This is one of my favorite talks of all time. Thank you , Dr. Hahn.

Seven years later, this is still my favourite talk of all time.

Thanks be to God, that I could live in this time where Catholicism's intellectual arm is beginning to reveal its strength once again, and shows that Christ is still King.

Can we have like 200,000,000 more people just like Dr Scott Hahn?

Thanks, Scott. I saw you at St. Mary's on the Hill in Augusta about 15 years ago. It didn't sink in. It took a vision of Mary in the Andes to make me look again. Southern Baptist "for life," now Catholic. Thank you.

I love listening to Dr Scott Hann.. So much to learn from him... Proud to be a Catholic...

Dr. Hahn is the St Paul of this modern era.. thank you Dr. Hahn you are very special. God bless you

Amen "faith enhances reason". St. Thomas Aquinas; genius.

Thank you Dr. Hahn for being an ardent defender of Catholic faith.

My heart is full and my faith expanded. This needs to be revisited over and over again, to absorb the magnitude of its message. God bless Scott Hahn!

So so enlightening. I wish we could preserve Dr. Hahn's brain.

This was an excellent presentation Thank you Scott for this furthermore I am personally starting my own personal research in protestantism God bless you all ✝️❤️🙏

What a defence of the need for the papacy and the utter rebellion that would ensue without it

He just blew my mind! I wish I could have heard him speak when I was a lot younger

God bless you Dr. Hahn. I am learning so much.

I don’t know what to say: We need this kind of talk❤

More on Martin Luther's 'respect' for the Bible: -threw out 7 books from the Septuagint -cut out passages from other books in the Holy Bible -disliked the book of James especially the part that proclaimed that faith w/o works is dead -cut out passages from Esther and Daniel -unilaterally added the word 'alone' to Romans 3:28 (later removed by followers but not before the false mindset of 'faith alone' set in) As a former protestant, I encourage you to do your research, you aren't far from the fullness of truth. It's bigger than you realize.

Praise God for his brilliant servant like you Dr Scott Hahn for your excellent presentation and teaching of Catholicism. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing, I think he explains the history of our desacralized modernity really well

I had to listen to this to let this sink in. There's some deep theology here.

This is a treasure. I love Dr. Hann. He is an inspiration.

I just finished watching this for the third time. Wow! It’s better every time I watch.

Love you Dr Scott Hahn. I have learnt so much about the Early Church History. I thank God for leading me back to the Church.

Thank you Dr Scott, for helping me learn and understand more of our faith with God Jesus Christ! You are a blessing to me!🙏

I'm praying hard that you will remain a faithful Catholic for you are a big help to us catholics who are ignorant about the history of the church and its dogmas. Your speeches enlightened and strengthened our faith in GOD and in the universal church that is the repository of the holy sacraments, of factual and biblical dogmas and the way to eternal life. May the Almighty GOD bless you with vast divine wisdom and guidance that you may be able to continue propagating God's holy words of eternal life. GOD bless you always and your entire family.

BEHOLD the 21st Century Aquinas. Blessed be God in His Angels and His Saints. Thank you Hahn

Absolute;y brilliant and riveting. I am blessed to have heard this.

Wish we could have it with Spanish subtitles! so i can share all this amazing information. Praise the Lord!!

Wow! Brilliantly laid out! Thanks Dr. Hahn!

44:10 the sequence is chillingly clear

Thank you Dr Hahn. God Bless you.

Dr Scott you are a great teacher of the Catholic Faith . This talk was engaging & informative. God bless you!

Wonderful marvelous delightful uplifting informative excellent presentation,all high and sincere thanks Givings be to the Eternal Father and to the Eternal Son and to the Eternal Holy Spirit for giving the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Christian Church of Traditional Teachings and Worship this very well learned man Scott Hahn YEAH AMEN DEO GRATIS 🙏🐑🕊️🔥✨

Every time he talk, he give us a rich theological insight.......God bless you and us, amen.

Amazing!... This opened so much new angles for me!

I love and it worthwhile listening to Dr.Scot it makes me more inspired to go deeper in understanding my Faith in God thru to His workers in the vineyard ,the pope.priests and the lay Catholic christians.

