    @@samtomes7604 Are you familiar with the old “You might be a redneck… if…” jokes (from the comedian Jeff Foxworthy)? I’ve been watching a lot of Catholic apologetics and debate videos over the last few months, and have gotten very used to the Catholic-hating trolls, and the characteristics that define them - and I think we could make a list to help identify these trolls. So here is a start. You might be a Catholic-hating troll… IF… …You never refer to Catholics as just “Catholics” but instead ALWAYS use “Roman” in front of it (I think all the other Catholic rites must feel so ignored lol) …You write very very long replies to people, yet despite this, you seldom answer or address questions others ask to you …You have to use the word “paganism” in at least every other post you make (as an equivalent to Catholicism) …You can’t deviate from a script much and you do a WHOLE LOT of cut and paste in your never-ending “quote a scripture” game to demonstrate that Catholics aren’t Christians and are all going to hell …You don’t ACTUALLY WATCH the videos that you comment on, as you are not interested in what any “deceived” Catholics have to say …You like to lure people into a “discussion” with a simple question or statement… but you really have no interest in their answer, as their answer is merely just a pretext for launching into a long series of cut-and-past posts which “prove” how bad the RCC is (RCC is also a favorite abbreviation) …You keep very late hours making your long KZread posts, as you view letting the world know “how bad the RCC is” to be a serious business, a personal vocation …You claim to you know a lot about the Catholic Church and what it teaches, yet have never read any part of the Catholic catechism …You never state what your own denomination is … And, if anyone ever asks you about any of the above, you simply ignore them and keep doing your thing (after all, you have a mission to accomplish) These are some of the things that I’ve come up with that are typical defining features. Of course, the Catholic-hating trolls know who they are lol… but sometimes very well-meaning other posters start to engage these trolls without realizing they AREN’T getting into a conversation with another human who is interested in a true good-faith conversation. So my advice to others is to be respectful of the trolls, but not to get sucked into long back-and-forth discussions with them that will leave you frustrated and scratching your head. They truly don’t care about anything you have to say. You must understand this. If you have even the slightest pro-Catholic opinion on anything… then you have been “deceived” by the pagan church in their eyes. These people believe they have a direct connection to God, and that you have NO connection - thus they can speak with 100% confidence in all they say. So figure out your own way to try to love and pray for these people, but be clear-headed when on KZread and realize that not ONE of these people has EVER been convinced by a pro-Catholic viewpoint articulated in KZread comments. God may get through to them in a different way eventually - perhaps by the lifetime witness and prayers of a family member or by some personal crisis of faith that humbles them and makes them reassess their faith - but none of our comments will convince them. Heck, they don’t even watch or care about the wonderful videos right in front of them by people like Trent, or Scott Hahn, or many others - so they certainly don’t give a hoot about any comments us average Catholics can come up with - no matter how sincere we may be in engaging them and how well we may think we’ve elucidated some aspect of Catholic teaching or belief. So beware of time-wasting trolls (unless you just want to use the opportunity to sharpen your own apologetics skills, regardless of the quality of the overall engagement). Love them and pray for them, but don’t allow them to suck you in.

    @@dmd418 First off, sola scriptura is a deductive recognition, not a doctrine explicitly and dogmatically taught in the Bible. The idea of sola scripture is that the Bible is the only infallible authority for *faith* and *practice* . Just because we proclaim that the Bible is the sole authority for those things does not mean that we cannot logically deduce an apodictic thing by observing the nature of scripture and the things around it, in fact, that’s how we come to the knowledge of the Bible’s authority in the first place. Again, the idea that the Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice is deductive, not purely hermeneutical. I’ll try to formulate a well put syllogism here soon. It would be a lot easier if I went ahead and did that.

    I don't understand how Cameron can think even those 66 books are the "word of god" without a visible authority. There are many internet protestants who are not going in the opposite direction and saying the catholic church has "hidden" the word of God by not including books like Enoch, or other old testament apocrypha... So Protestantism is just a huge mess of endless discussion amongst individuals, with some preachers becoming popular because they appeal to whatever is the popular cultural mindset of the time.

