I am going to be painfully honest. Erick speaks so far above my intelligence, but, he really helped me understand some of the early difficulties the church had to deal with. I realize that I seriously, underestimate what this beautiful church of ours has gone through for 2000 years! I cant tell you how many times I hung my hat on the statement "before the reformation, we were all Catholic!" Minus the Orthodox split. As though it was somehow much easier to defend being Catholic, then modern times. Boy was I wrong! Thankfully we have these big thinkers, like Erick, to help us "kitchen table" thinkers, to really feel confident in knowing that we are in the one true church, of our dear Lord! Thank you Matt and Erick! 💠

This took me two days to get through. I had to rewind and re-listen a few times, Wow. Erick is a treasure of the Church! What a great, honest, vulnerable and holy interview. It’s so easy to critique the Church (apparently throughout history), and yet there is no where for Catholics to go especially when the dogma and practice seem divided. Erick represents the struggle so well, and yet, gives me hope that we’ll be led to the Truth…as we continually are! The best quote I heard was from Hector Molina when I asked “how do I evangelize to ex-Catholics who are too hurt by the Church?” he said “don’t leave Peter because of Judas.” 🤯 Even though Peter was imperfect, he asked for forgiveness and tried again. This Church is not perfect but it is Christ that makes us holy. However, we have to be constantly aware of our imperfections and constantly asking for forgiveness and trying again tomorrow. Fortitude at its best. P.S. Hallow is AWESOME! The best way to get daily scripture and pray the rosary! Changed my prayer life.

Why? These two were just spitting disinformation and straight out propaganda the entire time: 1. Rome never has any supremacy since there used to be five ancient patriarchies which were equal with eachother and only came together when they wanted to condemn someone... ironically they eventually condemned eachother. 2. Jesus never established the catholic church. He was never in rome. Probably peter was never in rome either. The tomb of peter was based on a hearsay. 3. The reason why catholicism is so widespread is because of imperialism. Spain and portugal were the largest imperial colonial power in the world in the 16th century and under the the banner "gospel, gold, and glory" they spread catholicism while killing and robbing the entire world. 4. There isnt any philosophical unitiy within the catholic church. So have leftist groups who believes in the liberation theology and lunatics from the opus dei, all calling themselves true catholics while condemning eachother.

I wanted to add, Eric Ybarra mentioned towards the end that he thinks the exodus towards Orthodoxy will continue to grow. This may or may not be true. Something important to consider though, is the world of difference between how Orthodox and Catholics live. Generally speaking in America, the average Orthodox Christian has a much closer relationship to the people in their parish and especially the parish priest. Priests are almost always married and have younger children. There is a total overall spiritual effect from these kinds of things, especially when you consider the value that Orthodox place on liturgy, theology, and spiritual practices. I've been a priest for 8 years and served in five different states across the USA. Ancedotally, I'll say from my experience, the real decisive factor is the community that surrounds a person. Academics, theology, Internet videos, those really do matter in some sense. But I think ultimately what matters for a person making a call, "should I be Orthodox or Catholic" ends up boiling down to the community life and if that is healing the deep wounds of their spiritual ailments.

This is a wonderful conversation, thank you. One thing you mentioned, not central to the conversation but very important, is 'Trad scrupulosity'. Yes! I am firm supporter of the old rite and attend it almost exclusively. Thankfully, the sort of stuff you referred to is entirely absent where I go. However, I have, in the past, listened to trad sermons online and found scrupulosity becoming a problem. Some of it is absurd, such as quoting a Pope from 70 years ago on how long a lady's sleeve should be.Anyone who reads actual traditional moral theology will find the Catholic positions are very balanced. Indeed, Ronald Knox could refer, in 'The Belief of Catholics', to how the Catholic Church was viewed as morally lax by other Christians (which just shows how much protestantism has changed over the last century). Catholics are not obliged to find the most rigorous position and follow it. Checking online to find what the most extreme position is in order to be 'on the safe side' is, I would argue, spiritually dangerous. Thanks for bringing this up!

As someone who was a cradle Roman Catholic all the way through Confirmation and ventured into Eastern Orthodoxy later on in life, I will say that both have an Achilles heel. Ultimately, I find solace in Hebrews 13:17-19. All schisms within the Apostolic Churches undoubtedly stained them all in some way. That being said, the answer isn’t Protestantism. You stay in communion with your Bishop, maintain your sacramental, liturgical, and prayer life; trusting in the grace of God. Pray for our hierarchy, as ultimately, it is they that will be held accountable for ecclesiastical matters. I have since then decided to reconcile myself with the Church I was brought up in, because honestly, the polemics are exhausting and distract me from focusing on Christ.

