I am Catholic and I agree with the understanding of first among the equals, however the Orthodox Church doesn't fully follow it too. Instead of a Pope it has lots of Patriarchs. And while I understand that Patriarch is a historial function, Pentarchy would be enough with all the bishops being able to consecrate own oils and decide for their diocese. For more important decisions we have synods and Councils. And if you need to assemble bishops from one country, just make a voluntary conference, not make them subordinates of one of them.

The Eastern and Western Churches can easily be reconciled. We Catholics will not impose any of the Papal dogmas that developed after the split and Orthodox Churches need to accept the reality of the Filioque. It is Biblical and the only reason they do not accept it is because of complicated politics relating to the first issue of Papal authority and primacy or lack thereof. I'd say the Orthodox try to overplay the difference between our Churches when in reality it was only a difference in hierarchy that made us go different ways. I think the way to go is to recognise our differences and have both Churches unite under a communion of beliefs, not authority.

Joseph Millraney AND now, I would that ye should understand that after the apostles of the Lord had been killed, and the Gentiles had set up many different churches among them; and many of them claiming to be the true church of Christ; yea, even after these things had been done, those that were the true saints of God were cast out of the churches of the rich, even by those men who were rich and powerful and who had set themselves up as leaders of the people who had the authority of God, which they believed that their leaders had received by the laying on of hands from the direct line of Priesthood which was given unto Peter, James, and John by the Lord. 2 And the true saints of God, who were His elect, were persecuted and slain by the hands of the Romans and by the consent of those leaders of the Christian faith who had made alliances with the Romans and the other governments of the earth. 5 But the churches began to become corrupt and follow not the gospel of Christ, but follow the counsels of men, who had set themselves up above the people as the mouthpieces of God, even those who were the bishops and evangelists, and the elders of the churches. 6 For these men thought that they were given special authority over the children of men to counsel with them and give unto them the revelations of God as they received them from Him. 14 Nevertheless, the people began to listen more to the words of their leaders, who had been ordained to the Priesthood of God, but who had been denied the power thereof because of their wickedness. 15 And their wickedness was in their examples; for they taught the words of Christ, yet they sought for the things of the world and the honor and praise of men, thus offending the Spirit of God, who would give the power to act in the name of God unto them, if they were like unto Christ in all things. 22 But as the church corrupted itself, these leaders began to cast out all those who questioned their authority, or who committed a sin according to their own commandments, which were the commandments and precepts of men. 23 And it came to pass that because the church began to embrace the world and teach for commandments the doctrines of men, Satan began to reward the church and its leaders and give unto them the prosperity and power that he giveth unto all those who follow him. 24 And in not too many years, the church became rich and powerful. And when Satan saw that he now had complete control over the church, he left the governments of men that he had set up to control the hearts and desires of the children of men, and gave his power and attention to the church, which became great and powerful, even a world-wide church, which being interpreted is Catholic.

Are you saying you know better than St Peter and the Apostles.

Yeah, and here's the problem. The patriatch of Constantinopole wanted to be regarded as the 'second, right after the Pope', later the Pope wanted more power... And due to this greed from both sides the Church divided. In fact, there was no problem as long as all bishops were treated equal, just with having one that was 'first among the equal'. Saint Peter was one of the Apostoles, yet he never claimed to be better than the others. He didn't appoint them, it was Jesus who did. And now we land in the modern times, with both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church having a problem with this authority. In our western Church we have one Pope, so bishops can have a bit more power, but they are still appointed. In the eastern Orthodox Church there are autocephalous patriarchs and the bishops can't even consecrate the oils... I mean come on, the Orthodoxes claimed to defend their independence and the rule that the Pope is first among the equal... What we all forget about is that the Pope, the patriarchs, the bishops, all of them have received the same sacrament, the same orders. None of them received any higher ones than the others. And I know, there is a risk of heresy if we don't control everyone, but there is a pretty simple way to resolve it. If all bishops felt equal, then eastern and western bishops wouldn't have any problem with assembling on a Council together. And the Council could actually decide what's right and what's wrong. And from a practical point of view. The archbishop of my diocese originally worked in a diocese a few hundred of kilometers south to me. Then he was a bishop of the diocese a few hundred kilometers north to my diocese. So basically the Pope can appoint someone we have never heard about. Wish we could still participate in the decisions in a normal way...

