Jimmy is the most amazing and calm Catholic even Christian apologist I've ever heard! He radiates the love and peace of Christ❤️

“The Church Doesn’t Teach What you Think it Teaches” basically sums up my conversion story. “You mean all those crazy things I was told the Church teaches by my anti-Catholic pastor AREN’T what the Church actually teaches?!”-*becomes Catholic.

Jimmy akin is superhero in catholic apologetics❤❤❤

Hi Jimmy, I am a revert to the Faith and it is in large part thanks to your work. I was raised Catholic but fell away from the Faith in High School. When I started thinking more deeply about religion, your work made me see the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith. I also read the Drama of Salvation and thought it was great. You are a wonderful apologist and evangelist! I owe my return to the Church to you. I want to thank you for all your years of service. You are literally brining souls to Christ! Keep up the great work and God bless!

Just wanted to say thank you! My family was received last week as catechumens, and it is in a major way because of your debates and educational material. Thank you Jimmy and God Bless

God bless Jimmy Akin! Your work is helping to bring me home to Rome.

The fact that "Jimmy" is the name on his birth certificate is country as all get-out. In all seriousness, thank you to Jimmy for all the wonderful work you've done in explaining and defending the Catholic faith. Your work has been a huge help to me in my early days of being a Catholic (my husband, daughter, and I were all received into the Church this easter!)

Please pray for the repose of my Mom's soul. She died a little more than 20 hours ago. I'm listening to this to calm my mind so I will be able to sleep. During the funeral planning, one relative-by-marriage who was there asked about the Catholic funeral, admitting ignorance. Sadly, this person wasn't curious, but rolled eyes, saying, "I don't follow the man-made. I have a problem with... Well, I just follow the Word." I chose to remain silent at that time, but I sure did want to retort, "If you followed the Word you'd be Catholic." May the Lord lead us all to all truth.

... I need to go to bed and return for a listen tomorrow, because my brain is only latching onto the early chat about Jimmy's name, and my mind is only going to: "But can I call you Jimothy?"

Wow this was so awesome! This clarifies so much for me. We live in very confusing times. Thank you and God bless you.

Love your content, Jimmy! Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏

Jimmy I absolutely love you in debates! You explain your side so well with theological facts. I no you are responsible for many conversions to Catholicism

I am fascinated by Mr. Akin

Thank you for calmly and concisely explaining a lot of things. I’m a cradle Catholic , I really learn a lot about our faith from your excellent videos. Thank you for all you do. 🙏

Another remarkable phenomenon is when people who formerly lived pagan lifestyles and had rejected the Church thinking that they knew everything, but then have a religious conversion to the Church, suddenly go from pagans living in mortal sin, to super apostles who go around with a magnifying glass looking at all the defects of others, and appoint themselves teachers and authorities judging and condemning other ; it’s almost as if they went from being in the grip of of the ones that formerly belonged to him the devil in their past lives, to becoming tools of the devil in the Church and causing divisions and schisms. One has to be careful as the devil is astute, and adapts to the person; he’s not letting go of the soul so easily but finds ways to slither back into the lives of those who formerly belonged to him. The only antidote to this is humility, and the resolution to having a true conversion to Christ. rather than a merely a conversion to religious theological truths? A true personal relationship¡hip with Christ is to allow God to kill the old self, so that He can give us a new self, that is, Himself. If not, all the religious ardor can simply lead to the spirit of schism and division.

I love Jimmy Akin, because he is sooo interesting and always explains things so effortlessly. I also love "Catholic Answers". Thank you all. Theresa M (75 yr old) returned to the Catholic church a little over 1 yr ago.

This is my support comment. Thank you for the great content Jimmy!!

Jimmy always broadens your horizon! More videos please 😊

Thank you so much Jimmy!

Thank you Jimmy for all your great content.

Great video, Jimmy. Thank you.

Wonderful content as always 😊

Great video!

Excellent discussion! Given the what I understand of the host organization POV, I was concerned when I hit play. The conversation went well. It seemed like a few statements threw the host just a bit.

