You name the sins but not the instances. an example is "I have lied, cheated etc. You don't name individual instances. @@strubabe

​@daxypoo sorry, is that definitely correct by the priest? Once you're sins are forgiven, they are forgiven. You shouldn't dwell on them.

@@filiusvivam4315 unfortunately a lot of protestants don't even realize that they broke off from the Catholic church or how their religion even started. And i someone argue with me that there is no proof Cathlolis are from the first church.

If you don’t like the line of clothes in a store for whatever reasons, don’t shop in that store. But don’t tell the manager to bring in an other line of clothes to suit you. Other people might like the clothes the store sells. Logical, no? Choose your own church, but don’t tell the chur to change.

@@kdz6501 Also, those same protestants can't tell you what happened after the apostles died and before King Henry VIII, King James, and Martin Luther broke away from the Church and decided what they wanted to believe. And, I seriously can't understand how Anglicans can follow the English monarch as the "pope" of their "religion." Who gave the English monarch the authority to be the head of their church? The Catholic Church doesn't claim the pope is the head of the Church. The pope is the visible head of the Church while Jesus Christ is the true head of the Church. And the pope is the Vicar of Christ. Who does the English monarch answer to?

Being a Christian and being Church member is to become Holy and most profoundly become Saint after this life.... LOVE TO BE A MEMBER OF A HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Never give up. Criticism makes us grow strong every minute and for those who criticise i pray for you to be forgiven.

IF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EUCHARIST IS ON OF THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, IT WOULD MAKE (MODERN) SENSE THAT WE EXPRESS IT IN THE CREED.

That’s true. The reason it’s not in the Creed because the creed was written in response to the heresy of the arians, which believes that Jesus was the son of God, but was not divine. The creed does NOT address EVERYTHING that Catholics believe!

I agree with you totally! It wouldn't hurt to add a bible study to everyone's week. Catechism classes Are structured for sacraments..there is so much more. I was raised in the last 60's-70's and I was never taught about the rosary until I taught myself as an adult. I don't know what I thought the rosary beads were..but I didn't know they were used to pray with! Teaching Catholic's really needs to change!

Fellow South African here. Cape Town. I used to attend St Michael's in Rondebosch, but moved so attending evening Mass at the Parish of the Resurrection. You should visit if you're in the area /city. God bless you, Naomi

Growing up, I received the child's level of the Catechism. And I thought I understood the teachings of the Church. And I abandoned the Church because I really did not understand it. I left the Church for about 20 years. At the age of 40 or 41, I began to study the adult version of the Catechism and began to see so much of what I had missed. It takes a lot of work to learn what the Church really teaches. You just must not be lazy and reach out to study the many sources of the truth. This is such a beautiful religion and we must not be swayed by heresies of protestantism.

That's a great analogy. I like it a lot, but unfortunately, there will always be people who don't know and don't want to know the truth. They'd rather just be stupid and mean, attacking our religion. I love the Catholic faith with all of its traditions. It's not like some churches I've been in where it's more like a social event, with people talking and seeing who can out fashion the other one. Plus, where there is no quiet showing quite reverence to our Father. It is a time for people to pray There is no altar with a crucifix to remind us that the Eucharist is the actual body of Christ.

Oh yes. This aspect of Filipino Catholicism is not explained properly, hence many people being led away from the Church simply because they take what Protestants say at face value.

Well said! I’m publishing a weekly KZfaq video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you.

It’s history…I learned that in the 6th grade and was fortunate to have a teacher who was a gifted storyteller.she made everything more memorable.

I had a girl friend who converted to the cath church it was very hard for her. She is more Catholic than I am who was born into it thank God. Good for you!

YOU: what really brought out my bull headed will to convert were all the hateful things I heard about the Catholic Church from my grandparents *ME: It must be nice to be part of Christianity that invites demonic pagan religions to set up their demonic female idol on Roman church property, and to allow that demonic pagan religion to perform actual demonic religious rituals on Roman church property, and had their own "Roman christian ministers" participate in the demonic religious rituals -- Amazonian Synod.* Wonder what Jesu would think about the Roman church disrespecting the property of GOD -- see John 2:14-16. Yeah, your Roman Church is the "true church of holy GOD".......

Stephen Anna Marydas Yeah. Adding to the creed really worked the first time ;)

Yes it should, but imagine the backlash we'll get, the filioque itself caused war. Not saying I'm against it, im saying if we want to do it, we must do it in a proper channel

As Jesus said “Not only who said “My Lord, My Lord” will be saved, but those who accomplish the wiill of his father, who is in Heaven, will deserve to enter his kingdom in heaven.