Matt - First Erick is a fount of information about the early Church fathers and thank you for the discussion. Second, the quote you read from your text from Father Jason Charron is profound and NEEDS to be in a published book to be available to all the faithful. I listened over and over to transcribe it for myself. Please have Father on again and discuss this topic of disillusionment with the Catholic Church. I attend a Novus Ordo church in a small city with no other Catholic, eastern Catholic or Orthodox Church. I love my Pastor who is reverent and humble and traditional and the light of Christ shines forth from him. But I also hear the disillusionment of others in my own family, in my parish and in the universal Church, all of whom need to hear the wisdom of Father Charron and other faithful servants of the Body of Christ.

This has been a refreshingly candid discussion about Orthodoxy vs Catholicism. •Somtimes we win by an inch, but an inch is an inch. •God won't judge you for not understanding this particular phrase in Byzantine Greek the way it was understood by South-East-Anatolians. Also, the Little Office of Baltimore is great. I use it a lot. It is perfect especially for people who want to get into the Liturgy of the Hours in an easy way that does not consist of flipping pages 546 times during one (1) prayer or having to by 4 volumes.

1:39:45 There was NO EAST and WEST, only the ONE SINGLE, Christian Roman Empire Led first by Rome, for a short while, then Constantinople. In the early centuries, THE WEST was also used to note, the language, of Latin, used mostly in the western part of the empire, and Greek language used mostly in THE EAST, or eastern part of the empire. IT WAS NEVER SPILT INTO TWO EMPIRES. Over centuries “Greekness” tended to eventually dominated over the whole empire. Greek influence was already part of the historical influence of the Roman civilisation from its conception, even well before it became an empire. Once Rome became a pagan empire, and later Christian, it became the capital of Christendom. This was only for a few centuries early on. For the over whelming majority of the longest running empire in world history, …the Christian Roman Empire, it was overwhelmingly Greek, and led by the capital of Christendom, Constantinople, which moved from Rome. Byzantine Empire, or Byzantium was NOT it’s name. It was the name of a very ancient pagan City, long gone, by the time Constantinople was built onto it. Because of its rich historical context, which included its geographical position, …made it the ideal position to build the jewel of Europe, and capital of Christendom, glittering Constantinople. On the flip side, there was no real “Holy “ Roman Empire, there was nothing “Holy” about it, nor was it the Roman Empire . There was only ever ONE ,…ROMAN EMPIRE, and it’s capital was first Rome, then Constantinople, it didn’t ever split in two, one led by Rome, and the other led by Constantinople, that is ridiculous.

God bless and keep you both- this was a wonderful conversation. More than Erick's arguments, I admire and love the deep calm with which he seems to discuss matters of the Faith I really and truly think I don't have a rein on my passions to be able to adequately understand the true depths of the Faith (though it's the only thing that really holds my attention anymore). I remember when I converted three years ago I was graced with about a year and a half of peace, comfort in faith, and a desire for prayer and fasting. Now, an excellent conversation like this gives me some measure of peace again. Yet I need only scroll through the comments on this video and spy some comment about "Erick is a liar!" or "Erick was refuted by X on this point!" for my soul to feel a panic, and me to furiously skim through the first paragraph or two of a couple of articles in order to find some phrase or argument which seems to refute such claims and gives me that same peace again. I'm looking for the security that mans' arguments provide, rather than looking for God (who never promised us security on this earth). I pray that I be able to break such habits, and be able to seek God without such agitation- as Erick himself seems to here. I'm not certain I could stand being friends with an Orthodox priest as he was without seeking to prove him wrong regularly for my own sense of peace (never considering the man's soul). Please pray for me also.

Listening to this discussion about the historical divisions within the church, I can't help but think of Matthew 23:15, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves." (NRSV)

Early divisions in the 1AD are interesting because they aren't new divisions that started only after Christ created a new people. . They were divisions already present among diverse understandings and practices of diverse Judaisms. Whom is the Heavenly Man riding on the clouds, told in Daniel? A human who was made God? A God whom only appeared to be a man? Or the second power in Heaven, whom Moses knew, whom Abraham knew, whom Jacob knew, who became Man through the Virgin.

I agree with the comment about Novus Ordo. Sometimes you're traveling and the celebration is just not good. Beyond that, If you're traveling where the local vernacular isn't your language it becomes even more challenging to follow it. The TLM is celebrated in the same manner wherever you go. Talk about "catholic" as "universal", and the TLM is as close as it gets. And this is all coming from someone that was raised post V2.