Now if only we could get Jordan Peterson and Scott Hahn in the same room...

My oh my!!! Brilliant and eye opening. Thank God for the Fatherhood and professors like Dr. Scott H. Wow!

awesome, may God continue to bless you and may you in turn be ever thankful for the wonderful way that God is using you to bring to light the beauty of our faith.

Wow I like the speech 👍👍

It's interesting that this talk today isn't just about Protestantism and society but also what's going on in the Church itself. At least it gives one hope. We made it through this before, we can do it again.

I've watched this video a couple times, and only after I quite intensively went after reading and watching lectures on how the reformers thought, I understood it. It's amazing how Dr. Hahn presents the mistakes of the narrow-mindedness of Luther, Zwingli and Calvin together without even mentioning them directly - only by showing how misguided was the entire philosohipcal and theological basis these men sought after - a castle of sand. Bravo!

He's right. The professional class doesn't like something this tidy but history will go his way on this.

Thank you Dr. Hann.

Thank you, Dr Scott. You are an inspiration for many.

as Catholics we are callled to hold true to Christ's church and have faith that it will be reconciled even as the liberals try trashing it from within. The Traditional Catholics will grow ever more... God be with you all.

This is wild and profound. I've always been confused by the protestant insistance on sola scriptura, and "what they lose" if they accept that the Church matters at all, but apparently they're terrified of an arbitrary God of arbitrary rules. Why would you even want to spend eternity with such a God? Not surprising at all that Hitchens and the rest call Christianity Immoral: so divorced from the truth of God's Fatherly love, the arbitrary enforcement of rules which protestantism espouses IS profoundly twisted and bad for society, psychology, morality, and the rest!

Great lecture. Thank you Dr Scott Hahn. Insightful as usual.

It wasn't until I became Catholic that I realized that the things coming out of the "Age of Enlightenment" and the Renaissance were not necessarily good things as we'd always been taught.

On the subject of Sacraments, St Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:5 that in the last days people will be holding a form of religion but denying the power of it. Unfortunately nowadays we have people who deny real Presence, that baptism saves, sacramental confession and even the ministerial priesthood which is really sad since there is a lot of resistance even when pointing to scriptures some have already made up their minds.

An illuminating lecture!!!

incredibly insightful. Thank you, Dr. Hahn!

thank you, Dr. Hahn.

Thank u Dr. Hann. I learn so much.

Has anyone seen Steve ray? He is a very good speaker of the Catholic Church just like scott hanh coverts to the home of the church ⛪

Historians often state that secularism has distinct Christian origins, but didn’t know the particulars of how it happened. This is some intriguing material. In the modern era Westerners get puzzled when meeting political movements that don’t have this dichotomy, namely Islam. Any time secular countries deal with the Middle East, they have to confront the religious character. All the militant groups are Islamist, they are no garden variety freedom fighters. This is such a sticking point that during Obama there were proposals to create a census designation of “Muslim” as an ethnicity. Also interesting that atheists adore Occam.

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Hahn, he sparked my faith in 1992, near Ottawa, Ont speaking of John. I've heard him speak of marriage as covenant for years, and it makes sense, but I've recently listened to Traditional teaching on marriage that explains it as a "contract"; but because of "Natural Law" it is an irrevocable contract. I found it very interesting to have marriaage explained in terms of Natural Law, which seems to be a forgotten teaching in the Catholic Church. .. Yes, Natural Law is used in sexual morality, but it's much much more than that. Natural Law applies to marriage, duties of men, duties of women, as well as roles of women and roles of men. I believe Natural Law is the key to the "New Evangilization" and the rebuilding of the Catholic Church.

Wow!

My favorite theologian

Such a gifted teacher!

Excelente y también increíble esa capacidad de abarcar la marcha del mal de siglo en siglo. Que el Señor , nuestro Dios, proteja al Dr Scott Hahn.

The date of this talk would be Oct 2005, based on the reference to Fr. Jenkins having become president of Notre Dame the prior month. Dr. Hahn looks a bit older these days (as do I)!!