The creed is jesus' life story; the eucharist is the celebration of jesus' life and death which is why we recite the creed before communion.

The creed was formulated to refute the errors extant at a particular time. For a more thorough creed, find The Credo of the People of God, by Pope Paul VI.

I think it would be a good addition knowing that 70% of Catholics don’t believe in true presence. I’m not sure how licit the addition would be or the administrative process of doing it, but in the event that it is added, I would be glad. It would remind every single Catholic about the True Presence every time they recite it.

@@martinkent333, sir, you seem to be going along with the papers, not God's Will, while SOME priests do use their "power" to abuse other people, you are using this comment to imply that ALL of them use it for the same purpose. i m praying for your Soul and for all of our Souls.

Roman Catholic priests are experts in child rape and coverups. Jesus is so proud to oversee such holiness. How do you sleep at night dude? Ever met a victim?

YOU: Eucharist is where we witness miracles taking place and I've personally experienced physical healing. *ME: You contradict the Apostles/Canon. Physical healing comes from the stripes of Jesus on the cross -- 1Peter **2:24** (Isaiah 53:4-5) -- combined with our FAITH (Matthew 9:21-22,29) -- not from physically eating the leavened bread/wine.* Miracles take place because of the power of the Holy Spirit that indwells each true Christian -- John 14:10,12,16-17. Jesus made it clear that whatever you physically consume, just becomes physical shite in the toilet -- Matthew 15:17 -- if what you physically consume can not make you defiled/impure, then what you physically consume can't make you pure/connected to Jesus -- *true Believers are ONE with Jesus because we are INDWELLED by Jesus -- John 14:23, John 17:21,23 -- not because we consume the physical leavened bread and wine.*

Is your spouse still non-Catholic. Do they go ti Mass with you?

That is a lie from the snake pit. Sorry, but no true Christian worships the Bible. We are worshipping the one the Bible proclaims as our LORD. It would really help if you Catholics would stop claiming "sola Scriptura" when we show through the Scriptures that your doctrines are in error. That is one of the top 10 my list of 10 Things Christians are tired of hearing! Because we know the Scriptures are there for doctrine, reproof, correction........IT STATES AS MUCH. And if Catholics would take the time to actually read it and not have it filtered through the papacy, they might know this truth........When we see many Catholics who take a knee before statues of Mary and claim they pray to her, this is exactly why you are all accused of worship of her! Don't you get that? PRAYER is one of the HIGHEST forms of WORSHIP that there is! Not once in all the gospels (teachings of Jesus or the apostles) is anybody told to pray to Mary! NEVER! Yet, Catholics do this consistently. I am not trying to be mean. I am pointing out some FACTS that you do not seem to address!

The problem is that most protestants read the bible through their own filters as well. We point to scripture to support our beliefs and get told "no, that's not what that means!". Says who? Who's authority do you interpret scripture with? " the holy spirit ". Well everyone claims that and you get different interpretations so clearly you need some form of authority to declare what is the correct interpretation. As far as kneeling goes, if you kneel by your bed at night to say your prayers are you worshiping your bed? No. Kneeling is a physical way to lower ourselves as we enter into prayer before our Lord. Just because we kneel in front of a statue does not mean we worship it. Yes, prayer is a form of worship, but not all prayer is worship. If I pray to ask for something, that is petition, not worship. And that is all we ever do when we pray to Mary or the saints. We ask them to pray to God on our behalf. Just as I would ask you to pray for me. We do not expect Mary or the saints to provide what we ask as they can not, but they can go to God for us, and they are there with Him in heaven!

Also Noahs Arc had two figures on the Arc, two Charibs and Arons staff had a Snake, are those not simbles to.

I'm assuming "south" means southern United States, I know too well of what you speak.