*Fabricated list of popes* Exodus From Rome Volume 1: A Biblical and Historical Critique of Roman Catholicism *Mercati’s research confirmed just how inaccurate it was. His results were the following: - Six Popes had to be dropped: one (Donus II) never existed; - two (the supposed third and fifth Popes Cletus and Anacletus) were the same man. - But three new Popes had been found: Boniface VI (for a few days in 896), and possibly, Discorus (for 22 days in 530) and Leo VIII (from 963 to 965). - In the case of no fewer than 74 Popes, changes had to be made in such matters as their names and dates. - Thirty-seven antiPopes are listed, the first of whom-Hippolytus of the 3rd century-is still considered a saint. From four legitimate pontiffs the designation of sainthood was removed. - Because of sketchy records and the questionable validity of some papal elections, Pius XII will probably never know whether he is the 256th successor to St. Peter or the 260th-or someone in between.* *90It is clear that the Vatican, over the course of centuries, has produced fabricated lists of Popes to support their illegitimate claim for an unbroken chain of papal successors from Peter to the current Pope, but in so doing have admittedly altered, removed, added, and in some cases, invented Popes to give this appearance of uninterrupted historical continuity.* *The Vatican has not produced such a list that has stood the test of time and therefore the claims of apostolic succession it makes for the papacy are historically invalidated, fraudulent, and partially fictional. Not only is this proven from the “historical” list that has repeatedly been amended and altered, but the method and manner by which some of these Popes were actually selected only reinforces the obvious truth that the Roman Catholic teaching of apostolic succession is quite simply bogus.* *In the tenth century, Rome and the papacy had become so corrupted and rife with sexual immorality that this period of papal history has been graphically labeled by the Roman Catholic Cardinal Cesare Baronius as “the Papal Pornocracy.”* *91 During that horrendous period, several Popes were actually elected by mistresses, prostitutes, and paramours of the Popes themselves! The most notorious was the whorish mother-daughter combination of Theodora and Marozia who were mistresses to the Popes. These two women alone were directly responsible for creating and appointing nine Popes (not counting anti-pope Christopher) covering a span of thirty-five years!* *92 Indeed, Pope John XI (931-935) was the illegitimate son of Marozia and Pope Sergius III (904-911)!* To believe that during this particular era that nine of Christ’s so-called appointed Vicars, Holy Fathers, and alleged direct successors of the Apostle Peter were legitimately chosen by adulterers and fornicators, who are excluded from the kingdom of God (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Ephesians 5:5), is blasphemous to the highest degree. And these very same nine “Popes” elected by the nefarious duo of Theodora and Marozia still remain on the Vatican’s official list of legitimate Popes today! These Popes cannot possibly be genuine successors on this basis alone-there is certainly no biblical warrant here, and duly constituted authorities ordained by the Word of God did not elect them either.Another glaring hole in the chain of Rome’s apostolic succession occurred with the Great Western Schism (1378-1417) when there were three Popes at one time vying for the Chair of Saint Peter. The problem began when the Catholic Cardinals elected Pope Urban VI (1378-1389). Urban ruled with a heavy hand. His constant violent outbursts peppered with degrading insults of the Roman Curia quickly convinced the same body of Cardinals, who had elected him, to quickly depose him and elect Clement

The Pope appoints bishops, archbishops, and cardinals, and he can discipline those who stray from church teaching. Even back in the day, the Pope didn't micromanage dioceses. Moreover when the bishops want to introduce new translations of the missal, they ultimately have to be approved by Rome. This presentation was overly simplistic as to the relationship between the pope and bishops even in today's post Vatican II world. For those who have little or no understand of these matters, this presentation is misleading.

William, I respect your opportunity to express yourself, but I have to disagree. Prior to Vatican II, the Pope was VERY micromanaging, requiring approval for most things and viewing the bishops are merely his middle management. I think your own comments betray you. You say that the pope can discipline the others and that new translations must go through Rome, and yet they aren't micromanaging. The fact of the matter is that neither of these two attributes were central to the pope in the first 1/2 of our history, and the Second Vatican Council has worked to move away from it. Even recently, Pope Francis has reminded the Church the the Bishops' conferences have the right to their own translations and that the Pope does not have to approve everything.

@@hinata9265 At Isaiah 22: 15-25 The LORD God is informing King David's Prime Minister, Shebna, the "master of the palace", that He is displeased that he has been using his office as Prime Minister to selfishly aggrandize / benefit himself, building monuments to himself, that God is deposing him from his office as king David's Prime Minister, and is replacing him with God's own man, Eliakim, and the symbol of the office, "the keys of the kingdom" are to be transferred to him, the keys being a sign of the ability of "the master of the palace" to "bind" and "loose" matters that pertain to king David's kingdom in the king's name with the king's own deputed authority. Jesus quotes Isaiah 22: 22 at Matthew 16: 19 regarding the "keys of the kingdom" and tells Peter that he is giving the keys to Peter. For anyone who knows anything about biblical exegesis, and the use of 'types' / archetypes from salvation history as interpretive keys it is clear Jesus is applying Isaiah 22: 15-25 to what He is doing at Matthew 16: 13-20 with St. Peter. He is appointing Simon Peter / Cephas as His personally chosen "master of the palace" / Prime Minister with full power, by virtue of being the keeper of "the keys" to "bind" and "loose" not merely things with regards to the nation of Israel in the first century AD as a vassal state to the pagan Roman empire, but rather whatever the holder of the office of St. Peter "binds on earth, shall be bound in HEAVEN", and whatever he "looses on earth, shall be loosed in HEAVEN". That is a staggering amount of authority, which the Church has traditionally understood as regarding theological teachings on the faith and morality, considering the Church teaches Jesus Christ is both fully human and fully divine.