It would not be a Catholic Church if the mass isn’t the same. Even if you go to 2 different churches and the mass is in English, it’s the same mass. It’s all one single mass being celebrated.

@@ntmn8444 I think what Ricardo meant is that It (the NO) is the same mass, but in different languages. The beauty of having one, universal liturgical language like Latin is that no matter where you go, you will always know what's going on and understand. Hence, Latin mass = I can go to India, Mexico, Germany, etc. and everywhere will be the same. Now if I go to a NO in any of those countries, yes, they will have the same form of the mass but the languages are all different and I won't understand. No unity. Every major world religion has a liturgical language, so it's always confused me why the Church abandoned hers entirely in order to pursue the vernacular. Muslims have Arabic, Hindus have Sanskrit, Jews have Hebrew... the Church had Latin but not anymore. You should try attending the Latin mass. My wife and I started attending over a year ago and have never looked back.

Jesus Christ knew first hand the weakness of a human, yet he founded His Church on Peter because of his zeal for Christ, sent by the Father, in spite of his denying Jesus three times. For me, the Catholic, Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ, is forever the Church of Jesus Christ, in spite of what misguided men do to change it and make it theirs. I was born into a Catholic family with a mother who converted from the Quaker church because a Catholic Priest gave her the True explanation of the Holy Trinity. We were a Catholic family through and through. Mom had a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother, and prayed her Rosary daily. We were involved in all Parish activities. Our life revolved around our Catholic Faith. I wouldn’t know how to be anything other than a Catholic woman. I pray for the cleansing and healing of the Church, and conversion from the Papal Seat, throughout all the Clergy, consecrated Brothers and Sisters, and the Laity. This is home.

Thank God for this conversation. I have had my own struggles coming from my Protestant heritage, and even though I originally wanted to convert because I loved Catholicism, it became an exercise in refuting and knocking down increasingly well thought out Protestant arguments. Which was not a good fit with my own weakness leaning towards arrogance and pride. During that time I came up with a rule (because that's something that frustrated me with most Protestant objections): If you can only build up your own view by knocking down another, stop trying. If you can't build it up solidly-edifying try again. If it wasn't for that rule - and I think that's more properly called not my own rule - I probably still would have gone forward with my conversion, but with the false motives entirely. And we have a horrifyingly real example that you can be in the right Church for the false motives: Judas.

The evil Pope (yes, that's my opinion) and the disappointment when o go to some of the churches. The targeting of Trads. The corruption throughout. I'm very hesitant to move from where I am because of this, but am yearning for an ancient traditional church.

I also came up through high church "continuing" Anglicanism, where liturgical excellence is almost seen as a mark of the true Church. Erick's point that beautiful liturgy doesn't strictly correspond to truth, or "true-ness", is critically important, and was a pretty hard to adjust to after having been immersed in the Anglo-Catholic ethos. Christ is just as present in a weekday low ordinary form mass said by a mumbling priest, or in a "hippy guitar mass", as he is in a solemn high Latin mass. I would certainly prefer the latter for reasons of taste, fidelity to the tradition, and formation (lex orandi lex credendi), but I must submit my preferences to Christ and His Church and trust that Christ will be faithful despite human carelessness and disobedience.