Before Reformation:1 Bible After Reformation: 500+ versions of the Bible

Thank you very much.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ................

Is this speech or its information in one of Scott Hahn’s books? I need it in print to absorb it all

Brilliant

3:40 Via antiqua - via moderna 6:40 metaphorical or metaphysical? 8:30 Athanasius verses Arius (fatherhood) 11:10 Augustin vs Manicheens (sacrements are impossible because matter is evil) 12:00 Augustin vs Donatists (sacrements are effective only if given by holy priests) intrinsicaly powerfull 13:20 Augustin vs Pelagians (sacrements are not useful for good christians)

GREAT TEACHER

This is very good. What insight. Thanks for posting it.

An oddity, I tried to share this video from the KZfaq app and it would not load. I pulled it up in the Brave browser and was able to share. Just an observation. I live Dr Hahn and what he has done for the modern Carholic Church. Now if we could only get the church to reform itself and return to God.

WOOOOOOOW.

Wow thank you Dr. Hahn

Excellent.

Thank you!

And that, my children, is how we got postmodernism. Can the genie ever get back into the bottle? Only God knows.

St boniface and st Aquinus interpreting St Augustine both taught the via antiqua at university of Paris" faith elevates perfects and enlightens reason. Expressed thru the liturgy and the sacraments enabling Freedom of a loving god . Versus the via moderna of the 14 century taught at the university separating reason from faith creating a judging will full God who has no covenant with man.

Oh wow it really strikes me with what he saying about plausible deniability and particularly focusing on the natural world that this is now applying to Pope Francis.

So, are you saying that Total Depravity is a Manichaean heresy?

Wow according to a list I found St Augustine wrote 103 books. I wonder if Scott has all of them. I know his library is huge.

Facts.

What school of theology did the Good Samaritan go to? Is the Gospel simple and you're making it complicated or is it so complicated the greatest minds in Christendom can't agree? Please make a video.

God bless.

Brilliant!

After 24 spiritually dark yrs in the church of rome, In 1996 i read the bible n Came Home to JESUS n CHRIST Alone in Bible based Protestant Christian churches n i thrashed my unholy rosary beads!!

I've been listening for 20 minutes, and he's still preaching a sermon rather than talking about the forerunners of the reformation.

So we'd be very wise indeed to think of Christ Jesus as one of the earliest and the Founder of the idea of being an Intellectual Revolutionary; His ideas only really were proven post His death- and if you deny that He died, then you reject the Gospels.

What about the scandals of the Catholic Church at the time? The churches failures had a direct effect on the reasons behind the reformation. I am a proud Catholic but I don’t understand how this was ignored by scott

The problem is that even today in the Catholic Church many of us are prone to the same errors of the so call protestant reformers. We can all be guilty of wanting to form God in our own image and in a moment of brilliance to us which happens to be more a moment of delusion we come up with some idea that radically send us off the rails.

theyre celebrating the reformation at a catholic church near me...what do you think of this?