The Church of Rome is in the Bible (the Letter to the Romans), and it was led by a presbyter that we call priests and Bishops today. Presbyter means "elder," that we Catholics translate as "Bishop." We get the word "priest" from Presbyter as well. So, logically there was a Christian community in Rome whom Paul was writing to led by a "presbyter" that is now called "priest" and "Bishop." The Presbyter or "Bishop" of the Christian Community in Rome today is the successor in that office to the one Paul was writing to in the first century. That is where the Bishop of Rome is in Scripture.

Thanks Brother for sharing video.God Bless you.⛪️.

As an Orthodox Christian it is heartening to see those in Roman Catholicism begin to drift toward the Orthodox position in terms of ecclesiology.

Thanks dear...thats very nice..good to know..God bless you.

Blind leading the blind? The history of the Church is not something to be proud of if souls are lost along the way. The most important things the Church forgot are the saving of souls and how important it is for everyone to read and meditate on God's Word in the whole Bible daily, and not just a few verses. God spoke from Genesis to Revelations which most Catholics are not familiar with, because they were not encouraged to own one. We cannot ignore the content of the rest of the Bible and base our faith from only a few verses. That would be a willful disobedience to God's Commandments and His plans for all mankinds. Jesus had already fulfilled the law. We should now worship Him in truth and in Spirit. 🤔

Hi. This is an exploration question... please do not take offence. I am struggling with how one makes a jump to Peter being a leader (and in fact he was one a key leader for some of the time, giving way to others) to the papacy and all that that entails. You see, the early church actually shunned the bishop of Rome's teachings... in fact, their own church councils didn't like at all what was happening. The main issue I have with the papacy is the historical picture of it... it's torrid and darn right awful. Very, very few of the popes have done anything which even remotely is Christian. From mass murder to utter pervesions. It's hideous. So, in my research into scripture and history, I am struck at how bad the papacy comes across. Then we have the current Vatican and the darn awfulness that's going on there. It's a travesty. So, I'm stuck looking at a church that through history has mudered over 50,000,000 people, went against the early church (the Reformation split was something that was happening from the year 90 AD and continued... in the end Roman Catholic Priests actually rebelled, enough was enough). So, its just a horrible mess. As for Jesus not referring to Peter... if one wishes to twist this teaching and create a papacy from this, then one is going directly against that which the Bible teaches... it's not just. matter of grammar.

Prabhas Ekka AND now, I would that ye should understand that after the apostles of the Lord had been killed, and the Gentiles had set up many different churches among them; and many of them claiming to be the true church of Christ; yea, even after these things had been done, those that were the true saints of God were cast out of the churches of the rich, even by those men who were rich and powerful and who had set themselves up as leaders of the people who had the authority of God, which they believed that their leaders had received by the laying on of hands from the direct line of Priesthood which was given unto Peter, James, and John by the Lord. 2 And the true saints of God, who were His elect, were persecuted and slain by the hands of the Romans and by the consent of those leaders of the Christian faith who had made alliances with the Romans and the other governments of the earth. 5 But the churches began to become corrupt and follow not the gospel of Christ, but follow the counsels of men, who had set themselves up above the people as the mouthpieces of God, even those who were the bishops and evangelists, and the elders of the churches. 6 For these men thought that they were given special authority over the children of men to counsel with them and give unto them the revelations of God as they received them from Him. 14 Nevertheless, the people began to listen more to the words of their leaders, who had been ordained to the Priesthood of God, but who had been denied the power thereof because of their wickedness. 15 And their wickedness was in their examples; for they taught the words of Christ, yet they sought for the things of the world and the honor and praise of men, thus offending the Spirit of God, who would give the power to act in the name of God unto them, if they were like unto Christ in all things. 22 But as the church corrupted itself, these leaders began to cast out all those who questioned their authority, or who committed a sin according to their own commandments, which were the commandments and precepts of men. 23 And it came to pass that because the church began to embrace the world and teach for commandments the doctrines of men, Satan began to reward the church and its leaders and give unto them the prosperity and power that he giveth unto all those who follow him. 24 And in not too many years, the church became rich and powerful. And when Satan saw that he now had complete control over the church, he left the governments of men that he had set up to control the hearts and desires of the children of men, and gave his power and attention to the church, which became great and powerful, even a world-wide church, which being interpreted is Catholic.