    I find it interesting that Cameron not being able to define Protestant (beyond perhaps, "not Catholic or Orthodox") is less of an issue for him than accepting Catholic authority, which at the very least CAN define itself and its beliefs. I have watched a fair amount of Cameron's interviews but not all of them so perhaps I've missed some pieces. I just find his VERY analytical journey to researching Catholicism to be so starkly different from how he speaks about protestantism.

    As an intellectual convert from "mere Christianity" (with certain and specific Protestant influences) to the Catholic Church myself, I would say, of course Protestantism isn't a general Christian starting point because it's historically a defective consequence of bad Catholics. And that's with the history of Eastern Orthodoxy being ignored. It indeed all comes down to Teaching Authority. And a Magisterium guided by the Holy Spirit, as Scripturally promised by Christ, has also historically proven to be more effectively Unifying then the partially educated intellects of individuals reading the Bible for themselves, as Scripturally condemned by St. Peter. That's since been proven chaos as Protestant Denominational-ISM.

    Agreed. I've been following a good portion of Cameron's exploration of Catholocism, and it's starting to seem like he's unwilling to commit to any serious consideration of Catholicism. To me, this shows itself in instances like the one you mentioned; he gets bogged down by an inability or unwillingness to clarify terms and then explore the contrast. At best, he states, "I haven't thought enough about XYZ" as his defense against taking a position one way or the other. I'm almost tempted to say that it appears he's simply in a stage of general deconstruction rather than considering "Catholicism or Ptrotestantism" due to his aforementioned lack of holding a position. This begs the question for me: is Cameron genuinely considering the Catholic arguments, or is this merely a series of hosting and being hosted on KZread under the guise of "swimming the Tiber"? I don't mean to imply malice or a lust for clout, as Cameron doesn't strike me that way. All I'm attempting to say is that this process seems more like Cameron simply enjoys having conversations and may not actually be allowing himself to be affected by them.

    @@repentantrevenant9776 I’ll answer your question but it’s interesting that Merriam-Webster defines Protestant in the following way: “a member of any of several church denominations denying the universal authority of the Pope and affirming the Reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth broadly : a Christian not of a Catholic or Eastern church” you can see in the first definition, it’s narrower it involves some key affirmations of the Protestant reformation. It’s true we sometimes use the label colloquially to refer to the broader group described under the “broadly” section. That’s fine in certain contexts, but I just think it’s sloppy when you are having a conversation about the actual beliefs and commitments of these different groups. In terms of what to call them, it depends on what they are. For example Progressive Christians are not Catholic or Orthodox but most of them have very little in common with the Protestant reformers, so I would just call them Progressive Christians. You might have some Barthians who don’t believe that Scripture is the word of God but it testifies to Christ who is the Word of God. Call them neo Orthodox or Barthians. I wouldn’t call Mormons or JWs Protestants either. They would be called Mormons or JWs. Perhaps you would even have some people that would only fit the description of a Mere Christian. Again, all of these groups could colloquially referred to as Protestant in some broad sense that they are not Catholic or Orthodox, but they are not good representations of historic Protestantism at a definitional level because they are missing those key theological emphases that sparked the Protestant reformation, one of which is a strong commitment to the primacy of Scripture over against any alternative authority.

We can only inform true conversion cones from God given conviction and inner journey . I'm really not trying to be unkind but catholicism is about the mind and the heart. Faith and reason.

    I had the same comment about Cam listening to this conversation and I felt Cam was somewhat flippant hearing Mr. Horn's comments regarding the faith. I heard the podcast with Cam, Matt Fradd, and Dr. Scott Hahn and I thought the arguments Dr. Hahn made for the Papacy were solid- the Papacy being one of Cam's blocks to Catholicism. But it seemed Cam was much more receptive back then... as opposed to now. Here, Cam has the "yea but" thing going or "lets change topics" which I find common discussing the faith with protestants. Cam is not going to admit he is on the wrong path to Salvation (as I've read many converts admit) nor IF he converted Catholic how to make an income. But, as Mr. Horn has stated before... he's not trying to convert necessarily the person in front of him but more towards protestants that might be on the fence.

