The Catholic Brothers
США
Добавлен 23 авг 2020
After 15 years of Protestantism and almost a decade of early Christian studies in academia, these two brothers and reverts to the Catholic faith make the Bible, History, and Theology entertaining, educational, and accessible for a general audience.
Marcionism and the Rule of Faith
In this installment of the First 500 Years series, the brothers take a journey through the life and thought of the church’s first major Heresiarch: Marcion of Pontus. Along the way, they propose fresh ways of understanding the origins of his doctrine and explain why he proved a formidable enemy for the earliest apologists as they began their struggle to preserve apostolic tradition.

Why God Became Man and What It Did to Demons
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Why did God become a man? We’re used to hearing what Christ’s incarnation/death/resurrection did for us, but we don’t often hear what His work did to the demonic powers. We’re used to answering the question solely with reference to matters of substitution, satisfaction, debts (of honor, wrath, or obedience?), so we can lose sight of the ancient Christian worldview and the entire cosmic drama at...

What was Roman Religion Like?
Просмотров 2 тыс.9 месяцев назад
In Part One of this episode, we flip the table a bit and try to understand Rome’s relationship to her gods *from the inside out* so that we can paint a fuller picture of the religious landscape of Christianity’s rise in Late Antiquity. Heretofore, many scholars have argued that early Christianity was able to spread so rapidly because the religion(s) of the Roman Empire had increasingly lost vit...

Women Priests in the Early Church ???

In this second part of our episode on women in early Christian communities we address the question of whether or not females served as presbyters. A timely topic, to be sure, as modern events like the Synod on Synodality continue to see this question bubble up to the top of the debates. But putting aside modern preoccupations and concerns, as historians, let’s really take a good look at the evi...
Icon Veneration is CLEARLY an Accretion ! (And a proper one, at that)

Here we offer our response to Dr. Gavin Ortlund’s recent video in which he argues against the decisions of the Second Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (787) asserting that the veneration of images/icons is not a proper development of doctrine, but instead represents an illegitimate accretion which contradicts the unanimous consent of the Church Fathers and the commandments in Scripture.

A Brief Biblical Argument for the Papacy (…this aged well 🙂)

Back when Cameron Bertuzzi (host of the fantastic channel, @CapturingChristianity ) was wrestling with the biblical and historical arguments for the papacy as a Protestant, we included this little biblical argument for the papacy at the tail end of our “Did Peter Leave a Successor in Rome” episode. We have heard the arguments from Matthew 16 and John 21, but an often neglected text is Acts 15 (...

Jesus, St John, and the Temple Secrets
Lila Rose did a great video (June 2024) on S*xual Ethics from Rome to Christianity, where Christianity really brought a s*xual revolution to Roman society. Christianity must have been a huge relief especially to women and children. As I understand it, churches (the widows perhaps) were even adopting discarded children from Roman brothels(!?)
Is there any sources you can share to read about this topic?
The traditional method of receiving Holy Communion in the Orthodox West is to kneel before the priest, placing the houseling cloth below the communicants mouth as the priest intones Corpus Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Custodiat Animam tuam in vitam aeternam. Amen, and then places the Body directly on to the persons tongue. He goes down the line giving the Body to each person and then returns to the Altar to bring the Chalice, the faithful remaining kneeling. The priest approaches the communicants again, this time with the Chalice & fistula (a metal straw lined with gold or silver which the faithful use drink the Precious Blood without touching the Chalice). The cloth is again placed under the mouth with the fistula placed in the mouth as the priest says Corpus et Sanguis Domini nostri Iesu Christi te perducat in vitam aeternam. Amen. The communicant takes a sip via the straw, makes a reverence to God’s very Body & Blood and goes back to their place in the nave.
When is the next in this series going to come out?