I'll leave this comment as a response to this video for those who still doubt about the origins of the papacy in the hopes that you will find your own correct answer as opposed to taking his or my word as the truth. Leaving aside the rise of the papacy and the Roman Catholic church as we know it today, ask yourself the following. How does the papacy and the church reflect in history? is this church truly still the one true church of God? Are we taking Peters message about the false prophets into consideration? Are we not naïve to take the church word for everything without questioning it? Digging up on the Papacy' history we can clearly see numerous occasions when they did things that does not sound like anything Jesus would do or what God has propagated before in the Torah. For example the part where you could buy indulgence for you sins. And how the pope was used a political figure to gain strategic advantages such as his power to excommunicate central figures for the the advantage for another. I won't list everything. It's up to you to decide if they are in the wrong or not. Better yet. Do more research on the Protestant Reformation. Not that I am trying to push you to convert in that direction either. Simply for enlightenment. There is a reason why the pope is called the pope. You would be pleasantly surprised what the full term of that name means and even more about it's origins. But I'll leave you to that. I think I have left you with sufficient leads to open up on your own.

Is the pope mentioned in any of those 1st or 2nd century letters?

I appreciate that as a Catholic, you admit that the specifics of the Papacy we see today seem absent from early church history. You go on to say that these things took time to develop in the church. My challenge to you is, if they took time to develop, how is that to be distinguished from the church making them up? You also admit that the earliest shift in the papacy is in the 4th century (during Constantine’s reign and much political/religious change) If the dogmas and doctrines of the papacy took time to develop and are absent from the early church, and are also absent from scripture (for example, when Paul lays out the structure of the church, he never mentions the Bishop of Rome as a Pope or what that means as far as his role), then how do you justify the doctrines and dogmas of the Magisterium as being from Christ Himself, as opposed to created later on?

Archbishop Graham, a convert to Catholicism , wrote a book "Who gave us the Bible" wrote that in 397 there was a Church Council of Hippo, through the influence of St Augustine included the 4 Gospels into Canon, the same time which the Holy Father commissioned St. Jerome a priest from Jerusalem to translate the Scriptures into the Latin vulgate

Stephen Byrnes Youre right that the Bible did take time to be compiled into one volume, but the scriptures we have today were already in existence, and the churches did reject countless false gospels. But we all have the same New Testament today, and no where in the text do we have any information about the Magisterium, as well as countless other Catholic doctrines and dogmas. None of the other early historical writings of “church fathers” have any detailed explanation of the Roman system. Such a system did not develop until the 4th century when Constantine made Christianity the national religion. This is when pagan practices began to creep into the Catholic Church, as Constantine made an effort to unify the people under a religion compatible with everyone to ease religious division and create some kind of peace. The issue is that the Church became a political figure over time, and thus, became very corrupt. My point is that if we don’t see evidence of any of these dogmas and doctrines in even the earliest Church writings (let alone the New Testament we all have now), how can we justify the belief that they are from Christ? Whenever I ask my Catholic friends why they believe they attend the “true Church”, they tell me that the early church was doing the same things they’re doing now, but I don’t see any evidence of that

Stephen Byrnes id also add that though the canon took time to be developed, we do have a lot of evidence suggesting that 2nd century Christians believed the writings of the apostles to be scripture (if you look at Polycarp, Justin Martyr etc.). That was one of the main reasons they made the canon, was because they were the teachings of the apostles themselves. If there were teachings about the Magisterium etc, wouldn’t they have made the canon? I’m frankly surprised there aren’t any New Testament additives that include such details for the sake of establishing the Catholic Church as a political authority. (Maybe this is why they kept the Bible in Latin later on, so that no one would know...)

Stephen Byrnes The 4th century was actually the 300s. This was when Constantine established “Christianity” as the religion of the Roman Empire. As far as the early church, there were many churches, hence the letters to Ephesus by Paul (and the people you mentioned), as well as Corinth, Rome, Galatia etc. Even in these first churches, false teachings arose. Paul warned against false teachers in his letters numerous times. Additionally, in Acts 20, he says “Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them” (verse 30) Even in the first churches, there were people teaching false information. This idea that there was ever “one church” is just false. Of course, there is one ultimate Church, the body of believers. But clearly, false teaching was present even in the early days. This is why I don’t understand this narrative that there was this earthly Church instituted by Christ, this “True Church” that I keep hearing Catholics speak of. Rome was just like any other earthly body of believers in the early years of Christianity. By God’s grace, it started as a healthy Church, at least when Paul wrote to the Romans, but why do people insist that the “True Church” came from Rome?