    At about 28:00 Trent says “If you believe that Christian authority is not relegated to Scripture alone, but there is a living voice of the church that has continued since the apostles, then I think that really only Orthodoxy and Catholicism the primary live options.” I have to disagree here. Sola Scriptura does not mean that authority is relegated to Scripture alone. It means Scripture alone is infallible and therefore the final authority for every thing else. The reformers would have had no problem with the idea of church tradition having authority, it’s just not an unerring one and therefore can be corrected by Scripture. Now you may have reasons to disagree with that, but this is what Protestants have historically affirmed, which is why Calvin, Luther and the other reformers were constantly referencing the church fathers and every major protestant denomination holds to the early catholic creeds, including the Apostles Creed, The Nicene creed and the Chalcedonian creed.

    This fundamentally misunderstands Tradition, removes all substance from Tradition, and thereby proves Trent's point. Tradition cannot be corrected by Scripture, for Tradition is the proper lived interpretation, application, and extrapolation of Scripture. The authority of Tradition is as the interpretive key of Scripture in life. If, on the other hand, it is supposed that Scripture can overrule Tradition, then Tradition no longer possesses the very content that constitutes its authority. The only authority that remains is Scripture, just as Trent States.

In general, the more universal a belief or doctrine is in church history and the closer it is to those beliefs which are necessary for salvation, the more weight they hold when influencing our interpretation of Scripture. For example, if one of these people is saying something with little or no precedent in church history and especially if it’s on a doctrine that, if one were to err in it, could jeopardize one’s salvation, that is one of the primary arguments which the other person should use against it, on top of any exegetical or theological arguments against it. A good example of this is beliefs about the nature of hell. The predominant view in church history is eternal conscious torment, but you can find some support for annihilationism and universalism. One of the arguments which proponents of the predominant view is this is how the church has understood the Scriptures for most of its life, with few exceptions. That’s a very powerful argument I think although not finally conclusive, since it doesn’t seem like it’s necessary for salvation and although early church councils certainly affirm the reality of final judgment they refrained from speaking too dogmatically about its specific nature. In other words, exegetical considerations are the most important kinds of evidence to look at but church tradition is virtually always appealed to in one way or another. The catholic or orthodox May retort by saying, but tradition is still not finally conclusive for the Protestant, and that’s true, but to say that does not mean it’s not significant or influential or hasn’t actually shaped Protestant interpretations of Scripture. It most certainly has, because for Protestants tradition is genuinely authoritative, just not infallibly and finally so.

But grant it that we could come up with a better analogy in the same genre, such as the federal legislature passing a law to overrule the laws of a state legislature. This is still not a good analogy for Scripture and Tradition because it lies in the wrong genre of analogy. Scripture and Tradition are not two agents capable of going back and forth with one another. There is no sense in which the two make proposals and then one of them has to win out--as in the case of the two legislatures. Rather, Tradition brings to life what is exposed in the Scripture beyond the confines of Scripture. It is not a lesser legislature bringing an alternative proposal; it is the sum total of the jurisprudence regarding the proposals of the legislature. Moreover, this proper understanding of Tradition is the safeguard of the authority of the Scriptures over against the interpretive will of the individual. If Tradition can be overruled Scripture, then a claim of Scripture can be asserted over and against any other claim of Scripture. There is no recourse to resolving such disputes: Scripture and overruleable-Tradition together have no special power against an a claim that Scripture shows the Traditional understanding of Scripture is wrong and therefore must be overruled--that's nothing more than the essential assertion of the Protestant Reformation! Consequently, everyone is left to the favorite interpretation of Scripture, hence the steady profusion of Protestant denominations.

    I think protestant authority is a more implicit one. There's one Brazilian Baptist guy who does anti-catholic content all the time on youtube and he dismisses the writings of the apostolic fathers as "secondary sources" which aren't enough to validate some Catholic claims, like transubstantiation and an strict hierarchy inside the Church, even if they don't contradict what's in the Bible and are as good as it gets from a historical source point of view of what the early Church believed. It's like he wants his listeners to take his authority of what he think is and what isn't valid over people who actually knew the Apostles. People who consume his content take his vision of Christianity as an authority. Maybe it's a collection of opinions from different pastors, apologists and their own interpretation mixed in it, but there's still a huge element of authority. They just point to the Scriptures as a form of scapegoat, we all know how many thousands different interpretations they got after the protestant revolution (revolution is a better fitting name, a claim of no need for authority which ended up just with lots of authorities). Sorry for any English mistakes, ESL here.