Thank you Matt and Erick for such a rich conversation! I just had a question on the part of the video talking about the filioque (1:32:29). Didn't the original creed not have the filioque in it? The first two ecumenical councils drafted the creed which did not contain the filioque and this was agreed upon by east and west. I'm curious where Erick is getting that the filioque was always a part of the apostolic deposit of faith in the west. If it were, why did the original creed not have it in there? I understand that there was an Arian heresy that crept into the west in the middle of the first millennium, and some parts of the west added the filioque to combat the heresy and affirm the divinity of Christ. However, didn't Pope John VIII condemn the filioque (along with the other bishops) in the 8th ecumenical council in 879? This was the official position of Rome until the beginning of the 11th century when the filioque was officially inserted into the creed by the Pope. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. Thank you again.
@Erick_Ybarra
@Erick_Ybarra Жыл бұрын
Hi Michael Holwey, I touched upon this in my book on the Filioque which is available on Amazon. In short, the Filioque is seen in Fathers such as Ambrose, Augustine, Pope Leo, Pope Gregory the Great, Pope Leo III, and many other saints that are venerated as chief witnesses to the Apostolic faith by both Catholics and Orthodox. An Ecumenical Council as well as the Synodikon of Holy Orthodoxy include some of these names, making them premiere saints within the Orthodox faith. It would be extremely unfitting to have so many saints on the calendar who upheld "a heretical doctrine of the Filioque" for so many centuries. In the 19th century, the Orthodox were comparing the Filioque error to Arianism, and so the doctrine received a serious condemnation by the Orthodox Church. A condemnation which I don't think is fitting given their acceptance of these saints as fathers and doctors of Christ's body. John VIII never condemned the Filioque. Rome defended the Filioque doctrine ever since the beginning. What C'ple 879 condemned was any alterations or additions to the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. However, such a rule is not inherent within the preaching of Jesus or the Apostles, and thus it does not make up the sacred deposit of faith. Consequently, it can be changed by the proper authority so long as the sacred deposit is thereby defended. Since the Filioque is biblical, patristic, and reasonable, the West added Filioque to the creed, and this does not contradict anything essential to Christianity even given the condemnatory decree of Cple 879. The Greeks accepted this twice at the Councils of Lyons 1274 and Florence 1439, though both of these Councils are rejected by the Eastern Orthodox. I would recommend looking into the writings on the filioque by an Orthodox scholar Peter Gilbert whose website (de unione ecclesiarum) is devoted to transmitting the ecumenical papers of John Bekkos, the Patriarch of Constantinople who was pro-union with Rome via Filioque.

@@Erick_Ybarra Thank you for your reply. I am trying to understand the western position on this as I feel there is confusion as to what "procession" really means. Are we talking about the spiration of the Holy Spirit in the Godhead before creation, or are we talking about the sending of the Holy Spirit into the world as part of salvation history, or both? As I understand it, these are two very different things and shouldn't be confused. I have been reading up on some of these western saints' writings on the Holy Spirit, and I can see what you mean. So far I've read Ambrose and a little bit of Augustine. Augustine's language is certainly very strong, but he admits his theology is speculative and is open to correction. In any case, I would be very careful to suggest that the filioque teaching was a part of the deposit of faith in the west. The deposit of faith, as you already mentioned, is what the Apostles themselves handed down. East and west received the same deposit from the Apostles. It doesn't seem fair to call some of these fathers' writings from the fourth century and later the deposit. Great saints, like Augustine, did their best to discourse on theology without the ability to collaborate with their eastern brothers so some of their writings do feel very speculative and open to criticism, however, its not something we can necessarily hold against the saints since no saint said and did everything perfectly. I would also ask if the filioque was a part of the deposit of faith in the west, why did the western fathers not push for it in the 2nd Ecumenical Council (Constantinople 1) where the Creed was finalized and agreed upon by both east and west? I apologize if you answer this question in your book. I hope to pick that up sometime in the near future. As you said yourself in the interview, this is a very complicated topic, so I really do appreciate your thoughts and insights on these matters. Thank you for your time.

​@@michaelholwey4611- The filioque was not added into the creed during the early councils because it was not an issue without the challenge of Arianism. The denial of Christ's divinity was the goad that called for a response affirming his place in the Trinity. Thus "filioque" asserted that wherever there is one person of the Godhead, there must be present the other two also. And as noted, the idea of filioque was not actually rejected in 879, but the arrogance of unilateral insertion of anthing into the creed without calling another ecumenical council. It was in effect a denial of the usurpation of authority, on the disputed grounds of "petrine" leadership supposedly bestowed by Jesus. Basically, they were saying, "You can't do that without asking us first." It was not the word itself which they rejected.

I will just say this. The Catholic Church is not the end but a means to the End. Christ ended His life Ministry in the hands of the Roman’s but his End was not there. “I am passing over to the Father.” If we long to find a absolutely pure abode, then, as Christ said, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” Nobody can deny that “Cross” was Roman and painful to bear. It became the instrument by which one thief wanted to jump ship. And it became the instrument by which the other thief entered into Paradise. For Christ takes our Cross in Rome that we may take His Cross in Paradise: namely, the vision of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Cross of Life. Rome was not chosen to be the “end” of the Christian longing. But rather the medium through which we become virtuous, and long to go nowhere else but “into your hands I commend my spirit.” People who jump ship bypass the very mechanism God ordained unto Eternal Life. My chains are in Rome and though the beasts surround me (as the Psalmist says), yet my eye is turned upwards. Whoever turns the Eye from going upwards has nowhere else to go but downwards. To me, running to any other Church is running from the Cross.