People would do well to read verses before and after those referred to. Peter said You are the Christ, the son of the living God.

Such a blessing cannot be forced on someone. If he wants to be a priest then Godspeed to him, but if not, and it is forced, he will forever look upon the Church odiously.

The fall of all four Eastern Orthodox patriarchates (Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem....which are now all Muslim) within 400 years after the Great Schism is an excellent argument for the Catholic church

Inasmuch as l would like to see Roman Catholics and Orthodox unite, there will be no unity without agreement on non-negotiable dogmas. In the meantime l think we should all strive for doctrinal clarity, integrity, and understanding. Forget the possibility of agreement, for now.

There was a leader in the 1st Century Church. James "the Just" - the real life, flesh and blood brother of Jesus took over leadership of the Jerusalem Church in the first three decades following the crucifixion. Jesus led the movement for 3 years; James led it for 30 years. Also, the Church in Rome traces their Apostolic roots back to Peter. However there was already a church in Rome before Peter travelled to Rome.

That's not completely true in historical interpretation. The Pope is not just a Bishop as any other, his office is unique and Primacy is afforded him in Loyalty deserving to that office; and him alone. The Pope is not like a Bishop in Chicago, New York or Timbuktu. That is all other Catholic clerics and even Bishops are bound to obedience to his office and to accept his Legitimate authority in being the Shepherd of Gods Shepherds. Hence at the Papal election and behalf of all their bishops and people the Cardinals offer fidelity and loyalty for the sake of concord in the Church and for the salvation of souls. The Pope works with this Magisterium, the bishops in unity and unison It is not permitted hereafter to scandalize Mother Church by opening direct conflict with the Papal Authority which alas some bishops of dubious service have and continue to inflict upon Mother Church even today! We note also the warning from Akita in the suffering of The Pope is warned and the betrayal of Catholic Bishops that are like Judas in turning traitor to the Holy Father! The Office or seat of Peter within the Roman Church holds authority even over the desire or expectations of the individual thus we encounter Obedience to this Primary Position which since Peter has held sway within the church both on earth and in Heaven. That is that a Legitimate Pontiff is appointed by the Holy Spirit and is competent and worthy of both respect for the office which is greater than all other including the Eastern Patriarchs Offices. Furthermore it is incumbent upon all Catholics. . .and properly all Christians to Love their pope and pray for him and his office to both protect and guide the Universal Church and this grace is not given to any other Cleric no matter their title or imagination! Hence in the Communion of Saints we see absolute devotion to this Office even when the holder or "sitter" seemed abusive of their exalted position. The video implies that the Popes are some kind of Bishop with ancient though no longer absolute specialty before the world or God? Such opinion is incorrect and sails too near heretical error.

@@BreakingInTheHabit No .. .I said. . that the video "IMPLIES" that a Pope and his authority is no more than a local Bishop? That is for example in Chicago? That is not the case. The Pope whilst he is Bishop of Rome is also the Supreme Governmental administrator and more importantly the Leader of the Universal Catholic Church on earth. That means ALL Catholic Bishops elsewhere are subject to his Authority. Basically the pope as you know has two proper job descriptions. . firstly to receive and pass down Catholic Truths and secondly to hold concordia and unite the Church. If however a cleric . .suggest that well that's a historical nicety that holds no weight in the modern church. . and the pope is actually just one bishop among others all holding equal authority .. .that is not correct. My reading of the video was that you seemed to suggest this in part or at least to me implied that for example a Bishop in Los Angeles etc has equality with the Pontiff in Rome? Yet in the Universal Church this is not so and has never been the case. Local Bishops or cardinals only have domain within a diocese but The Pope remains unique and has universal and global authority. John Paul the Second used this to great effect and often to the surprise of local clergy. The Mission of the pontiff is thereby global and whilst he remains a Bishop in Rome his authority far outstrips any other cleric. Obviously I am not a Franciscan and it is not my place to wave a finger in your face or anybody elses. If you have taken offence I am sorry for that. But in view of much recent underhand criticism against Pope Francis - sadly especially from America - my reaction and warning of Papal authority regardless of assumption will stand. No person, especially a cleric may voice public criticism of the papal authority its use or what they perceive misuse. With enough scandal about, it would be a grave error to scandalize Mother Church and leave it ridiculed from within its own ranks.

