And as they are just normal people with no power of there own (other than that given by god) I see asking them to pray for me the same as I would ask my family members, friends, deceased grandpa or anyone to pray for me.

Hi, I am a practicing Catholic. I watched and enjoyed this video greatly. Thanks for sharing your perspective in a charitable manner. We really need more of this online. In contrast, on KZread we tend to have Christian apologists going at each other. For instance, I was watching Father Athanasius (Orthodox criticising Catholic), Trent Horn (Catholic criticising Orthodox and Protestant), and Mike Winger (vs Trent Horn i.e. Protestant attacking Catholic). Not sure how much of that is healthy debate. One point on the "One True Church" issue though. The reason why Catholics and Orthodox tend to dig their heels in on "One True Church" is because we reject the idea of denominationalism. Apart from various theological disagreements, one big difference between Protestantism and the other two "parties" - for lack of a better word - is the idea of denominations. The difference is a little difficult to explain outright, but I can give an analogy. Imagine that Churches were ice cream vans. In the Catholic/Orthodox perspective, our view is that the decoration of the vans, and the model of the vans themselves can change, but they all have to be selling the same flavour of ice-cream. Whereas our view of Protestantism/Reformed is that Protestants believe that different flavours - and sometimes multiple - of ice-cream can be sold in the van. And there should only be one flavour - the Apostolic flavour.

Hey man, Baptist here. I have a question. What is the backing in scripture of the idea that the one true church is just that, and that it is infallible? And yes, I do 100% understand I am looking at the papacy through a Sola Scriptura lens, but I also feel there would be some form of biblical backing to support it, other than what’s mentioned in Matthew 16:19. I respect what that verse is, but to me there isn’t enough of a claim presented for the argument of apostolic succession and the idea that the Church is the ultimate authority. Again, I could be missing a bit, and I also got up not too long ago and don’t have time to fit my whole thought process in a KZread comment, so I’d appreciate the Catholic point of view

@clementwee2511

Thanks for your friendly reply! Matthew 16:18-21 is the verse used to support the authority of St Peter, that is, Petrine Primacy. Apostolic Succession is supported by the book of Acts, in which two things happen: (a) The Apostles elect St Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot; (b) The Apostles appoint bishops in the Church to lead the people. If even Judas Iscariot required a Successor, why not the other Apostles? Infallibility is indicated in the verse "Against you the Gates of Hell shall not prevail." The other term for infallibility is indefectibility. And in fact, "indefectibility" imo is the more accurate term because it is has an intuitively narrower scope than what people usually apply to infallibility. "You" is taken to refer to the entire Church as a collective. The fact that the Church is a "royal priesthood, and holy nation" is taken as an indication of authority. This part is a little less obvious to us, because most of us in modern times have been brought up under republican governments and constitutional monarchies (if you are in Europe). But in a pure monarchy, the Kingdom is an ontological extension of the monarch, and thus people are regarded as "subjects" or projections of the monarch. The authority of the Church comes from the fact that she projects the authority of Christ. Actually, Protestants - particularly Pentecostals - believe in that too. Some Protestant pastors like invoking the authority of Christ and The Father to "decree and declare" this and that. The idea that the Church is the ultimate authority comes from an idea of the equation of the Church with the Kingdom of God. WRT the Catholic Church, we have started to walk back on that idea since Vatican II. That was made clear in the document Dominus Iesus, but that point was obscured by the controversy over the term "ecclesial communities". But I sense your question isn't actually about Apostolic Succession or Ecclesial Authority, but about how the Pope somehow monopolizes these. The answer to that is a bit complex. Unfortunately, many Catholics also misrepresent the doctrine. The Succession lies with the Pope, but the Authority is still possessed by the Church as a whole. The proper Catholic doctrine - which most Catholics don't grasp - is that the Pope ONLY has a special permission to exercise the Authority on behalf of the Church. Since the Church is supposed to be Universal, the Pope thus can exercise Universal Authority. That said, the Papacy - although not the entire Roman Curia - now acknowledges that the authentic teaching of the Church was somewhat distorted by the incorporation of the Church into the Roman Empire. The manner of exercise of power became modelled on the manner of exercise of power in the Roman Empire, which, on hindsight was probably too worldly.