    Hello! Thank you for the video. I am a protestant who has an identical twin who converted to Roman Catholicism. As such I have been investigating many of the claims of Roman Catholicism for several years. I have for months been plodding through the book Roman but Not Catholic and was pleased to see it referenced and discussed here. The book I find to be one of the best works in answer to the claims of Roman Catholicism from a protestant perspective. I have had difficulty finding any Roman Catholic response to it or a any work in a similar vein directed towards the claims of Protestantism. Would be appreciative of any direction which can be provided here. I found most interesting in the video the discussion on argumentation as my main criticism of the work by Collins and Walls is that the same argument from skepticism is used repeatedly to the point of exhaustion and I agreed that care should be taken in argumentation so as to avoid inconsistent approaches to the discussion, proofs and dismissal of religious ideas. Pure skepticism would lead I think to angosticism neither for or against God and so I find it troublesome in the way it is applied at times in religious disputes such as how it is applied in Collins and Walls work. That said their treatment is quite comprehensive and approaches the discussions from a better place and I have yet to find any comprehensive Roman Catholic response to it. This I state as a challenge should someone feel free to respond! Thanks again for the video!

    Hello, Kyle. You asked for sources to aid your research, and I apologize for not being able to contribute, but allow me to suggest an additional element that may improve your investigations. Look into the history of miracles in the Catholic Church. For example, Padre Pio is a famous miracle worker from recent times. You also have saints with a more intellectual and monastic life experience also rich in miracles. Saints Tereza of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, John Vianney, John Bosco, Margaret Mary Alacocque, Gemma Galgani, to name a few. There are also eucharistic miracles, prophesies from centuries past that foretold the 1960's cultural and spiritual upheaval, and many more. In short, it's a never ending source of research on miracles, and truly wonderful, full of triumph and also woes (eg, exactly one hundred years before the French revolution, to the exact day, Our Lord appeared to the king of France asking him to consecrate the country to Him & his Sacred Heart. The king and his successors didn't fufillthe request, and so the revolution broke out 100 years later and the country wasn't able to resist it. The execution of 11 carmelite nuns by guillotine became a spiritual landmark). There's also the battle of Lepanto and many other events. In case you're interested, ask and I'll share youtube links for both short and long videos to meet your convenience. And above all, may Our Lord guide us and kindle His Spirit in our hearts.

I have not much looked at the history of miracles in the Roman Catholic church and perhaps I should take more of a look there. The primary reason I can say that I have not is that I am familiar with miracle stories from some protestant traditions as well as personally from some protestants. This admittedly makes it difficult to know what miracles can tell us regarding the correctness of a perspective aside from the fact that God is very good and gracious in his dealings with us regardless of the correctness of our views. That said I have not delved much into the history of miracles in the Roman Catholic or for that matter in the Eastern Orthodox traditions but I did recently go through the The Life of St. Anthony by Athanasius and found it facinating.

I am not 100% certain but I think the CCC affirms true miracles and works of the Holy Spirit occuring in protestant traditions so I'm unsure in what sense you are meaning. If God is good and generous and if I am a separatated brother would you not expect me to be able to give testimony to true and proven miracles? Just because I don't agree on a topic like Transubstantiation, it to me doesn't seem to follow that God would restrict real miracles from occuring in my life, in fact I might expect them as a way for him to maybe soften me or discipline me towards your Church right?? All this to say from my own experience and reflection I find miracles a dubious kind of evidence in and of themselves to prove much of anything. This said however I would expect them in connection to correct belief. As a way to flip things perhaps eucharistic miracles are God's mercy to encourage you in your beliefs irregardless of how right it is in order to direct your spiritual thoughts more towards Him for Him to eventually open you up to more generous view of protestantism?? 😉 Just because a miracle occurs in connection to a belief doesn't mean it actually proves that belief though of course it might. I don't deny the supernatural so am open to God's wonder working power to confirm truth however He wishes in my life. So far this has not been to convince me of Roman Catholicism however He has, through miracles in my life, made me more open in that regard. I do have issues with forms of protestantism that would deny the supernatural and would critique Roman Catholicism for it's claim of miracles. Hope this helps explain more where I am coming from.