@@jeffrygagnon5506 Your Theology is interesting but Jeffry, it lacks gravity. Firstly - there are people like Enoch and Elijah in the OT whom go directly into Heaven; but lets leave that for another day. . . In the NT debate, Jesus is Incarnate Man and goes into Heaven (even as his Godhead returns there) but more pertinently Jesus promises The Good Thief beside him on the Cross that he will be in Heaven ... One presumes Our Lord was not hallucinating this promised remark? Again we have Johns Gospel and the Reading of the Last Supper in all the Gospels. If we examine the language of Jesus then we can conclude that where Jesus is? (Here we take again the leap of Christian faith) there they are too?? Lastly as Catholics we believe in the Tradition of Mother Church. I appreciate that for some Christian Protestants that seem only to recognize their individualistic version of their own depleted Bible and Scripture fail to appreciate either History or Culture but as Catholics we assert the Authority of Tradition as equal to Holy Writ. This means that if you ever visit Rome? Inside written on the Dome collar of St Peter's Basilica you will see the promise of Jesus to Peter; YOU ARE PETER AND UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH. The Catholic Church retains thereby and Scripture will confirm (please excuse me for not writing it out here but time and space restrict etc) that Catholics understand that Authority is given to St Peter which is special. In effect that alone the RCC continues to teach and direct and profess what is true and undivided. In this way, Catholics also believe (and in confirmation of Tradition rather than Scripture akin to the doctrine of The Trinity) that Mary the Madonna was assumed body and Spirit into Glory in Heaven. So I am afraid that Scripture shows several people whom are in Heaven or we may accept so as this is handed down to us. Of course we are free?? (that is another theological debate and I would assert we are not free to divorce this reality but for argument sake I confirm here we are free) free to not believe the RCC tradition or anything. We are free to invent our own personal understanding of Scriptures regardless of any intellectual or historical interpretation .. we are free to believe what we want .. but that all lacks grace and true faith. We are poorer for that pride and more distant from the truth of Scripture if we choose it. Secondly on your second statement about all religions promoted a good life would result in going to heaven . .this is again inaccurate! Your knowledge of Ancient religion seems to be based on a Hollywood interpretation of Dan Brown-like ignorance? Lacking Intellectual scholarship which would enlighten your argument thus: Pagan religions generally through out the ancient world were founded on Exclusivity. They depended upon sacrificial or selective devotion paid usually to appease some local deity often manifest in nature or in temple identity. I should confirm that Historically the Church has no problem with pre-christian devotions and St Paul confirmed that God allowed it because ignorance breeds ignorance. Nonetheless, after the Revelation of Christianity, the continued stumbling into Paganism is no more than idolatry. Jeffry, your final observation paragraph is filled with assumptions that are incorrect. It is clear that for example; at the worlds ending some people (at least two..probably more) are alive and will not require any resurrection because Time is halted . .and they shall see him coming in glory etc .. this statement is taken to assume this history of the future point. It is also the common belief in the Church that we shall enjoy at the time a Bodily resurrection although what this means seems debated still . .but a New Heaven is manifest . .in effect Scripture ends on an uplifted note . .Eden is restored, the Wicked are destroyed and the Good go into bliss with God etc. Theologically, this is enormously complicated! It presents us with more questions than we can answer and is like the opening of Genesis not as simple as we once assumed. Our understanding of Scripture is therefore open to question and when we ignore intellectual mindset, rational confines and positive faith given to us . .passed down to us by Saintly heroic men and women; shinning examples of Gods friendship even in dire conditions . . we fall into error even heresy. Yet we are given a thirst for truth and we all enjoy immortal souls, our common humanity, our ability to error but trumped by our ability to love one another. We reconfirm that : God so loved the World he sent his only Son to be our Redeemer. In the RCC we encounter a wide humanity and history and some is good, much is ignoble but even though we are sinners we maintain that Our Church lives and God is Present in it, both Sacramentally and by Wisdom. I hope Jeffry, that you find Gods mercy and your mind will open to the truth of history and the revelation of Scripture as is in the Roman Catholic Church. God Bless you +

Thank you. This is very informative.