@@cayden3113 IMO, These are hangovers from the 16th and 17th centuries. That is, these are generational wounds. Though more of the social and emotional kind, than the spiritual kind. The first problem, actually, is the word "denominations". Catholics and Orthodox officially consider "denominations" as a Protestant thing. Orthodox have Local Churches and Catholics have Rites & Sui-Iuris churches. Do Catholics believe that doctrinal differences can matter in salvation? Yes, we do, if these are very severe doctrinal differences e.g. if you don't believe in Easter. That said, there is a mitigating factor called "Invincible Ignorance" which can be used as an "excuse". Catholics consider most Baptists Christian. The only reason that a Catholic would consider a Baptist a non-Christian is in the rare case a Baptist Church practices "spirit baptism" instead of water baptism. The Catholic Church's criterion for a baptized Christian is surprisingly simple: you are validly baptized as long as you were baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity with water. And even that rule is being loosened in practice in Latin America wrt Pentecostal Churches. That being said, as Catholics, we focus a little more on communion with Christ and the Church. In general, we still abide by the principle "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" although the exact understanding of that phrase has been contested since Vatican II.

The intent was to reform the Catholic church to remove the abuses of indulgences and put the scriptures at the top of the authority pyramid, but Rome's response was to dig in their heels and become irreformable by deciding that all Popes' past and future ex cathedra statements are true and unchangeable. I wish this would have gone differently and the Catholic church could have just willingly reformed, even modestly. If I could believe in the Roman system, I would love to be able to be Catholic because it would be so simple. I just can't convince myself that a lot of the things the Roman church asserts are true. I just can't get on board with papal infallibility in light of some of their obviously spurious doctrines, such as being able to "merit" grace through good works, and Mary's bodily assumption.

As a protestant, I think we don't value suffering & process enough. We focus on results and optimization of processes. E.g. as a teenager, even the idea of marriage was this God-glorifying partnership of mutual benefit. (E.g. save the world together like a team in the battlefield for God). It wasn't all bad. But as a teen, when I read "Strangers and Sojourners" by Michael o'brien (catholic) it floored me with this portrayal of marriage as suffering...a cross in whose long lonely years drives one to God in the loneliness,, in the emptiness, and hearing His still small voice. There was a embracing of suffering, of the non optimal, of honoring the process, and in the end, beauty. It was very different than the protestant mentality of 12 week bookstudies to a happy healthy marriage. The suffering and honoring the process produces art. Prioritizing results, and optimization of life, produces results.

2:50 True, as a Lutheran, justification by faith alone is important. Yet it can be good and bad because some think that you don't need to repent (these works are important for your own benefit but not a way to ascend into heaven).

