Priest Debunks Common Catholic Myths

Chances are, you've run into people who don't understand or don't agree with the Catholic Church. Here are a few questions that I get asked on a regular basis, and how to answer them succinctly:
Catholics aren’t Christians
Catholics also worship Mary and the saints
Catholic Church has loads of money
Catholics believe that only Catholics will go to heaven
If you die of suicide, you are immediately condemned to hell
The Catholic Church forbids divorce
Catholics believe that being gay is a sin
Catholic teachings aren’t found in the Bible
Catholics believe that justification comes through faith and works
The Catholic Church is predatory and an unsafe place for children
Pedophilia problem
The Church is against science
The Pope is infallible
The Church is a fading institution

    My Mom was raised Catholic. When she was a lot younger and before she had kids, she asked her priest or a fellow Catholic (can't recall) if they were Christian. They answered "No, I am Catholic". So, it seems to have also started in the Catholic community at one point. Her priest said a lot of weird things, though, like people who don't attend church on Sunday will go to Hell; when she asked about those in the countryside who can't make it to church, as it's too far away, he didn't have an answer. I wasn't raised on any particular church, but I consider myself a Christian as I believe in Jesus as my Savior and try to follow His example.

If you can not go daily to His Holy Sacrifice, read the Scripture readings each day. Google "mass readings today". In 3 years, you will read the Holy Bible. More or less.

The trinity is a pagan teaching just as Sunday cross worship, easter and xmas are obviously all of pagan nature as well. Do not try to make a while different doctrine simply because of a couple of verses that are taken out of context! If the entire Bible teaches to the contrary maybe it is you that does not have understanding on this topic, and when I say you, I mean all of you that cling onto a trinity teaching even though it is not found in the scriptures. There are far too many scriptures that teach the opposite of what you are saying. You are simply following mankind on this topic. Jesus Christ himself taught us who to pray to,.. Also who did Jesus Christ pray to?? Also when He gave up the ghost, who did he cry out to?? Your trinity teaching simply does not add up! Same with the whole goofy Friday Sunday rise BS!! People try to say that Jesus is a liar when they say this!! The only sign that was giving to us all, 3 days and 3 nights,, people think they can fit that into the time period of Friday to Sunday!!! Sorry but these people don't even know simple math!! They can't count to 3!! So why would you take their teachings on what God is or isn't? Don't try to put God in a box!! God is all. God is in everything!! Jesus Christ was sent by his father to save us and to teach us. Jesus Christ now sits at the right side of the Father, God the creator of all through Jesus Christ.

One girl said so loudly at me, "You guys worship Mary" and I told her no but she wouldn't believe me, she kept saying "Yes you guys do!" I was frustrated a bit and baffled because, I'M A CATHOLIC and SHE ISN'T yet she's accusing us of things we don't do. I'm pretty sure only a Catholic would know if we worship Mary or not and the answer is NO.

For example.... According to Jer 6:20, Four things God rejects: 1. Incense from Sheba in south Arabia 2. Sweet cane from a far country 3. Burnt offerings of all kinds 4. Sacrifices ALSO Matthew 5:17 STATES It is no longer necessary to burn incense to approach God, as we read in Hebrews 9:11-14 as well. We should not be lighting up incense in church but every Catholic Church seems to practice this...

    I fully understand that my Christian tradition (Lutheranism) was formed as a protest to what Martin Luther didn't agree with in the Catholic church. Like Henry the Eighth, Gustav I Vasa of Sweden had been raised Catholic, but turned to Protestantism for reasons that had more to do with secular politics of the day, than a spiritual need for religious reform. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I agree with you Alejandro, because I know enough about the history of my church (and about the secular history that happened at the same time) to see the absurdity of saying that Catholics aren't Christians.

    laulutar Martin Luther taught for some time that when you die, you are not existing, no pain, no pleasure, but as in sleep, like how Jesus described Lazarus’ condition prior to resurrecting him back to life. The word Catholic means universal faith, it is an interfaith designed by the Romans to unite their citizens. One non Christian teaching is the immortal soul. Jesus was a Jew, and prior to the Greek introduction of the idea around 300 bce, Jews did not believe in an immortal soul. Martin Luther knew this ( so did William Tyndale) . “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4. Not a protest, rather a reformation to try and reverse that which was altered.

    The Bible says that taking away the life God gave you sends one to hell. This should not be about feel good Christianity but, about the truth of the Bible. With Jesus there are no half measures! With suicide one does not murder another human being but, kills oneself. For a temporary problem causes an eternal place of condemnation: hell. It’s not worth it! Love thyself and make sure you get in the right place! ❤️🙏💐

    I always knew that the whole "suicide is directly to hell" was B.S. before I even did research. I mean, why would God make someone who had something like a chemical imbalance from birth, which makes them more likely to commit suicide, and then make that a very bad sin?