• Part 1: Adam’s counsel to his children pertaining to our Eternal Parents 20 And now my beloved children, do ye suppose that if we were created in the image of the Gods-both male and female-that this image is only that of a man? Ye know well that there are females among us, and are not their bodies also created in the image of God? And I say unto you that they are also created in the image of God, and that God is not our Father alone, but that we also have an Eternal Mother, who is also a God. 21 And these things I have caused to be taught unto you by faith, knowing that ye have never seen the Father and the Mother of whom I speak. For they are the father and the mother of your spirits, which spirits ye also cannot see with your mortal eyes. Nevertheless, our Eternal Father and Mother are not made of spirit matter of which our spirits are made, but they have bodies of flesh and bone like unto ours. And our mortal bodies were created in the image of their eternal bodies, which are perfect. And our mortal bodies, which are imperfect, were made in the image of their bodies, but not in an exact likeness like unto our spirits. 22 For behold, our spirits are an exact likeness of our eternal parents in a similar way as your mortal bodies are a likeness of your mortal parents. And ye have beheld the body that I possess, and also the body that your mother Eve possesseth. And we were not born of mortal parents, therefore our bodies were not created in the likeness of imperfection, but were created after the pattern of the bodies of our Father and Mother in heaven. And for this reason ye have beheld that we have maintained our strength and our vitality even unto a very old age. And your mother Eve is like unto her daughters in every way, even that she hath lived many years past the deaths of many of her daughters, even those who have defiled their bodies and made them impure by those things which were forbidden unto them. 26 And Eve brought this knowledge back to my attention many times, but I would not listen to her because of my pride; yea, even the pride that a man doth feel because of the strength that he hath been given over a woman. Yet this strength that I have been given over Eve was not the strength of the spirit, which strength she hath in a greater abundance than I. And for this reason, my beloved sons, I would that ye should look unto your wives and your mothers; yea, in many instances, even unto your daughters for this spiritual strength that will keep you humble during the days of your probation here in mortality. 35 And now my beloved children, I would that ye should know that before we came to this earth, even to this part of this great universe, which expanse of space we can see with our mortal eyes; yea, even before we came to this planet upon which we now live and pass through the days of this probation, we lived on another planet with our Eternal Parents, who is the God that I have taught you to believe in all the days of my life. 36 And we were created from the materials from our Eternal Mother, having received the instructions for the creation of our spirits from our Eternal Father. And this process took place in a similar fashion like unto the conception of a child here in mortality. Nevertheless, this conception was perfect and refined according to the laws of the planet on which our Eternal Parents live. 42 And our Mothers who brought us forth from Their own bodies began to teach us these eternal laws of happiness. Yea, even from the day of our spiritual birth we were continually taught and raised by our Mothers to know this happiness. And by teaching us about this happiness, our Eternal Mothers received their own happiness. 43 And this is the work and the glory of an eternal woman who hath the power and the ability, which Her exalted body provideth, even to bring forth spiritual offspring, which are Her eternal children, which She shall know forever. 44 But the Father hath other works that He doeth, even according to the eternal laws of happiness that govern Him. For while our Eternal Mother is caring for our spirit and bringing other spirits into being, that our spirit might not be alone; yea, even as She is engaged in the desires of Her own happiness, so is our Father engaged in the performance of His labors, which labors shall provide for us the means by which we shall be able to know the happiness that our Mothers desire for us. 45 Behold, our Eternal Mothers perform the labors that are necessary for our first estate, which estate is the state in which we find ourselves as spirits in the kingdom of our Eternal Parents. But our Eternal Father performeth the labors that are necessary for our second estate, which estate is the state of the days of our probation, or the days of our mortality. 46 And because our Mothers are busy with their labors in our first estate, They do not concern Themselves with the cares and labors of our second estate. And our Father doth not concern himself with the affairs of our first estate, in which estate the labors of our Mothers are performed. For what purpose would we need a mother if it was that our father could provide for all of our needs? And again, what purpose would we need a father, if our mother could provide us with all that we need? 47 For this reason the Gods are male and female; nevertheless, they are equal in all things, having the same glory and the same power.♥️♥️♥️ Me: You know nothing about this people because you all are living on doctrines created by men.

As an Orthodox Christian I have to admit that this is the most objective and balanced presentation of this topic, I have ever heard from a Catholic apologetic. I believe that Vatican II realized that the power accumulated to the Bishop of Rome , administrative and spiritual, had become frightening for Catholics and appalling for non Catholics, and tried to return to a more balanced way of Church operation.

Can u make a video on - " When Jesus returns will all Christians (Catholics and non catholic christians) be united?

You just made the best argument for why Eastern Orthodox ecclesiology is correct

I'm not sure that I did... While, yes, this video makes a strong argument for the historical precedent of collegiality, it also makes a strong argument in favor of having a pope. That's not an Eastern Orthodox ecclesiology, but a reformed and refined Catholic ecclesiology.

Thanks for this video :), this is one of many points that I didn't have very cleary about the story of Catholicism.

Rome. The capital of the Roman Empire is where Peter and Paul went. And it's stood the test of time, unlike other ancient Christian cities that have fallen to Islam.

Not a Catholic, but it's very refreshing to see a Catholic response that actually accepts that the Papacy (as we know it today) was by no means in place in the time of Acts or in the first couple centuries after. I'm not so bold as to claim the Papacy is untrue; but I do have enough basic history to say that there was no "Papacy" in Rome in 100 AD. Regardless, great video. God bless.