Troppo Forte

Athanasius of Alexandria... EPISCOPOS AEGYPTIAE...TO THE BISHOPS OF EGYPT . For whence do Marcion and Manichaeus receive the Gospel while they reject the Law? For the New Testament arose out of the Old, and bears witness to the Old; if then they reject this, how can they receive what proceeds from it? Thus Paul was an Apostle of the Gospel, 'which God promised afore by His prophets in the holy Scriptures[3]:' and our Lord Himself said, 'ye search the Scriptures, for they are they which testify of Me[4].' How then shall they confess the Lord unless they first search the Scriptures which are written concerning Him? And the disciples say that they have found Him, 'of whom Moses and the Prophets did write[5].' And what is the Law to the Sadducees if they receive not the Prophets[6]? For God who gave the Law, Himself promised in the Law that He would raise up Prophets also, so that the same is Lord both of the Law and of the Prophets, and he that denies the one must of necessity deny the other also. And again, what is the Old Testament to the Jews, unless they acknowledge the Lord whose coming was expected according to it? For had they believed the writings of Moses, they would have believed the words of the Lord; for He said, 'He wrote of Me[7].' Moreover, what are the Scriptures to him of Samosata, who denies the Word of God and His Incarnate Presence[9], which is signified and declared both in the Old and New Testament? And of what use are the Scriptures to the Arians also, and why do they bring them forward, men who say that the Word of God is a creature, and like the Gentiles 'serve the creature more than' God 'the Creator[1]?' Thus each of these heresies, in respect of the peculiar impiety of its invention, has nothing in common with the Scriptures. And their advocates are aware of this, that the Scriptures are very much, or rather altogether, opposed to the doctrines of every one of them; but for the sake of deceiving the more simple sort (such as are those of whom it is written in the Proverbs, 'The simple believeth every word[2]),' they pretend like their 'father the devil[3]' to study and to quote the language of Scripture, in order that they may appear by their words to have a right belief, and so may persuade their wretched followers to believe what is contrary to the Scriptures. Assuredly in every one of these heresies the devil has thus disguised himself, and has suggested to them words full of craftiness. The Lord spake concerning them, that 'there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, so that they shall deceive many[4].' Accordingly the devil has come, speaking by each and saying, 'I am Christ, and the truth is with me;' and he has made them, one and all, to be liars like himself. And strange it is, that while all heresies are at variance with one another concerning the mischievous inventions which each has framed, they are united together only by the common purpose of lying[5]. For they have one and the same father that has sown in them all the seeds, of falsehood. Wherefore the faithful Christian and true disciple of the Gospel, having grace to discern spiritual things, and having built the house of his faith upon a rock, stands continually firm and secure from their deceits. But the simple person, as I said before, that is not thoroughly grounded in knowledge, such an one, considering only the words that are spoken and not perceiving their meaning, is immediately drawn away by their wiles. Wherefore it is good and needful for us to pray that we may receive the gift of discerning spirits, so that every one may know, according to the precept of John, whom he ought to reject, and whom to receive as friends and of the same faith. Now one might write at great length concerning these things, if one desired to go rate details respecting them; for the impiety and perverseness of heresies will appear to be manifold and various, and the craft of the deceivers to be very terrible. But since holy Scripture is of all things most sufficient[6] for us, therefore recommending to those who desire to know more of these matters, to read the Divine word, I now hasten to set before you that which most claims attention, and for the sake of which principally I have written these things.

When did he give this talk? He looks so young. He looks like I remember him from the 90s.

Hm, I question the statement on faith being needed for reason in this video. It’s effectively just saying we have to take things for granted in order to take more things for granted, just in a way that sounds more convincing. If we can’t be absolutely sure, why should we just blindly suppose we can be sure? Our subjective need to rationalize does not mean the universe has to follow our whims.

Of faith and reason, unpacking the protestant development.post 13 th century plagues when God was privatised by the french and Gernan princes parliament and universities and the schism of faith and reason divided the 2 th century catholic doctrines of belief of tradition the apostolic fathers the magisterium the pope the council of Nicea and trent and bishops and priests and the divine liturgy and sacramental intrinsic divinity. have I represented your points Dr Hahn?

Very interesting presentation and great analysis of the revolutions that have brought us to where are! May I however suggest that in fact these revolutions started a thousand years earlier than the Machiavellian; when the Catholics decided to go sacramental in place of the 1st century gospel of "Repent and believe upon the Lord and you shall be saved". In fact Paul summarises what was central in the Apostolic gospel; Christ and Him crucified was the theme and how we could be saved by accepting that gospel.

This is the level of respect Martin Luther had for the Bible: "You tell me what a great fuss the Papists are making because of the word "alone" is not in the text of Paul. If your Papist makes such an unnecessary row about the word "alone", say right out to him. 'Dr. Martin Luther will have it so'. And say 'Papists and asses are one and the same thing. I will have it so, and I order it to be so, and MY WILL IS REASON ENOUGH. I know very well that the word "alone" is not in the Latin or Greek text, it was not necessary for the Papists to teach me that."

This is a difficult thought.

47:48 He meant Darwin, not Marx.

I would LOVE for pope emeritus Benedict XVI to give his opinion on this.