Such a great personal story and explanation. Thank you! I’m precisely what you described as Non denominational Protestant ☺️ My story briefly🥹in Dec of 2015 out of nowhere Jesus came into my heart and life. I turned 40 that month. I was baptized the following year in 2016 in Aug. I’ve been a born again believer on fire for the Lord ever since ❤️I’m 47 now. Prior to 2015 I’d been a 15 year practicing Buddhist new age yoga teacher into all the goddess woo woo you can imagine.🙄 I’d studied Hebrew in college and attempted to convert to Orthodox Judaism “because I loved the rituals” prior to being a Buddhist. All along the years, I’ve moved and traveled extensively - happily living across the US and now abroad for 8 years. I’ve lived mostly in the Middle East these years abroad and I can’t tell you how many believers I’ve met who were born into islamic traditions but met Jesus in their dreams! That’s how Jesus meets them in their dreams. Like Afghanistan Iran Iraq Kurdistan you name it, wherever it’s forbidden to believe in Jesus is where Jesus the Holy Spirit is on fire❤️ So, I have to say from my life in the Middle East~ being born again does and is the most logical to me and in millions of peoples lives. We in the west (I’m from Santa Monica California) take it all for granted to the point of being ridiculous! “We get are grande Starbucks at the drive through in our suv and head to church using our Bible app as we rock out to Christian pop music”. We have no idea or can fathom what a believer in the Middle East, China, N Korea etc. experience is like, where they could be persecuted, or is going through, since they can’t even have a Bible because they are forbidden. How could Eastern Orthodox be the one true - to the girl in Afghanistan? How could the Roman Catholic be the one true - to the boy and his parents in Iran? How could humans claim “their denomination” is anything more than their opinion- to the sisters in Iraq ? I ask you … Would God really set up the world so His children would know the Holy Spirit but be denied heaven because- they didn’t go to Orthodox Church? 🙄🫥😬😑 The Holy Spirit dwells in me and I want less of me each day and more of Him Yeshua Hamashiach Jesus Christ my Jewish Messiah ✝️🕎✝️ I share Shabbat dinner with my husband and any believer or non believer who wants to come on Fridays to break bread with us (he’s a born into Islam met Jesus in his dreams born again Protestant from Turkey). We break bread observing the weekly feast of Shabbat and rest as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did with his disciples and I read the prayer in Hebrew and in English. We are not citizens of this place but our citizenship is in heaven with God. Perhaps one day we will be led by the Lord to “join a church denomination” but until then I will rejoice with Joy and worship my Savior. God bless you and I look forward to more videos.

First of all, I think this channel is amazing. As a recently converted zoomer, we had to fight against the same difficulties. Sometimes, feeling lonely and a bit crazy is easy because every cultural message says believing in Christ is an anachronism, an extremist ideology that made the worst crimes, etc. As a catholic, there are many things I would discuss but I think the most interesting one is the idea that only protestants can accept God's work in other Christian confessions. Saint Augustine said about that passage (Mark 37-41): " For what they ought to have forbidden was what was outside their fellowship, so that they might bring him over to the unity of the Church, and not a thing like this, in which he was at one with them, that is to say, so far as he commended the name of their Master and Lord in the casting out of devils." Saint Augustine of Hippo, De consensu evangelistarum book 4, chapter 5. If you have time to read, the whole chapter is very instructive. Also, it is notorious that Saint Augustine believed in the unity of the Church, and not the idea that there are many equally valid congregations. This doctrine was made official by the Catholic Church in 1713. The papal bull "Unigenitus" condemned the following preposition (among others): "29. Outside of the Church, no grace is granted". So, we can see this idea has deep roots and it isn't some recent theological innovation.

I love your content very informative! I was raised non denominational Protestant and switch to Catholicism as a young adult. You mentioned that since you are not bound by a one true church you can have a wider appreciation for Gods kingdom, I never looked at it that way, it is a very interesting perspective. However do you find any pros or the need in having a one true church especially in correlation to a religion surviving through the ages and standing the test of time?

I really like this channel. It’s fun and provides a lot of perspective on different denominations and your story on why you’re Presbyterian. A lot of people aren’t willing to put their religious views on display to many people, so good on ya for informing us on your views.

I think that point would kind of make more sense on a spiritual church level. Because the spiritual church would only be those who actually follow God. If someone doesn’t follow God, then they wouldn’t be a member. But an institutional church can have members on paper that might not follow God in their hearts. So it’s literally impossible for the gates of hades to prevail in the spiritual church, but it’s technically possible in a true institutional church. So if there's any hypocrisy among any popes in history, whether it’s a lot or a little doesn’t matter, it demonstrates that the gates of hades prevailed even a little bit. (Now if Jesus is talking about prevailing in the long term, then it’s safe to say we don’t know until we see the the time of the long term).