    Not every word or action the Pope says or takes becomes part of the magisterium. Especially, when it contradicts the other legs of the stool, namely Sacred Tradition, and Sacred Scripture. How do you explain it? Well, the Church has been infiltrated over the last 100+ years by Communists, freemasons, and the like, who at the end of the day are Satanists whether they are conscious of it or not. These people seek to destroy the Church from within by leading many souls astray and into hell. Our Lady of Good Success is a Marian apparition from the 1600s that predicted this would happen to the T. Now, you have put quite the magnifier on the Catholic Church in seeking what fault you may find with it. We have the Sacraments, Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture (a gift of Tradition to thee btw), solid catechisms (Council of Trent, Explained by Fr. Spirago, etc.), the teachings of the saints, and priests that have held to the Orthodox Catholic faith among other things to hold onto. Have you done the same with the position you hold? Some examples: Please explain to me on what basis do you deny Jesus's words about His Body and Blood as symbolism (or otherwise)? See, Matthew 26:26, John 6, Mark 14:22, 1 Cor 11:26, 1 Cor 5:7. On what basis, do you deny His very words about divorce? Matthew 19. Or Confession/Reconciliation/Penance - John 20:22, 2 Cor 5:18?

    The way I heard it explained best was this: Catholics have three equal authorities: Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium. Orthodox Christians only have two: Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Protestants only have one: Sacred Scripture, and Mere-Christians have no established authority yet. One might be tempted to ask, "What if tradition / the magisterium contradict Scripture?" to which I'd reply, "They can't." The Holy Spirit guides all three, and the Holy Spirit can't lie or contradict itself. In the same vein, there are some passages in Scripture that appear to "contradict," but don't actually contradict, because Sacred Scripture can't and doesn't contradict itself, at least not in theological teaching or doctrine.

The discussion about Protestant/Sola Scriptura/Mere Christianity is suspended in rarified air only even plausible in a modern context with Christianity in a million pieces and speaking in a context without any roots or foundations. There were ZERO “Christians” in 38 A.D. having these discussions. If you were a Christian, it was because you heard apostolic preaching about Christ from his Church via apostles or men under their authority. If you repented and believed, that Church baptized you and made you a disciple by believing what THEY had been taught from the Lord and incorporated you into Christ’s body. They fed you with the true body & blood of Christ in the Eucharist. You became part of a local church. Only apostles were able to incorporate churches and all believers were ultimately under their authority. “How shall they hear without a preacher” and that one had to be sent under the authority of the apostles. You guys are discussing theories totally without any grounding in what the apostles (and their successors) would have considered “Christian”; a Christianity without the authority of Christ. Sorry, you can play with ideas & theories but you can’t have authentic Christianity that is fundamentally different than in the beginning. You can’t have Christ, the head, without accepting his body as well.

    The fundamental issue of Christianity is one being in right relationship with God. Christ Jesus came to earth to make a way for sinful man (sinful man being man in an incorrect relationship with God) to God and He taught, along with His commissioned apostles, how we can be/live in right relationship with God. This right relationship was made in the form of a covenant and from that a kingdom (with Christ being the king of God’s kingdom). The authority then is Christ Jesus and after that His commissioned apostles who were made ministers of the covenant by Christ Jesus. Epistemically then there are three proposed ways to know what this authority teaches/commands: 1. Written texts from these authorities (either written by them or done in approval of them while they were around). Some then make this epistemic way back to the authority as being the authority itself (maybe with the claim this was inspired by God to be the recorded rule of the original authority to be followed by generations not alive in the apostles time). 2. Historical figures that somehow have a link back to the apostles while they were on earth. Some then make this epistemic way back to the authority as being the authority itself (maybe with claim the authority can actually be passed down/transferred successively and that this is not just a mere epistemic way back to it). 3. The Holy Spirit leading people into the truth of all that Christ Jesus and the apostles taught/commanded. Some then make this the epistemic way back to authority as being the authority. God bless