This was interesting. I was curious as to the Catholic Brother's interpretation of the wealth of information on a well-known Catholic RUclips channel that also features two brothers speaking on the primary topic of sedevacantism. If you need a link or a channel name, just let me know, but I can't link it without getting my comment deleted by RUclips.
first, there is no clear evidence peter was ever in rome. his mission was to jews. he was not even the head of the church in jerusalem. another bunch of roman catholic apologists making things up later to justify the pope...
Clement as Peter himself said.
These guys will tell you what you want to hear. How about being interviewed by the Orthodox? Or do you have the courage?
@@BassByRon no we’re too scared.
@@TheCatholicBrothers This was meant for @benjaminjohn675. I have since re-directed my question. My apologies.
How about Byzantine Catholic? But very sparse to find :-)
SIMPLE!!! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A "VICAR OF CHRIST ON EARTH" - It's all phony!!!!!
James was the leader.
Brilliant podcast. Thanks Brothers
Well, I don't understand what do you have against saying it's accreation. You are saying, oh it is accretion, but you didn't know, about the context. But yeah it's accreation.
@@Harmytwo no, we’re saying it’s a natural, cultic development of Christian theology rather than a foreign, unnatural accretion.
I am very thankful for your immediate response. Much appreciated. Ok, but still development. I don't want to be like it must be against God, but I believe, that Israel had too normal cultic development. But God called it idolatry. It's not like, I cannot understand, that God would reveal himself even through icons. On the other hand. I am with Ortlund about this, what he mainly said was, that we shouldn't under considerate (I am not native speaker), that with Israel it seemed like the same and that church is still tempted by the devil into idolatry. Church in our eyes isn't something, that can't do anything wrong. Which can be seen in medieval sentences against anyone, who said that church isn't infallible. So the question is, when it has developed is it possible, it was wrong?
I love how you can take the words off the pages and help me to visualize the story behind them! It's a wonderful gift. Thank you! ❤
I actually had a cat when I was in college named after Claudius!! 😂😂😂
Loving these videos!! I'm learning so much. It's bringing such a greater understanding and depth to everything!! Thank you!!! ❤
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you both for doing this series, and really connecting a lot of dots for me, not just between the OT and NT, but also the lives of the early Christians. Thank you so so much.
I think I’ve discovered you behind schedule but I’m certainly glad I did. Have really enjoyed what I’ve watched so far.
Benjamin made a comment that really spoke to me...' Orthodoxy (and Protestants by extention) have to edit out controversial issues while Catholicism can just absorb them'. That is something I discovered on my own.
I am thinking, maybe in a too logical way: the Catholic Church respects the Orthodox Church, recognized the validity of their Sacraments, and in a recent statement Pope Francis even said that it is a grave sin for a Catholic to even try to evangelize an Orthodox. On the other hand, in different degrees, the Orthodox Church maybe respects, but does not acknowledge the Catholic Church as such. Their sacraments are not valid, and it is a counterfeit Church. Isn't it logical to become Orthodox? Would this not enhance the possibility of Salvation? I would like an answer to this thought, there must be something wrong about it.
Dope video.
The guy opening the show sounds like Gavin Ortlund
Gavin Ortlund's a stubborn jackass. Pray for him.
Roman Catholicism is heretical and apostate for myriad reasons. Jesus Christ is rock. Peter was told by Jesus Christ to "get behind me Satan." Peter denied Jesus 3 times. Claiming Peter pope is ridiculous.
May the Holy Spirit speak and remain with us till endless ages run!
Really appreciate this video.
The Pope accepts gays: Catholicism see's an increase in converts: 🤣🤣🤣

Really appreciate this video. 🙏
Respect 👊 🙏 🤲
Thanks much for this video.
@@dynamic9016 are you bingeing the series right now?? 😁
@@TheCatholicBrothers Something like that..Just seeking to better understand Christianity..I'm subscribed to alot of channels teaching about the Catholic Faith..Really find you'll channel inspirational n insightful..I find Christianity to be a very deep Religion n alot of people devoted to it without understanding it at all..I'm convinced Roman Catholicism is the Truth..
Very insightful conversation..really appreciate it.
The guy Ybarra is a meatball. He switches faiths quite a bit seems like and doesn’t know what he is just like many of his cohorts. Will switch again I’m sure. Not sure why anyone would consider him an authority on anything? We can all read the history of the church and read off facts and write books. Remember, his opinions are objective and biased and misleading. He also complains about the direction of the Roman church and basically describes the Orthodox Church as what most disgruntled Romans are looking for. We all know that if the majority of Roman’s knew about Orthodoxy they would switch in a minute. I’m doing my best to make that happen. Former Roman here and the truth is Orthodoxy.
@@dogmalife2540 go to bed, it’s late.
I wouldn’t be proud of being duped by Satan for leaving the true church and entering his wicked, heretical invention called the Roman Catholic Church. You are a lost sheep that will need to find some strength and manliness and come back to the truth. The false Saint you call Aquinas has misguided you. As a former Roman Catholic I know you can find the truth in your time of confusion and weakness.
Concerning the filioque...when the fathers talk about the procession of the holy spirit from the son they mean THROUGH the son. Read saint gregory of palamas on the procession of the holy spirit.
Papal infalibility is something nd the pope being a leader is something else...the holy fathers never said that the pope is not the leader, we in orthodoxy DO believe that he has an HONORARY position to the other bishops but NOT complete djuristiction over the ENTIRE church or hes dogmatically infallible...rome WAS orthodox before the franks took over it nd started innovating.
About the pope...ur saying the holy fathers are confirming the infalibility of the pope nd he will b free of heresy forever...hows that when the church actually deposed some popes because of heresy like pope honorius?
Just look up the TLM nearest to you. You"ll be very very happy. I promise.
Stellar podcast! I have now binged all the episodes so far.
Do you guys think their is a way to reconcile Heiser's view of three angelic falls with St. Thomas Aquinas view that the angles fell immediately at their creation?
@@Ben_G_Biegler it would be interesting to try. But I’ve never really given that a go. Have at it! 😉
Not even Pope Francis can change the TRUTH of Catholicism.
Really interesting and knowledgeable video! Keep up the good work.
Or in the Ancient Near East we have these cults worshipping these three God's, or when people attribute Easter or Mesopotamian religion, Don't get me started with the whole bunny and eggs for Easter thing when in reality it is what in the middle ages they thought that bunnys were virgins until they had a young bunny so in reality it strikes back to marian thought and the eggs as a ressurection. These weird things people think sometimes, don't get me wrong in my past i went down the christmas tree hole and fell for that shannagins.