Gia C so are they graven images that your mother is saying the rosary in front of on her knees ?where is the rosary in the Bible? I’m talking about the original text ,the king James ,not the Catholic Bible ,that has not only been translated but has been re-interpreted .there are many translations of the king James for example from Hebrew to English ,from Hebrew to Italian ,from Hebrew to Portuguese, from Hebrew to Japanese, that’s a translation. It is the interpretation from the king James that is incorrect. Where in the Bible do we pray to Mary? Where do we pray to any of the saints? Mary is without sin? Then why did she call Jesus her Savior? Where does saying repetitious prayer over and over forgive sin? When the pope says it is a dangerous thing to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, is this true? How many Catholic doctrines are there? why isn’t everybody in the catholic church of same mind like the Bible says we are to be? I have 1 million questions. God is not interested in the name of a people, because if you make it into hell the name will burn off ,if you make it into heaven it will drop off, the name Catholic means nothing ,just like the name Penecostal ,just like the name Baptist ,it simply states a belief ,and if it doesn’t line up with the word of God it is false. You cannot have 99% truth and 1% false .A Christian is Christ like when he has the Spirit of God in him Born again ,and he is keeping in step with the Holy Ghost, we are saved by grace through faith alone, we do good works because we are saved ,and we are called to do them, and it is the Lord himself who has created these works for us to do before the foundation of the world. A Confirmation, A retreat, cresia , saying a Vow, does not make you Christian and it does not secure your place in heaven. Why do you crucify Jesus over and over thinking that he comes down into a wafer of bread every time you have mass ,show me where that is in the word of God, that is not the Lords supper ,and many who do this unworthily because of their sinful lifestyle, die, and plunge straight to hell. The Lord does not except your incense he does not except your rituals he does not except your prayers to mary and to the Saints ,he does not except your graven images in these churches and on your front lawn, you do these things because you worship the unknown God as Paul described, meaning you do not know him ,you think that you’re doing all these things to please him and you cannot please him with any of your good works.

james wells I wish to impart things with you of things you might not have even heard of. You have a lot of questions, but first, I beg you to first let go of your prejudices against the Church. If you are truly seeking for the Truth, you should hear both sides of the story (fairly). It looks like most of your questions are recycled protestant misconceptions. It’s hard to answer every single one of your questions here. But, why don’t you start with a clean plate? Suppose, you’re searching for the One True Church of Jesus Christ today? He only wanted One Church, not many churches with opposing interpretations. Let’s get that one thing straight. Now, it only make sense to go back into history, correct? Ask things like, what was the early christianity like? What did the Apostles, disciples, early church fathers believe? Were they Catholic or protestant? Did the Apostles really have traditions? If so, what traditions did they spoke of? It only make sense to go back and learn what the Apostles, disciples, church fathers believe because they are the ones who lived closely with Our Lord. A former Anglican who became a cardinal named John Henry Newman said, “to be deep in history is to cease to be a protestant.” The Catholic Church is the only church who can trace their successors to the Apostles. The first pope of the Church is St. Peter. But did you know that the 2nd and 4th pope of the Church, Pope Linus and Pope Clement, are mentioned in the bible? 2 Timothy 4:21 and Phil. 4:2-3, respectively. Also take a look at what the early Church Fathers think of the Church. St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrneans 8:2, 107 AD “Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist, which is celebrated by the bishop or by one whom he ordains [i.e., a presbyter]. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Then, St. Cyprian of Carthage, Letter of Cyprian to All His People 43 (40), 5, 251 AD “They who have not peace themselves now offer peace to others. They who have withdrawn from the Church promise to lead back and to recall the lapsed to the Church. There is one God and one Christ, and one Church, and one Chair founded on Peter by the word of the Lord. It is not possible to set up another altar or for there to be another priesthood besides that one altar and that one priesthood. Whoever has gathered elsewhere is scattering.” Another thing, the Bible didn’t just miraculously appear out of nowhere and Jesus didn’t tell His Apostles, “and by the way, this is a Bible, read it and share it to the world.” The Apostles didn’t even know what a “Bible” is at that time. They didn’t gather together and say, “okay let’s go out and make a bible.”