Personally how I might address the protestant "gap" (i.e. that is the gap between mere Christianity and the protestant authority of sola Scriptura) is rooted in a broader study of church history and theology. As a protestant, I don't deny that the church gave us the Bible and the creeds. However, I don't think I'm alone in seeing that the Catholic church continued to add new novel doctrines as the years progressed. This observation does not move me toward viewing these differences as heresy but toward ecumicism. I have also observed how protestants have introduced some new teaching as well. And I don't feel the need for tribalism on the playground of Christianity.

    @@cmac369 I think you may be trying to overthink it. Novel as a the new doctrines introduced as years progressed. Atonement theories is a great example of the manifold changes the church has undergone concerning the meaning of Christ death. The Protestant tradition has introduced many new doctrines. It has also reinvigorated many old ones. There has always been a great diversity in a Christianity from the beginning. An appeal to authority is often nothing more than an appeal for control. But I don’t see a need to apostolic succession as an authority. Maybe to draw an analogy, in America our founders wrote wrote a document which was a unifying composition of those core ideas we call the constitution (and bill of rights). However, what we don’t believe is that only a select group, those ordained by the founders have the authority for interpretation and application. We all have the ability to engage in this project. (I see a way in which this illustration can apply to Catholic authority, but the fact that it can be imagined differently is point enough). Likewise, it appears much like the Jewish tradition that preceded it, we too are people of a book. The “founders” passed onto us a book as a guide as a way of inviting us all into the project of wresting with the faith. Tradition was more important before the book, and less important afterwards. This need to appeal to a greater authority, I think, actually has the unintended effect to undermine their work. I’ll try for another illustration. If you went through the effort of writing the safety guidelines for your work, yet people continually came to you asking question rather than referring to your document, one might conclude their is something wrong with your document. At this point I might also like to add that that I believe we have something greater than a dead words on a page, but the ability to be in a living relationship with God.

    @@jonnichols4663 It just surprises me that protestants see authority so differently than catholics. I won’t argue with what you said just appreciate that people see differently. However, I will just point out the problems that catholics have with what you’re saying. But first give an illustration for yourself and for anyone else reading that I think cuts to the core of the sola scriptura problem. Imagine you have older mother who’s baking recipes you enjoy. She’s getting older and you tell your son to get the recipe and write it down. Your son goes with paper and pen and asks granny how she makes her famous cookies. She tells him the ingredients and he writes them down, but some of what she says he just decides to not write down as he knows he’ll remember it. For example, she might say she adds 1 cup of choc chips but that you can do half choc and half raisins. Your son just writes 1 cup of choc chips. And maybe she says cook at 350 degrees for 8 min, but she says if they come out to wet bake another 5 minutes. Your son decides not to write bake another 5 minutes if cookies are wet because he’ll remember it. When your son gets home he starts making the recipes she gave him. And when the cookies are done his brother says why did you make the cookies with raisins the recipe doesn’t say that. But your son responds he did what she told him to do. You can imagine a scenario where following the written recipe would actually get the recipe all wrong. Your son at this point is the steward of the recipe. He has the authority to tell everyone what grandmas recipe is. Similarly, we have no reason that we should only go by the bible, the written record of the apostles, but follow all we have been told. And when do try to go just by the bible all we do is come up with different interpretations. What’s at stake is the truth of Christianity. A person can’t go only by the bible because it doesn’t allow it. It must be interpreted by someone. But who? That’s the question. If we everyone can interpret it then Christianity is essentially subjective religion. If only a select group can interpret there will inevitably people who disagree but at least you have a single objective teaching and religion. Here are my problems with what you write: - I like your analogy about the constitution. However, I disagree with your analysis. WE DO have a select group of people ordained by the founders. It’s congress, the president, and the supreme court. They are elected and that’s exactly why the system works because someone is in charge, someone has authority. Otherwise you would have anarchy. That’s what I can’t understand about protestants. You say you cant’ “see the need for apostolic succession.” It’s like saying I can’t see the need for a judge in a court room as long as we have the constitution. The constitution has authority but the judge has authority too. How could it be functional any other way? -You said, “An appeal to authority is often nothing more than an appeal for control.” I would disagree again. It’s actually a lot more than an appeal to control. It’s an appeal that something actually is true. If you’re in a room and the teacher is testing you on catcher in the rye, she can’t test you unless there’s a definitive answer. IF she asks “what is the theme of the book”? You could write whatever you want and you’d be write. But that’s not how it works. She tells you the acceptable answers and you remember what they are. If we’re supposed to obey the church and the church is fundamentally subjective, and not everyone agrees which church or which doctrines, where does that leave us? Who are we supposed to obey? There’s no truth at that point. The fact that there’s diversity doesn’t mean there’s no true doctrines. Shouldn’t there be true doctrines, if the person founding the church is claiming to be Truth. What you’re doing is reading sola scriptura invented by martin luther into history. But I’ll leave you with this last question to think about or wrestle with. When Jesus looked out on his apostles as he ascended into heaven did he look out with the hope that Andrew would preach a type of Baptism that Philip would disagree with? Was Jesus’ plan that Simon would preach salvation that was different from John? If the answer is no, Jesus’ wanted one single doctrine, which denomination of Christianity teaches that?