Us Catholics have a similar doctrine

I think you are mistaken to equate economic productivity with religious devotion. Sure, you could argue that Protestantism is more individualistic, so Protestant societies were more naturally predisposed to capitalism, but it is also capitalist countries that tend to most openly flaunt their immorality. So it’s a trade-off. Materially they are quite successful, but spiritually, they are dead. Conversely, in many countries that are poorer, the populations are typically very religious. All that to say, it’s a slippery slope to attribute economic success to social piety. You say yourself that the church is beset by progressive reformers who have no care for church teaching, but it is the liberal capitalist system which allows these people to thrive unopposed in the first place.

I’m confused about all these types of Christianity. My English teacher last year made us take some stupid quiz to see how Protestant we were because we we’re learning about the witch burnings that barely even happened. I scored higher because I’m Christian and everyone else scored lower. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because Catholics believe that salvation is by works, not by faith; they worship Mary; and they hold various other heretical beliefs that go against everything the Bible teaches. Or, to put it another way, because a lot of Catholic beliefs are easily misinterpreted as something blatantly heretical and unchristian, and some Catholics and a lot of Protestants (including many ex-Catholics) do misinterpret them.

Have you listened to PVK (Paul Vanderclay)?

What it comes down to me is an issue of authority. Can anyone who happens to have a bible has the authority to decide what is true and what isn't? That is my greatest concern with sola scriptura. By who's understanding of the scriptures are we to go with, and where do we find the absolute, apostolic and doctrinal truth? I think the early Church herself, tells us where to find the absolute truth: "It is incumbent to obey the presbyters who are in the Church-those who, as I have shown, possess the succession from the apostles; those who, together with the succession of the episcopate, have received the infallible charism of truth, according to the good pleasure of the Father. But [it is also incumbent] to hold in suspicion others who depart from the primitive succession, and assemble themselves together in any place whatsoever, either as heretics of perverse minds, or as schismatics puffed up and self-pleasing, or again as hypocrites, acting thus for the sake of lucre and vainglory. For all these have fallen from the truth". - Ireneaus of Lyons, Against Heresies, 4:26:2, 180 AD

You seem to be speaking as if the meaning of the scriptures were subjective, or determined by the reader. Like any text, the meaning of any scriptural passage comes from the intent of the author (in this case, both the human author and sovereign author God). And given the remarkable clarity and unity of the Bible, the intended meaning of most passages is not the nebulous, unknowable thing many claim it is, but rather something that can be gleaned quite easily by any honest and intelligent reading of the text. Most divisions on the "interpretation" of scripture either relate to the passages that are genuinely ambiguous or simply arise out of willful suppression of the truth. We will never fully know the scriptures, but God did not write them in a way that we need some higher authority to receive truth from them.

@@GR65330 The Bible makes it clear that nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. It also plainly states that God has, in love, "predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will." We can not lose our salvation because, as the scriptures unambiguously declare, it is an eternal and unbreakable gift from God in Christ, not something we ourselves earn. This doctrine is one of the most explicit in all of scripture, and to deny it requires the suppression of the truth of its teaching and the active twisting of its clear meaning. Nearly all of the other issues you mentioned are easily resolved by the clear counsel of the Bible. Both Lutherans and Calvinists, for example, believe that salvation is in the work of Christ Jesus alone through faith in him, just as the scriptures plainly declare. The two groups may not agree on the exact mechanism that baptism serves in the process of justification and/or sanctification, but they do both agree on what is made impossible to miss in the text: that it is something that goes hand in hand with belief in Christ, and that baptizing those who are saved is something that was directly commanded by him. The trinity is, as well, a very clear doctrine taught by the Bible, and would require very willful ignorance to miss. Anyone who denies the trinity, and with it, the deity of Christ, cannot be saved, because salvation requires the confession that Jesus is Lord, not as a subordinate creature to God but as God the Son himself, equal to and one with the Father.