Learn from your shows. Thank you

Love all your vids! 😊

Chalk up another one. Excellent talk! 🙏🏼

Great content so informative 👏

One of the biggest obstacles in coming to the faith as an adult was, for me, all the thousands of different things-large and small-that different Catholics proclaimed was “part of Catholicism!” Through study, you find that what the Catholic Church actually teaches/is bears in some cases very little resemblance to the religion most of the Catholic faithful perform. A lot of the very superstitious, very legalistic stuff (on the one hand) and the very squishy, very sappy stuff (on the other) you see out there has no more basis in the teaching of the Church than what kinds of Christmas decorations people choose to put up in December (or when they put them up at all…another supposed matter of Catholic teaching!).

Just starting and commenting 🤝

Who come here in front! And remind! Without Thy Time given? Who can't be shared "i" AM! Gratitude and Honor

Another awesome episode!

Love the dog in the background! Hi Luna!

Love your videos Jimmy.

Thank you for attending unto our OWN!

Thanks, Jimmy.

Sometimes I just can't wait till you post it to your channel to watch. I'm sure you understand. But I still try to give you a comment and like ❤

Thank you Jimmy

Thank you

Love it Jimmy

Thank you ❤

Every Jimmy I know is a stand up guy.

Thank you.

I have never heard what in the Catechism of Trent needed to be revised and why. The bit I have read seems very well written and relevant to this day.

I grew up as a child in the Romanb Catholic Church and left as a teenager to find something that matched what I read in the Bible and the writings of the apostles, disciples, and anti-nicene fathers. Briefly a while back I thought about the possibility of coming back to the RCC, but then I started seeing the recent decisions that Francis has been making and that solidified my determination that the RCC was not the way for me to go.

ah... another chill day with Jimmy Akin I'm gratfeul for

Conversations can be educational. The perspectives of others can give insight and improve understanding. Knowledge is in abundance. What is deficient is application. Why information is not empowering is because either interpretive inability or more probable they lack willpower to evolve and develop.

Comment to help the channel grow! 👍🏻

Amen!

Like, comment, already subscribed.

Protestantism glorifies rebellion. Rebellion sometimes happens, but obedience is a virtue.

I'd like to hear Jimmy Akin's analysis of the tv show, "Lost".

You are awesome Jimmy….btw I really loved the X-Files too ☺️

That is a well behaved pup in the background behind Jimmy. I love the critical thinking emphasis.

Many looking like a MILLION BUCKS! LORD, LORD, LORD! Yet, students shared "i" AM will say, THEIR HEARTS ARE SO FAR AWAY! Beloved...remember let not Thy HEARTS far away? Why? With sincere tears! Rather replace with joy! How? Students will say, depart from me! Filling the blank! Yes, HE rather not say "DEPART FROM ME"? Why Students?

Hello jimmy, is it okey to receive the eucharist even if you are late in mass,, watching you here in japan, arigatou gozaimashita

The difficulty with something like women's ordination is that the Church only uninfallibly said that women's ordination is infallible, and Ratzinger, in "Concerning the CDF Reply Regarding Ordinatio Sacerdotalis," confirmed that _Ordinatio Sacerdotalis_ did not teach infallibly (37:06). So what you have is JPII uninfallibly claiming that the ordinary universal Magisterium infallibly prohibits women's ordination. All parties agree that JPII could technically be wrong in his uninfallible claim. This is a good example of the way that secondary objects _do not_ ever get defined in the way that Akin claims (even though they could, in principle, be so defined). So when Akin says that the prohibition on women's ordination to the priesthood is an infallible teaching, what he is really saying is that it is an infallible teaching that is not infallibly known to be infallible. This is why women's ordination is still a live option: because _Ordinatio Sacerdotalis_ did not make any infallible claims. I would love to hear Akin address such quandaries.

Students will say after have eaten the bread and the fish! Will thirst in front of HIM?

I thought it taught the gospel embodied in the Lord’s Prayer and the obedience to God’s will mentioned in it.

Jimmy, you said there's no official list of infallible teachings. Where could we go to find all the infallible teachings to put a list together? Also, are female Eucharistic ministers allowed? I don't care for it, but I was asked to by my priest. I'm not sure how to respond.

The fact that a teaching is not infallible does not mean that a Catholic can reject it.