    To assert that the Catholic Church is an errant theological position is a claim to authority. Any theological, moral, interpretive or religious assertion of error can only come from a position of theological, moral, interpretive or religious authority. If you argue against this then you lose the right to claim that which you oppose is in error. Now you might claim that it is scripture that argues against Catholicism and not protestantism per se, but it isn't explicitly evident from scripture that Catholicism is wrong, since it comes down to interpretation, which again is an authoritative claim, I think what scripture is saying is this as opposed to what others are saying about scripture. So be it Catholicism or protestantism, it's based on an authoritative claim. If not, you have no legitimacy to claim anything.

Archbishop Peter Kenrick prepared a paper on this subject, which was to be delivered to Vatican I (1870). However, it was never delivered, but it was published later, along with other insights.[5] He points out the 5 interpretations of Matt. 16:18, to which Fathers of antiquity held: All Christians were the living stones, held by very few Fathers-. Origen who is a common source of patristic exegetical tradition: states “‘If we also say “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” then we also become Peter . . . for whoever assimilates to Christ, becomes rock. Does Christ give the keys of the kingdom to Peter alone, whereas other blessed people cannot receive them?’” (Origen, Commentary on Matthew). All the apostles, 8 Fathers (Cyprian et al). Christ as the Rock, 16 Fathers (Eusebius, early Augustine). Eusebius of Caesarea (D. 263-339), in his view (“rock” as Christ), He links this interpretation with the parallel rock and foundation statements of 1 Corinthians 3:11 and 10:4. Peter as the Rock, 17 Fathers. The Rock upon which the Church was built was the Faith that Peter confessed, 44 Fathers, including the most important Fathers (e.g., Basil of Seleucia [448]; Cyril of Alexandria; Chrysostom, Ambrose, Hilary,[6] Jerome, and Augustine again. Note, that Augustine (later in life) Augustine stated: Christ, you see, built his Church not on a man but on Peter’s confession. What is Peter’s confession? ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ There’s the rock for you, there’s the foundation, there’s where the Church has been built, which the gates of the underworld cannot conquer (Retractations).[7] Thus, only 20% of the Fathers held to Rome’s now canonized “infallible” “Petrine Rock” interpretation of Matthew 16:18. That is far from being the norm of the early church. Kendrick concluded: “If we are bound to follow the majority of the fathers in this thing, then we are bound to hold for certain that the “rock” should be understood the faith professed by Peter, not Peter professing the faith.”[8] As Roman Catholic apologist, H. Burn-Murdock actually admitted: “None of the writings of the first two centuries describe St. Peter as a bishop of Rome.”[9] In fact, no one before Callistus (c. A.D. 218-223) used Matthew 16:18 to support the primacy of the Roman bishop.

    Cameron, before you make any decisions, just ask yourself in what way has Christ not been sufficient for you already? What promises has he not kept? What have you lacked that he has not provided? How has he failed you?Switching to Catholicism because it is "the one true church" implies he is not all sufficient for you already. Just consider.