    Suicide is NOT DESIRING Christ Most and ONLY. As in Heaven, done on Earth. Other matters related to health too. Taking chances that are dangerous, are NEVER of God. Unhealthy choices with the body, too. There are NO vacations on Earth. No Retirements, either. In Heaven they ONLY do the WILL of the Father. Our Lord's prayer. Not defined a vacation or a retirement, EVER. 'Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?" ' [Luke 9:23-25] ''Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough." ' [Luke 13:23-24] How do you define yourself, the 'few' and not the 'many'? Who told you? Christ or a human. If Christ, how did you discern that spirit that told you??

    My Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ, please read, the church has decieved you. Here's proof from the Holy Word of God. The Bible speaks for itself- "You shall not make for yourself ANY image of ANY likeness of ANYTHING that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (Jesus, Mary, and saints are in heaven, therefore statues and images of these are forbidden) Again in Deuteronomy 4- " since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Mount Sinai, be careful that you do not act corruptly and make an image for yourselves of ANY form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female, of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air, or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below." Also saints and Mary can't intercede for you or be a mediator. The Bibles clear- "there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5 And again Jesus said- " I am the way, the truth, and the life, noone comes to the father except through me" Calling the Pope holy Father is blasphemy. Read the word of God here, where Jesus is talking about the priests of his day, and how people called them father.- "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven' Matthew 23:9 (He's not talking about blood father's he's talking about priests taking the title of father" I can keep going on and on. I know Catholics are Christians who love God. But the Vatican is a wicked, antichrist system of deception, Paul warned about this in the bible

The problem is in the fact that by your movie and music industry some very harmful influences of your way of thinking have come even to the Europe. What am I talking about? For example, if you are Christian and your denomination developed out of Catholic Church and you didn't took your time to do some research about Catholic Church (as it is, not as your media shows it), that's just poor and lazy... And that is the core problem of american way of thinking... It's the lazy way of thinking. Do you need any evidences? I'm now, as a usual Croatian guy talking to you in English... I could do it as well in German and partially in French, Albanian, or very poor Italian... And if i continue this text in Croatian, you wouldn't understand a word of language of nation that had forbidden slavery hundreds of years before Christophor Columbus was born.

In reality, early Christians couldn't cook food on the Sabbath, when they were at the synagogue, and they would often gather in their homes the next day (and every other day)! So they would probably take communion then, too. And pagan holidays were often assigned other meanings by Christians in PROTEST, or because they did some math and concluded an event in the Bible happened on a certain date. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

    My wife and I both attended ACT's retreats the last year or so. It has opened my heart tremendously, and gave me a love for Christ through my Catholic faith that I could have never imagined. I see my Church in a whole new light. The fact that I am even watching a video like this is a huge deal. The retreat is open to all denominations. Since ACT's has started in my area, we have had many protestant attendants either convert or drop their prejudges towards Catholics. The best thing is the impact of this retreat has never gone away for me. I have been to retreats and special functions of differing faiths my whole life. They either never had any impact or the lessons were lost in short order. There is something special about ACTS, and I encourage all to attend. It is not what you think. It changes people.

    VinBe show me where the word purgatory or pope is the bible. And god specifically said you can’t have statues of anything in heaven or hell. And you take the parable of the last supper literally do you know realize this was only a physical parable? Jesus always spoke in parables and this was a parable. And you Catholics take it literally and think the wine and bread can save you. The the wine of his blood actually means his cup of suffering and endurance in the name of Jesus. And the bread is his word. Jesus was the word mad flesh. And he said he was the bread of life. His words and he are the bread of life he really meant. And you confess your sins to the priest and call the priest father but the only man you should call father is god not a man. The man cannot forgive your sins for he is not Jesus. And you can’t rely on him for your forgiveness. You have to build a relationship with him. You can’t do that when you make the priest pray to Jesus for you. The devil has deceived you. Repent and follow Jesus words properly.

I’m so happy you addressed this and how important mental health is! All churches need to talk about it a LOT more!!!

    It's not just mental health, its also with personal problems like school bullying, tragedies such as losing the last of loved ones or veterans who saw to much horrors but don't have PTSD they just "stably" remember and its too horrible either way. U lost everything and r left with nothing on the streets etc. etc. I have never believed that suicide is a one-way trip to Hell, God ALWAYS looks into the reasons behind it all or else it's just the act itself, and THATS a human problem that we need to fix.

    The reason it was believed was that taking your own life is against the fifth command as it is murder. However A. Yes, suicide is technically a "sin" because it is murder, however that doesn't mean you will go to hell. God knows you and your life, he will not send you to hell for committing your own life when he knows the reasons behind it. Nobody commits suicide because they want to, they commit to ending their pain, that is something I believe God will never hold against you.

However, I remember her telling us stories about how she would get into a lot of trouble for speaking out against other catholic nuns from within her own organization and others about frivolous spending. They practically threw her out once because she spoke out against them remodeling the nuns rooms with new and expensive furnishings, phones in every room etc. She was a real firecracker lol she taught kids everything from math, swimming and she even let kids practice boxing.