Based on the title, I thought this was going to be about misunderstood Catholic beliefs. Instead it was a defense of a certain view of infallibility and the magisterium, with an eye towards rebuking more progressive Catholics.

Cardinal George said American Catholics are to some extent Calvinists, or something to that effect. :)

Is Pope Francis that confusing, or do many people go out of their way to change his meanings to fit their own?

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Here in Minnesota we knew about the pedophile (more correctly ephebophile) priest scandal from the late 80s, iirc. The Church basically circled the wagons at that point and didn't really address it. The trial lawyers forced the Church to act. The bishops never would have until they got sued.

Question: Was there a gap in your work with Catholic answers? Joining in 1983 is more than 30 years of work.

Was the papal bull, known as the "Unam Sanctam", issued by Pope Boniface VIII on 18 November 1302, an infallible declaration? in particular, the concept of" plenitudo potestatis" in which Pope Boniface declared "Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." I don't think the Church agrees with this today.

My beloved don't mind the SON holding a BASKET OF BREAD AND A FISH!

Students command my TIME TO COME IN FRONT OF WHO?

Jimmy is a Blessing .. so mich talent, patience, knowledge. And I really dig his style of dress.

We can’t say In Your face pope Francis

I’m surprised to see this. I thought Sammons had gone sedevacantist

Hockey is not "sports ball."

Not knowing many suits under WHO'S FEET? GNASHING OF TEETH!

Many will say Why HE is not wearing SUITS looking like look at me! Looking like a 'MILLION BUCKS"!

Quite glad that the regular host is not presenting it, cannot stand his way of talking and presenting.

Maybe bigfoot can open portals

Not knowing many suits under WHO'S FEET? GNASHING OF TEETH!,

It teaches worst

irs amazing what bullshit people believe....m

But there is more ... "In addition to the Jesuit or Catholic atrocities of this century already enumerated with some particulars, they massacred 400 Protestants at Grossoto, in Lombardy, July 19th, 1620; are said to have destroyed 400,000 Protestants in Ireland, in 1641, by outright murder, and cold, and hunger, and drowning; … -- Cushing B. Hassell, History of the Church of God, Chapter XVII"

Let's continue "The following quotation is from The Glorious Reformation by S. S. SCHMUCKER, D. D., Discourse in Commemoration of the Glorious Reformation of the Sixteenth Century; delivered before the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of West Pennsylvania, by the Rev. S. S. Schmucker, D.D., Professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. Published by Gould and Newman. 1838. Need I speak to you of the thirty years‘ war in Germany, which was mainly instigated by the Jesuits, in order to deprive the Protestants of the right of free religious worship, secured to them by the treaty of Augsburg? Or of the Irish rebellion, of the inhuman butchery of about fifteen millions of Indians in South America, Mexico and Cuba, by the Spanish papists? In short, it is calculated by authentic historians, that papal Rome has shed the blood of sixty-eight millions of the human race in order to establish her unfounded claims to religious dominion (citing Dr. Brownlee‘s ―Popery an enemy to civil liberty‖, p. 105). "

"The Catholic crusade against the Albigenses in Southern France (from 1209-1229), under Popes Innocent III., Honorius III. and Gregory IX., was one of the bloodiest tragedies in human history. … The number of Albigenses that perished in the twenty years‘ war is estimated at from one to two millions. -- Cushing B. Hassell, History of the Church of God, Chapter XIV"

"W. E. H. Lecky says: "That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history. The memorials, indeed, of many of her persecutions are now so scanty, that it is impossible to form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and it is quite certain that no power of imagination can adequately realize their sufferings." -- "History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe," Vol. II, p. 32. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1910. " Anyone who actually knows history and has a conscience should ask themselves how they could belong to a "church" wit this shameful & horrofic history.

15:13 people change their beliefs thats our fallen human nature. And ur opinions are not always authoritive. You go by church traditions and fall back on its same narratives. The sexual scandals did no deter his search for truth!!! Has he forgotten jesus words " suffer the children to come to me, for such is the kingdom " ..he is making poor excuses, imagine jesus and his apostles hiding such crimes and protecting the perpetrators.