That's also not what Ignatius of Antioch said in his epistles who was bishop in the time of Acts was written. He said very clearly Peter in Paul were laying the foundation in the church. Also mentioned Peter to Clement of Rome. The clearest piece of evidence is Irenaeus lists the first 12 bishops of Rome and wrote Jesus through Peter gave them authority over every church. "Against the heresies" book III, Chapter 3 written in 180 AD. Irenaeus was taught by Polycarp who was taught by John the Apostle.

@@scygnius Similar to myself and many others. Plus the oral tradition of the Catholic Church was proven correct and strong when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. It proved the oldest bible about 900 AD was exactly the writing of scripture around 200 BC. And books of the old testament had been discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls which are still in the Catholic bible today, which were books that Martin Luther and the successor protestant churches took out of the bible calling it not scriptural.

Greetings Fr Casey, good video but I'm a tad puzzled when you said in the early Church there wasn't a central authority and that the bishops of Rome didn't use the titles associated with the Pope today. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Church Fathers like Irenaeus of Lyons, Cyprian of Carthage, St Jerome and St Augustine affirm primacy of the bishop of Rome? Like it seemed that they didn't see the Pope is first among equals, emphasizing unity with the see of Rome. Although the Popes didn't use the associated titles like Vicar of Christ back then, didn't they already have significant spiritual authority bestowed upon them by the Keys of the Kingdom entrusted to St Peter? From what I understand it's only moving into the middle/medieval ages the Popes acquired political and temporal powers.

"The consent of peoples and nations keeps me in the Church; so does her authority, inaugurated by miracles, nourished by hope, enlarged by love, established by age. The succession of priests keeps me, beginning from the very seat of the Apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after His resurrection, gave it in charge to feed His sheep, down to the present episcopate. And so, lastly, does the name itself of Catholic, which, not without reason, amid so many heresies, the Church has thus retained; so that, though all heretics wish to be called Catholics, yet when a stranger asks where the Catholic Church meets, no heretic will venture to point to his own chapel or house." Saint Augustine Against the Fundamental Epistle of Manichaeus Chapter 4 / # 5

I appreciate the honesty concerning the early papacy.

The major difference between Peter and the Pope is that Peter understood that he was not equal to Jesus and that Jesus was his Lord and the only way to get to heaven. Jesus said no man comes to the Father except by me and he wasn't talking about a priest. We have One Father and that is our Heavenly Father. Peter was not a Catholic with all their Pomp and Circumstance he was a follower of Jesus Christ. The Catholic church is derived by the same type of people who killed Jesus on the cross.

I think you're misunderstanding a) how Christians approached scripture prior to the modern Protestant approach, and b) how Christians understood Jesus' founding of the Church. In neither case is it required that someone be explicitly mentioned in Scripture. Jesus gave the disciples authority to lead, not a list of instructions to follow, meaning, that when the Church faced new difficulties in the future it could grow and adapt beyond what was explicitly written in scripture.

@@BrotherTris It has everything to do with the Pope, my friend. At Matthew 16: 15-19 (specifically, Matthew 16: 19) Jesus quotes verbatim from a passage at Isaiah 22: 15-25 (specifically Isaiah 22: 22), so it would be important to know the context of Isaiah 22: 15-25 in order to understand why he would be quoting it at Matthew 16: 19. And when you look at the passage of Isaiah 22, the context becomes remarkably enlightening. Isaiah 22 has the LORD God letting king David's prime minister, the "master of the palace, being replaced and God's ordained choice to be placed in his stead. It is important to note that the prime minister is an office in the People of God of ancient Israel, an office with succession, imbued with the king's authority, the symbol of which is the "keys to the kingdom" with full authority to "bind" and "loose" in the king's name. The parallels are striking. When Jesus was to become incarnate, the archangel Gabriel told her he would inherit the throne of his forefather David of the house of Judah. At Matthew 16 Jesus is appointing Peter as His "master of the palace", His prime minister and specifically quotes Isaiah 22: 22 in reference to the sign of the office of St. Peter being the "keys to the kingdom of heaven" with full authority to "bind" things on earth that "shall be bound in HEAVEN" and "loose" things on earth, that "shall be loosed in HEAVEN". Father Casey is exactly correct in quoting Matthew 16: 18 for that is the verse which records Jesus instituting that office and claiming St. Peter is the 'rock' / office upon which He would build His church.

@@QuisutDeusmpc Hello, thanks for your reply. Are you saying every Pope has come in the spirit of Eliakim? Nothing you have said has contradicted the fact that we do not need any other mediator except the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Why does this passage make it any different, in your eyes? I know the Lord personally and have no need for your Pope in the process. Therefore, why even have this middle man?