    No, it means that Jesus is all sufficient. If Jesus indeed founded the church and left her the full deposit of truth, protestantism is the one that offers a broken, half view of Jesus that allows us to pick and choose even the church that we want, not the one that He made, that He left. Jesus is all sufficient to me, which is why His church is the one I follow. His promises have indeed never failed, so I believe in my heart that the gates of he'll will not prevail against His church. Jesus is all sufficient so I don't need to go finding my own reasoning to follow Him. I follow Him as He wanted me to, under the authority He left with His apostles even when it's not what I would naturally lean towards because I trust Him, no myself

    My reason for entering RCIA, if it helps, is that I love Jesus. And I want to keep His commands to the fullest and to experience His love and earthly graces to the fullest through what Scripture seems to teach He left us out of His love for us. I also felt called to humble myself regarding my own salvation, trading pride and the “assurance” of OSAS for the emphasis of His constant and unfailing mercy, which I felt gets diminished when you *only* consider His sacrifice on the cross as saving, instead of it being a routine display that makes us holier as we abide in Him. I’ve gotten accused of that view “limiting” His sacrifice or doubting its power. But in reality I feel the Protestant view is more doubtful in that it limits His forgiveness after we believe. They say, “really? that discounts you from salvation? you mess up and you’re damned again?” instead of “wow, God is just but also incredibly loving and merciful, his forgiveness has no bounds!” What is *forgiveness* after we have believed and sinned even for if not a continuous act of salvation and love?

The first millenium church didn't function like the catholic church of today, it was conciliar. Rome did have primacy, but not supremacy like it claims, the papacy even used forged documents as evidence for increasing its own power in the middle ages. Your own saints like John Newman admit the development. This is why in my opinion the orthodox church is the rightful continuation of the church. Before vatican I it was better, and there could have been reunification, but V-I dogmatized papal supremacy and theres really no hope now.

    @@adrummingdog2782 What do ypu even mean by primacy? It is just a different word you use so you don't aknowledge supremacy. When there was some problem and it couldn't be sorted out normally bishop of Rome was always the one who cleared it out. So people knew he had the final say and that his word was the strongest and final one. And yes just like councils pope can speak infallibily when ex cathedra because the power of Holy Ghost suspends him from error when he is speaking ex Cathedra. But this was only used one time with Immaculate conception of Mary so there were no abuses as Orthodox would want to point out. As for appointing bishops it is not a doctrine but just a practice intended to suppress heresis. But this can be changed. For example Eastern Catholics chose their own bishops. Pope only rejects those among valid candidates who might be heretics. Same thing could be aplied to the whole church again. And yes you have to be in comunion with Catholic Church to receive salvation. But the Church also teachea that those who by no fault of their own didn't know this might be saved because God is merciful so he won't judge someone for what they didn't do unknowingly. I believe there is possibility od reunion but Catholic Church won't compromise. For example change certain doctrines or invalidate some councils just for this. I recommend you to research more so you realise that Catholoc Church is the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church which Jesus established and which existed from Apostoles and Peter as it's first leader till today.

    Has anyone ever noticed that all these Protestant/Catholic debates, to a very great extent, leave Jesus and his Word off to one side? And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit... " Matthew 28:18‭-‬19 "Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:18‭-‬20 The Lord God Almighty wants us to preach salvation to a dying universe, Light into darkness, Life into death... and debate later.

What I mean is that so many of us spend 95% of our time discussing these differences when, it would seem, according to scripture, Jesus wants us to spend 95% of our time sharing the Good News with a lost and dying humanity. These are very good men that end up spending their entire lives discussing and arguing about doctrines and traditions when Jesus specifically commands us to be his ambassadors in sharing the Gospel, i.e, Himself. Here I repeat the scripture I shared before: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

    Any person has the potential to go to hell, and any villain has the potential to go to heaven. Both depend on the forgiveness of God, and the repentance of the sinner. That being said, certain miracles are attributed to Saint Teresa’s intervention after her death, and the church has declared that she is a saint, AKA she is in heaven.