Warm Mocha I have a daughter and two grandchildren being baptized in the Catholic Church this evening at 8 o’clock. I know the complete history though I have not been in the Catholic Church since I was a teenager, very little has changed ,and I know the history of Catholicism and where it began ,and it certainly did not begin with Peter. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives when anyone preached against the Catholic theology, that is not the church of Jesus Christ, because the true church would never ever do that , not even to Muslims much less anyone else. Now either they are listening to the pope as if he was a person to go through as if God spoke to the pope only ,of the which there’s no truth in that ,but we have to go by what the pope is saying ,and what the pope is doing that is against the word of God it’s self .I do not hate these people ,as I do not hate anyone ,I simply know the deception. that is there today .will there be people in heaven from the Catholic Church? yes. Thank you for your comment. But these guys think I’m a devil, but one day they will remember me and the things that I said , that if they don’t come through Jesus alone for their salvation, they will not enter in , you can’t even pray one prayer to Mary or any of the Saints , it’s enough for rejection in the eyes of the Lord .for it is by grace through faith alone. We’re not to live like the devil of course but it is still by the finished work of the cross ,by the blood of Jesus only ,not anything we can do to get us into heaven, it’s what we receive, and that is forgiveness for our sins, no man on the earth can forgive sins, there’s no purgatory. Our decision is final here ,we either receive Jesus or we reject him , we can’t add things to the work on the cross ,and if we do that ?if anyone does that ?they will not enter into God‘s kingdom. What’s with the little statues on their desk ?the little figurines that God hates supremely ?that is against the word of God in itself ,and it’s open for anyone to see that knows what the word of God says. Confession, communion ,confirmation ,these are all ceremonies that God is displeased with. Even Catholics that I talk to are against these things. The word of God says we are to be of one mind and one accord, The Catholic Church has hundreds of different bodies in it ,some agreeing ,some disagreeing ,nobody’s on the same page ,some people know the pope is just a man ,some people believe he is actually ago between God and man ,and he is not, there is only one mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus Christ ,that is what the Bible says. Why is the Catholic Church constantly changing and reforming? Even the true church right now is in trouble. But God is going to shake the earth is shaking is coming from him and only the true believers will be standing when it’s over. That means only those who have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ are going to stand, those who have religion ,legalism ,and ceremonies, and working for their salvation ,working for their entrance into heaven, Will fall at once ,and fear will grip them, you don’t have to take my word for it ,you will witness it ,just hang on ,because it’s coming. I’m pretty sure you have felt for a long time ,something terrible is about to hit the earth. God loves the Catholic people so much ,he does not love the true church any more or any less then them, he wants everyone to come to him in repentance. In so much that when the church is rapture out ?God is still going to give people opportunity to come to him in repentance. All the way up to the end.

james wells I don’t think you see the full story, I’ve seen these same claims all over, mostly from Anti-Catholic websites, youtube videos, etc. Everyone wants a personal Jesus, they don’t want to hear about the biblical Jesus. Jesus set One Church and there are traditions. Traditions the Apostles passed along to the next successor. I thought you were honestly seeking for the Truth, but it’s obvious your mind was already set even before asking those questions. Btw, there is a difference between venerating, honoring, and loving the Blessed Virgin Mary, to “worshipping.” Worship is only designated to God alone.

Love the Vatican Bank's washing of Mafia money and the mass child rapes of Roman Catholic children by Roman Catholic priests! Jesus is SO PROUD!!!!!! Love the coverup, too!

@@karenpierce6424 you are spot on. I noticed this too. Their pastors teach hate of different faiths. I found this out when I attended protestant churches for 10 years.

Hi Cliff, you might find it helpful to ask about the perception you have on the role of statues in Catholic life on either / both of the following live call-in shows. They are very knowledgeable and hold to the orthodoxy of the Catholic faith. Catholic Answers Live: Weekdays, 6-8 pm Eastern (3-4 PM Pacific) "on over 360 AM and FM stations in the United States, Sirius Satellite Radio channel 130, and through the Internet at catholic.com, KZfaq, Facebook, and Periscope." The link to their topic schedule: www.catholic.com/audio/cal . Called To Communion: The host, Dr. David Anders, has a PhD in Reformation Theology. He's a convert to Catholicism. Show times: weekdays, 2 pm Eastern (North America) on the EWTN YT channel; or listen on the EWTN app for Android or Apple. Catholic beliefs and practices don't go against Scripture, but they often go against the misperceptions many people have.

You don't get a special blessing from touching a statue. Any respect you show is for the person represented by the statue. Jesus became incarnate out of respect for our physical nature. Statues also respect that and enable us to come closer to the spiritual God through our bodies.

Nope

Would you not show respect for relatives ? All the statues are a depiction of our huge Christian family . They were on earth at one time just as I am now. They struggled just as I do. They all served our Lord Jesus Christ. We are all at the foot of the cross , grateful that Jesus suffered a horrid Physical death on the cross so we would know eternal salvation. The word idolatry is tossed around and Satan uses that word to accuse Catholics. Satan despises God's family and the miracle of the Eucharist . We have been under attack for more than 2,000 years. But we prevail. Satan hates that very much . When people tell me I am not Christian , because I am Catholic I used to use apologetics to educate them . I am 75 now . I no longer Expend energy apologizing to those who attack me. I pray for them. To those who tell me I am not saved because I am Catholic , I know this. They , nor anyone I know on earth , is going to sacrifice themselves on the cross for me . They are not God , and do not hold the final disposition of my soul in their hands . They are not my judge ! The greatest Paraclete Is my savior ! I am marked for salvation and Jesus defends me against Satan the prosecutor .