As a Catholic i just want to clarify the topic of faith alone. We do believe that we are saved through faith and that God's grace is the only thing even giving us the chance of Heaven. But we find the use of the term "faith alone" can be misleading. The saving faith that we have in God also calls us to action, to bring others to Jesus and the Church The reason we say in the Nicene Creed that we are the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic church is that the word catholic means universal. We are the universal church, a church for all I also understand the idolatry part and the papacy (structure of the church under the pope) does have authority, I don't specifically know how much it does have, but I know Scripture is one of, if not our highest authority, it is what we base our decisions off of. The main issue Catholics have with protestantism is in the Eucharist/Communion, we believe in the real, physical presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and I know you touched on the miracles related to it. Communion is supposed to be more than just a symbol or remembrance of Jesus it is receiving him within us. We gather this from Scripture, (John 6 and the Last supper)

The Greek word for the church is "ekklesia." The Septuagint also uses this term for the "assembly" of Israel. It's important for us to understand today that that is how first century Christians understood the church. This is what Catholics and a lot of high church Protestants miss about what the church is. They pay lip service to this idea but it doesn't really translate to anything meaningful. They want the church to be the Temple, the Levites, and the priests, rather than the assembly. They want the church to have the hierarchy of priests and clergy, rather than a congregation with Jesus as the high priest. Many Protestant groups have inherited this from their Catholic roots, because the fact is, the Reformation didn't address ecclesiology as much as doctrine.

From your video it sounds like you want to be part of something solid. A tradition with a lot of history. History that holds up to scrutiny. It sounded like you made an association with protestant countries becoming more successful than other countries with different religious histories. I feel there is an association you make where Christian countries are more adaptable to societal changes because they are not as focused (or stuck) on the authority of church or concepts beyond God (to the extent of idolizing). Some questions I would ask, if that is ok, is first where and when you originally came to that conclusion? Were there numbers showing how protestant countries developed compared to non protestant countries? I would also be interested in how you defined success. With that I wonder how that association may change based on the country's official religious position (For example a country may have a rich religious history/culture but its government is secular). In other words how much has the separation of church and state impacted the development of countries? You sound like a thoughtful intelligent person who has reflected on this subject. I appreciate you sharing your perspective on this platform.

Good video

I partially agree at around 4:20 about free will in salvation. Without God the Holy Spirit working in our life we wouldn’t even think about salvation. But with our free will we can consider to reject the Holy Spirit and blaspheme against Him which is what some pharisees did and some of the mixed congregation on the exodus

You brought up free will, and I just wanted to clarify something that people such as myself believe about free will (not even saying that you’re saying this but this is something I’ve heard other people say). As a traditional Southern Baptist, we’ve had a non-Calvinist soteriology. And while we believe that we believe that we must make the free will decision to repent and believe in Christ, we don’t believe that inherently saves us, nor that either repentance or faith in and of themselves save us. They are the means through which we receive grace, but of course they do not save. We believe that God makes the first move by bringing us the Gospel and having sent Christ. So much as hearing God’s word and what He did is prevenient grace. Not only that, but God’s gracious promise to save those who repent and believe in Christ is what saves us, not faith or repentance themselves.

OMG HE SAID THAT HE LOVE US THE COPTIC

I'm coming back, and listening to your videos, I started to agree with what I understood as a calvinist notion, that "we don't have free will", because the flesh fights the Spirit to have control over our actions, and we're always fulfilling the desires of one of the two no matter what we think. So if we walk in the Spirit, we don't fulfill the flesh's wishes.

The beginning part was funny, to be honest.