    The whole basis of the damnable Catholic teaching on asking Mary to pray for us is that she is very precious to God. No one has special privileges with God. Catholics believe that Jesus was some mamas boy. Whatever Mary wants , Mary gets. Its honestly disgusting , even lutherans as well with catholics believe that God could not come to earth incarnate without obtaining Mary's permission first. That is complete BLASPHMEY! It is honestly interesting that the "blessed virgin" of Catholicism is also call the "Queen of Heaven" by the Catholic Church itself ? Jesus said , "Ye worship ye know not what..." (John 4:22). Catholics have no clue or idea who they are worshipping, they claim to worship "God" , while idolizing Mary in every shape and form. Mary is literally praised over 2,226 words in the rosary and how many times do y'all do the rosary? Thats straight BLASPHEMY ! God clearly said "He would NOT share his glory with another...." Isaiah 42:8 Catholic priest are spiritual frauds, all of them. It is so gross their theological negligence for both Lutheran minister and Catholic priest to claim the power to absolve someone else's sins. They can't even forgive their own sins. Religion wants to keep us in a box, but the Lord wants us to open our eyes. Satan uses religion , the lies from all around the world to blind people from the glorious gospel ( 2 Cor 4:3-4). I truly pray that you won't continue to be one of satans victims, I pray that nobody will truly. I don't write these things, I do not go out and street evangelize these things to be hateful or unkind, God knows that. I have no hatred in my heart, God knows. Life is just too short to live with hatred. However, I hate evil, which is what we are commanded to do as a Christian, (Psalms 97:10), "Ye that love the LORD, hate evil; : he preserverth the souls of his saint; he delivered them out of the hand of the wicked." May God bless you and open yours and everyone else's eyes to the truth, Amen.

The Bible speaks for itself- "You shall not make for yourself ANY image of ANY likeness of ANYTHING that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (Jesus, Mary, and saints are in heaven, therefore statues and images of these are forbidden) Again in Deuteronomy 4- " since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Mount Sinai, be careful that you do not act corruptly and make an image for yourselves of ANY form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female, of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air, or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below." Also saints and Mary can't intercede for you or be a mediator. The Bibles clear- "there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5 And again Jesus said- " I am the way, the truth, and the life, noone comes to the father except through me" Calling the Pope holy Father is blasphemy. Read the word of God here, where Jesus is talking about the priests of his day, and how people called them father.- "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven' Matthew 23:9 (He's not talking about blood father's he's talking about priests taking the title of father" I can keep going on and on.

I think that it was really well put when you talked about how you don’t really know who will be saved, only God does . I think God calls each of us to know him in a way that we can understand, so when I see rich evangelical pastors here in the US that didn’t even go to seminary tell me I’m going to hell, I know that they are not speaking for God but rather themselves.

None OTHERS. The Holy Bible gives no authority to anyone, but to LIVE it! Only the Roman Catholic Church established the HOLY BOOKS. No other source. Who gave you authority to speak. Better be HIM.

    True love is telling the truth to your neighbour so they can be saved and have eternal life. So I tell you the truth, Roman Catholic is man made religion. They worship statues and man made idols of saints.. which is forbidden in the bible..in the second commandment of mosses. (Exodus 20:4)Idol worship is a sin!! It is written in the bible not to communicate or talk to the dead.(the dead saint)(Deuteronomy 18:10-12) they are dead and they can not hear your prayers!! True Christians follows JESUS CHRIST directly and not any man made religion!! It is said in the scripture,"my people parish becouse of lack of knowledge". I request you and bag you.. please read what the Bible says for yourself and do your research. If I am wrong please correct me.....!!

    Akhrie-o Kire Jesus didn’t leave us the Bible. He left us the church. The church that he built on Simon Peter, our first Pope. Through apostolic succession we have had many more Popes but still the exact same church. You quote scripture and pretend that Catholics aren’t the ones who put the Bible together. Pretend that the Bible isn’t named after a Catholic saint. The Catholic Church is the one true church. The Church that Christ built. Don’t speak of man made churches and forget to mention the 7,000 different Protestant denominations that can’t seem to agree on anything due to the fact that it was a man who started their religion. The Catholic Church was started by Christ himself. The rest of the thousands of Protestant sects were created by Martin Luther 1500 years later. The same Martin Luther who was a catholic priest before Satan poisoned his mind and he ran off and married a catholic nun.

    As a Biology professor at a Catholic university associated with the Benedictine Order, I can testify from experience that the Catholic Church is very supportive of science - evolution, Big Bang cosmology, etc. In fact, Catholicism has become perhaps the most pro-science Christian denomination. In 2009, I participated in an international conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome on the topic of the church and science, especially evolution and the Church. We had discussions and presentations from Cardinals, priests, theologians, psychologists, and scientists on this issue. The Church affirms the validity of all science. A funny incident based on misunderstanding: I once mentioned that I teach evolution at a Catholic university and the person almost whispered, "Do they know about it?" I laughed. I was assigned to teach an evolution course which fully embraces the discoveries of science. Even the Pontifical Academy of Science has strongly endorsed evolution. It is a misunderstanding to say that science and good religion are at odds. I am very proud of my church.
