesus

I'm so grateful for these videos coming from a big Irish family i was always in church but often tuned out ,there is always that undercurrent though thats undeniable

A video such as this dealing with this topic -is well overdue, I say this because KZread is a public forum where people of all persuasions can view/read the comments from all & sundry - hence are properly informed of the history of The Christian Faith through Roman Catholicism which is *strangely* regarded as "Not Christian". Clearly, viewing/listening to Fr. Casey in this video firmly places The Roman Catholic Church as the 'Tree trunk with tap root' of Christianity - with the break away fragments as branches, twigs & leaves espousing the Christian message in 'a fashion'. Well done Fr.Casey!👍

When his disciples asked him when he would return He said" in those days many will come in my name !!

Sincere question, though. What do the Orthodox churches say about Matthew 16 and importance of Peter as the rock upon which the church is built? If I remember Church History correctly, the Bishop of Rome was considered equal to the other bishops that became part of the Orthodox tradition.

One thing that really ensure me of the sanctity of catholic faith is how the priests are to remain celibate. I think to separate a man from his flesh is really needed to reach the kind of devotion which truly illuminates. Nuns and monks also fall into the same categories.