I wanted to say that I watched it even though I'm a convinced atheist and I appreciated it :) (I wanted to hear to opinions that are distant from my own because I like being challenged by other points of view). It's interesting to see how others can follow the reverse path that you did! My family is calvinist while I live in a (formerly) mostly catholic nation of Europe, while I personally don't believe in God (for what I consider to be "logical reasoning", I'm sure you guys would disagree ofc 😄). There's a lot I was surprised to hear and I didn't agree with everything for obvious reasons, however I agree with the point about "Islam and their view on prisoners of war" as well as about "Protestant nations being the most successful". In fact, if I believed God's existence to be true, I'd probably be a protestant "again" (I never believed in god), regardless of my upbringing. I think protestantism is one of the branches/religions that treat people with other beliefs, including atheists, in the best way, and I would want a belief system to not think of others as necessarily wrong or to only view them as heretics. :)

I have a sincere question (in fact, I have two). I arrived by now at your channel and I saw in your KZread profile that you are "very ecumenical". Also, I saw the entire video (I wish we had more protestant theology channels that explain theology while playing Minecraft like yours. Cool!) and I got your thoughts about people from different denominations and sects that could considered be part of the spiritual body of Christ. Maybe would be useful to know that I am a Brazilian protestant baptist weakly convicted of Calvinism and not ecumenical. If I am correct, your main argument on this, taking by the video, is that there are miracles (that could not be done by the demons) that are done in those denominations and sects and this should be proof that the Holy Spirit is on those people. Am I correct? If yes, for my first question, let's consider Mathew 7.21-23 ESV: Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ People that are not sons of God can do some miraculous works by the devil's power. We see this in Exodus, in Acts and some interpretations about the Antichrist say that he will do some of this type of work. And, by what the Bible already says, you are correct: those works try to imitate God's, but can only reach a microscopic scale of it. But, what if people can be used by God for "prophesying in His name, casting out demons in His name, and doing many mighty works in His name" without being true sons of God? We see through the Scriptures some examples of people that were used by God without being sons of God, e. g. the people that preached Jesus because they envied Paul, Judas that was used for the salvation plan. Are miracles a good framework for saying that those people know God and are known by Him? I cannot ignore that maybe there is another main argument by you: these people would present the fruits of the Holy Spirit. I would like to understand more about this point of yours: why it seems that those people present it? By their works? I ask this because I have some doubts about this issue. If there are sons of God in Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church, for example (and I believe this can happen), and considering that those institutions have heresies in their core (I don't mean to be offensive to people from those religions. I know that we, protestants, in general, understand that there are heresies on their doctrines and vice-versa and I see it as something that makes sense), wouldn't those people be guided out by the Holy Spirit from those institutions? Could someone that is a son of God remain always in an institution that goes against God's will at its core?

Any identification with any particular Christianity does more harm than good. It may be better to focus on building an intimate relationship with Christ to receive guidance of the Holy Spirit. Choosing which religion is right or wrong is literally idolatry of self- YOU know what's best, what's right, and what's wrong.

I would like to discuss/debate you on why protties are wrong

Just wait guys, he's totally about to become Catholic.

Good points on beauty and tradition. Sola scriptura - under whose authority do we figure out which books are scripture and which are not? How did we get the Bible? Idolatry - so because maybe some members have poor catechesis that invalidates the whole… got it. Protestant countries are definitely objectively more successful; turns out that when the culture claims everything (including God) can be formed in your own image, individuals tend to go out and take instead of try to support the whole. The church is truly universal (small c “Catholic”) and yes the Holy Spirit can and does move even within pagan societies (that is definitely biblical) but that is hardly an argument against the possibility of a “one true church”. Sinners are everywhere and Saints are everywhere too, but there remains a possibility that Jesus founded only one movement of people and despite their being broken human beings His intent was that we keep together even if He knew we’d mess it up.

The real question - do you feel closer connected to Catholicism or Non-denominationalism?

Depressed bees should get carrots.... got it!

I really like this channel. What I don’t like is the author’s take on Orthodox Christianity. It’s true that it’s quite traditional and conservative but it isn’t like the church fathers would go out of their way to banish you or anathema you. They would get mad if you try to change the scripture and try to pull off the things that you guys protestants have been doing lately (not all of you). Most people I know are pretty open to new ideas. (Not too much). There are things about other denominations that I like and things I don’t. I don’t believe I sin because I don’t agree with everything the church says. There should be a room for critical thinking. I really believe that the Zoomer holds a grudge against Orthodox Christianity for some reason. Probably because it’s mostly Russia and Eastern Europe which is sceptical towards the west

One of the reasons I cannot be Protestant is the philosophical inconsistency of sola scriptura. You said in the video that both scripture and Church have authority, but that scripture is superior. The problem with this is that if the tradition or church has an interpretation of scripture that happens to disagree with yours, then you could just easily write off the church as not “conforming to scripture”. Without a living authority to interpret scripture and create a clear distinction between Christian and non-Christian, how are we to distinguish between true biblical teaching and what I simply interpret that teaching to be?

Do you think Jesus would support the split from original church? Would he be happy to have so many competing communities from which maybe just the one is exactly right? (or all are wrong in some regards). It will never happen that all people agree on everything, but to not tolerate some minor things and do your own things instead smells like a bit of pride to me. I can't help myself to think that Jesus is more sad by the fact of his divided followers than by the fact that any church got something wrong. At least I'd be sad if my children would split like that.

If "unchanging teachings" you are talking about what SOME of the Church Fathers said (i.e Ignatius of Antioch) and a lot of things that became part of the tradition with medieval scholasticism, so you are right lol. What reformers as Luther and Calvin did was to resume aspects of the Augustinian theology that were left aside by the Catholic Church and to systematize a theology based on the scriptures.

I do think that the people in the Catholic Church were unwilling to fix the problems, not the Catholic Church itself. There is a difference. As a Catholic, I believe that the Church and the Pope (on theological and moral teachings) is infallible, but the people within the Church are flawed.

Where's your video on why you're not catholic?

On idolization, we Catholics idolize the divinely instituted part of the Church, and abide by the just authority instituted by God, both in the Church hierarchy and in state power, just in the sense St. Thomas Aquinas defined. To idolize divinity, is good because all things divine belong to God, its good to idolize the Bible because the Bible is the literal word of God, it is good to idolize the Church as the divinely instituted authority of God. You would be idolizing God and His divinity. On reforming, it's impossible for protestants to accurately reform "the church" using scripture for two reasons; they don't have a Church with any sort of authority, and they don't have a dogmatic understanding of the Bible. The latter of which is most important, and is the reason protestants have snowballed into over 20,000 sects. On your cultural points and beliefs on nations, this aspect is completely subjective and not really worth arguing, since it's just an opinion.

We know this is true of the Old Testament because, in addition to Jesus explicitly saying so for the books of Moses, the Psalms, and the prophets, the old testament prophets performed signs and miracles as a testament that they were speaking God's word. Ester and maybe Ecclesiastes are probably the only books that might be contested, but that's not really plausible given the history and acceptance they have in Jewish, now Christian, scripture. The New Testament is composed of books written by the apostles who were taught by Jesus during His earthly ministry, commanded to go out into all nations spreading the gospel, and were filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost for this very purpose. Not every book was written by an apostle. Mark, Luke, and James the brother of Jesus were either compiling witness accounts or had been with Jesus and approved by the apostles in their writing as part of their ministry. Paul was called by Jesus on the road to Damascus and sent out as an apostle to the gentiles. Inspiration is generally associated with this authority of being sent by Jesus. The big thing here is having the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and authority of being sent by Jesus or, to a lesser degree, the witness accounts and direction of the apostles. This is a big topic and there's a lot more reasoning behind it, but the early church had to put together the canon of scripture because false teachers and works of fiction started popping up. I guess to your point, it's not that the church today ought to be able to not err. It's that because Jesus was the final revelation of God's word there will never be any new revelation. The church does make mistakes, but it is subordinate to the word of God and can be corrected when it does.
